lil bro leave me alone and she storms off to her room

Jessica yells back at her brother as he doesn't seem to be paying attention. Her anger fuels her even more, causing her cheeks to flush with rage and frustration. She storms off to her room, slamming the door behind her so hard it shakes the whole house.

As she sits on her bed, fuming and kicking her shoes off, she can't help but feel guilty for taking out her anger on Charleston. He's just a little kid after all, and he didn't deserve that treatment. But something about him brings out the worst in her sometimes... maybe it's because they're so close in age? She doesn't know what to do with these feelings anymore; they only seem to make things worse.

Sighing heavily, she flops back on her bed and stares up at the ceiling, trying to calm down. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake this feeling of guilt and frustration. She decides to try to apologize to Charleston later when she feels more in control of her emotions...hopefully he'll forgive her for being such a jerk earlier.

After some time, Jessica feels a bit calmer and decides it's best to apologize before Charleston goes to sleep. She knocks on his door softly, not wanting to startle him, and pokes her head in when he says she can come in. He looks up at her expectantly, but his expression turns confused when she sheepishly admits her wrongdoing. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier," she mumbles, her cheeks flushing again as the words tumble out awkwardly. "It was mean and I shouldn't have done that."

Charleston looks at his older sister, studying her face for a moment before smiling reassuringly. "It's okay, Jessi. I forgive you." Then he pauses, thinking about how she's feeling right now. "Do you want to play a game or something?" He asks softly, wanting to cheer her up and make things better between them again.

She smiles weakly at her brother. "Okay, that sounds like fun." She sits down next to him on the bed and they spend the rest of the night playing cards and laughing together, occasionally one of them would glance over at the other, sharing a silent moment of understanding and love. Jessica felt guilty for losing control earlier but was glad that she could make it right with Charleston before going to sleep. They fell asleep wrapped in each others' warmth and comfort, their sibling bond stronger than ever despite their recent argument.

Charleston woke up first and couldn't help but feel... weird. His brother was squished against him, his hard thing pressing into his hip. He hesitated for a moment before finally moving Jessi away so he could stretch out on the bed. It made him kind of sad to move him though; they always slept together like this. But he needed space and... well, that thing really was uncomfortable against him.

Yawning, Jessica cracked her eyes open and sat up on the edge of the bed, rubbing the sleep out of them. She glanced over at Charleston who'd moved away from her during the night, leaving a cold spot where his warmth had been. It made her feel kinda lonely, but she didn't want to be a baby about it.

"Morning," she yawned. "Did you sleep okay?"

Charleston nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine." He lied; the bed was just a little bit emptier without her there. They showered and got dressed together, like they usually did, chatting about their dreams from last night and making plans for what they wanted to do today. As they headed downstairs, Jessi couldn't help but steal glances at her brother every now and then; something seemed off about him, but she didn't want to push the issue just yet.

"Hey Mom," they both called out as they walked into the kitchen, "what's for breakfast?"

"Oh, hi Mom," Jessi said with a bright smile, pouring herself some orange juice. "Fries for breakfast? Sounds good to me!" She glanced at Charleston out of the corner of her eye, wondering if he was up for it too. His mood seemed... off somehow. Then again, she had been a little distant with him this morning as well. Maybe they were both just feeling kinda off today?

"I'm fine, just... I dunno, kinda tired this morning?" She shrugged it off with a small yawn. "How about you, Char? You seem kinda distant too." She set her juice down and turned to face him fully, giving him a concerned look.

Charleston looked at his older sister for a moment before shrugging as well. "Yeah, me too. I guess we're just tired huh?" He hoped that was all it was. He didn't want Jessi to think he was still upset about yesterday or anything like that.

"Maybe we can go to the park later, if it's not too hot?" Jessi suggested, then paused. "Or do you have anything else you want to do? I know sometimes I feel like I just want to do my own thing on weekends." She glanced at her brother again, hoping he wasn't feeling that way.

"Oh, and Mom, can we order some pizza for lunch or something?" Charleston piped up suddenly, his eyes lighting up at the thought of their favorite food. "Please?" He smiled hopefully at Jessi, not wanting to ruin any plans she might have had with her friends or anything like that.
