[sub]Collab with [@The Muse][/sub]

As usual, James went on a rant about the logical thinking that needed to be done before any rash decisions were to be made. How was he always so… left brained? Nonetheless, it would still be Sophia’s decision whether or not James agreed with her or not. She wasn’t forcing any of them to work there and they could leave as they pleased, but this was the way it had always been. Change could be so difficult and things had been changing so rapidly the last few months…

Before today, Sophia would have laughed in someone’s face if they told her that her ex-best friend would suddenly return and her three little sisters would have been smoking pot and ditching school for the mall. “[i]Life works in mysterious ways…[/i]” She was lost in thought as James droned on and Riley disappeared from the living room. Her eyes stared at the hardwood floor, “[i]I should find Elliot… apologize…[/i]” Her heart beat faster at the very thought and she nervously bit her lower lip. Elliot had hurt her very deeply, but that was no excuse for slapping him. At least that’s what she could imagine her mother telling her.  

[color=FF3030] "He's gone. Sophi, I guess it's up to you to decide if we're done here.  I mean is there anything else anyone can think of?[/color]”

Sophia’s thoughts broke and she looked up from the floor, glancing around the room full of her siblings minus Riley. The two spots missing their parents took a stab at her heart. “[i]Of course Riley would leave…[/i]” Her eyes found Olivia and Zoey, who had been extremely quiet during the entire “family meeting.” She wondered if they were disappointed in themselves, or perhaps just zoning out on the conversation all together? She frowned and stared at them a moment before turning her cool gaze on Kylie. “[color=dodgerblue]From here on out, Kylie, you are not allowed to take them out of school without my knowledge. I’ll be changing the approved people to pull them out of class tomorrow morning.[/color]” She moved her eyes back to Zoey and Olivia, “[color=dodgerblue]I expect your homework to be done by the time I get home tonight.[/color]” Suddenly Sophia felt exactly like their mother, nagging them about homework. God, how she use to hate when her mother would ask about it twenty times over. Now, it would have been nice to hear it just one more time. “[color=dodgerblue]Oh,[/color]” She paused, the dismayed motherly look quickly melting into an excited grin. She was herself again. “[color=dodgerblue][i]I[/i] have a date tonight! At 7. I should be home a few hours after that, so dinner will be up to yourselves tonight.[/color]” 

Standing up, Sophia clapped her hands together. “[color=dodgerblue]Meeting adjourned![/color]” She smiled as she turned to Kylie, grabbing her hand and forcefully pulling her up from the couch and onto her feet. “[color=dodgerblue]You, miss delinquent, are going for a run with me. I skipped the gym today, so it’ll have to do before my date. And we all know you need to get out more. [/color]” This was part of Sophia’s never ending battle to get her sister active, even if Kylie usually hated most of it. Kylie was going to end up being 300 pounds if Sophia let her! If half the people she knew could see the way Kylie ate on a daily basis, they would have understood Sophia’s relentlessness. “[color=dodgerblue]Get dressed, I’ll be waiting outside.[/color]” With a new bounce in her step, Sophia left the living room and bounded upstairs to change into her [url=http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m181/Music_Sugar/ww_zpsdqwfh0i2.png]running clothes.[/url]


Great. [i]Just great.[/i] Not only had her immature brother fled the premises, probably to be with his hussy of a girlfriend, Sophi was barring her from checking her younger siblings from class and forcing her to go on a jog. Physical activity was the last thing she wanted to do right now. 

[color=salmon]”Look, I’m fine with not being able to sign them out of class, especially since [i]one[/i] of them really wants me to end up in prison. You know, the [i]ungrateful[/i] one. But making me go outside? That’s overdoing it, Sophi.”[/color] Kylie protested. Unfortunately, her sister had already bounded upstairs. Cringing, she quickly shot a nasty look at Olivia. Kylie was doubtful to forget her little sister’s treachery for a while. At least Zoey had been cool about the whole situation.

[color=salmon]”Well, James, I really hope you don’t end up behind bars by the time we get back. Keep both eyes on that little snitch there.”[/color] she warned her brother before she followed her eldest sibling upstairs. Without much of a warning, she barged into Sophia’s room, who just so happened to be in the midst of changing. Kylie was hardly phased by the sight though. [color=salmon]”What do you wear for jogging? Also nice ass, sis. I’m sure the guys compliment it all the time.”[/color] the twin asked while crudely teasing her sister’s physique. 

“[color=dodgerblue]KYLIE![/color]” Sophia screamed and held her black and blue yoga pants up, trying to cover her lower body with them. She instantly sat down on the edge of her bed as some kind of futile attempt to curl up away from her sister’s view. Her face reddened, “[color=dodgerblue]What is [i]wrong[/i] with you?![/color]” She glared, unamused by Kylie’s “compliment.” She did get quite a few compliments on her ass, but that was beside the point. 

As quickly as possible, Sophia squeezed into her pants and then stood up, adjusting her light blue tank top she already had on. “[color=dodgerblue]God, you’re incessant.[/color]” She walked over to her dresser and opened up a drawer filled with an array of workout clothes. “[color=dodgerblue]Just pick something…[/color]” Sitting back down on her bed, she waited and began putting on her running shoes. 

Honestly, Sophia should have expected this from Kylie. They had shared a room together for years and Kylie had always been one to ignore privacy. It apparently didn’t exist unless she needed it. Yet again Sophia came to realize how spoiled she had been while living off in a dorm for a few years. Perhaps it was time to get her own apartment… or a really, [i]really[/i] big lock on her bedroom door. 

Kylie gave Sophia a look that bled confusion. [color=salmon]”Seriously? We’re sisters. It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before, jeez.”[/color] she stated before rolling her eyes and striding over to her sibling’s oh so fancy collection of workout clothes. Flipping through each article of clothing, a snicker or a sound of disgust would escape Kylie’s lips. All of this crap was hideous. [color=salmon]”Holy shit, Sophi, you actually wear this? This is terrible. We really need to get you a new wardrobe.”[/color] the redhead commented, laughing to herself. Maybe one day, she’d convince her sister to let her buy her clothes. Ultimately, Kylie settled with just a bland set of light blue yoga pants and a top to match. 

Without so much of a thought, she undressed in front of her sister. [color=salmon]”See? I’m not ashamed of revealing my body. Just relax around me. I’m not a rapist or some shit.”[/color] Kylie expressed to her sister, posing naked in a silly fashion before cackling. 

Sophia clicked her tongue, “[color=dodgerblue]Tsk.. I can tell by looking at your twitter feed…[/color]” She smirked and pulled her hair back into a long ponytail. 

Rolling her eyes and smirking playfully, Kylie proclaimed loudly [color=salmon]”THAT sounds like jealousy!”[/color] It was kind of nice having Sophia around again. Although they absolutely couldn’t stand each other at times, it was nice to have someone to tease and poke fun at other than Riley. Pulling her stupid workout clothes on, the middle sister gestured for Sophi to get a move on. [color=salmon]”Okay, let’s do this, big sis. You get to watch your favorite sibling fail at life.”[/color]

Sophia laughed as she looked back at her sister, a few feet behind her and her face just as red as her hair. “[color=dodgerblue]Come on, Kylie! Pick it up, girl![/color]” She began jogging lightly, slowing down for Kylie to catch up and taking a few sips from her water bottle. As her sister caught up, Sophia giggled again, “[color=dodgerblue]Didn’t you miss our work out seshes? You’ve certainly gotten out of shape while I’ve been gone. You’re lucky high metabolism runs in the family.[/color]” Being the nice sister she was, Sophia slowed to a walk to give Kylie a break just as they reached the Cherry Blossom Park. They had been running and jogging most of the way there from the house, so it was only fair to let Kylie have a breather. 

Pain lanced through Kylie’s lungs and legs, and she was totally drenched in sweat. Her face bore the expression of a dying soldier, crying for release. Panting, she couldn’t believe she was doing this or that she had even gotten this far. The twin honestly felt like she should have passed out at the 5 minute mark. Inching closer and closer to Sophia, who had [i]so kindly[/i] slowed down for her, Kylie flipped her the bird.

[color=salmon]”You’re… a sadist… you know that?”[/color] she managed to get out in between deep breaths. Breathing heavily, she put her hands on her knees, trying to slow her heart rate. [color=salmon]”Can… we just walk now? Seriously, I might have to go to the ER at this pace.”[/color] Spotting her sister’s water bottle, she immediately snatched it and poured the crystal clear, icy cold liquid all over her face. An almost orgasmic moan emitted from Kylie’s mouth in response.

“[color=dodgerblue]Hey![/color]” Sophia pouted as the rest of her water was wasted on Kylie’s “Flashdance” shower scene. “[color=dodgerblue]That’s all the water, jerk.[/color]” She muttered, playfully pouting. Crossing her arms, Sophia continued walking along the path and began scanning the park. It seemed rather quiet this afternoon, only a few people out jogging. Suddenly, her eyes caught the culprit who had escaped the family meeting… kissing someone. “[color=dodgerblue]Is that Riley?[/color]” Sophia gestured to the couple and glanced back at Kylie. “[color=dodgerblue]No wonder he left in a hurry…[/color]” Her voice trailed off as she examined the blonde Riley was kissing from afar, judging her. Who was this girl, and was she good enough for her brother? 

Kylie’s eyes followed Sophia’s hand to spot her brother macking on the face of that blonde bitch, Claire. A sudden surge of anger flowed through her, but she was way too exhausted to do anything about her emotions right now. [color=salmon]”He’s always trying to stick his dick in something…”[/color] she explained, a visible look of disgust on her face. [color=salmon]”That’s all he thinks about, Sophi. You think [i]my[/i] hobbies are sad… He’s the Lord of All Things Sad. I mean, what the fuck, he jumped out of a window to get away from us to be with that slut.”[/color] 

Sophia laughed at her sister’s comment, “[color=dodgerblue]He’s an eighteen year old boy. They are all girl crazy…[/color]” Riley was probably a little worse than usual, as it had basically been his entire life that he had been infatuated with women… but still. “[color=dodgerblue]Maybe I should meet her.[/color]” Sophia stared at the two, taking her empty water bottle back from Kylie. “[color=dodgerblue]Let’s introduce ourselves. Maybe she’s nice.[/color]” Sophia was clearly more optimistic than Kylie. “[color=dodgerblue]Come on.[/color]” She gestured for Kylie to follow her as she slowly began to walk over to the two. Truly, Sophia felt like breaking up the make out session rather than actually learning anything about his new girl. The old “protective” side of Sophia kicked in, and her target was set on Claire now. “[i]Kill ‘em with kindness…[/i]” 

The redhead shrugged at Sophia’s comment about Riley’s age. [color=salmon]”Alright, fine, let’s go. But you’re not gonna like her. Trust me.”[/color] she informed her sister as they made their way over to the couples’ spot between the parking lot and the park. Riley was sprawled out on a half-wall, trying to be some kind of dumb macho man. Kylie let out of a resounding [i]tch[/i] as they closed in on them. 

[color=salmon]”Oh, look how cute they are, Sophi! Aren’t they just adorable?!”[/color] Riley’s twin called out, nudging the brunette beside her. [color=salmon]”We didn’t expect to see your precious, little faces here. Why don’t you introduce us, [i]my[/i] darling brother?”[/color] Kylie seemed like the sweetest girl in the world right now, a fake smile plastered onto her face as she leered at them with “kind” eyes.
