was close to campus, and there were numerous apartment buildings around us, and students everywhere most of the time. The aroma hit me when I opened the door. Dash might not be my favorite person, but he could cook.
    “We’re here.” I announced, heading for the kitchen.
    It didn’t matter how many times I suggested some minor décor changes to the guys, they just weren’t going to make them. This place was a picture perfect bachelor pad: posters on the wall, limited furniture, and a large TV with a gaming system attached to it.
    Dash was sitting a large bowl of scrambled eggs on the table as I went to kiss Dart.
    “Garnet, you look nice,” Dart said as we all settled into our seats.
    “Thanks,” she gave him a tiny smile.
    We began to pass the food around, and for a little while we ate in silence.
    “Garnet, you still excited for classes to start tomorrow?” Dart asked.
    I admired how he tried to make her feel so welcome.
    “Yeah I guess,” she shrugged.
    “Well, I know I’m happy this is my last year,” I said excitedly. No more school for me.”
    “I agree,” Dart added. “What about you, Dash?”
    “Yep,” he said while shoveling food into his mouth.
    I don’t know what it was, but I hated the silence. I couldn’t stand it much longer as everyone continued to eat.
    “Garnet, you seemed to have a good time last night.” Dart gave her a sweet smile.
    “It was neat.” She picked at her toast. “I assume you drove me home; thank you for that.”
    “Ha,” Dash scoffed. “I’m the one that lug your ass up the stairs.”
    “Well, thanks.” She gave him a sarcastic grin.
    “I’m glad you had fun.” I tried to give her a true smile, but it was hard because she’d been very drunk, and I shouldn’t have let it get that far.
    “I’m sure she had a blast passing out in the back seat.” Dash continued.
    “You’ve done it too, Dash.” Dart gave him a hard look.
    He rolled his eyes at his brother, but didn’t say anymore. We all went back to our food, not saying anything else. Garnet and I helped clean up the kitchen when we were all done. Dart told me that he and Dash were going to lift weights. I gave him a big kiss.
    “I’ll see you tonight.” I winked at him.
    “You’re not worn out from last night?”
    “I’m never tired of you, Dart Terrance.” I pressed my lips hard against his.
    “Would you two please get a room?” Dash groaned.
    “I’m leaving, Dash, calm down.” I patted his shoulder as I followed Garnet out the door.
    I could tell by the way she walked across the street that she was upset about something.
    “You could have told them thank you.” I informed her, slamming the front door.
    “I have a massive headache, and you practically dragged me over there, when I didn’t want to go.” Garnet raised her voice to me.
    “Well, excuse me for trying to make you feel welcome.” I used the same tone as she had with me.
    “I’m still hung over. I’m fucking going to bed.” She headed toward the stairs.
    “Stop using that language.”
    Garnet, my baby sister, turned to me, narrowing her light brown eyes. Her face was stone, almost scary. “I don’t think you got the fucking memo, but Mom’s dead, and I sure as hell don’t need another one. I don’t want your pity, or your fucking welcome wagon. I’ve been doing just fine without you for the last three years.”
    I couldn’t say a single word. My heart broke at her words, and I watched her run away from me.

    “One more, Dash. Come on.” I pushed him to do one more bench-press.
    Dash grunted as he pushed up on the heavyweights with all his might. I spotted him until he dropped it into the holder. He sat up, breathing hard, sweat rolling down the sides of his face.
    “Good job, brother.” I slapped his back.
    “Thanks,” he panted. “You want to go another round?”
    I shook my head. “My arms are already burning. We’ve been here for a while now.”
    He nodded. “Let’s head
