(Giovannie's POV)

To cool myself off I decided to walk home.

      I'm still pretty ticked at Nick. That friggin' ass, he didnt have to bite me! Now I have another thing to hide. Damn,I thought darkly, just when Hunter's mark was starting to fade too...

      I wanted to have Nick loosen up a little, release some pent up tention and look what I get. I released Nick's hidden passion all right...I just hope I hadn't just created a monster or something. I didn't need another possessive bastard on my case. Hunter was already a handful as it is.

      I sighed, dragging my feet up the front steps of my house. All thoughts of Nick aside, when I enter the house I knew what I had to do. Tell Jenna everything. It was something I decided and even told Nick so I'm really going to do it this time. But first I should just take a loooong shower before facing her. Yup, I needed a little time to prepare my speech. Time to write down my will and testiment too cause I'm pretty sure that Jenna is going to kill me.

      I reached out and opened the door and froze. Well...guess there was no way around it now. Jenna was sitting on the stairs, arms crossed, that 'I got a bone to pick with you' look on her face. I sighed. So much for my long shower.

     "Swing low," I sung under my breath as I entered our house to face my pending doom, "sweet chariot..."

      "You know," she began slowly, waiting til I closed the door behind me, "I was going to stay out of it, just leave you alone to your own little world but now I gotta step in."

      "What?"

      "Hunter says you've been ignoring his calls."

      I gulped, avoiding her searching eyes. "So? Maybe I was busy."

      "We both know you've just been deleting his messages, Gio." Jenna stood, stepping off the stairs. "Now, is there something you want to tell me?"

      I faced her opening my mouth to say yes but the word just wouldn't come out. I wasn't just scared that Jenna would kill me, I don't think she'd do something that extreme anyway but I was scared that she'd hate me. If my own twin couldn't stand me...

      "Well?" She lifted up a delicate brow, arms still crossed. "Is there?"

      "No," I said quickly, chickening out. I brushed passed her, headed for the stairs. I took one step on it and froze when I heard the next words come out of her mouth.

      "I know what's going on, Gio."

      I swirled to face her, nearly falling flat on my face. "What did Hunter tell you? He lies! I'm a pure sweet boy!"

      Jenna rolled her eyes. "Stuff it, Gio."

      I sighed, sitting on a step. "I wanted to tell you myself. I'm sorry, Jenna. God, I'm sorry."

      "Sorry for what?"

      I swallowed, a lump forming in my throat. So...she was going to make me spell it out huh?

      "Hunter and I...we...I...I screwed up."

      "Go on, do tell."

      I stared at the carpet. "I fooled around with Hunter...but we never had sex!" I added quickly. "I swear we didn't." Not that it made much of a difference.

     "So why are you avoiding him now?"

      "Because I...I can't be around him and not be hurting you, Jenna. I'm weak." I buried my face in my hands. "When it comes to that guy I'm too fucking weak."

      "So," Jenna said cooly, "what you're saying is even though you know it's wrong you would have still messed around behind my back if you came near Hunter?"

      I hung my head shamefully. "Yes."

      "Because you're weak against him?"

      If possible my head would have dangled on the ground. "Yes."

      "You're one twisted sick bastard. I can't believe we're related. I never want to see or talk to you again, Giovannie. Stay out of my life. I hate you."

      My eyes burned, vision blurring. There it was, the words I had been dreadfully waiting for her to say. Nick had told me that men didn't cry...but what if you're heart was breaking because you hurt someone you loved and they hated you for it?

      I ran a hand down my face, still couldn't bring myself to look at her. Why should I? I was dirty. A 'twisted sick bastard'. I opened my mouth to apologize, even knowing that it wouldn't do any good but her next words cut me off.

      "Is that what you wanted me to say?"

      I blinked at her. "Huh?"

      Jenna sighed, uncrossing her arms. "Is that what you wanted to me tell you? That I hated you and never wanted to see you again?"

      I shook my head. "No...but it would make sense. I betrayed your trust. I'm the lowest of the low, a scum, hell I'm lower than scum I'm-"

      "Shut up, Gio."

      I shut my mouth, waiting for her to tear into me more. I deserved every bit of it. I had it coming. Hunter may have been her boyfriend but I was her brother. If she couldn't trust even her own twin...

      "Are you sorry?"

      "God, yes, I'm very very very very sorry. I swear that I'll stay away from Hunter from now on. I won't even breath his name anymore starting now."

      Jenna rolled her eyes. "You don't need to go that far, I can see that the guilt was killing you inside."

      "Yeah."

      "You were scared that I'd hate you?"

      "Yeah...do you?" I held my breath for her answer.

      "No."

      I released it, relieved. She didn't hate me. Jenna didn't hate me! I stood and pulled her into my arms, hugging her. "I don't deserve you for a sister."

      "No, you really don't," she replied, "but I have something I'm guilty of as well."

      "What?"

      "I knew about you and Hunter."

      "Yeah," I drew back a litte to look at her. "Cause he told you before I could."

      "No," she shook her head. "How dumb do you think I am, Giovannie? If I really wasn't aware of what was going on between you then I might as well have been the blindest person on earth."

     "Huh?" I was my lame reply.

      Jenna stepped back and crossed her arms again. "What I'm saying, Gio, is that I knew everything from the beginning."

      "Everything?"

      "Yeah, everything."

      "But...why didn't you say anything? Why did you wait this long..."

      "That's because it was all planned out." She frowned. "Actually it was a plan until you ruined everything by involving Nick. Smooth move, Gio, now Hunter's pissed."

      I gapped. "What the hell are you talking about!? What plan? Hunter was involved? Wha? Whaaaa?"

      She held up a hand to stop my rambling. "Do you really think I'd go out with Hunter knowing that you've been in love with him since we were 11? "

      I sputtered. "I-I wasn't in love with him!"

      "Yes you are."

      "Am not!"

      "Uh huh."

      "Wait, wait, wait," I shook my head, "let me get this straight. You and Hunter tricked me?"

      Her face pinched. "Well...yeah I guess."

      "Huh?"

      "Geez, Gio," she threw up her hands, irritated, "you're so slow. Look, we, as in Hunter and I both knew you liked him but was too dumb and blind to see it. You kept hiding your feelings with those little 'teases' you keep giving him. He's had this thing for you for as long as I can remember but because you're such a neanderthal he's just been waiting patiently for you to grow up. I got tired of it so I aproached him with a plan that would have worked...should have worked but we forgot how rash and stupid you could be. Why did you have to get Nick involved?"

      I gapped. "Oh no you didn't! Don't scold me when you...you and Hunter conspired against me! Do you know how bad I felt, Jenna? Do you!?"

      Jenna snorted. "Not bad enough to stop doing what you were doing."

      Okay, that had been a slap to the face.

      "You and Hunter...you two are..." I slumped back against the wall, suddenly losing my energy. They had known? They had planned it? So all that time Hunter...Ugh! I can't believe this!

      "The plan was for you to admit your feelings for him once you realized that you could lose him to me," Jenna continued, "we weren't expecting Nick."

      "Well neither had I," I shot back, "I had panicked okay? I thought that you'd hate me if you found out!"

      "You know," she huffed, placing her hands on her hips. "I tried to give you an escape route. Remember when you had barged in my room and said you felt guitly, blah blah blah?"

      "Yeah, what of it?"

      "I was going to tell you the truth there actually if you would have admitted that you liked Hunter. But noooo, you had to chicken out. I had to tackle you to try to get the confession but you were just to stubborn to admit it."

      "I was scared," I defended myself, "not stubborn!"

      "Yeah, yeah," she waved it off with a hand. "You thought that I'd hate you. I got that."

      Oh I'm pissed. Way beyond pissed, I was furious! I had been hoodwinked by my own twin! "Jenna you-you..."

      She lifted up a chin, eyes daring me to finish. "You what?"

      I looked around and when I saw nothing I stormed into the living room, grabbed a couch pillow and stormed back to her. "You bitch!" I smacked her with the pillow.

      Jenna gasped, eyes widening with shock. "Oh no...you...didn't."

      "You better be glad you're a girl cause I would have decked you."

     Jenna snatched the pillow from my hand and smacked me with it. "Yeah, right. You wouldn't have had the balls to do it anyway. Even if I was a man."

      Oh hell to the naw. Hold my earings, Shanaynay!

      "Am I interrupting?"

      Jenna and I turned to the the voice and low and behold, Hunter stood in the enterence, hand still on the door knob. He had just let himself in like he owned the friggin place. Seeing his face made something in me snap.

      "No," I answered, walking straight to him. "You just came right on time."

      My fist connected with his jaw.
