So...
I may or may not have exaggerated the situation when I was speaking with mum.

While Aunt Lydia DID offer to let me stay with her, and I DID make it sound like I was considering it, it was a no, no.

You see Aunt Lydia, the beautifully insane woman she is, is allergic to fur.

Aka she's allergic to Baker.

While I love aunty I love my doggy more.

But positive side; at least mom and them now had a nonexistent time limit in which to make it up too me.

They could no longer procrastinate in coming up with how to fix things.

And me? For one in my life I can sit back and not give a unicorns butt.

Life's great!

And as I sat smiling all too smugly, Train and Tristan were looking at me funny.

As if I had gone insane, not that I entirely blame them. I probably looked like a mad woman grinning the way I was.

"What's with that grin" Train asked looking pale.

"Mmm I wonder" I answered cheerfully.

"You're up too no good" Tristan observed and I pout.

He didn't have to point it out.

"What did you do?" Train asked sternly, looking at me with narrow eyes and I looked away.

Boo, their spoiling my fun.

"I was angry, and may have exaggerated a LITTLE bit on me moving away to go live with my aunt" I mumbled, loud enough for them to hear yet soft enough that no one else could.

We were at Krystal's bakery after all.

Tristan and Train looked panicked for a second before they calmed down and asked "are you?"

It seemed neither of these big softies wanted me to leave.

I'm so honored right now.

No legit, I was honored just a week ago they hated everything about me. Their honestly adorable, I have come to think of them as uncles.

I already have brothers, albeit unicorn poppy ones, so I decided I'd call them my uncles.

"Of course not" I answered them incredulously "I promised Leo after I came back that I wouldn't leave him so..."

And there was Baker.

My two favorite people.

How could I just leave them?

Tristan and Train sighed in relief before looking at me "then why did you say you were?"

I shrugged " I was being mellow dramatic as usual"

"Besides I've already forgiven the idiots, I'm just waiting for my family to actually be one, ya know? Simple apologies won't erase the damage and neither will time, what we need is bonding and so I figured if they think I'm leaving they would try to monopolize our time together, hopefully salvage parts of our relationships" I continued to explain my plan to them.

Train frowned "that's..."

"Actually not a bad idea" Tristan finished for Train, nodding his head impressed.

"But what if it fails?" Train asked me and I thought for a bit.

Coming to a conclusion I say "then I'll have to resort to telling them to grow the F up"

I honestly want them to come to this solution on their own and we can bond as a family, however if that doesn't work I'll have to confront them again and be honest.

I shrugged.

sounds like a plan to me!

Shut up cliché wattpad voice!

Doesn't work that way! The voice sung obnoxiously

Well now it does, so shut it!

Humph! You're always so mean

Oh gosh no! Nope! Nuh-uh! I am not talking to myself! Be gone Satan!

See what I did there? Eh! never mind.

Back to the twins.

"And why can't you do plan B from the start?"Tristan asks and I smile.

"because it's no fun"

Both boys sighed, again and I chuckled.

"They're going to be upset you lied" Train said. To which I nodded having thought of that before.

"True, true" I nod with each true.

"But you don't care" Tristan guesses and I just shrug.

"Of course they'll be upset BUT at least they would have gained something from it"

They'd get their family back after all.

"Somehow I feel like this is going to backfire" Train sighed and I glared.

"Don't jinx me!" I pout.

Train however just shrugged.

"What about your dad?" Tristan asked me as we sat there.

"His... Been trying, he comes home earlier, and he insists in spending time together which usually involves board games or movies not that I mind" I said happily but hesitantly "he wants me to go to therapy, said he'd go with me or get it that baker can go with, I realize I need help so I can't complain"

Tristan seemed to like the idea of me getting therapy, train was also happy that at least my dad's coming around.

We were still sitting there when I saw a few towns' people enter the cafe; they took one look at me and raised their noses at me.

Its been an everyday occurrence and while I've seen this before and been through it before I still get annoyed.

Let me ad em, let me ad em!

No!

But seriously, what is there problem?

Train noticed me observing the peoples behaviors and gave me a small sad smile.

"They don't mean any harm their just wary" Train explained.

But I'm curious, wary of what? I even asked the boys in front of me but they just shrugged.

Mmmmh, what all do I know about this town?

I know they've been wary of me since I moved here,

I know that Damien and Leo weren't too pleased when I moved here,

Train and Tristan seemed especially against me being here,

Why would an entire town be so iffy about a daughter and father duo moving to a quaint town?

Unless something happened in the past with someone who moved here? But Tristan seemed so against me, and so angry I was in there house that night, so does it have to do with them?

They always look so sad, and so broken. A reflection of myself and I know what happened to me to get me to that point but what happened to them? And why doesn't it affect their younger siblings as much?

Perhaps something happened during their childhood.

They being older would mean they remember more...

I want to know but I don't wanna pry, it could end up hurting them. Maybe I should ask? Or wait until they open up too me?

Ugh, I could always look at the town hall and find a newspaper article, if it affected the town this much there's bound to have been some news coverage on it. But again I don't think Train and Tristan will be happy with that.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" I heard Tristan asked and I looked at him and train with serious eyes.

"About your secret, and this town's secret. Why you both always look so sad and why it doesn't affect your brothers at much" I said honestly, I didn't want to lie to them.

They paled at my answer but before they could speak I smiled "I won't go looking for answers, and I don't expect you to give me any, but I'm here if you wanna talk, or if you just wanna binge eat a ton of ice cream on my bathroom floor I'm up for that too"

They smiled at me and I smiled back.
