A year later, after my foster brother, Augustin moved in with us, he brought a bunny to our home.
My parents were never against me bringing pets home. But I didn't want one. They will die eventually and make a scar for life.
I was scared, but that didn't mean I wasn't fond of them.
That's why, even after Augustin was cold towards me, I picked it up. Let him all be annoyed as he wants.
Esmee
Is that a bunny?
Augustin
No, I believe it's a dinosaur.
I rolled my eyes at his sarcasm. If it were someone else, I would say he smiled.
But Augustin Wells is not capable of smiling, not in front of me. His mouth molded into a curve.
Augustin
Wha— what the heck! Stop crying, Esmee. Come here.
That was the reason I didn't like having pets. I cried for hours as Augustin held me in his arms and tiny Oreo rubbed his face on my leg.
One of the times, he proved that he was capable of showing emotions towards me.
I looked at my ceiling sighing.
Esmee West
Don't worry about it, Esmee. He will leave tomorrow. You won't see him for months.
I mumbled it like a chant. I hate Augustin.
He always hurt me when he was supposed to be my shield. He always pushed me away when he was supposed to be my shade.
But over and again, I wonder understand what's wrong with 𝘶𝘴.

"My God, Esee! Are you still sulking because of the movie? Come on."
Wait what is she—
Uh-oh. I almost forgot about the series which ruined my day.
Esmee West
"Uh. No Indie, I am not 𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨."
Indigo Miles
"Everything alright?"
Esmee West
"Yeee, I'm good."
Indigo Miles
"If you say so. See you at the party tomorrow. Just once, don't be late."
Party? — Oh yes Aurora's birthday. What on earth is wrong with me?
Esmee West
"Yeah, I'll be there on time."
Indigo Miles
"I'm sure you have already forgotten about that, Stupid-pussʏ."
I ended the call and tossed the phone with a smile. Now or never, is not the time to think about Augustin.
I don't care now. He occupies too much of my thoughts than he should.
Ignore me all he wants. He cares about my parents and I feel that. I'm not the little girl anymore who wanted her brother's love.
