I love you forever. [closed]

Mariska looked at up at him, "You are going to get yourself in trouble Ash." She whispered as she placed her hand on his wrist. She smiled as him then laced her fingers with his.

---

Bryce stared at her, not sure what to say. "Um...what do you mean?" He asked her.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton shrugged. "I don't care," he said. "She can't treat you like that." He squeezed her hand and smiled at her. "Besides, it felt good to finally get that off my chest."

---

"I mean what I said," Liliana said, biting her lip hard. "I'm attracted to you."

Mariska smiled, "I love you." She said as she stood up. She hugged him and buried her face in his chest. She liked having her brother to take care of her.

---

Bryce just stared at her, "Like attracted like sexually?" HE asked. He was a little surprised that she was telling him this. He was shocked actually.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too, sis," he murmured.

---

Liliana looked down and nodded a bit. "Yeah," she mumbled.

Mariska looked up at him and kissed him softly. She placed her hands on his sides and smiled.

---

Bryce just stared at her, "Are you sure?" He asked as he sat down. He felt overwhelmed.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton smiled at her and bit his lip. "Have you ever thought about running away?" he asked quietly.

---

"I'm sure," Liliana said, frowning slightly. "I'm sorry, I just . . . I'm sorry." She turned and quickly went up to her room, shutting the door and sighing heavily.

Mariska shrugged, "Yea but i doubt that i would be able to get awya." She said.

---

Bryce frowned as she took off up the stairs. He went after her and knocked lightly before stepping in. "Lilana." He said, shutting the door.

@ anchored lungs.

"What if we were going together?" Ashton asked, running his fingers through her hair. "Do you think we could make it together?"

---

Liliana shook her head. "I'm sorry, Bryce," she mumbled. "I'm disgusting."

Mariska smiled, "Ashton you know that she would come looking for us." She said softly as she relaxed under his touch.

---

Bryce shook his head, "No you arent." He said as he walked towards her. He smiled as he hugged her tightly, "It's alright Liliana." He said.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton bit his lip gently. "Yeah, but we're a lot smarter than she is," he said.

---

Liliana let out a small breath and leaned against him, wrapping her arms around him.

Mariska watched him, "She will have everyone looking for us." She said as she watched him.

---

Bryce smiled as he held her close. HE couldn't believe she had told him that.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton sighed softly, shaking his head. "I just want out of here," he said. He knew she did too, but he didn't think they had a choice. They were pretty much stuck here.

---

"I'm gonna go take a bath," Liliana said as she pulled away from him, rubbing her eyes and walking to her dresser to grab a nightie.

Mariska looked at him, "If we try to get away they will just come find us." She explained to him. SHe knew that their parents would never let them get way. It was going to take forever to get away from the house. Even if that was possible.

---

Bryce sighed as he watched her walk away then went to his room.

[Do you want to skip a little?]

@ anchored lungs.

[Sure, to anything specific?]

@ xxKitanaxx

Maybe mariska and Ashton are at a fancy dinner with their parents? And i don't know about the other one.

@ anchored lungs.

[Alright, I'll figure something out. ]

Ashton sighed softly as he sat down next to Mariska at the table in the restaurant they were in, across from his mother. He put the napkin in his lap and looked over at his sister, offering her a soft smile that told her everything was going to be okay. Their parents had been super strict lately, even more so than usual, and it was making things pretty tense at home.

---

Liliana sat in the living room, finishing up a novel while Thomas napped in the middle of the living room floor. He was laid out on a blue blanket that was surrounded by all the toys he'd been playing with earlier. It had taken at least an hour to get him to lay down, but once she had, he was out cold. And now she got peace and quiet and enough time to finish her book before Bryce got home.

Mariska sat there at the table and looked over at Ashton. She thought it was weird that their parents made them go out with them. However, maybe they were trying to be nice for once. Though it was probably just to get attention from their friends. Mariska put the napkin in her lap then took a sip of her water. She watched as her mother talked to them about the charity the dinner was for.

---

Bryce sighed as he walked into the house and threw his bag down. He looked over seeing Liliana, "Aren't you ever going to do something besides read and babysit?" He asked her. He figured she had to be bored of doing it every day. The girl needed to get out more for sure. Bryce walked over and sat next to her.

@ anchored lungs.

Ashton looked around, wishing he could be anywhere but here right now. Maybe at home in bed, watching TV and hanging out with Mariska or something. Anything. He looked over at his sister, noticing how nice she looked tonight. She looked so beautiful.

---

Liliana looked up at him and bit her lip. "Like what?" she asked, raising an eyebrow before looking back down at her book. She finished the last paragraph before closing it. "I need the money."

Mariska looked at the menu as she tried to decide on what to eat. She watched as the waitress came up and their dad ordered their food before they had any say. Mariska closed her menu and sighed. She should have known that was how it was going to go. Mariska looked over at Ashton and smiled a little. She couldn't wait to go home.

---

Bryce looked at her, "well you need to do something else. You are going to waste all your time doing this and wish you did something more with your life." He said with a shrug. He put his feet on the coffee table then looked around the room. Bryce looked at her and smirked, "Have some fun sis." He teased.
