Playing With Fire

I picture Marshall and Katherine as Nina Dobrev X
Marshall Pov
Damn Calum for making me constantly worry about him. Damn his friends that are obviously a bad influence on him and damn me for being a good sister all the time. He'd always get me to cover for him which basically lie to mum and dad while he has a better and more exciting life than me. I'd have to lay in Calums single bed and put the cover over me while mum foolishly believes its Calum. I found myself wondering if he would ever do that for me. I was waiting for mum and dad to stop arguing before I left the confines of his bed. Sure, it smelt like boys and gone of pizza but I couldn't deny the comforts of his memory foam mattress.
"fucking vile bastard" Mum says under her breath when she enters the room. I hold in a breath while she sits at the end of the bed. Well this was new I internally scream. "Oh Calum, what am I going to do" she places a cold palm on my back, the covers blocking the fact it was me. My heart was literally racing "you're such a good boy" Mum finally sighs before turning the light out. Her voice was soft and gentle, unlike anything I've ever heard before. It seemed like ages before I plucked up the courage to go back into my room. If Calum thinks im going to do that for the rest of my life he's got another thing coming. I mean, I have a life too. Granted, not a very good one thats filled with excitement but that not the point. "hey Dad" I kiss him lightly on the cheek, surprise filling his face. "its late Marshall, didn't expect you to be up" "me either to be honest, I couldn't sleep since you and mum, you know... fought" I look down at my fingers while they suddenly became so interesting. His wrinkled face pales.He probably didn't expect me to just come out with it. I'm normally very shy but not when my family is concerned. "We've been married 24 years, its only natural that we'd fight a little, but thats all it is" he assures me, giving me a small but lovely smile. "I hate it when you two fight, it gives me the belly wiggles" I confess, leaning my head onto his shoulder. "is that even a real thing?" Dad laughs
"it is now" all of a sudden my twin sister Katherine comes walking in the kitchen with her black high heels on and the tight dress that barely reaches her thighs. Her hair was a mess which was unusual for her perfectionist ways. She had quiet clearly been drinking. Rolling my eyes, I look at dad expecting him to have a go, like he would if it was me."hello Daddy" she kissed him sloppily on the cheek, smelling like vodka and a ash tray. While doing so she smacks the back of my head discreetly. "did you have a good time at Ellies?" Ellie was Katherines imaginary friend but our parents didn't know that. Only I knew. At least I didn't have to cover for her I suppose.She probably went round ethan, her exs house. Katherine is so predictable. "yeah, we watched movies and did some homework. You know, the usual" she smiled sweetly. How could dad ever be so stupid?
"Katherine, don't you dare use up all the hot water" I shout as I bang as hard as I could on the door. Every morning she'd do this, every morning she'd allow me to get in a freezing shower. It was the middle of winter so a nice hot shower would really give me the boost I need today. Calum came up from behind me and pushed me slightly." can you shut up, I have a fucking hangover" He had a beanie on which was lower than usual. He reminded me of a convict. He had grey sweatpants on and minion socks. What an attractive sight. "be careful Callum, mum or dad might hear you and wonder why on earth you have a hangover when you were in your room all night" I give him a vindictive smile because to be honest I really wasn't in the mood. "Mum" I scream down the stairs making the dog bark."which one is it?" typical. She can't even tell her children apart. This why I prefer my dad. Although he show signs of favouritism, he knows me better than anyone.
"its Marshall, Katherine is making me late. Again!" I turn around and the bathroom door is open, the light from the window illuminating the hallway. Maybe Lord is finally looking after me. To my dismay the water was ice cold. Wet towels were scattered everywhere. "fuck sake" Storming into my room im shocked to see Katherine in the clothes which I laid out on my bed. Tight black jeans "Katherine I was gonna wear that"
"we all knew you wouldn't pull this Off"she shows signs of discomfort "this thong is proper cutting me"
"you could always give it back" I cross my eyes and give her the most dirtiest look. "you know, you really need to get some new clothes Marshie, I'm sick of wearing the same clothes" Katherine looks into the floor length mirror, analysing her figure. She always had a better shape then me. Bigger boobs, bigger bum, bigger confidence. Although she's rude and mean, sometimes I wish I wasn't just the other twin. I decided to skip school seeing as my hair was greasy, my clothes were all creased. It was a bonus that mum and dad had work. All I really wanted to do was get in the bath and wash away all my stress. The house was empty as I place my house keys into the bowl near the front door. "Calum?"I call out. I breathe a sigh of relief when there was utter silence.I run a bath, making sure that it was deep. I pull the bathroom door too while I strip myself of my clothing.Now this was the life. "I'm not saying shes a gold digger, but she aint messing with no broke-" I start to sing, thinking about how on earth I knew the words.
