it, Presley. How he feels is his problem, not yours.”
    “It is when I made him feel that way.”
    “Pres? Everything okay in there?” Trevor calls from the living room.
    “No, we’re having a quickie,” she yells with a roll of her eyes. I smirk at how she still has some humor left. “You should go.”
    “Sure? I can take him, you know,” I smile.
    “I’m sure.”
    Trevor opens her bedroom door and peeks inside with a clear view of her bathroom. His eyes harden at the sight of Presley standing between my legs and my hands on her hips.
    “Seriously, Trevor?”
    His mouth forms a determined line, but he doesn’t say anything.
    “I better get going.” I stand and push her back gently. “Bye, Smarty.” And then, I just walk away. That’s my plan anyway, but when I’m a step away from her bedroom door, Presley gets the last word.
    “Hey, Levi.” I turn to look at her. “I’ll see you Friday, okay?”
    My raised eyebrows are the only sign of my surprise. I nod and walk past a fuming Trevor without another word.

Chapter Six
    Presley
     
    I push past Trevor and head to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
    “Presley, I forbid you to go out with him.” He stands in my kitchen with his arms crossed.
    “Excuse me?” I turn, glaring at my twin brother.
    “You heard me. You are not going out with him anymore.”
    I sit my glass on the counter and walk over to my twin. Even though Trevor is taller than me, I’m not going to back down from him, this time. “Listen to me Trevor and listen up good. I am going out with Levi again and you have no say in the situation.”
    “He is just using you. Do you know what kind of reputation he has?”
    “I bet it’s a lot like yours. One Bunny after the other.” Trevor steps back from me.
    “I’m nothing like him,” he hisses at me.
    “Are you sure about that? Let’s compare, shall we?” I tap my finger on my chin and think of all the ways they are alike. “You both are captains. You both love hockey. You both are stubborn, and you both love Bunnies. Did I miss anything?” Trevor’s eyes are filled with hurt and anger. I know that look well because it was the way he looked at me when I made my decision to stay with our mother in the divorce. Standing here, looking at him reminds me of our father. Dad always looks at me like I’m doing something wrong all the time. I can’t stand that Trevor is treating me like this.
    “You’re my sister!” he shouts. “He’s nothing, but trash. Do you remember all the nights we talked about him and the way I was treated by him?”
    “He isn’t trash and high school is over. Maybe you need to grow up, because the Levi I have seen is a lot more mature than you.”
    Trevor gets very close to my face, glaring at me. “Don’t come crying to me when he fucks you, kicks you out of his bed the next morning, and never calls you again.”
    “Get out, now.” I’ve never kicked my brother out of my apartment before. I can’t believe the way he is talking to me. My brother never spoke to me this way. We’ve always been close and hardly ever argued. 
    Trevor glares at me before turning and walking out of my apartment. I’m not sure how long I stand in my kitchen or how long I’ve been crying, but I walk back into the bathroom and take a hot shower. I need to calm my nerves, and the hot steam is helping me relax from the fight between Trevor and me.
    I get out of the shower, wrap my hair in a towel, and put on my robe. Sitting on my bed, I stare at my favorite picture of Trevor and me on my nightstand. We were five, and it was our first day of school. I was in braids, and Trevor’s hair was a mess of red curls, which have now gone away and it’s turned more brown over the years. We both have huge smiles on our faces and it’s the one time we almost look identical to each other. I can’t fight with my twin. I pick up my cell phone and call him.
    “He’s going to hurt you.” Trevor’s voice is low, and I can still
