Akira sat there in her usual spot, nursing a soda as she waited for everyone to show up. She knew Eri wasn't far behind her, but what about the others. Sighing, she looked down to her drink and wondered what this would do to their friendship. She knew she didn't want to loose them. No, she would have to work through this. Sure she may have known all along, and even tried to get closer to Richard, but he had never returned his feelings toward her. Never even thought about it, never even considered what she was wanting.<br/><br/>This was all bullshit, she had thought so for the past few years, well ever since she had found out. And now, everyone knew.<em> "What was that back there, Why didn't you tell me we are blood why did you not tell me this?"</em>Eri's voice pierced though her thoughts as she gave him a weak smile. She shook her head and whispered, "I didn't tell you because I wasn't thinking." It was the truth, she never thought to tell him, never thought to warn him. This was going to be very interesting. How was Eri going to handle this? She already knew it wasn't going to work between him and Sandra. Already knew it, but the thing was they had to deal with the blows as they came.<br/><br/>Hearing her twins next comment she chuckled. "I think they will already know. And do you think I already knew that?" She looked at him like he was a dork. She had known he was gay ever since she had known about the deed to their marriages. Then she saw Jared walk in and it was apparent he had no clue what was going on. Sighing, she looked at her brother and then towards her friend.<br/><em><br/>"How's it going guys?"</em>She gave a scoff as she said, "Well it seems you must not have been apart of the deal. Maybe it was just us Eri." Could it be? Really why would their parents want them married? Was something wrong with their dad. Shaking her head, she said, "We just found out that we are engaged." She shrugged her shoulders as she looked to the door again.<br/><br/>Next came Sandra. After waving to her, she smiled and nodded ehr head. Not really wanting to answer the question for Eri. Sighing, she waited for the rest of the crew, moving closer to Jared, letting Sandra take her seat.<br/><br/>Then there was Claire.<em>Why are they not engaged?</em>She asked herself. It was bothering her. She thought if the four them ahd then why not these two. Sighing, she looked out the window, waiting. Just waiting. Waiting to wake up from this nightmare. Waiting for Richard. Waiting for nothing at all.<br/><br/>Then she saw him. Richard walking through the door, and she knew it wasn't just a bad dream. This was all real. Shaking her head, she took a sip of her soda and gave a deep breath out. She was afraid, nervous, a ball of all these conflicting emotions. She looked back at Richard, the question clear in her eyes.<em>Why?</em>
