-SAIF'S POV-

Noorah: What do you mean it's not my fault? Y3ny 9ij there is a girl??

Saif: Choofy Noorah, you had a twin sister and her name was Nouf. When you guys were only a few months old, your mother was giving you both a bath. At that time we only had one maid, Sally, and she was there to take care of me. Instead of hiring another maid, Sally had to clean up, cook, serve the parents and look after us. I was only three at the time but I still remember that day very well. I was playing with my leggos while Sally was helping your mother give you girls a bath. I stepped on one of my leggos and started crying so Sally came out to see what had happened. She was giving me a cookie and a cup of milk – which is what she always does when I'm sad, even now when I'm 16 – when we heard a loud thump. Sally and I ran to the bathroom to find your mother and Nouf on the floor. Your mother had slipped on some water from the bathtub while trying to wrap Nouf in a towel. Your mother was unconscious and Nouf was lying on the floor next to her. Sally ran and called my father and an ambulance right after. My father told Sally to stay home with me and you while he went to the hospital with your mother and Nouf. Your mother was fine, she just had a few bumps and bruises, 7emdellah. But Nouf, Nouf had suffered from internal bleeding and her body was too weak for her to survive. After that, my father blamed me for being, and I quote, "such a cry baby" because I was too attached to Sally so Sally wasn’t able to help your mother. For a while I had believed that it was actually my fault, but 7mdlah now I know it wasn't my fault, hay ely Allah kan katbah. After a few years, you were about 3 years old, your mother decided to remove all of Nouf's pictures and anything that reminded her of Nouf because they didn't want you to know Nouf had ever existed. It was better for them if you didn't know. Noorah please don't tell them you know, please. I just thought you should find out now because maybe the nightmares will stop.

Noorah just hugged me ever so tightly with tears falling from her eyes. "Saif I love you so much!!! I know we don't have a brother/sister relationship bs wallah I do love and respect you!!! Wallah I would never tell mama and baba what you told me wallah!! Saif I love you!! You're the best big brother a girl can ask for!!!" Noorah said between sobs. I couldn’t help but hug her back. Yeah our relationship kinda sucked but still, she was an amazing sister.

I asked Noorah if she wanted me to stay home with her tonight but all she did was smile and shake her head. I told her she could call me at any time for any reason because I will always be there for her no matter what. I got a bag and filled it with clothes and laptop. Noorah walked me to the door and said she'll cover for me with the parents. I gave her a huge hug and walked out the gate.

I texted Jassim to come and get me and he said he'd be there in a few minutes. I decided to call Yasmeen because I honestly haven’t talked to her in a while thanks to my family drama. I really have been neglecting her bs I know she knows I love her.

*Phone call with Yasmeen*
Yasi: Aloo?
Saif: Its Aladdin, is Jasmine here?
Yasi: Saif!!! I miss you yal kalb!! Wallah boyfriend 3l fa'9i!! *sarcastically*
Saif: Affa!! You're my princess, Jasmine!! Wallah I know I've been neglecting you bs wallah you know I had to deal with the Noorah thing…

Yasi: 7abitk el 3afya *giggles* bye!
Saif: ana araweech! Bye
Yasi: hahahah a7bik! *closes phone*

I smiled to the phone and said "wallah ench mb sahla". I got into Jassim's Range Rover and we were off to bait 3amity.

-YASMEEN'S POV-
Saif. Wallah I love him. I should call Reem and tell her that he said he loved me! Oh… I forgot we weren’t talking. I was fed up weya this fight! Its non of my business who she chooses! I just missed her so much! The last time we talked was on Tuesday and that was when we had the fight! It was Thursday night and we STILL haven’t made up! I needed to call her! I was about to call Reem ela she called!

*Phone call with Reem*
Reem: YASMEEEENNN!!!!

Reem: okay Yasyoosty bye!
Yasi: *Laughing so hard* Yasyoosty? Chnah esm dyaya! Hahahahahahahah!!!
Reem: *laughing* chubb bye! *closes phone*

I ran downstairs still laughing about the 'Yasyoosty' thing! It was almost 7 PM so I had to hurry before it got late. "Mama, baba, t3rfoon shgad a7bkum?" I said, acting all cute when I arrived at the living room where my mother and father were watching the news. My parents gave each other a curious look. "Yasmina 7abebti shtabeen?" My father said with a chuckle. My parents always called me Yasmina; it was my special nickname. "Aby aroo7 Amwaj weya Reem bs bnt3asha w bnrd wallah pleaaaase???" I replied, with the cutest look I could come up with. "Bs bt3ashon w btrdoon? Ya3ni akeed btkooneen fel bait 3la 10 PM inshallah?" Dad said, giving me a stern look. "Akeeeed baba!! Pleaase can I go?" I replied, hopeful. "ee tgdreen, bs ana bag6ch. T7tajayn bayzat?" baba said. "Thank you baba!! Laa ma7taj shukran! Babriz in 15 minutes!" I replied while running upstairs. I bbmed Reem that I was going to come and told her to meet me there by 8. Now the only problem was what I would wear.

I opened up my closet and stared at it for about 3 minutes. I decided to wear light denim jeans with a plain, white top and a black blazer that had gold spike on the shoulders. I wore gold flats, a black, spiked, plastic Furla bag with winged eyeliner, mascara and maroon lipstick. I left my wavy hair down, as usual, and braided my bangs to one side. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror then ran downstairs to baba.

"Yah bnty! Sh'hal zain? Mashallah 3laych!" Baba said, his hands welcoming me in for a hug. I ran and hugged him and said "Aww baba love you!" "Love you too 7abebti, Yalla ntwakal?" he replied. "Yalla." And we were off to Amwaj.

-SAIF'S POV-
I was smiling the whole ride to bait 3ammity. I had an amazing sister, an amazing girlfriend and an amazing family.

"Weeh Saif bagoolk… Int bipolar?" Jassim said, bursting out in laughter.

I couldn’t help laughing myself! I don't blame him; he dropped me off while I was mad as f*ck and now I was on cloud 9!

"Hahahahahaha yal chalb Jassim! Laa mb bipolar!" I replied.

"3ayal madam mazajk a7san, shrayk enroo7 Amwaj? El 9ara7a fe wa7da aby achoofha bs knt bacansel 3ashank!" Jassim said, hesitantly.

"Hahahaha, 3alayna Jassom? Akeed 3ady Yalla 5lna enroo7!" I replied.

"9j Saif?! Wallah enk ta3jbny ya wld 5aly! Bs tra wallah hathy wa7da wayd 7abayt'ha! Int maga6 7abayt Saif?" Jassim said.

I felt like I could trust Jassim. He really was like an older brother to me. So I decided I was gonna tell him about Yasmeen.

"Emballah a7b… I have a girlfriend, esmha Yasmeen…" I told him everything. From the sandbox story till the phone call at the gate.

Jassim congratulate me and wished me the best with Yasmeen. We started talking about random facts from our lives and in 45 minutes we were in Amwaj. We started walking around, looking for a coffee shop or restaurant to sit in. We decided we'd go to Burger Lounge.

When we got to Burger Lounge, I saw my friend Khalid. He was with a girl that looked about our age; she had hazel eyes, curly, brown hair and a curved figure. I walked over to say hi but noticed Jassim wasn't moving from his place. I got to Khalid's table and said "Halla wallah khalood! Waynk hal ayam machoofk!" "Wallah ana mawjood bs t3arf since I changed schools 9a3ba achoofkm!" Khalid replied. The girl he was with looked nervous when she noticed I was with Jassim. I saw Jassim coming towards the table, looking like he was gonna explode.

"Yal chalb int! Shtsawy weya Jawaher?!" Jassim screamed.
"W mnn it 3shan tgooly mag3d weya Jawaher yal zag!" Khalid replied, furiously.
"Mnn ana?! Ana ely barabeek!!" Jassim said, about to hit Khalid.

I pulled Jassim to the side to try and calm him down. "Jassoom had a39abk!! Wallah elsalfa matswa!!" I said, trying to push Jassim away from Khalid. "Saif arjook hdny 3alayh! 5alny arabeeh! A7bha! Tfham shnw a7bha? Ya3ny aby atzawajha!" Jassim said. I felt like he was breaking inside. I really wanted to help him, and I really wanted to help Khalid. Khalid was an old friend from school, we used to hang out every day but since he transferred to another school I haven’t seen him much. "Choof Jassim, ana wayd a3zk int w Khalid, w wallah Khalid mb mnn elno3 ely beg9 3la ebnaya fa ymkn ehwa e7bha ba3ad, fa shrayk akalm Jawaher w achoof ehya mnn t5tar? Bs 3la shar6 enkm thanynakum tr'9on eb jawabha." I suggested. He just nodded so I signaled Khalid to come so I could tell him the plan. Khalid agreed but he told me I should ask Jawaher if she agrees to the plan.

I went over to the table and sat at Khalid's seat. "Jawaher? Ana Saif, inty tadreen ena Jassim w Khalid thnaynahum e7boonch 9a7? Inzain, ana e8tra7t 3layhum ena ana bakalmch w bachoof who you'd choose etha 3ady 3ndch…" I asked Jawaher. "Umm… okay… Shnw a7een elma6loob mny?" Jawaher replied, shyly. "Ma6loob mnch t5tarayn wa7d mnhum, y3ni either Khalid aw Jassim, w lazm tg63een el 9bay ely mat5tarayna. Please 76y fe balch ena they both love you fa please choose wisely." Jawaher just gave me a look… she was thinking about the guy she'd love and the guy she'd have to let go. "Inzain I choose…" Suddenly I saw Yasmeen coming into Burger Lounge. 

-YASMEEN'S POV-


Reem and I decided that we'd eat at burger Lounge because Johnny Rockets was crowded. Reem started telling me about how Faisal calls her his princess and I told her how Saif calls me Jasmine. When I walked into Burger Lounge I saw Saif with another girl. Our eyes locked and tears filled my eyes. I ran out of the restaurant and Saif followed me.
