Cliff walked down the stairs and saw Missy standing in the living room, practicing her routines. He mocked her, imitated her dance until he finally got her attention.

"Bite me." She stared at him in disgust.

"You know in your head, the cheering thing really sharpened your verbal skills huh?" He replied in response.

"Screw you."

"Sis, the cheerleader." He walked towards her, still half-mocking her moves.

"That's right, I am a cheerleader and you're an dumb ass." Missy moved up so that she came face-to-face with him.

"Torrance likes you, okay? She likes you." Her voice cracked a little, it was evident that she had a thing for Torrance herself.

"She has an obvious way of showing it." He scoffed.

"Don't be stupid, she broke up with her boyfriend for YOU." Missy said, trying to hide her jealousy. She only wanted the best for Torrance.

"Yeah right." Cliff said coldly as if he knew something else.

"Look, do all of *us* a favor and get over yourself, and tell her how you feel."

She knew she had no chance with Torrance even though Torrance was everything she had ever wanted. When it came to it all, she knew Torrance liked Cliff, or at least showed more interest in him than she ever did in her.

"No Sis, listen to *me*. Do *us* a favor and tell her how *you* feel." He raised his voice at her.

Cliff tensed up a little to stay in control as he tried to contain all the hurt he was feeling. He was no dumb ass, he knew who Torrance wanted. Well, maybe he was dumb. Torrance said it herself that she liked Missy when he finally worked up the courage to tell her. It was a great way to let someone down, just tell them that you're gay.

Missy stood there, completely speechless. She had a stoned expression on her face. "...What?" That was all she was able to choke out.

"I said you should go and tell her how you feel," he yelled, "Jesus, she likes *you* okay? Not *me*! She wants *you*!!"

Cliff let this emotion slip out of hand. He couldn't take it anymore; the thought of losing Torrance to his sister out of all the people in the world was enough to drive him crazy. With that he left, slamming the door behind him, leaving Missy alone with all kinds of thoughts spinning in her head.

"Hey!" Torrance said to Cliff as she walked up the steps. She saw Cliff slamming the door. She could tell that he was angry.

But Cliff didn't say anything.

"Hey, Cliff. Is everything okay?" She asked again. And again he ignored her question and walked by her. Torrance was in absolute confusion. She watched as Cliff continued his way down the street and disappeared into the corner. Shaking her head once again as she attempted to figure out the situation. It was no use; she had no idea what was going. So she gave up and knocked on the door, hoping that Missy could tell her the answer.

***

Missy finally snapped out of this day dreaming phase of hers when she heard someone knocking at the door. She made her way over, thinking that Cliff probably had more to say.

She reached for the golden knob and turning it, she opened the door, only to find herself paralyzed at the sight of Torrance standing in front of her.

"Is this a bad time?" Torrance said when she saw Missy's face.

"Umm...No, not at all. Come in."
