Felix Sibling Novels & Stories

Sent back… The words bounced around inside my head for a few moments, unable to find a place to settle. The AI brother who had walked into my home when I was 14—stealing my bedroom, my place in the family, and everything that was mine—had just been sent back. Like a defective piece of merchandise, he was packed into a box, slapped with a return label, and shipped right back to the factory. Sapphire walked over to my bedside. Her steps were heavy, as if her legs were weighted with lead. She stood there for a moment, then suddenly collapsed into a crouch, burying her face in her hands.

Max mutters, but he scoots closer too, pressing his head against my cheek so he can fit into the frame. I hit the video call button. The screen flips to my little sister’s face: black wavy hair piled into a lazy bun, red lipstick, oversized T-shirt. Behind her I catch a glimpse of the living room back home in Medellín: gray sofa, big plant, and something moving in the corner of the frame… oh, Mamá. “¡Mis amores!” Fiona’s voice jumps an octave the moment she sees Max and Issa. “MIRA, GEMELITOS!”

he answers after a moment. A chill races down my spine. I really have been down here for a long time, but that’s not what upsets me the most. August seventh is… “It’s my birthday,” I mumble quietly to myself. The confession almost makes me cry, a sudden wave of homesickness threatening to pull me under. I think about my siblings at home; my twin’s sister, Alessandra, and my little brother, Jovito, and eldest Alexander Oliver. I think about Mom and Dad, all my aunts and uncles and cousins. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always spent my birthday with them, surrounded by their love, laughter, and smiles. I worry about Alessandra, specifically. She’s my closest sister, my closest confidant,

Felix saw her knock the folders to the floor and hurried over to assist her in gathering them. Moving closer to them, Leo saw Ellen look at Felix and heard her ask him, "What are you doing here?" As they stood up from packing all the folders, Leo asked them, "Do you know each other?" "Yes, Leo, I know her," Felix answered Leo as he smiled at Ellen. "We meet again," Felix said to Ellen as he extended his hand in a shake to introduce himself. "Hi, I’m Felix, Leo’s cousin."

“I hate myself.” “Don’t hate yourself. Love it just like how much we love you.” Felix wrapped his arms around me. “You’re right. The truth lies here. Mom and Dad have a reason why they wanted us to stay here.” I let myself drown in his perfume and presence. I also hugged him back. We’re the best siblings in the whole world. “Have you guys forgotten about me? I’m also you brother.” Jay pointed himself. Felix chuckled and harassed us. I hug both of them. My brothers. The best men in my life.

Some locals would even describe them as rascals - but purely as a term of endearment. Sebastian was the eldest of the two by 7 minutes and he was known to his nearest and dearest as Seb. His hair was a beautiful shade of honey blonde with piercing green eyes that always seemed too old for his years. He was always a deep thinker with quiet confidence to match - some would even describe him as brooding. William or Will, on the other hand, was the polar opposite of his brother in personality. He shared the same beautiful shade of hair, but his eyes were a deep shade of blue that radiated a constant look of mischief. He was outgoing, flirtatious, and carefree.

"She cares about looking her best, and she's not getting outshone on a day like this. You're not going to say no to something that simple, are you?" I gave a helpless smile. Before the Ledgers adopted Winnie, Felix only had eyes for me. He was a straight-A bookworm, earnest to a fault, and he blushed every time he saw me. When Raphael and other spoiled heirs tried to mess with me, Felix was the one who stepped in. Raphael mocked him for years as "Felix the simp", but Felix couldn't care less. Then Winnie showed up, sugar-sweet on the surface and always whispering in his ear. Little by little, I turned into the calculating villain in his head, someone he learned to hate.

I can see that she had placed her hand out to push mine back, her body knocked to the ground as both my parents tried to pull me back. Felix remains between the two of us, his hands still gripping around my hand trying to pry my fingers off her. “Who is this?” I pant out, my eyes fixed on Felix. “She’s my sister.” Sister, this is his other sister. Why the fuck was she here, and why now. “Why are you here?” I growl out, my jaw tense as the taste of blood lingers on my tongue…I had

I always made sure to cheer her up and told her how beautiful and strong she was and I loved her very much, Nicholas also played the role of an elder brother to her and made her feel loved. I was done with high school and according to the plans I had with my best friend Nicholas, we were supposed to leave home and the town to the city to fend for ourselves and eventually go to college.
