AN: I'm writing this mostly for my sister who wanted me to put this up, I'm not sure how long this story is gonna be, it all depends on the response. But I do have the last chapter planned...
It all started as a normal day, but the normalness didn't last very long, if you're wondering why it wasn't a normal day, I'll let you know, it was a single event, one thing that made the normalness fade.
I found my sister's diary, in it a precious secret. One that changed my feelings too.
She liked me, she went on to explain how wrong it felt, yet how at the same time, it felt so right. I remembered everything down to the date: December 14, 2008.
I saw her in a completely different way, I didn't try to ignore my feelings, but maybe I should have. I may have saved myself if I did.
I tried to pretend I didn't know anything, but I couldn't, I realized how everything she did made sense.
I wanted her to admit it, but I knew she wouldn't do that, I just found out, she didn't even know I knew. "I guess I'll have to make the first move."
My dad gave me a weird look, knowing I was with Miranda. But I shrugged it off. I just focused on my feelings.
Things had changed, Alex went from hating me to blushing when I touched her hand, whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, I didn't know. But I did know that if this was well-known in the family, things would never be normal again.
But normal in a family of wizards is impossible. This was as normal as we were ever going to get. Was there something else about being a wizard that had to do with liking siblings?
I've kissed Miranda a few times, but I wonder what it would be like to kiss my sister. After all, Alex was the one who was completely convinced that I only went out with Miranda because she looked like her.
I wish I knew how to explain everything to her. It'll happen, but only if I have the guts to say it.
I guess everyone has a dream that they don't think they'll reach. But I may be one of the lucky ones.
I keep thinking of that diary entry, it said:
I like my brother; after spending months trying to figure out my feelings, this is my conclusion.
I would give up anything just to know if he feels the same way. But I'm too shy to ask him myself.
I blushed when he touched my hand. I don't remember a time when I've ever done that. But I love Justin.

I keep these words in my mind at all times, I'll never forget them. But in the future would this just be 'the time I had a crush on my sister'?
I had an advantage being her brother, I knew more about her than I normally would have, I knew some of her secrets, some that she'd rather me not know. But I knew she liked me, that was one secret that might actually mean something.
And hopefully today was the last day she'd be in the dark.
I wasn't in the dark, the only thing I didn't know was what was going to happen when I tell her I like her. It might just be something small like beginning to hold hands and constantly smiling at each other. But it could end up going further than that.
I just knew I had to tell her, explain what happened. Or simply let her come to the conclusion that Cupid has his own ways of working, which is true. I never would have touched her diary, let a lone read it, without his interference.
I was shedding tears
And lying awake
I'm thinking you're not that far away
