Since everyone seems to hate this series, this will be the final chapter.
Also, if you have any story suggestions – incest; brother and sister, preferably – let me know.

Honey awoke the next morning to the sun shining in the window. She was lying entwined with her brother and her head was throbbing. She groaned, rubbing her forehead. Hangovers were the worst. Honey's brother was still out cold, right beside her.
She looked down at her brother, confused. Then bits of pieces of her memory began to come back; drinking, Jack cheating, almost being raped. "Oh, God." She groaned again. "Oh damn."
This woke Adam. "Honey?" he said, with a yawn. Honey cleared her throat, and fell back onto the pillow. She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry," she sighed, throwing her arms over her eyes.
Adam was silent for a moment. "Me too." He said softly. She lifted an arm to look at him. "For?"
"Couple days ago... getting mad about what you said..." he explained.
"Oh, that." she said. "It's okay."
"No, it's really not. It was way outta line. I overreacted a lot and I really am truly sorry. You know I would never hurt you." He continued.
"Yeah, I know you wouldn't." She said. "I'm sorry to. I just got so mad when I saw Jack with that girl. I drank a lot... more than usual. I don't even know why I got into that car with that guy... he seemed so nice..." Honey trailed off.
"You were drunk." He stated.
"Yeah, I know... but still. Thank God I got out." She said, relieved about that much, at least.
Adam nodded, in agreement. "I'm still going to fucking kill him." Adam told her. "Do you remember who did it?"
"I think his name was Scott." Honey said, after some thought.
"Scott?" Adam asked. "What did he look like?"
"Cute. Brown hair. Tall. Brown eyes. Really good at mixing drinks?" Honey shrugged, trying to recall what the young man had looked like.
"Scott Baker. I'm going to kill him," Adam said again, shaking his head with a glare. His facial expression suddenly changed. "But are you okay?" he asked, his face softening.
"I just have a headache." Honey said. "And my back hurts for some reason." She shrugged. "Otherwise, I'm good." She just wanted to forget everything that happened. It was a nightmare. "I just want to forget about it." Honey said. "I'm going to take a shower."
With that, she got up and headed into the bathroom. She popped two Tylenol and stepped into the warm shower, letting the water soothe her body which was aching.
Meanwhile, Adam dressed and went into the kitchen to make some food. He still felt terribly bad about what had happened to Honey; both what he did and the prior night's events.
When Honey was finished, she put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Then she went to the kitchen.
As Honey walked toward him, Adam bit his lip. Even though she was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt she looked so damned sexy. Her damp hair was hanging in tousles around her petite face and her soft green eyes.
Honey glanced up to see her brother staring at her and gave him a peculiar look. "What?" she asked. He shook his head, and turned his attention back to the frozen pizza he was putting into the oven.
"So you forgive me?" Adam asked suddenly, with a hopeful tone to his voice. A small smile appeared on Honey's face for the first time since the party.
"Hmm, I don't know." She said, her voice sounding slightly playful. Honey had given up. She didn't want to remember anything about last night; about Adam getting angry at her; or her mother. She just wanted to have a good day and that was exactly what she intended on doing.
Adam sat at the table across from her. "You don't know?" He questioned, appearing surprised.
"Yeah, I dunno if I can forgive you. You scared the shit out of me," Honey half-lied, trying to sound serious. It had happened so quickly, Honey was stunned but she had a feeling he wouldn't have hurt her. Regardless what either of them said or did, Honey knew they would always be there for each other even though sometimes it seemed like they despised each other.
Plus, Honey was a rather forgiving person. She knew she shouldn't have said what she said, anyway. It was a low blow.
"I did?" Adam asked, raising an eyebrow at his younger sister. "I am so sorry, Honey Bun." He apologized again. "I was in a bad mood and then I just totally lost it. I promise you. It'll never ever happen again." He told her sincerely.
No answer.
"Honey?" Adam said, looking at her. She glanced up at her big brother and chuckled a bit. "It's okay. Let's put it behind us. I won't say anymore bitchy things... and you won't... well you won't do any more douchey things." Honey smiled at him.
Adam began to laugh. "Agreed."
The siblings were silent for awhile until the alarm went off signaling the pizza was done. Adam took it out and got two plates.
"You know, contrary to what you may think, I do love you." Adam said slowly, eyes on his pizza.
Honey looked up at her brother, surprised yet again at what he had said. She just stared at him, wordlessly and with a blank expression.
"Really, Honey Bun. I know I am sometimes a dick. I know you get sick of Mom for always comparing you to me and I'm sorry. And I know we don't always get along that well. But I really am sorry." Adam said, with pauses in between as he tried to collect his thoughts.
Again, Honey just stared at her brother. She couldn't recall a time he had ever said anything nice to her.
"Say something?" Adam said weakly. Her silence was killing him.
"I'm just... surprised." Honey said carefully. "I don't think you've ever said anything like that to me."
