• Chapter 4


    "How would I be your twin?" I asked, really wanting to know. I was so confused at the moment. "You'll find out soon enough." She said and then smiled a little testing smile. "Why wont you tell me anything?" I asked, almost yelled. I was just getting more and more confused by the minute,and she wasn't telling me anything. The only thing she had told me was that we were twins. And why would I really trust her? I just met her. I mean, just because we look totally alike, and dress the same way and have the same looking room, doesn't mean that I have to believe her. "Don't worry. You will find out, and soon. But when you do, you'll wish you never found out. You'll wish that you had never asked any of these questions. You'll wish that you had never met me. You'll wish that you never ran out into the middle of the road without looking. You'll wish you can just turn back time till when mommy died. So don't keep asking questions. Because when you do find out you'll wish all those things that I said." I shook my head and said, "How would you know what I wish for and what I don't?" I looked up at her and she smiled a teasing smile. "I already told you," She paused and smiled her teasing smile again. "Were twins." "So you say. Why should I even believe you? I mean I just met you and your already telling me that were twins. I mean, come on! Just cause we look so alike, dress the same way, and have the same looking room, does not mean that were twins." Abby looked away and looked like she was about to laugh out loud. I'm happy she didn't because I was getting mad at her. Why wouldn't she tell me anything? She looked at me again and her face was composed again. "I can prove that were twins." She said simply. How could she do that? Well only one way to find out. "How?" She smiled. She was liking this way more then I was. "Ask me anything." What did she mean by anything? Like I said, we just met, so how would she know anything about me? Whatever, ill ask her this, "When was I born?" She didn't even think about it she just said, "October 31 2003." Wow! She was right! But, but how did she know that!? I know, she must have saw it on the news. My birth was on the news because of my dad. That was the only thing he had done for me. That and let me stay in the house. "You could have saw that on t.v." She almost laughed again and the said, "Ask me something else then." Hummmm, I had to think about something good. Something she would never guess. But what...? I know! "Where is my birth mark and what does it look like?" Again she didn't even pause she said right away, "On your left leg and its in the shape of a little music note and then also a heart is beside it." Wow! I knew they had never said that on the news! How did she get that though!? I mean just because she says were twins does not mean she could know anything about me. How did she know? "How did you know that? I mean even if you were my twin, than how would you still know that?" She looked away as if to hide something. I was about to ask her again but her mom walked in with the food and said, "Here." I looked down at the food that Sarah had brought in for me. It was rice and hot dogs. It looked good. Really good. Well anything at the moment would look good. I didn't have any dinner yesterday...because of what had happened...And I hadn't had any thing to eat today too. I started to eat and when I was done I looked up and said, "Thank you for the food." She looked up at me from looking at her daughter and smiled and said, "Thank you for talking. And your welcome after all you are kinda like my daugh_" Abby cut her off by giving her a looked that I thought kinda said, "Don't say anything, not yet." Because when Sarah didn't say anything else and nodded her head and then said, "I think it's time to take you home." Those words made me mad and sad at the same time. I didn't want to go home. But what could I do? It's not like I could make her let me stay here. She saw that my smile had left my face and I felt near to tears again. I didn't ever want to go home. There it reminded me of mommy. And I didn't want that. At least not right now. But I couldn't do anything about that so I said, "Ok." In a very sad voice. I got up and walked to her. But before I could leave Abby took my hand and smiled and put something into my hand without her mom seeing. She then hugged me and said, "Good bye. We'll see you soon." What could she be talking about now? As I went down the stairs I looked back at her and saw that she was going to her moms room. Right before I got out the door I looked back one last time and she was near the stairs looking at me. She slowly smiled and waved bye. I left the house for what would be the last time. I think?
