The house was quiet when I walked in, everybody had gone to sleep as it was already half passed nine.

I went straight upstairs to my room because I didn't want to take any chances of running into someone and to explain to them why I looked terrible or why I came home alone.

I was exhausted and wornout from the breakdown I had earlier and needed some time alone.

I was embarrassed, Wave got to see the broken side me, the side that I had not let anyone, apart from my father, see. God, I didn't even know how I'd face him at school on Monday without being awkward.

No matter how tired I was, I couldn't sleep, so I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and opened to play some music.

I found a lot of missed calls and messages all from my sister. I opened the messages and rolled my eyes at how she saved her number on my phone.

From Sweet twin sis❣️
Hey!! Where are you 8pm

Seriously I'm worried, pick up your phone 😕 8:30

Dude!! I'm calling 911😧 9:15

Ahhhh😩, Wave told me he dropped you off at home, I'll be there in a few minutes 9:25

I felt bad for making her worry so i sent her a message to ensure her that I was fine.

To sweet twin sis❣️
Okay you'll find me

A few minutes passed , then I heard the front door open and close signaling that Evie had returned home.

I rushed to my bathroom and fixed my face and went back to sit on my bed before she could come in . I heard a soft knock on my door. " come in." I softly said. Evie came in right after and rushed to give me a hug. " I thought you had gotten kidnapped." She said, and I noticed that she had tears in her eyes. " Are you crying." I asked while I stroked her back softly. She sniffed and said," I thought I lost you Sky." Tears rolled down her face.

"We've been away from each other for a very long time and I c-c-can't loose you again." She whispered again After a few seconds of silence, " I'm scared to lose you Sky, I love you so much." I was taken aback for a moment, her words kept ringing in my ears, " I'm scared to lose you Sky, I love you.

" She loved me?. I couldn't hold myself and spoke up, " then why...?" She sat up so that she was facing me. " why did you not visit me." I continued. " I..." she sobbed even more " I didn't know were you lived sky, mom never talked about you or our father.

I tried asking her but it looked like the topic was too heavy for her to talk about."
" too heavy for her to talked about?" I said, anger slowly rising inside of me.

"Does she hate me so much that she never once checked if I was doing okay, or if I was eating well or doing well at school_" I was crying hard at that point.

All my pent up emotions seemed to flow out with no control at all.

" Sky mom loves you so much okay, she was also hurting inside having to stay away from you."
"Don't lie to me Evie, she doesn't love me. I don't even want her to love me because -"
"Stop it Sky, please. Let's not talk about that anymore. You will get to resolve your issues with her. Right now I just want you to talk to me, I want to get to know you Sky." Evie said to me seemingly tired of both of our outbursts. " I know I sound selfish, but let's not talk about mom now."

I stood up and started pacing around with frustration. Evie reached for my hand and sat me down my bed again and gave me a pointed look.

I groaned and finally gave in to what she wanted. " Sigh. what do you want to know about me." "Everything, she said with a small smile."

We talked about a lot of things, I came to know that Angela had been married to Gerald since Evie was 3 years old, So Gerald practically raised her, that's why she referred to him as dad.

She also told me about stories of her childhood, a time when some kids at school were bullying her and Gerald went over to her school at gave the bullies a piece of his mind.

She also told me how he loved her and how he always treated her like his real daughter. I was envious of her happy childhood, but I was also relieved to know that I had someone who loved me.

I, on the other hand didn't say anything the whole time, i just let her talk until at one point she turned to me and asked, " how was he like?" She asked. " who?" I tensely asked even though I knew who she was asking about. " our father, how was he like?"

She asked this time looking me straight in the eyes with curiosity. I swallowed hard and looked away then said , " he was great." And left it at that. "That's it, you are not going to say more?" She asked with a raised brow. "I'll tell you about h-him another time." I said nervously.

"ohh I'm so sorry, I'm so dumb, I just had to ruin the moment." She signed." It must be hard on you to lose someone who raised you." She gave me a pitied look.
I was relieved she dropped the topic , and confused my distress for grief , the last thing I wanted was for her to know that her father was a toxic abusive man, because she seemed fond of him for some reason .

"How come you never look me in the eyes when we are talking?" She suddenly asked. Of course she noticed. Evie was very observant.

" I just don't look people in the eyes when talking to them, it's an old habit of mine." I said and shrugged. " you are weird." She pointed out while chuckling.

I Playfully pushed her off my bed and she landed on her ass. She got up and screamed " motherfucker !!" and chased me around the room throwing pillows at me.

We played around and laughed until we got tired.
"So, Lizzy likes you." She said grinning at me. "I can't date her." I said. " why not? She's good looking." She said looking confused. " I'm gay." I said matter-of-factly.

Her eyes went wide with shock. She stayed silent for what seemed like hours. "What's wrong with her, is she homophobic?" I thought to myself. " is she going to hate me now?" I sadly thought.

"Evi-" she hugged me before I could finish speaking. " I'm glad you told me." She said sincerely. I was relieved, I didn't want the only person who seemed to care about me to hate me.

"Sigh. I thought you were going to hate me? I said in a small voice, but she heard me and said, "I can't hate you Sky, you are my twin brother." I relaxed and released a breathe I didn't even know I was holding.

" No one in this house will mind that you are gay because we are all open minded people, plus mom's brother came out some years back and he is now married to his husband. You will get to meet him soon, He always visits during thanksgiving." She said all at once. I didn't care about anyone else accepting me, as long as she accepted me.

"I'm hungry, wanna go downstairs to grab some food?" She questioned me . I just shrugged, "lead the way sis." She grinned and started for the door.

" it's good that you told me now because I was going to play cupid for you and Lizzy." She said with a hint of amusement in her voice. I just chuckled and we both headed downstairs to the kitchen.
