I said it and I meant it, and I was right. Still, I wish I could take it back, because there's no way I can make it up to her, no way I can ever make her feel like she could look to me for help and support.

Her eyes well with unshed tears. They make her cocoa brown eyes red and puffy with my words filling the air between us.

How could you be so stupid?

What have you done to your life?

Summer turns and runs out of the room, the sound of sobs echoing down the hall to me. My twin sister and I had always been there for one another, ever the supporter to the other's misdeeds. But this had been too much.

After being away from each other for months during our first year at University, I was really looking forward to seeing her again and have a good Christmas together with our family. We've been back all of two hours and I already wish it was time to leave and go back to school. Summer's trust in me brought us to my old room so she could tell me something not even our parents knew. She told me she was about seven weeks pregnant and that she had eloped with the child's father. I hadn't even thought, my response was automatic.

I was that crazy one in high school. I was the one that was always in trouble, partying, out with boys, all while she was the anchor that kept me grounded, preventing anything overly bad from happening.

I shut my eyes and clench my jaw. I've really fucked up big this time. Making my way down the hall, I knock on the door of Summer's old room. "Summer, open up. I'm sorry about what I said."

I hear something shift behind the door and twist the knob, trying to open it. But it stays shut, she sat in front of the door. "Come on, Sums, you have to admit that you could've gone about telling me better. I wasn't prepared before, but I want to talk now..."

"Go away, Autumn."

"Not until you open this door and explain to me why it appears we've switched roles. I sure know that I didn't sign off on being that goody-two-shoes, but there can only be one twin causing trouble at a time and it seems that you've claimed that title." I hear Summer chuckle despite her tears and a moment later, the door opens to reveal a red-eyed, snotty-nosed version of myself.
