"What in the..?" Jonah muttered as soon as he had dried out after a shower, "Oliver!"

He walked to the sleeping area to see the rest of his friends feeling their skin and frowning at the stickiness and that's when he figured it out what was going on after he had done it to his father's boyfriend. He ran back to the showers pulling one of the plastic chairs over then got on top of it removing the shower head, he narrowed his eyes as soon as the small pieces of Jolly Ranchers fell down to the tile floor.

"What's going on?" Oliver asked, Mason and Carter following after him.

"This isn't over, they're gonna pay." Jonah said then started cleaning out the shower heads with the intention of showering again.

Jonah spent all night planning his next ultimate prank and by the next morning during breakfast he was still debating on what to do. He ate in complete silence and when they were told they could have free time until lunch he spent it alone kicking a ball out in the fields having left his friends back in their cabin.

Elijah walked around until he found a place to sit and sat down under a tree still a little fidgety after the itching powder prank, he sighed then started reading one of the newest comics his uncle Zayn had given him and so far it was great. When reading he tended to disconnect from the world and focus entirely in whatever he was reading and that's how he never noticed the ball coming his way or the boy shouting at him to duck. The ball landed on his lap snapping him out of his own little secret world startling him as he looked around with wide eyes.

"I am so sorry. Are you okay?" A voice asked him and when he looked up he had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. 

"I- what?" Elijah muttered looking at him from head to toe.

"Oh my god, oh my god." Jonah's eyes widened in sheer terror when he saw the face of the boy he had just hit with his ball.

"You-" Elijah started but was interrupted by Jonah.

"Please don't tell me you're the robot dad's boyfriend said was going to get me, oh my god is this about the itching powder I put in his fancy clothes and then the clothes of cabin four isn't it. Please don't annihilate me, I don't want to die. I'm too young!" Jonah started freaking out and when Elijah got up and took a step forward he screamed bloody murder and ran away leaving his football behind.

"Wait! You left your football." Elijah shouted and for some unknown reason he took off running after him.

"Leave me alone!" Jonah screamed when he noticed the assassin robot look alike was chasing him.

"I'm not a robot, I'm Elijah!" Elijah continued chasing after him unable to stop on time when Jonah did and turned around ready to face him and fight for his life.

Elijah collided against Jonah sending them backwards landing on their bums while they stared at each other unable to take their eyes off of each other. The only difference between the two was Jonah's hair over his forehead and Elijah's hair pulled back. Jonah was wearing a light blue shirt with basketball shorts while Elijah had on a white shirt and a pair of cargo shorts.

"I said I was sorry!" Jonah exclaimed and just like that got up and ran away from there taking his football with him.

Elijah stayed on the ground then got up going back to retrieve his comic determined to find out why the hell was there another him walking around camp. He made his way back to the cabins looking for him and after a few minutes he gave up for the day.

"Hey Jonah!" 

Someone screamed while Elijah looked around then started getting nervous when three boys started making their way over to him calling him Jonah.

"Styles! What's wrong, when did you change clothes?" One of them asked eyeing him up and down.

"I didn't..." Elijah looked down at his clothes then back at the three boys.

"Whatever, we're going to the cafeteria to get lunch. We'll wait for you there." Another one said and when they finally left he relaxed.

He walked to his cabin putting his comic back into his bag then made his way to the cafeteria taking a seat in between Aaron and Ryker. The whole time he couldn't stop looking around searching for him, searching for the Jonah Styles that just happened to be identical to him.

~*~

"Why did you change your clothes again?" Oliver asked Jonah as soon as the still shaky boy took a seat in between him and Mason.

"What?" Jonah gave him a confused look.

"You were wearing a white shirt...and you were holding a comic. I didn't know you were into comics." Carter said.

"You guys saw him too!? I'm not going crazy...we all are." Jonah started freaking out, "He's gonna wipe us all out of this planet and I'm never gonna see my dad again."

"What are you talking about?" Oliver placed his hand on Jonah's forehead just like his mum would do whenever he was sick.

"I ran into this kid that looked exactly like me, he was wearing a white shirt." Jonah explained as he looked around then gasped trying to hide behind Mason when he finally saw him sitting on the table for cabin four.

"You're freaking me out." Mason tried to shake his hand away from where Jonah was pulling on his shirt.

"To the left." Was all Jonah said knowing they had seen him when all three boys gasped.

"You have a brother...a twin brother and you never told us about him. How rude Jonah." Oliver shook his head in mock disappointment.

"I don't even know who he is, he just popped out of nowhere and I don't have any brothers. I'm an only child." Jonah carefully made his way back to his seat.

"Well now you do." Mason shrugged going back to his food.

"Dad never said anything about brothers or sisters." Jonah insisted.

"Look at it this way," Oliver started, "If you've never met him its because maybe he lives with your other dad? You want to know about your other dad so go ask him." 

"My cousins are twin brothers too." Mason said.

"I don't know...I think its best if I stay away from him." Jonah sighed chewing on his bottom lip, he was afraid of finding out things about his other parent.

"Up to you." Oliver shrugged.

Jonah looked around nervously then ate his food as fast as he could leaving soon after to his cabin. When he got there he grabbed his biggest suitcase from under his bed and opened it before he started looking around. He finally found what he was looking for and as soon as he had the pictures in his hands he searched for the one torn in half. It was a picture that according to his dad had been taken when he had gotten married to his other father and they were having their first dance. He smiled when he remembered his dad telling him he had absolutely refused to have it taken below the chest since he had been pregnant with him, a discussion that had led to the topic on how babies were made.

He looked at it tracing his features with his index finger wondering if the father he had never met before had the other half. He put the rest of the pictures back except for the one he was holding and after putting everything back in its place he walked outside looking for him. He had been looking for what felt like eternity when he spotted him sitting on the steps outside his cabin with one of his friends, he waited until he left leaving him alone then made his way over.

His hands were shaking and he felt like the picture was burning a hole where he had hidden it underneath his shirt the closer he got until he saw him getting up. He broke into a run and followed him behind the cabin where he stopped as soon as he did and almost stopped breathing when he turned around looking right back at him with wide green eyes just like his own. They stared at each other until Jonah gathered enough courage and took a step forward while Elijah stayed rooted to his spot unable to move.

"Who- Who are you?" Jonah's voice trembled stopping right in front of him.

"Elijah...I'm Elijah." He said and frowned when Jonah poked his chest then his cheek trying to see if he was really human.

"Elijah what?" Jonah asked then started walking in circles around Elijah going as far as touching his hair to see if it was made of synthetic material like he assumed robot's hair was made of.

"Uh...what?" Elijah frowned once again.

"I'm Jonah Styles, what's your full name?" Jonah stopped in front of him getting desperate.

"Tomlinson, Elijah Tomlinson."

"Do you have a mom?"

"I don't have a mum."

"Why do you talk like that? My dad talks like you, I talk like that too but I can do american accent...I like it better." Jonah shrugged as he started getting comfortable around him not really knowing why.

"Your dad? Do you have a mum?" Elijah asked following him when Jonah walked towards a tree then sat down under its shade.

"I don't have a mum." Jonah said then smirked when Elijah took a step back when he ditched his american accent.

"I- I have to go." Elijah stuttered getting ready to make a run for it and hide somewhere hopefully until camp was over and he was allowed to go back home.

"Wait!" Jonah was fast to get up then his expression softened when he noticed how truly frightened his clone was, "I just want to know something."

When Elijah stayed in his place Jonah slowly brought out the ripped picture only to have it snatched away by Elijah who was looking at it with wide eyes.

"Why do you have this? Who gave this to you? This is my dad, why do you have a picture of my dad?" Elijah fired question after question and when Jonah tried to get it back he hid it behind his back.

"That's my dad, my other dad gave it to me now give it. Give it back!" Jonah tried to take it away from him getting angry when Elijah took off running with it.

He chased him all the way to his cabin stopping at the foot of his bed when Elijah dropped to his knees and pulled out one of his bags then a book. He watched him as he looked through a few pictures until he stopped then turned to face him holding the half of a ripped picture in his other hand.

"This is my dad, I live with him." Elijah showed him the picture Harry had given Jonah that he always carried with him then looked at the other one he had just taken out of his bag. "And this is a picture of my other dad, my dad gave it to me a long time ago when I asked him about him."

"That's my dad, I live with him." Jonah stared at both pictures then took the one that belonged to him when Elijah offered it to him.

Jonah took a seat on Elijah's bed staring at the picture he was holding knowing that if they were to put those pictures together they would fit perfectly. And that's what they did, they fit perfectly finally completing the missing puzzle piece. They finally got to see how they had looked at each other when they had just gotten married and were still too young, too young but in love.

"He never told me about you." Elijah mumbled feeling completely hurt, the emotions getting to him and that time he didn't know how to control them, "He's a liar, he lied to me. And he says lying is bad."

"My dad's a liar too." Jonah scoffed getting worried when he heard his brother sniffling, "Hey, don't- don't cry."

"I bet uncle Zayn lied too, they're all liars." Elijah took a deep breath.

"Yeah...but now you have me and I'm never gonna lie to you." Jonah got up to stand in front of him just as Elijah did.

It took them a few seconds but soon Elijah had his arms wrapped around Jonah who awkwardly stood there not knowing what to do until he slowly wrapped his arms around him too. For some reason he felt his eyes stinging the moment Elijah hooked his chin over his shoulder and tightened his grip around him. When Elijah finally let go Jonah was quick to wipe a stray tear away then looked back at his twin who was looking at him with a worried expression.

"Are you crying?" Elijah asked knowing it sometimes happened and it was okay remembering his dad telling him so.

"No, its just dirt." Jonah muttered.

"Its okay to cry, my dad says it happens." Elijah shrugged earning a small smile from Jonah who nodded.

"What is he like?" Jonah sat down on the floor followed by Elijah then spotted the bag of chocolates and grabbed it opening it to eat them without asking.

"Well...what is he like?" Elijah asked wanting to know everything there was to know about his father not even bothered in the slightest that Jonah was eating all his chocolate, he had another bag full of them plus one with skittles and another with starbursts.

"You have to tell me first, I asked first." Jonah said through a mouthful of chocolates.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything."

"Okay...he's nice and likes to give hugs, like really really likes it, oh and kisses your cheeks a lot too." Elijah sighed.

"My dad liked to give hugs too but not anymore because he's too busy working, he's a lawyer." Jonah shrugged.

"My dad designs clothes, he's a fashion designer for men and women and uncle Zayn models his clothes, he lives next door to us." Elijah said then started looking for a recent picture giving it to his brother as soon as he found it.

"Oh my god! This is uncle Zayn?" Jonah pointed at Zayn who was standing next to Louis and Elijah was in front of Louis with his dad's arms wrapped around him.

"Yeah, it was taken a few days ago."

"Get out! Aunt Perrie's gonna flip when she finds out he's our uncle. Is he dad's brother?" Jonah asked shoving more chocolate into his mouth.

"Why? Who's aunt Perrie, is she dad's sister? And uncle Zayn is just dad's best mate and he's my uncle because he's always been there and he's awesome." Elijah said grabbing a few chocolates

"She's dad's friend and works for him because she's a lawyer too and she's obsessed with uncle Zayn. So dad doesn't have any sisters or brothers?" Jonah asked moving onto the skittles.

"He does have four sisters but he never sees them because his parents moved away, I don't have any grandparents so its just dad and uncle Zayn." Elijah shrugged looking down at the bag of skittles.

"You do have grandparents silly, you have nana Anne and grandpa Robin plus grandpa Des and his wife Kathy. Des and Anne are dad's real parents but they got divorced and nana Anne married grandpa Robin and grandpa Des married Kathy but I don't call her grandma, just Kathy or KathyLee." Jonah explained.

"That's a lot of grandparents." Elijah's eyes widened.

"And we have two more uncles and three aunts...come with me and I'll show them to you and bring your pictures." Jonah got up hugging the bag of chocolates close to his chest, "Can I take these? I'm not gonna eat them all."

"You can have them, I like starbursts better." Elijah smiled up at him as he gathered the two pictures he had with him.

"Yes! Lets go, I have so much to tell you." Jonah started walking next to Elijah as soon as he was ready.

They walked side by side towards Jonah's cabin getting weird looks on their way there and as soon as they were there Jonah rushed to get his pictures then took a seat on his bed patting the spot in front of him for Elijah to sit on. He scattered the pictures in between them and started telling him all about his, now their family just wanting his brother to get to know them.

He told him how their uncles Niall and Liam were adopted and were now married to their aunts Barbara and Sophia while their aunt Gemma who was actually their dad's sister was married to their uncle Richard and had a one year old baby boy named Kyle. Liam and Sophia had Bryan who was eight years old and Niall and Barbara had Lily who was only three years old and was his favorite cousin because she was cute and adorable.

"And this is Cocoa, he's a golden retriever and dad got him when he was still a puppy." Jonah explained showing him the picture of his beloved dog.

"I've always wanted a dog but they aren't allowed where we live. Dad says one day we might move into a house and he'll get me one." Elijah said.

"Well he can be your dog too. Now you need to tell me about dad and uncle Zayn. Is uncle Zayn married? Aunt Perrie would like to know." Jonah asked casually placing his hand under his chin giving him all his attention.

"Uncle Zayn had a girlfriend but broke up with her and now he's single and dad is working on his next clothing line...I think he misses dad. Do you think dad misses him too?" Elijah asked fiddling with his fingers then frowned when Jonah scratched the back of his head looking angry out of nowhere.

"I...dad has a boyfriend." Jonah said putting the pictures away, "He's been dating this mean ogre called Nick, I don't like him...no one does."

"Oh," Elijah mumbled looking around then slowly got up when he heard the bell, "I should go, I have to take a shower."

"Okay. I'll see you later, right? We can spend time together on our free time." Jonah gave him a hopeful look smiling when Elijah nodded.

They went their separate ways after promising to see each other again the next day and that night both of them went to bed with big smiles on their faces still in awe at the fact that they were brothers and twins which was still a bit weird. The next day they kept making funny faces at each other from across the cafeteria until they were forced to go their separate ways. 

By their mid afternoon free time Jonah made his way towards Elijah's cabin walking in as if he owned the place seeing Elijah sitting on the floor in the middle of the room playing poker with three other boys. He smirked when they looked at him then at Elijah with wide eyes until he cleared his throat and took a seat next to his brother.

"Hi! I'm Jonah, I'm Eli's brother." Jonah introduced himself.

"These are my friends, Aaron, Justin and Ryker." Elijah introduced them wanting them to get along.

"Hi!" Aaron smiled, "Why didn't you tell us you had a brother? What cabin are you staying in?"

"Cabin one." Jonah answered.

"So you were the one who pranked us, you pranked your own brother." Justin raised his eyebrows.

"It sucked by the way." Ryker said.

"You got us back, call it even mate." Jonah shrugged eyeing the poker cards, "Can I play?"

Elijah nodded and soon Jonah was winning left and right surprising Elijah when he told him aunt Perrie was vicious when it came to poker but his dad hated it not wanting him to learn how to gamble. Almost an hour later Jonah's friends showed up and started betting as much as they could on which twin would win.

"Bloody hell!" Elijah dropped his cards then rubbed his hands on his face after losing for the third time.

"I told you I was good." Jonah smirked gathering his winnings. 

They continued playing until it got late and Jonah and his friends were forced to go back to their cabin by one of the camp counselors. The week passed by rather quickly much to their dismay but was spent together as much as they could. They got to know each other as much as they could and two days before they were supposed to go back home Jonah was already thinking about ways to see his brother knowing he was going to have to go all the way back to London while he was stuck in California.

Jonah had learned that his brother loved comics and just reading books in general and even had started reading a few comics Elijah had lent him. In turn, Elijah had learned that Jonah loved playing football which he sometimes called it soccer and enjoyed spending time outside and pranking people especially Nick who he hated.

"Is he really that bad?" Elijah looked up from where he was reading his favorite comic.

They were sitting under a tree away from everybody else just wanting to spend time together like they had been doing for the past week, just the two of them.

"Horrible, even uncle Niall hates him and he likes everybody." Jonah sighed then got up when they heard the bell letting them know it was time for lunch, "Come on, we can keep reading them later."

"I should put them back before going to the cafeteria." Elijah said getting up to follow him.

"Free seating today, we can sit together and I promise nothing bad will happen to them." Jonah smiled when Elijah finally nodded after a few minutes.

They found a seat on Jonah's usual table and continued reading while waiting for the rest of their friends. They had all become good friends making their stay more enjoyable apart from all the activities. Elijah was still focused lost in his own little world when the comic was ripped out of his hands making him gasp. He looked at Jonah thinking it had been him but found him looking straight ahead. Edgar Smith, the bully of the camp who had once pushed Elijah into the mud was standing in front of them with the comic in his hands and a smirk on his face. 

"Your brother is such a nerd, Styles." Edgar laughed, "And now you're just like him."

"And? Just give it back." Jonah narrowed his eyes at him.

"I think I'm gonna keep it." Edgar said as he scanned it.

"Look dude, just give it back and go back to your friends." Jonah insisted seeing how upset his brother was getting knowing it was his all time favorite.

Elijah's eyes widened when he heard a ripping sound seeing the way Edgar had tore a page out of it, "Oops. Don't be such a baby Eli, it's just a dumb comic." Edgar rolled his eyes.

Elijah didn't even get to say something when Jonah jumped out of his seat tackling Edgar down growling as he did so making him jump back at seeing his brother beating someone up. A group of people quickly gathered around them chanting 'fight' while Jonah and Edgar rolled around on the ground hitting each other, he winced when Jonah landed a punch right on Edgar's nose making it bleed. He wanted to do something but before he could two of the counselors showed up and separated them holding them back while they fought against their hold wanting to hit the other.

"You jerk!" Jonah shouted struggling against the counselor's hold, "You don't mess with him."

"Enough!" Mr. Stevenson shouted startling everyone in there, "You two to the office, the rest finish your lunches."

"He started it." Edgar complained holding napkins up to his nose trying to stop the bleeding.

"He was bullying my brother." Jonah retorted. 

"Is that true?" Mr. Stevenson turned to Elijah who only nodded, "Please finish your lunch, son."

Instead of doing as he was told Elijah picked up his comics along with the ripped one and followed his brother waiting outside the office for him. It felt like he had been sitting there forever when Jonah walked out wearing an angry expression that softened as soon as he saw his brother waiting for him.

"Are you okay?" Elijah asked.

"Yeah, are you?"

"I'm fine, he just ruined it. Are they going to punish you or something?" Elijah asked getting worried when Jonah looked down and chewed on his bottom lip

"They're gonna call dad...told me to pack my things, I'm supposed to leave tonight." Jonah sighed.

"But we still have two days left and you were defending me. That's not fair!" Elijah protested and before Jonah could say something else he walked into the office without knocking.

Mr. Stevenson was sitting in his desk about to pick up the phone making Elijah's heart race for different reasons, the fact that it was the father he knew nothing of who Mr. Stevenson was about to call and because that meant he would have to separate from Jonah. He took a step forward when Mr. Stevenson looked at him raising an eyebrow as an invitation for him to start talking.

"Please don't call him, Jonah was just trying to protect me." Elijah said proud of himself when he never stuttered once.

"Eli...what your brother did is against the rules and that's something we don't tolerate here, Edgar is going to receive the same punishment." Mr. Stevenson sighed, "He'll just be leaving two days before you."

"No, you don't understand. Our parents aren't together anymore and he lives in California and I in London and we never get to spend time together. If he leaves now I'm never gonna see him ever again." Elijah begged, "Edgar is always bothering me and he bothers some of the others too, Jonah told him to stop and he didn't listen."

"I can't do that, if I let him stay then I'm gonna have to let Edgar stay too." Mr. Stevenson tried to reason with him feeling bad about their situation.

"Then let them stay but please don't call dad, don't let him take my brother. Please!" Elijah continued begging.

"Alright, I'll let them stay but if he gets in trouble again then I'm calling your parents." Mr. Stevenson finally gave in smiling a little when Elijah's whole face brightened.

"Thank you! I'm gonna go tell him." Elijah said running out of there.

"Keep him out of trouble!" Mr. Stevenson shouted after him chuckling when Elijah shouted that he would before disappearing out of sight.

Jonah stopped chewing on his fingernails and quickly got up when he saw his brother running out of the office with the happiest smile on his face and felt a thousand times better.

"I convinced him to let you stay." Elijah said almost out of breath.

"What? How?"

"I told him this is the only time we'll get to spend together...it's true, after this I'm not sure when I'll get to see you again. We could trade phone numbers." Elijah shrugged, the atmosphere around them suddenly feeling heavy and ominous. 

"Lets go fix your comic, Mason has tape he snatched from the office. I want to talk to you about something." Jonah wrapped his arm around Elijah's shoulder heading back to his cabin.

When they got there Mason gladly gave them the tape feeling bad for what had happened then left them alone. They were quiet while Jonah busied himself trying to make it look good forcing himself to focus when it was already hard enough for him to do so. When he was done it looked almost the same except that now it had a bumpy line running at the edge of the page.

"Sorry, that's all I could do." Jonah sighed giving the comic back to his brother.

"Its okay, I can still read it. You were going to tell me something."

"Yes, its the best idea I've ever had!" Jonah exclaimed getting excited out of nowhere.

"We're not gonna get in trouble, are we?" Elijah nervously asked.

"Of course not. You told me you want to meet Harry and I want to meet Louis, so I was thinking that maybe we could switch places." Jonah eagerly explained.

"That's a bad idea Jonah, we're gonna get caught plus I don't know dad or his family." 

"We're not gonna get caught and I can teach you how to be me, Eli please! I want to meet dad, I want to see what he's like plus you'll get to meet my dad." Jonah begged.

"But how are we gonna switch back?" Elijah asked.

"That's the best part of the idea! We wait a few days to get to know them and spend time when them and then we tell them, they'll have no choice but to see each other again! We get rid of Nick and then get them together and voilà, they get married again." Jonah explained.

Elijah stared at his brother trying to convince himself it was going to work, he could see the hopeful look on his face and pushed away all the thoughts where something could go wrong.

"Fine, but if we get in trouble..."

"I'll take the blame, yes. Now dear Elijah, we need to start learning things." Jonah rubbed his hands together.

The next two days were spent learning things about their daily lives and house plans wanting everything to work out. The day they were supposed to be leaving they gave each other pep talks then waited in their respective cabins after they had traded contact information and had given each other a long hug. Jonah had promised to call him as soon as he was in their house not wanting to ruin their plans in case someone other than them answered the phone. 

He waited for his dad and uncle Zayn  while Elijah waited for their dad Harry already a nervous mess at the thought of meeting his father. All they wanted was for their parents to love them and some day be a family again, it wasn't too much to ask for after all. If only they knew.

Thoughts? :)
