✦ Synopsis

Prologue : Gone “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us darling?” Mom asked me. I tore my eyes away from my phone. I’m currently texting Chad, my boyfriend. “I’m sure.” I smiled at them. My twin sister rolled her eyes at me. We’re exactly the same, there were times people confused us. The only difference is that she’s the shy one and I’m more… free spirited. “You’re missing out, mom will take us to the game store!” Mitch, my seven year old brother, smiled like a kid who got a piece of candy. “She thinks she’s too old for that.” Hester roller her eyes at me. Again. “Mom can I hang out with Chad?” I changed the conversation. “Where?” She eyed me suspiciously. “His house.” I panicked as my mom started to shake her head. “His mom will be there, I promise to be good! Please mom.” “I don’t know, what do you think Ed?” Mom asked dad. My dad shrugged. “Let the girl have some fun, she says that Maggie will be there. Nothing bad will happen.” Mom sighed and nodded. “Fine but I want you home by eight okay?” I started to protest but then Hester hissed: “Take what you can get.” I made a face at her and then nodded. “Thanks mom.” I hugged her and then ran upstairs to change. Chad likes it when I wear short stuff so I got a skirt that reached mid-thigh, that’s the shortest I could get. Then slipped on a red tight shirt. Put on the two inch heels my dad bought me for my birthday and was ready to go. By the time I reached downstairs my mom and siblings were gone. Dad shook his head at me but didn’t say anything. He keeps telling me how Chad doesn’t want to just hold hands and walk down the park. We’ve been together for two months, sure he is exaggerating. Minutes later we were outside Chad’s house. I ran out of the truck and knocked on the door. Maggie came out and greeted me with a kiss on the cheek then waved at my dad. “Chad, darling, Keller is here!” She yelled at the start of the stairs. “Coming!” Chad yelled back. It took him a minute to get down the stairs and pull me to his room. “Don’t bring us cookies mom!” He warned and made me chuckle. Then he turned to me. “Gorgeous.” he smiled and began to kiss me passionately. Things were always like that with Chad. After a couple of seconds we came apart and sat on his bed. “There’s this party tomorrow night, Ellen is hosting it. Want to go?” I moved uncomfortably. Ellen was nice to me when Chad was there, otherwise she treated me like some cheap whore. I tried to talk things through with her but she just doesn’t like me. Weird thing is that she gets along just fine with my twin sister, Hester. “Come on, babe, it’ll be fun. What do you say?” Chad whispered in my ear, then bit my earlobe. I sighed. “Fine.” “Awesome.” he grinned. “Wear something sexy.” I chuckled. “Only you would want that.” “I want you Keller.” Then we were kissing again. I don’t love him but I like him a lot. We came apart and I saw the rain from the window. “Mom doesn’t like to drive in the rain.” I said as I stood looking out the window. Chad came behind me and hugged me, rested his chin on my shoulder. “She’ll be fine.” “I know. Hester wont let her drive if mom feels sick.” I felt more secure to know that my sister was with them. “About your sister…the time when you missed school because of a cold, I sort of confused you guys. She made things clear…very clear.” I turned around. “What do you mean?” “Before I started dating you she told me she liked me, but who I truly wanted was you. That day she made things clear…” he cleared his throat. “She stepped aside or something like that. But it’s been bugging me since then, I wanted to let you know.” I felt a warm feeling inside me. He’s been honest which means he cares enough for me. Then rage, I felt angry at myself for not noticing or asking my sister if she felt something for Chad. “I cant do this.” “What do you mean?” Chad asked a bit panicked. “We can't be together.”...
