Twinsequences (Twisted Twin #1)(20)
Author: Jennifer Foor

Thankfully, my parents only lived a couple blocks away, so I didn’t have to be with him for very long. He reached for my arm when I was climbing out. “Willow, wait! Please let me explain.”

I pulled away from him and slammed the door shut. “I have nothing to say to you. You took something beautiful and turned it to shit. You two deserve each other!”

I walked toward the house and never looked back at him.

By the time I’d made it around back, where my parents always hid the key, I heard him peeling away from the curb. I grabbed the key, but sank down in a chair by the pool. I didn’t care if I spent the night out back of my parent’s house. I just didn’t want to be near him.

How could he have done that to me?

Why did he say those things to me, when he didn’t mean them?

Why did he show me the diary, if he was just going to break my heart?

None of it made sense.

I continued crying, losing myself in an emotional breakdown. I never should have come home. I should have ignored her calls.

I should have stayed far away from her husband.

All they’d ever done was hurt me.

I heard laughing and someone approaching me. There was no reason to turn around, because I knew exactly who it was. “I was wondering when you’d show up.”

I lunged toward her, shoving us both into my parent’s in ground pool.

“I hate you! You took everything from me, you stupid bitch!” I shoved her under the water, but she was just as strong as me and she took me with her.

We wrestled under the water, until we both needed to take a breath. She came up in one direction and I came up at least five feet away.

She kept backing away from me until she reached the ladder. I watched her climb out of the pool. “You deserved it! I’ve waited forever to see the perfect princess fall. They’ll never forgive you now. You’ll be forever tainted in their eyes.”

I climbed out on the other side. “Who?”

“Mom and Dad. They’ve been comforting me since I found out you were having an affair with Stoshua. They’ve known about it for days.”

“That’s impossible. I never heard from them. Mom would have called.”

“I have your phone, remember? It’s too bad you ignored her calls. I think she really wanted to let you have it. Don’t worry, I saved the messages. I recall one saying that no daughter of hers could ever stoop so low.”

I was flabbergasted, enraged, heartbroken and alone. How was I supposed to give up everything. It was bad enough that my sister had betrayed me, but now she’d told my parents a bold faced lie.

I’d only come back to town because she desperately needed my help. Stoshua had nothing to do with it. What happened between him and I wasn’t planned. Not on my part. “This is insane. They won’t believe you!”

She started laughing. “I assume you saw the photo? Where do you think I got it?” She laughed harder. “Dad hired a PI. He sent dad the text a couple hours ago. That was all the proof they needed, being that I was here with them the whole time, crying because of what the two of you had done to me.”

I ran after her, knocking her onto the ground. My hands were wet, so the sting of me smacking her face must have hurt. I didn’t care. I kept hitting her, taking out all of my frustrations on her face.

She tried to cover herself. “Stop! You’re hurting me!”

“Screw you! Screw you for all those things you said about me. I never did shit to you! How could you ruin my life on purpose? How could you take him away from me?”

I felt someone pulling me off of Ivy. She wiped the blood away from her mouth and laughed again. “I’m glad you know the truth! Take your cunt ass out of here and never come back!”

I didn’t know who had me by the arms, but I tried to lunge at her again, failing completely. “I hate you! I wish you were never my sister!”

“I don’t care how you feel. I have the life you wanted. Everyday, you’re going to want to be me. Take that and shove it up your nerdy little princess ass, Willow!”

At first, I thought it was my father that had a hold of me. I knew it couldn’t be my mother, since she was smaller and not as strong. When I turned and saw Stosh, I said nothing. I didn’t know why he was there, but I didn’t care either.

He and my sister could have each other, for all I cared. They were both dead to me. “I did everything for you! I walked away so you could be happy. I covered for you our whole lives and this is how you repay me?” I was sobbing so hard that I wasn’t sure they could even hear me.

“Cut this shit out, Ivy! This has gone too far.” Stosh was obviously defending me out of pity.

Her eyes got huge. “Now you’re taking up for your little conquest? Does she know how I lured her here so you could f**k her? Does she know that it was all part of my plan to ruin her?”

“Shut up! I’ve had enough!” I could see the blood boiling inside of him.

It didn’t matter that he was attempting to take up for me. Nothing he could say would make me forgive him. He was playing a losing game.

“If you leave, you’ll be sorry. Remember what I told you, Stoshua. I meant every word.”

His grip loosened and finally he let go. “The keys are in my car. Take it wherever you need to go,” he whispered so she couldn’t hear.

I didn’t thank him for the gesture, instead I hauled ass out of my parents yard. I drove his car straight to the airport, where my car was still parked. I didn’t care about my bag of clothes, or my cell phone. I just wanted to get the hell away from all of them.

Before I could drive home, I sat in my car and let out the pain. I cried harder than ever before, only stopping to catch my breath. They betrayed me. My sister had ruined my chance at happiness. Stosh had slept with me, filling my head with false hope. It was too much to handle.

I couldn’t even call my parents for support. They thought I was a home wrecker.

I had no one to talk to. I was all alone, just like Ivy wanted.

I pulled her phone out of my pocket and threw it against the ground, smashing it into a million pieces. I didn’t care about getting in touch with any of them. If she needed her phone, she could buy a new one. My days of doing her favors were long gone. I no longer had a sister.

When I finally got home, I was so exhausted that I landed in my bed and fell right to sleep. I was glad about it, since I didn’t want to have to think about them. The next day, I remained in my room. It took me three days to call the phone company and report my cellphone lost. I received a replacement on the fourth day, but kept it turned off. I didn’t want to listen to the messages, or take any phone calls.
