"May I come in?" A voice which I recognized as my twin's, spoke through the door just as River left.
"Yeah." I answered, making him open the door and nervously stroll into my room.
"Hey." He awkwardly nodded.
I just raised an eyebrow and nodded back.
What's up with him?
I heard him sigh and mutter a 'fuck it' under his breath.
"We need to talk." He blurted out.
"About..?" I asked, which he ignored.
"Look, I think...none of the apologies we said so far, made any sense. They seemed forced to me. When you left that day, that was when the real fear of losing you actually set in. During the whole ride here, I kept thinking of how I always took you for granted. I knew you always used to take the punishments and beatings for me whenever I purposely pissed Audrey off and I still kept doing it and I realized, though I was always grateful for what you did for me, I never expressed it and I brushed it off."

"Shh. It's okay, twinny. You don't have to speak anymore. I get it, I forgave you guys a long time ago. When I was kidnapped, I missed you all. Sitting in that cell, all alone made me realize just how important family is. I won't lie and say I still don't have any bitterness towards what you all did when the kissing incident happened, because believe me, brother, I do."
