Falling 4 Da Twinz

Chapter 2: The Cicada

"Ohhhh yeaaa, listen. We got a surprise for y'all" Debo says. "Oouuu what is it? TELL US" Jayna yells excitedly" "Tell us!" Jayda squeals. "Alright, be quiet and listen" Debo answers. "So you know how it's been a minute since we seen y'all right? We miss y'all and we know y'all miss us. So me and Chris decided to buy all of us tickets for a trip to Bora Bora. "Omg YAAAAAYYYY!" The twins scream and jump up and down in excitement. "BUT--- the trip is due in September" Chris adds. "Awwwwwwww why not sooner?" Jayna asks frowning. "Yea we wanna see y'all asap" Jayda replies."That's why we wanted to ask y'all to come over to Chicago and spend some time with us in the meantime." Suddenly someone barges into the twin's room. It's Jazzy, they're older sister.

"What was all that screaming coming from? What I miss out on?" she asks. "Is that Jazzy?" Chris asks. "What's the word Jazzy?" he says. "Jazzzayyy! Wassup?" Debo asks. "Haaayyyyy y'all, I miss y'all! What y'all got going on?" "We was just telling your sisters, how we planned a trip to Bora Bora for us to go to in September," Debo says. "And was I invited?🤨" she asks. "Uhhhh-" Debo looks at Chris. Chris looks back at Debo. Jazzy laughs. "I'm just kidding, I'm gonna be so busy in September so I'll pass," she says leaving the room.🤣 "Oh, ight," Debo says. "So are y'all coming to Chicago to see us?" Chris asks.

"YESSSS" the twins shout at the same time. "We are getting on the plane tomorrow!" Jayna exclaims. "Ight, cool" Debo says. "So I'mma get to see you Jayda?😏" he asks. "Yes Debo, you will" she answers rolling her eyes and blushing. "Hey Jayna, I got to talk to you," Chris says. Jayna gets nervous. "Talk to me?" she asks nervously. She looks at Jayda and mouths silently "I'm scared." "Yes and Imma need you to be alone." "Okay," she says leaving the room. She goes down the stairs and enters the front porch. "What is it?"

"So... You know how we been talking for a while like it's been months now. You know I want you and I hope you feel the same way." "Do you?" he asks. "Yes, I do bu--" He cuts her off. "I'm not even trynna beat around the bush. So I'm just gonna say it. Jayna will you---"

*BOOM*

A loud thud comes from inside of their house.

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

And then there are screams. "Oh, My God!" Jayna screams. "What's going on?? Y'all good? Jay's you good" Chris shouts in concern. "Hold on Chris, let me call you back." Jayna hangs up and rushes inside the house. The follows where the screams are coming from and ends up in the basement. It's her mom and dad. "What happened?!" she yells, her hand on her chest. Her dad has a broom in his hand raised in the air. "ISSA BIG ASS ROACH" he shouts. "GET IT!" Mama Johnston screams. "It's a cicada!" Jazzy shouts laughing. "I don't care what it is, it needs to go back to where the hell it came from!" He shouts again.

The screams continue. Jayda barges in. "What's wrong?" she shouts looking terrorized. "Daddy's trying to kill that cicada" Jazzy answers. "Hold on Debo," Jayda says as she pauses the face time call. "YALL SCARED ME!" Jayda exclaims. "ME TOO!" says Jayna. "Feel my heart, Jayda!" They feel each other's hearts. Jazzy continues laughing hysterically. "What happened to the tv? Why is it cracked? she asks. "It fell while he was trying to kill the bug" Jazzy replies barely getting her words out. Their Dad continues smacking the broom against the cicada but it still won't die. Mama Johnston screams even louder. "GET THE RAID!" Jazzy (as weak as she is from laughing) rushes to get the spray. The twins start laughing too.

"I'm about to go live," Jayda says laughing. She starts an Instagram live and titles it "My Dad is trying to kill a bug (HILLARIOUS)" She starts recording the scene. Jazzy hands her Dad the spray. He quickly sprays the bug and doesn't stop until it falls to the ground. They all move back. The room becomes silent. "I think it's dead?" Jayna murmurs while recording the bug. She zooms in. They all sigh and relief. The dad smiles and shouts "I DID IT!" Mama Johnston gives him a high five. They all cheer and give their dad a high five.

Suddenly, there is a high-pitched buzzing noise coming from the big. They look down at it. The cicada starts twitching. "I don't think it's dead!" Jazzy shouts, hiding behind their dad. "Oh. Hell. Nah." he says panicking. The next minute, the cicada starts flying around the basement. They all scream and run out of the basement. They all head to the living room while the cicada follows behind them. The twins hide behind the couch still screaming. Jazzy hides in the closet. Their little brother "Jakey" wakes up from his sleep and walks into the living room. He rubs his eyes.

"What's all that noi--" He looks at the cicada buzzing around in the air. His eyes turn big and then he tries to run away. He slips on a spill and falls on his back. The cicada flies out the door and ends up outside. "LOCK THAT DOOR!" The dad yells. Jakey locks it. They all sigh in relief. "Are you okay, Jakey?" the twins ask. Jakey growls in pain. "I'm okay" he grunts. "Okay yall, the cicada left" Jayda whispers to the camera and ends the live. The dad freezes. Then he raises his hand slowly and points his finger to the air. He clears his throat. "If I ever see another one of them devils, in my house again... Lord knows" he pauses, turns around, and walks up the stairs into his bedroom.

Mama Johnston looks back at her kids, widens her eyes, and says calmly "Yall better keep them doors closed.👀" and follows him. The rest of them stay quiet and then Jazzy bursts out laughing. They all start laughing afterwards. "I'M WEAK! Y'all seen the way he ran!🤣" "Why you fall like that, Jakey?" Jayda asks him laughing then hugs him. They all laugh about the scene for a while. "I'm going back to my room" Jayda exclaims. "Me too," Jazzy says. "Me three" Jakey replies. Before Jayna, makes a move, her phone rings. It's a face-time call from Chris. She sees the time, it is 8:35 pm. Then several notifications pops up on her phone. All of them are missed calls from Chris. "Ohhh, I forgot," she says smacking her forehead. She picks up the call. "Jayna! What happened? Why you ain't pick up? You had me worried. You straight?! Everything good over there?" Chris says worriedly. "We are fine, you won't believe what happened," she says laughing.

Jayna tells him the whole situation. And they burst out laughing. As soon as they settle down, Chris speaks about earlier. "Jayna..." "Yes," she answers. "You remember what we were speaking about earlier?" "Mmmm Hmmm" she answers. Her heart beating fast. "You know, you're the first girl, I've ever had these type of feelings for. Even in my past relationships, I never had no girl make me feel like this... Make me feel like I could do whatever, say whatever's on my mind without arguing. I never had a shordy, that I can really express myself to, and give me good advice and push me to be a better person, the way you do. You're like my best friend and my crush in one. And you know I can't go a day, without thinking about you. I hate being distant from you. You make me laugh, and I love your energy, your soul, your family, your sister, your momma. They all like family to me. And I just know for a fact, there ain't no other female out there that is like you. It don't get no better than you and I just can't leave you alone." Jayna's heart is beating even faster. "So basically what I'm trying to say is... I want you. I want you to be mine. Jayna will you be my girlfriend?"
