I watched as my parents light the lantern and release it up into the night sky, My mother covered her eyes with her hands as she sobbed...Father hugged her close hoping it would somehow take away the pain

I sighed and made my way back to my room...it's suppose to be my 13th birthday but my parents never considered me...all they think about is my long lost twin

"Why the long face princess?" I looked up only to see the one friend I have...I just gave him a shrug and continued walking...

I hear him follow me to my room and I didn't mind...Once I got in my room, I sat down by the window and stared at the lanterns outside, there are thousands of them and they're all for her

"Happy Birthday Rachel" His voice brought me back to reality, I turned to him and forced a small smile...atleast I have him

"Thanks Jack"
