"I want to stop by my dad's work" I say. Jake looks at me as we drive towards there house. "Ok" Emily says turning towards his work. It was almost 4pm. He'd be getting ready to go on the news at 5.
We arrive. taking a deep breath. "I wont be long" I say. Making my way Into the news room. "Stormie! My goodness how you have grown how old are you now"? The front desk lady asks. "16 is my dad around" I ask. She nods. Picking up the phone. After convincing my dad it really was me. I was lead back to his office. "Stormie is everything ok"? He asks.
I take a deep breath. "For the most part. Derek left for a bit. He needed to get away for some time.. and I wanted to say sorry" I said feeling awkward. His eyes widen. "He left? And you have nothing to be sorry about" he says. I nod. "It will take some time to get used to it but if she makes you happy than I am ok with it.. itll take some time getting used to it" I said. A smile formed across his face.
"Also I'll he staying at Emily's for awhile.. this might sound strange but you must listen if two teen girls or anyone you dont know comes to the house and asks to come in do. Not. Let.them" I say. Trying to sound as serious as possible.
"Storm what's going on are you in trouble? Is Derek is that why he left"? I could feel my self getting emotional. I took a deep breath. "Dad.. I cant explain it all right now.. maybe one day but please just trust me. In fact it might be better for you to stay at your girlfriend's house" I say.
His eyes look worried. "When will you be home"? He asks. I can sense his sadness. He thinks it is because of him. I don't think anything I can say will change that. "I dont know" I whisper. "I have to go but I'll be coming by later to get some of my things" I say.
He nods. I walk out to the car. Opening the door and getting into the front seat sighing . "You did the right thing" Jake says. I look at him. "I dont think I'll ever get used to this" I say. He smiles faintly. " I know" he replys and looks out the window.
"Can we swing by my place so I can grab my clothes and stuff" I ask. "Of course" Emily says. We pull into my driveway. A sense of sadness washes over me. So much has happened in four months. We go inside.
"It feels so empty" I say. I head up stairs to my room. Everything is the same. I grab a bag out of my closet. I get my clothes,hygiene products and my journal. I look around my room. Sighing.
"Ready" I say. Stopping outside Nick's room. I havent stepped foot in his room in a year. I'm pretty sure it is the same as the day I found him. That memory plays in my mind. I shake my head trying not to think about it.
Jake and Emily standing behind me now. "Was that his room"? Jake asks. I nod. "Who's room" Emily asks. I take a deep breath "my twin" I say. "He.." I take another deep breath. I have never said it out loud.
I close my eye's "he killed him self almost two years ago.. itll be two years in a few weeks" I say. I feel a hand on my arm. "I'm so sorry" Emily says. I nod. Realizing we have a understand of losing people we care about.
Her brother is still here but he did die. His whole life changed. We stare at the door for a moment. I hesitantly grab the knob. After everything I can do this. I think to my self.
Walking step inside i turn on the light. breathing in. Everything is exactly where he left it. I see a box on the desk. I didn't that notice before. I walk over to it. It has my name on it. Something in my gut tells me something isn't right.
I walk towards it. I feel a breeze. His window is open.. I look at Emily and Jake. Emily can tell by looking at me something Is wrong. I decied to text incase anyone else is hear.
I take out my phone
S:- This box wasnt here before and the windie definitely hasn't been open for almost two year's. Have Jake read too.
E:he's reading. You think it is from Katie or haylie?
S:-I don't know but I have a bad feeling. Something tells me we should go.
So we do. I grab my bag and we head out the front door. As we walk to the car. "Hi boyfriend" haylie says. I roll my eyes. Standing a little behind Jake. I pull Emily towards me.
"Didnt like our gift" Katie says. Looking at me. Like a cat looks at a mouse. "I didnt see a gift" I say. "It was in your twins room" she says with a wicked smile. Something about her knowing. The way she says that sends chills down my spin.
"It isnt a gift that will hurt you... physically" she says. Laughing. "Come on hales we have a appointment to get to. Jake instead of taking my dear sweet sister to the dance your taking me. If you say no or anything else your little friend will be my date. You know I swing both ways and I'll definitely have my way with her" she says. He glares at her. Eyes dark. Almost black. "Fine" he says.
"Emily be a good friend and go get the gift so your friend doesnt have to go in that room again" Haylie says. Jake nods at his sister to go get it. "Your brother so sweet" Katie says with a wink before they get in a car and go.
She.. she knew my brother. "It's a USB port". Emily says walking up to us holding a USB port. I stare at it. My stomach hurting knowing whatever is on that can't be good. I grab it.
We get into the car and head home.
