2 months later.

Dear Diary, I'm sorry it's been a while. There hasn't been that many interesting things going on. I know it's been 2 months now but life has just been normal! I've had 3 more 'headaches' if that's what they're called. Luckily I haven't had a repeat of the paralysis? situation. Idek what to call these things but oh well. 

Kay and I have been growing closer but we still haven't found out if we're brothers. I still haven't been able to shift and I think it's starting to get to me, I always feel down and I barely ever feel happiness. The only times I do are when I'm with Rhys. 

Yeah, I think I am kinda crushing on him at the moment but he could just be a really good friend, right? Anyways gotta go now. I add later. Thursday 24th March 2022

I woke up, my eyes slowly adjusting to the light. I looked beside me and was surprised to find Rhys sleeping next to me.

"Rhys?" I asked whisper-shouting whilst gently shaking him.

"Yeah, wait huh?!" he replied, "Why are you in my bed?" That's when I realised that I wasn't in fact in my bed, I was in Rhys's. Oh. How on Earth did this happen?

"I honestly don't know, I don't remember having a nightmare, maybe I did?" I responded

"Maybe..." he muttered, "but I would have gone into your bed right? Wait..."

"Yeah, you would've. What are you thinking?" I asked

"Um, nothing." he answered quickly, "Um, yeah. Nothing"

"Ok, oh well, I give up tryna guess. I can't be asked to figure it out, if we remember then cool otherwise I don't mind," I concluded before getting up and starting to get ready.

We arrived at the cafeteria early so sat at our regular table and waited for the food to be ready. Rhys was being suspiciously quiet and was avoiding my glance.

"Hey," I said gently, "you okay?"

"Mhm" he mumbled back quietly

"Sure, if you wanna talk or anything I'm here," I smiled, he smiled back.

Clara and Josh appeared after that followed by Kay who rushed up to us and explained that he and I needed to go to Matt's office straight away.

"Matt wants to talk," he explained whilst we walked to Matt's office.

*Knock knock*

"Come iiiiinn!" Matt shouted from the other side of the door. "Ah! Hey guys, I have some news for you," he grinned.

"So, I've been looking through the records and found two birth certificates for your birthday's in 2006. The names are Kay-Alex and Jay-Alyx Hughes," he continued his grin becoming even bigger - how that was even possible I don't know, "Also it confirms that the two of you are twins, cool middle names guys,"

"Oh, and your parents' names are there if you want them," he added with a sympathetic look.

"Uh, sure I'd like to know, what about you Jay?" Kay asked

"Yes please," I answered smiling

"Right... their names are right here. Ah found it!" he exclaimed after finding a piece of paper on his desk, "right, their names were Sarah and James Hughes, from what I've found they were high school sweethearts and were living happily until an accident happened,"
