The Evansson twins

64

Lizzie POV

From the moment they walked in together i saw the expression on florence's face and i immediatly knew she was jealous. If looks could kill jade would've been dead the second they came inside.

It got even worse when mason called her cupcake, and it was the worst when jade sat down on madeline's lap. She couldn't stop glaring at her and i decided to have a little fun. I lean over to flo and whisper "if you glare any longer lasers will shoot out of your eyes" in her ear and her head snaps in my direction "w-what" she stutters and i giggle "i've seen the way you get jealous when they are to touchy" i tell her and she just shakes her head and shrugs. I laugh to myself and focus back on the games.

Madeline POV

We played some card games and now it's time to play pictionary. Jade and i started smirking because we both know jackson sucks in pictionary and they will loose. "Hey that's not fair i get jack" mason says and we starts laughing "must suck to know you'll loose" i mock him amd he pouts "don't worry we won't rub it in. Will we?" I ask turning to jade and she shakes her head and says a sarcastic 'noooo'. All of us start laughing except flo and that didn't go unnoticed by me and lizzie. I saw her looking at flo a couple times but i don't understand what's wrong and i actually don't want to think about it right now. I mean for the first time since we left oxford i'm seeing my best friends, everything is going good with scarlett and flo and i want to see what this thing is between us, if you would call it a thing.

Pictionary, what a great game to play. At least for me because i always have the time of my life when my twin tries to draw. Let me tell you a little secret, in our twin set there are many talents, some of them we share, some of them we don't, some of them we don't want and some of them we wish we had. That's the thing with jackson. He's the one that got none of the drawing talent and i have it all. When i tell you he got no talent for drawing i simply mean none. He once tried to draw a stick man and it looked like a really weird star with a moon somewhere hidden in the drawing. At least that's what i made of it with my imagination, i got the fantasy and the artistic talent that i love and he's got the sports talent that he loves.

At the very moment jade and i are crying and dying of laughter. Both chris and robert are getting frustrated because of jack's drawing skills, colin is just guessing random things and mason is on the end of the couch pouting so hard his lip almost touches the ground. I almost fell off jade's lap wich caused her to grab me tighter and her hands are now resting on my thighs. I din't think anything of it because this is a normal position for us. Trough the years we've became closer than we could ever imagine and my love language is touch, even after all that had happened to me, it can be as simple as a hug or just a pat on the shoulder but for me it shows that the person cares. That's also one of the reasons some might think i'm a bit of e touchy person,

Another reason is my anxiety, it creeps in at the moments i need it the least and leaves me alone on moments it wouldn't be as much of a problem. I mean it always sucks but some times are more convenient if you get what i mean. Touching someone helps me calm down and stay focused. Jade has seen a lot of my anxiety and she knows there's less of a chance on a panic attack when she touches me. It took a long time for me to come to terms with it and honestly i think i haven't fully come to terms with it but she has been a big help in all of it. I tried to hide it from her in the beginning but when we were fostered by mr. benson it became worse and i couldn't hide it anymore, i had chronic panic attacks and my anxiety got worse. Up until this day i'm still trying go control it and i'm getting there, step by step.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the thoughts flooding my brain i decide to excuse myself for a minute. "I'm going to get a bit of water" i tell them and i go to the kitchen.

I didn't notice someone following me so i jump when i hear a voice from behind me.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I hear them say and i swallow hard before answering.
