Hate at First Sight

Chapter 32

Lea's P.O.V.:

I was walking around the party and making small talk with the guests.

I ran upstairs and grabbed the bag with the gifts inside for Alice. I went back downstairs and looked for her. I spot her in the back, talking to Ben. I walked over.

"Hey, sis, happy birthday," I giggled and handed her the bag. She smiled at me and thanked me. She took the fashioncheque out of the bag and thanked me like a billion times. I giggled. Then she took out the high heels and almost dropped them. "How did you know?!" She exclaimed. "I have an eye for these things," I giggled. Then she took out the box where our matching necklaces were in. She opened it and her eyes lit up. She grabbed hers out and instantly put it on her neck. She gave me a big hug and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled, "You like it then?" I giggled. "Like? Lea! I love it! Thank you so much!!" She hugged me again.

"Well, it is our birthday. I had to give you something," I grinned. "On that note," she said and left. What? Was it something I said? Seconds later she returned with a massive box. Oh. I should've gotten her something bigger. "Here you go!" She squealed and put the box on the table. "Sweet baby Jesus," I said and removed the lid of the box. Inside were the cutest puppies someone could ever imagine. They were so freaking cute! "" Oh my God! I love them!! They're so cute!" I exclaimed. The cutest puppies I've ever seen. "They're sisters," she said with a smile, "just like us." I smiled and hugged her thanking her.

"Do they have names?" I asked. "No, but they're sisters, so how about you name one and I name the other?" She suggested. "Sounds good! What do you want to call yours?" I asked. "Bubbles!" She giggled, "You?"

"I'll name mine Cotton," I giggled. Bubbles and Cotton. Wow. Are we Paris Hilton?

The rest of the party was amazing. After everyone left Ben and Ed stayed behind.

"This was the best birthday ever," I said and looked at Alice. "It really was. I'm so happy I got to spend my 18th birthday with my twin sister," she said and we hugged each other again. That's what we do. We hug.

Ben took Alice aside for God knows what and I went and sat down on Ed's lap. "Did you have fun?" I asked and kissed his cheek. "Of course. I was with you, how can I not have a good time?" He grinned and pecked my lips.

A couple of minutes later Alice came back with pain and hurt in her eyes. I furrowed my eyebrows a little. "Alice? Are you okay?" I asked and walked over to her.

"I have to tell you something. Something I stalled for a very long time," she said.

"What's going on?" I asked and looked Ben. Tears started to fill my eyes. Somehow I expected bad news.

"I'm going back to America," she said and looked down.

That's when my tears started to fall.

"When?" I asked with a shakey breath.

"Next week," she said.
