The Twins (EDITED)

Chapter 7

Ariana's POV-

"Why the heck are you so experienced?"

"How do you know how to fight?"

"STOP! LET HER BREATHE BOYS!" Alex yelled as Reese and Mike fell silent.

"I have one question, Ari," Brian said, making me nod.

"Well?" I asked. I am really nervous. What if he asks something that will completely expose Alex and I? He wouldn't do that, he knows a lot. At least, I don’t think he will. 

"Are you ready to answer their questions?" He asked. Concern was evident in his eyes, and I immediately relaxed. I shook my head.

"Okay. That's fine. We'll just eat dinner and in the morning we can ask questions," he said, making me sigh in relief. Gosh, I love him so much.

"Thank you, Brian," I said, hugging him. Eventually Alex joined the hug too, along with Mike and Reese. Another Realano sibling group hug?! WOAH!

After we ate dinner, we all said our good nights and went to bed. I gestured for Alex to come to my room when the others were asleep.

A little while later Alex came into my room.

"They're all asleep, Ari. What are we going to do? What questions are they going to ask? What if-" I cut him off.

"I don't mind if you ask the other questions to me, but don't say 'What if' because they will consume your mind," I said as he nodded in agreement. We both silently understood.

"What are we going to do, Ari? Are we going to tell them...about..everything? Even Brian doesn't know everything," Alex said. He is really stressed right now, as am I. But, I have to stay strong for him.

"I don't know, Alex. I don't know. But, I think we should tell them. We shouldn't be so secretive, now that they know part of it, they'll want to know the rest," I stated. They're pushing for more information than I can tell alone. I can't say anything without Alex's consent. That'd be downright wrong.

"Are you sure we should tell them? What if they won't love us anymore?" Alex asked as he’s about to cry. I need to say the right thing. But, I don't know what.

I stayed silent as he nodded in understanding. We have a silent understanding of each other. It’s a twin thing. I feel so helpless.

"Goodnight Ari, it might help if we sleep on it. I love you," Alex said, kissing my forehead.

"Goodnight, Alex," I said softly. What am I going to do?

"WAKE UP!" Mike screamed jumping on top of me.

"Ugh. That hurt Mike!" I mumbled. I am not a morning person.

"Don't you want to go to school? I thought you liked school!" Mike said as I rolled my eyes.

"Well, get out so I can change! Before I make you!" I threatened. I didn't have to tell him twice.

After a few minutes of choosing what shoes I was going to wear, I hopped into the shower.

I'm dressed, sitting down at the table, eating a granola bar.

"Wow! That outfit looks amazing on you, Ari!" Reese exclaimed when he saw me. Mike and I both rolled our eyes.
