The Life Of The Twins

Chapter Five

Three years later
"We're finally 18 Billy!! Isn't that great?" I said to him as I start to jump up and down. "Yes yes, I know that!" Billy said to me. He looked like he was still tired. I watched as he went back to sleep. Two years ago they found the perfect person to help Billy talk and since then he could talk but not longer than an hour or two. I'm happy he's able to talk now. Mother and father would be happy too. I can't wait until we're able to see them again. I wanted to go over to Rome's room but I was unable to open the door. Then I heard yelling, I could tell it was Rome. That's when Billy jumped out of bed. He ran up next to me. He tried to open the door but could not get it open. He started yelling and I was getting worried because they haven't locked the door in years. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?!?" He yelled while trying to open the door. Xander ran up to our door and stopped, He looked at us. "Do you guys know what's going on?" He asked both of us. "No we don't and we can't get our door open," I said to him. "I don't know why it's locked. Here let me open the door." He said. He got out the keys he had and tried to unlock the door but his key was not working. "The key isn't working. what is going on? Wait let me check on Rome. Then I'll come back to help you guys, Okay?" He said to both of us. "Okay please hurry," Billy said to Xander. He goes over to Rome's room. Next thing we know someone grabs Xander and drags him to another room. When I laid eyes on the person that was dragging Xander I almost freaked out, It was his father. I had no idea what was going on but I know it was no good. Rome stopped yelling but we heard Xander yelling. Billy was still at the door trying to get it open. I on the other hand was at the back of the room. I was sitting on the ground with my head on my knees. I had my ears covered. I could hear Addy telling Billy something but I don't know what it was. Whatever she said made him come over to me and hugged me. I could tell I was having a panic attack. It was hard to breathe, I couldn't stop shaking. It was getting so bad to the point where I passed out.

1-2 hours later
It hurt to move but I was able to move just enough to see who was laying next to me. It was Xander, he was hugging me. I tried to move his arm but I was too weak to do that. I could see Billy on the other side of the room. He was holding Rome. It looked like both of them were sleeping. I was finally able to get out of Xander's grip. I sat up and looked around, I saw that the door was open. I got up and walked out the door. I looked around the hallway. I remembered which way I went last time so I walked that way. I opened the door and saw Abby and my aunt talking. This time I get a chance to study with my aunt. Her hair was blue with a hint of red in it and it was up in a ponytail. Her eyes wear red with a hint of pink in them. She was wearing a light blue shirt with an even lighter blue devil face on it, and a greenish-blue jacket. She had a green jacket wrapped around her waist. she had dark blue gloves on, jeans, and teal boots. She was wearing a flower crown that was yellow and orange and sunglasses. She was wearing a pearl and a cross necklace. I had all the information that I needed so I stopped and listened to their conversation. "Look Abby I'll try and pay you next time I can but right now I can't, I'm in trouble." My aunt said to Abby. "What did you do this time Sally?" She said. "I may have done something that's going to put me in jail," Sally said. "Just tell me what you did now!!" Abby said in an angry tone. "I shot Lily, okay! I don't know if I killed her or not. I ran before I had a chance to see." Sally said with a worried tone in her voice. "You're telling me you shot their fucking mother?" Abby said while trying not to yell. "I did! She would not leave max after those many years, The fact they think their kids are somehow only brought them closer together." Sally said covering her eyes. "Look Sally I cannot keep those kids here if you kill their parents and if you can't pay me. You have until next month to pay me or I'm letting them go." Abby said to Sally as she got up out of her seat. "Fine I will get you your money but you better keep them here," Sally said before walking out of the room. I saw Abby turn around and look at the door I was looking through. I moved out of the way before she saw me. I started coughing, I looked and saw I was coughing up blood. I was starting to get really worried now. I got up and went to the bathroom that we were allowed in. I cleaned up and went back to my room. All three boys were still sleeping. I went over to Xander and laid next to him. As I laid down and put my head on his chest I felt him wrap his arms around me. "Hun, where did you go? You were gone for a long time." Xander asked me. It caught me off guard when he called me hun. "I just want to the bathroom," I said to him. I was telling him half of the truth. He didn't need to know the rest. "I know you're lying but I'm not going to make you tell me right now," Xander said to me. "You're right I'm not going to tell you. Can we please go to sleep now?" I said to him. "Fine we can go to sleep now, love," Xander said to me. He then kissed me on the head and hugged me tighter.

5 Days Later
Xander kept on for days trying to get me to tell him. I was already not okay thinking about what Sally said about my mother, and Xander asking me over and over made me snap. I ended up yelling but not loud enough for Billy to hear me. "Damn it Xander just stop asking. If you really must know I want upstairs and listen to Abby talk to someone, Okay? Are you happy now that you know?!" I yelled at him. I watched as his smile dropped. He looked at me not knowing what to say. "M-Milly please tell me you're lying!" He said to me as he grabbed the side of my arms. "Nope, I'm not lying. I did do that." I said to him. I looked into his eyes and could tell he was scared. "Can I know what you hear and who she was talking to?" He asked me. "She was talking to my aunt. Sally was telling Abby how she will try and pay her but she may not be able to because she shot someone." I said to him. I felt his hands slowly slide down my arms. "Okay, who did she shoot?" He asked a little worried. "She shot my mother but she has no idea if she killed her or not," I said. He then pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back. Out of nowhere, he picked me up. "Hey what are you doing, Zee?" I asked him confused. "I like that nickname, love and I want to sit on the bed." He said to me as he sat down on the bed. His back was to the wall. He had me on his lap. His hands were resting on my waist. I tried to say something but I couldn't. I was lost for words. I just looked into his eyes. His eyes were just so pretty. "Milly, Can I ask you something?" He asked, catching my attention again. "S-sure you can," I said to him. "When we got out of here can I please marry you?" He asked me with a smile on his face. I was shocked because I didn't think he would ask me that. I know I was blushing when he gave me another smile and started laughing. "You don't have to answer right now, darling. I can wait as long as I have to." He said to me. He pulled me closer to him and put his head on my shoulder. I was about to answer him before Billy ran into the room calling for us and trying to get us to follow him.
