Lea's P.O.V.:
We headed inside the house and we saw our parents sitting on the sofa. I walked towards them. "Hey, guys, Alice is back," I announced.
They both looked up from their newspaper and phone. "What?" They asked in unison. I looked at Alice who was standing right behind them. "Hey mum and dad," she said. She hasn't lost her Irish accent after all those months.
Mum instantly stood up and ran into her arms. They engulfed each other in a tight hug and I could hear sobs erupt. I decided to leave them alone, cry and it out and talk to each other and just catch up.
I went upstairs to my room, which now belongs to Alice again as well, and dropped myself on my bed and grabbed my phone. I chewed on my bottom lip and decided to send Ben a text.
Hey Ben. I don't know if you want to know or that you care or anything but Alice is back. x.
Minutes later I got a text back.
Hey Lea! Well, I care. Of course I care, but after what she did to me I don't think I can face her.
I sighed and decided to call him instead. He picked up after 2 rings.
"Ben, I know you hate her, but when I picked her up she told me, with truth in her eyes might I add, that she is in love you. She regrets everything she did, but she only did it so it was easier to say goodbye to all of us," I said and let out a breath.
"Lea, believe it or not, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I love her back. Because I do. But it's just so hard to face her after what she did," he said.
"Ben. Alice and I look alike. It's like looking in a mirror. I'm surprised you want to be around me," I said.
"You may not see the difference but I do. Alice is so beautiful and amazing and big hearted and just so perfect. You are you: my best friend who I've known forever and you are just so you, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, I do," but I didn't. "Listen, I have to go, I'll see you later, okay?" I said and hung up before he could answer.
I always knew that Alice was the better twin. Like Ben said; she is beautiful and amazing and big hearted and perfect. But who am I? Sure, I know everyone around here, but I never stop wondering:
What do the people here really think of me?
