Twenty Four

The awkward silence continued all the way home .When we entered inside Aunt Cassie said

"Delansy I need to have a word with you."

I suddenly started to shiver .I followed her to the living room while Trent and Tommy went to the kitchen to unpack their dinner .She slowly sat down on the sofa and kept quiet until she rose her head up .

"Who was that boy you were talking to Delansy?"

I was confused

"He's my best friend, Bryan-"

"I told you to keep your cover low .Do you know how many people saw you with him"

My temper began to rise

"I wasn't aware until I heard whispers from the background, I was just so happy that I jumped and hugged him -"

"You don't understand, do you? Your life is in danger Delansy! You can't just find someone on the way and start hugging them, What if he's suppose to get you killed!? In your situation, you are meant to stay indoors at all times because you have no idea who's with you or against you! What don't you understand that you're being hunted?"

I loudly yelled back

"I know I can't trust anyone but can't just judge a book by its cover! I've known Bryan ever since I was little and he's the only thing have left of my past that makes me happy .DON'T YOU WANT ME TO BE HAPPY!"

Before I knew it, I ran away from the living room and went to the purple room .I barged through the door and flew on the bed as tears went down my cheeks. All the memories flooded in my mind from my birthday till now ,It didn't stop until I slept .

........................................................................

While unpacking my things, I'm smiling at myself because of the fact that she's still alive .I'm starting to have different feeling towards her but I have to conceal them and concentrate on mission. I was interrupted by my sister's loud knocks on the door

"Mum said you should come down for dinner"

"I'll be there in a minute, hail"

She barged inside in her nightgown and her long blonde pigtails .She looked more of an 8 year old than an 11 year old

"What's taking you so long?"

"You can see boxes around me in a new room, Can't You?"

I said in annoyance. She looked at me in ridicule then replied

"Yes I can. Now, can I have my earplugs back!"

"Well, if that's the case, you have to sit down and wait until I'm done unpacking"

Her eyes widened in disbelief

"WHAT! That's so not fair!"

"Well my dear little sister, Life isn't fair to anyone"

I said as I gave a huge cheeky smile that only got her irritated

"Fine .Can I at least use your phone to call Chelsea since mine's dead"

"Sure. It's on top of my drawer, Close to the television"

She marched towards it; Unplugged my phone then walked out if my room

"What a brat!"

I said to myself.I still can't believe she's related to me and her twin 'helen' who is much nicer and politer than her .I removed my taught from my sister's behavior then went and continued unpacking

I came down for dinner a few minutes later .Mum's hazel soup made my night a whole lot better, I don't think I'll ever get tired of her cooking, Before I went back up, I decided to check on Hailey to see what she's actually doing on my phone .I was so furious when I saw her checking my messages .I snatched it from her and walked upstairs shouting

"Don't think you're getting away with this "

Before I shut my door and jumped into bed. I was woken up later by knocking on the door

"Bryan, can I please come in"

I knew Helen was at the door. I immediately stood up then opened the door She wore the same night gown and also did the same ponytails as her twin .They're just the complete replica of themselves except in character

"I found your laptop inside one of the boxes in my room and I decided to give it to give it back because I know Hailey wouldn't"

She knew her better than me .I collected it from her and thanked her

"Thank you very much Hellen"

Then kissed her forehead and closed the door. I jumped into bed and checked for any messages .There was one from Collins but none from Delansy. I opened it

Mr Maclin

Collins Marshal

While I was reading the message, I wondered what she was doing right now
