She was lost and so was he.
Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one.
Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as...

I barely miss the fork that comes flying toward my head. Vivian's hand stays mid-air as she glares daggers, ready to grab another fork.
"You've been together and didn't say shit to us?" she asks angrily, but we all know it's a rhetorical question.
"Vivian," I begin, but she quickly cuts me off.
"No. You don't get to 'Vivian' me. Why the fuck would you keep something like that from me? I'm your twin." Then she turns to Arabella. "And I'm your sister. Or at least that's what you told me. Guess you're always lying, right?"
"Viv, come on, I really didn't want to lie to you, but I hadn't even told my family yet. I didn't want any drama to come into my first relationship. I wanted to be able to enjoy it just for myself and Dominic. I wanted us to have our own thing." Arabella's words make my eyebrows furrow.
I was her first relationship? The thought sends a bunch of happy butterflies fluttering through my stomach. God, she's the only woman who could ever make me feel this way. It's a weird feeling, but I've gotten used to it happening every time I'm around her.
"And he's not listening! Great!" Vivian throws her hands into the air, pulling me from my thoughts. I look back at her, and she's glaring at me. Fucking hell.
She's being dramatic as hell right now. It's not like I was hiding my relationship with her girlfriend. She never cared about any of my past flings. I knew what I had with Arabella was different—it was a real relationship. But still, Vivian didn't need to be in my business like this.
"Here, I'm listening," Arabella kicks me under the table, but she doesn't look at me. "What else do you want me to say? You won't even look at it from my point of view."
"And what about mine? What about all of your friends' points of view?"
"Vivian, maybe let's take a breath?" Aria mumbles, trying to pull Vivian down, but Vivian shrugs her off quickly.
"No. I'm not going to calm down or some shit." She turns to Aria. "And why aren't you freaking out either? Why aren't you upset that they hid this from us?"
I see Arabella tense when the heat is put on Aria. I know Arabella's trying to protect Aria, since Aria already knew and kept the secret for us. But now it's all on Aria. It's going to be her choice whether to come clean, or Vivian will find out herself. Vivian's like a lie detector; she can sense a lie based on how close she is to the person. And Aria's known Vivian since elementary school, so yeah, Aria's screwed.
"I'm happy for them. They've been adorable. Look how happy they've been with each other. We wouldn't want to ruin that." Well, shit. Aria just outed herself. She said it in a way that Vivian would know she already knew.
"Did you know?"
Told ya. I know my twin.
"What?"
"Did you already know?" Vivian asks again. This time, I see Aria gulp.
