“Does anyone want to explain to me what’s going on here?” I asked incredulously.  Wandering if I was actually delusional and seeing things.

“Pumpkin I think it’s time that we explain everything that’s been happening recently.” The Tom on my left said calmly then pausing for a second.

“Well… Are you going to explain?” I asked after he stopped talking. The Tom’s shared a look and then directed their gaze back to me.

“Okay,” The Tom on my right started “My name isn’t Tom it’s Hunter. I can see why you thought I was Tom though because we are twins”.” Oh. So that’s why he said he didn’t remember me from years back. He was in town but it wasn’t him that saved me, it was his brother. I feel so stupid now. How couldn’t I have seen it before?

I buried my head in my chest feeling totally humiliated. I can’t believe I just assumed the worst. I thought Hunter was Tom and I was wrong. Ughh.

“Hey, Pumpkin, it’s alright how were you supposed to know? I’m just surprised that you remembered me for all these years!” Tom said.

“Did you remember me?” I asked Tom in a whisper. Afraid of feeling rejected again.

“Pumpkin, look at me” He demanded softly. I obliged and lifted my head slowly, looking directly into his eyes.

“I could never forget you” He whispered, then pulled me into a hug. My heart started racing dramatically in my chest and my stomach felt like it was about to explode with all the elephants running around in there.

As soon as Tom touched me the sparks flew again but this time I didn’t pull back. I relaxed in his arms feeling contented.

My peace was soon broken though when Hunter cleared his throat. I had completely forgotten that he was still in the room and I smiled sheepishly. Tom glared daggers at Hunter for interrupting our moment but kept me in his arms all the same. I was mentally jumping for joy.

“So now that we’re all reunited and everything I think we better explain what has happened over the last few days.” Hunter said dismissing the confessions from earlier.

“Well pumpkin, has anything peculiar happened over the past few days apart from me and Hunt?” Tom asked softly looking at me with intrigued eyes.

I thought back over the past few days and remember the scene from earlier no in the day. Maybe it would be best to share.

“Actually, yeah. Earlier today I was chased by someone, I know it doesn’t seem like much but they were speeding at me and I had to run off. I ran to my friend’s house when there was nowhere else to go and he stopped outside her gate. A bit off my jumper tore off though and he was sniffing at it like there was no tomorrow. It was really weird now that I actually think about it.

I ranted not being able to briefly tell them what happened.

Hunter and Tom shared a look again, but this time it alarmed me more though. I could hear the rate of Tom’ heart beat picking up and knew this wasn’t a good sign.
