A liars truth

Part 12

Noa's PoV

"I'm, I guess I'll start" Imogen announced as we sat round a Ouija board. Do I want to be speaking to the dead? Hell no! I want to be cuddled up in bed with Hayden. I was rudely woken up this morning by my mom phoning to let me know she was on her way home, asking if I would open the door for her. Last night was perfect. Literally perfect. Hayden is so unbelievably cute in the morning... especially naked Hayden in my bed. I expected things to be a little awkward this morning but I was glad when they weren't. My mom made us breakfast and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Conversation flowed easily with us, you can tell my mom adores Hayden, not as much as I do. At one point I dropped my hand underneath the table and stroked Hayden's thigh. She turned to me and smiled that dorky smile that I love, unaware that her face is covered in syrup. She had to leave after breakfast to help Imogen box up their house, which left me with my mom. My mom who would stop asking me why I was so happy. I'd promised Imogen yesterday that I would meet up with the rest of the girls this afternoon so we could sit in the Adams home and try to reach out to the dead ... why did I agree to this? "We're, um ... gathered here to make contact with the spirit of Davie Lee Adams... my mom" Imogen softly said as we all sit on the floor  in a circle. The five of us reached forward pressing our fingers to the moveable part of the Ouija board. "Mom... it's me ... Imogen. I guess what I really want to know is ... are you ok? Or ... at peace?" I'm all of a sudden feeling strange sitting here on the floor doing this. I know imogen wants this but I'm not sure how Hayden feels about it, I mean it's her mom too. As the awkwardness I'm feeling starts bubbling the piece moves on the board ... to yes. "Whose moving it?" Faran asks, when I look up I feel them looking at me so I quickly retaliate "um, don't look at me". "Everyone take your hands off" Imogen ordered, we all immediately took our hands away, all of us feeling freaked out. Just when I think this is over, Imogen starts again "mom ... what happened to you? Did you ... did you die alone? Or was there someone else with you? Did it have something to do with Angela waters? Please. I need to know" the desperation in Imogen's voice makes me sad as my eyes are glued to the Ouija board. Imogen's desperation soon turns to anger "there has to be an explanation ... why would you leave me? If you really did kill yourself out of guilt, then you had to have known that we would be the ones to find you in the tub and deal with all this bullshit. Me and Hayden .... Alone!" I look at Tabby, concern for Imogen written across both of our faces. "Seriously? You have nothing to say. After everything you have put us through? You abandoned us! We have no one... no one expect each other! You left your two children! I mean thank god I have Hayden because if I didn't I'd truly be alone! So please say something!" Imogen desperately looks at the board. Tabby tries to bring Imogen back "Imogen ..." but is cut off by Faran "let her work it out". As I drop my head back and watch a candle flame flick, I think of Hayden and how strong she is ... she really is holding it together for both her and Imogen. She's all of a sudden the support system for Imogen when she probably needs it herself. "You know what mom? FUCK YOU" Imogen screams into the room, the rage completely taking over. But she's not finished "I hate you! And you know what? I'm glad that this place is selling because I don't want to think about you anymore. Can we please get the fuck out of here? Please" tears are rolling down Imogen's cheeks as we all look at her scared and worried for our friend. I wipe a tear that slipped down my face away as tabby comforts Imogen "yes, but your wrong about having no one". Mouse then reaches out to hold Imogen's hand "yes, you have us". I reach out to grab her other hand "we are here for you Imogen. Always. Neither of you will ever be alone.. not as long as we are around". Faran nods behind me "for sure. We are." Farans voice breaks at the end. It circles back to tabby "to quote Chucky 'friends till the end'" this makes us all sadly laugh as we all start tearing up, ending in a group hug on the Adams living room floor.

After my afternoon with the girls... I'm on my way back home to see my mom. Iv messaged Hayden but she hasn't responded yet. As I climb the stairs to my apartment I smile thinking about my Hayden and my night with Hayden last night. None of the girls asked about it, so I didn't tell them. It feels weird with Hayden and Imogen being twins ... going to Imogen who is my friend and telling her about my sex life with my girlfriend ... who is her twin. I open the door and shout "hi mom" as I enter our apartment. "Hi honey, we ordered take out. Pizza" my mom states as she walks out of her bedroom. "We?" I ask confused to the we in the statement. I follow my mom as we round the corner to the kitchen, seeing the 'we' my mom was talking about. "Honey, Hayden came over to fix the cupboard door for me... finally we will have cupboard doors up thanks to the wonderful Hayden" my mom praises Hayden who looks really hot working a drill. "Hey Noa" Hayden smiles at me whilst focused on her work. "Hey Hayden. Your pretty good with a drill aren't you?" I tease whilst grabbing an apple, wishing my mom wasn't here right now. Hayden definitely lost focus for a moment before she regained her composure and decided to tease me back ... in front of my oblivious mother "mhm, I can teach you if you like noa?". She bites down on her lip, the action nearly buckling my knees that is until my mom pipes in "you know noa... that's not a bad idea. Learning some handy DIY from Hayden. I'm sure she could teach you a thing or two". My mom walks to the fridge totally unaware of the thick tension in the room as I walk to a laughing Hayden and whisper "she has no idea what you can teach me".
