Kate's POV: (Alexa's twin)

I glared at the boy that hit Blake. I knew what this meant. It meant Blake would take out his anger on me when we get home. He always does. I looked beside him and saw none other then my twin staring at me in surprise. What's she doing here? I thought she was dead? Blake said she was dead? We even had a funeral and I cried for months. During that time Blake was there to comfort me. His comfort brought feelings and then he convinced my parents to move me in with him while we both attended college. They didn't hesitate but that's when things got bad. Alexa leaving really put him in an angry mood all the time and he lashed out on me. He made me into her. He made sure I had scars. Even my left hip had a knife scar. All I remember him saying when he did it was, "I can make it to where no other man will EVER want to see your body Ally. Don't you ever try to cheat on me again." I tried to scream at him that my names not Ally, but he didn't listen. He never did. He was delusional.

"Kate?" A voice whispered bringing me out of my painful thoughts. For some reason, I felt hate towards her. I was so angry. She left. She left me to live with her boyfriend. She left me when I was the nerd at school. She left me when everyone thought she was dead. It seems that's all she's ever been good at. She's only good at leaving. Leaving me alone, to suffer. I've only ever been alone. I was the nerd at school because our parents couldn't afford me contacts or new clothes. No makeup or accessories. She was just like me until freshman year and she met some guy. She left us to be with him. She came back to school with contacts, makeup, new clothes, and the head cheerleader. She was happy. She was popular. Everything I wasn't. And now she's back? For what? To throw it in my face? But no. Now that I've met Blake, he bought me everything. He turned me popular. And if a little bit of pain gets me there then I think I'm okay with it.

"Don't you dare 'Kate' me!" I screamed. "You have no right to even say my name!" She looked taken aback by my outburst. She didn't expect the little nerd to overcome her. Didn't expect me to become better then her.

"Kate. Please. Listen-" I cut off her pleading.

"I hate you!" Blake was standing next me just staring at Alexa while her hand was tangled in the guy beside her. If I remember him from school correctly, his name was Ace. She tried to step forward but Ace pulled her back with their attached hands. She looked at him with what I assume a glare. I looked around us to notice we caused a crowd.

"I think it's time we leave." Ace said out loud to Alexa. Of course she would be lucky enough to have him. A hot guy with defined muscles. I'm pretty sure he goes to my college too but I could be wrong. Wouldn't I see Alexa there too if he did go? Now that I'm looking at Alexa, she looked different. More empty. Her muscles were more defined and her hair was longer. She really did look like my twin now. No one noticed at school though. We were to opposite. That probably explains the shocked faces of everyone.

"She's not going anywhere!" I looked to my side to see it was Blake that said that. Shock filled my face and before I knew what was happening he went to Ace with a punch but he successfully blocked it leaving me confused. Ace dodged each hit with ease and even caught the kicks he sent.

I was pulled out of their view by an arm on my elbow pulling me through the crowd towards the other end of the room. She stopped when we were a good distance and I looked at Alexa. I noticed her eyes were cloudy. Empty almost. Her shoulders were stuff like they were ready to snap. Her frown set on her face like it was a usual thing. This wasn't the happy cheerleader I once knew.

"Please tell me your not with him?" She begged holding both my hands. No wonder he said she was dead. She probably couldn't take their break up. She was probably crazy about him. I nodded anyways. "I am."

Her shoulders slumped and she looked defeated. She looked at my face hoping to find something probably to see if I was lying.

Alexa's POV:

I looked at her face for any injury. Something. I was hoping he didn't hurt her like he did me but that wouldn't make since. He wouldn't change. Right ? Why did she hate me? I don't understand.

"Why do you hate me?" I whispered looking down defeated. I can't stand thinking that she's being hurt like me. No wonder no one knew that I was dying inside. If I was as good of an actor as her then I wouldn't see it either. But I knew Blake. I knew that if she told me she would be hurt. And I couldn't stomach that.

"Are you kidding." She laughed an empty laugh. No amusement on her face. "You fu€king left! You left to live with your boyfriend, then you left me at school, and then you all up and left. Blake told everyone you were dead and right now I'm kind of wishing you were!" She yelled at me the turned and started walking back towards the crowd. I couldn't believe it. She thinks all that about me? I grabbed a napkin and pen on a nearby table and quickly wrote down my number. Then I walked back after her. No surprise she was helping a very bloody Blake off the ground. I folded the napkin and put it on my side under my bra strap and walked up to a bloody knuckled Ace. He looked angry, but when he saw me his anger slowly vanished. A smile showed up and he came over to me and picked me up in a tight hug. "Second thought, I want a dance with you in this stunning dress." He whispered in my ear. I giggled lightly almost forgetting about everyone in the room just by being in his arms. He had that effect on me. "Hey! Can y'all quit staring and get back to the party!" Ace shouted at the bystanders. Everyone slowly dispersed. I looked down and noticed Blake and Kate were no longer on the floor. The music came back on making me think maybe they turned it off when the arguments started. "May I have this dance?" Ace asked giving me a goofy bow and taking my hand.

"Of course my fine sir." I smiled and he led me to the dance floor where we slowly started a slow dance.

Hopefully this makes up for the short chapters.... Thanks for all the reads guys!
