*BEEP* *BEEP* From my mobile cut through the silence like a knife. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and checked the messages. It was from Kaila. What did she want?

Hey Babe, What are you and lover boy up to? Call me later yeah? Love ya, K xx

If only she knew. "So, what do we do now?" I finally said to Joey but he just sat there, looking out of the window opposite his bed. Motionless. "Ermm, Joey?" I said, giving him a nudge. Blinking, he turned to face me.

"I don't know, you tell me," He said, his eyes filled with concern.

"I guess we talk, get to know each other. We are twins and I've spent everyday for fifteen years hoping I would find you and here we are," I said, looking at the floor. 

"So have I but I never imagined it like this," He said as he stood up, walked over to the window and opened it. I stood up and grabbed his hand but he pulled away. How was I going to tell Kaila? What would Bev and Rob say? I couldn't tell them, it would change everything!

"We need to tell my care worker, he's downstairs. He has to know!" Joey said before rushing to open his door. Did I tell him not to? It did seem like the right thing to do. But I couldn't let him, not yet anyway. I needed this to be our secret just a while longer. I mean, I'd only just found him and now they were going to have to split us up again!

"Wait, you can't tell him, not yet anyway. They're going to split us up and we've only just found each other!" I pleaded, clutching his arm to stop him leaving. He pushed the door shut and sighed. "What's the matter?" I asked him as he turned and walked back over to the bed.

"It's just, I've never fallen in love and then the first time I do, I find out that we're twins. When I met you, I felt normal, like we'd known each other for years. But now, now I don't know how I feel! I mean, what do we do? I want us to be together, as twins, but I can't help being in love with you! I have to tell my care worker because in here, you can't have secrets!" He sighed, tears running down his cheeks. I went over and sat next to him. He pulled me towards him and hugged me. At that moment, searing pain travelled through my head and that's when it happened. The vision.
