Issy's POV

"Why the heck is dad making us do this?!" I whine to Ava. I glance over at her in the mirror, she's concentrated on applying some blush to her cheeks. She's been unusually quiet ever since dad told us the idiot Dolan's invited us over for dinner.

"They are probably trying to be nice for once," she blurts. Her big eyes widen, as if she was shocked by her response. "...But they can't change what happened, I'll always hate them."

I just squint at her. I know my sister more than I know myself, and something clearly happened.

I put my hands on my hips and continue staring at her as she "adjusts her dress" for the hundredth time.

After a solid thirty seconds, I can tell she's just squirming not to spill the beans.

"WHAT!" She giggles.

Okay something is definitely up with this weirdo.

"Bish, SPILL!" I counter, snapping my fingers.

The shade of her cheeks are already rosy naturally, but even after some artificial blush, I can tell she's extremely embarrassed.

I realize she has applied an unusually excessive amount of makeup.

"Ava, you can trust me. Who the heckles will I tell?" I watch as her eyes finally find mine. "Nobody. I'm your freaking twin for heaven's sake, just tell me! You know you want to..." I wiggle my eyebrows.

She swallows hard.

"I think I have feelings for...for someone I shouldn't." Her eyes find the floor. Just as the possible suspects run through my mind, I see a tear fall down her cheek.

"It's okay, you can't control those emotions." I wrap my arms around her neck, holding tight to my sweet, innocent sister. My best friend. My bare shoulders soak with her tears as we hold each other.

Ava's POV

My heavy heart and throbbing head fall into my sister's embrace.

"It's Ethan." I whisper. "I'm a traitor!" My vision blurs again, and I notice my reflection in the mirror. My eyes fill with fresh tears, and my breath ragged.

Issy's hand had been slowly rubbing circles around my back, but stopped at my confession.

"When? Why?"

I inhale and exhale deeply, trying to calm my racing heart.

"I couldn't help it. I had a...dream last night. He's been on my mind all day. I feel so guilty, Issy!"

Ethan's POV

"I still can't believe she's coming," I think out loud.

"Yea I can't believe she hates you." Gray says sarcastically.

Dang, I didn't think he could hear me...

Ding-dong!

"Your princess is here!"

"Oh shut up Gray, so's yours!" I shove him out of the way as I basically fly down the stairs.

My heart almost stops at the sight of her in my own house. Her long hair is straight, eyes big and beautiful, and the little black dress hugs were body perfectly.
