It's weird that if I was a couple years older than Luke my life would be completely different, I would be completely different. Instead of waiting till 12.01 for mine and my twin's birthday, I could be in a house, by myself worrying about the bills and how my insubstantial wage from my dodgy job was going to cover them for another month.
The thoughts that were beginning to spin out of control, as I stared at my plain white ceiling, were interrupted by someone tapping and opening my door.
It was Luke, we did this every year. On the eve of our birthday one year, when we were children, there was a lightning storm. Luke came rushing into my room after I cried to him through our walkie-talkies. I clung to him crying and he calmed me down. Then from every year onwards Luke came into my room at 12.00 and we waited for 12.01 together, each wanting to be the first person to wish the other a happy birthday. The boys know about our weird little tradition and don't text us birthday wishes till 12.02 every year, like clockwork. On our 11th Christmas we both got cell-phones, Calum got one iswell so every year since we were 12, Calum has text at 12.02. It's a tradition, it'd be weird if he didn't now.
Luke saw I was awake and hugged me. "I can't wait till I'm 18. I'm kind of scared too though." Luke admitted, "Me too." I said, thinking about all the responsibility that would be on us now. I glance at my clock, Luke and I are still holding each other, such is tradition. It's almost 12.00, Luke and I are almost adults, such a difference a year makes. Last year adulthood seemed so far away. Now it's right around the corner. Luke and I took our last breath as 17 year olds, and the alarm on my phone went off at 12.01. Luke and I stared at each other for a while at arms length. Trying to find differences I suppose, from the teens we saw 2 minutes ago to the adults we see now. " Happy Birthday sis." Luke said in a hushed tone, "Happy Birthday Luke," I replied with an equal bittersweet tone in our voices we both smiled when Calums message came through, like always at 12.02.
