The Zerrie Trap

Chapter Eleven

(Monica's P.O.V.)

I stare at the ceiling, thinking of what as happened today. Oh boy, I'm in trouble. I can't believe I agreed to do what Claire said just to protect my identity. Paige is going to hate me for this.

[Flashback]

"I'm not answering all those questions, but first please tell me that you won't tell my dad?"

Please say yes.

"Okay, but first you have to do me a favor." A smirk plastered her face again.

"And that is.." I gulped.

"You have to side with me," she grins. Hell no.

"What?"

"You have to side with me. Convince your sister that I'm meant for your dad." Okay, that's enough.

"No, there's a reason why we switched places. To get to know our other parents and to try to get them back together," I respond.

"Well if you're going to do that, at lease don't be biased. I love you dad and he loves me. Don't brainwash him to do what you like. You can't force love that's gone. There's a reason why your parents broke up. Let your dad choose who he wants to be with. If he chooses you mom then fine I'll accept that. But at lease be okay if your dad chooses me instead and if that happens, I want your sister to think of me as a good person so tell her that you like me," she says.

"So side with you by telling my sister that I like you? Ok, I could do that," I agree. "Also, don't be bias and let your dad choose who he wants and accept his decision if he chooses me," she crosses her arms, looking at me. I don't know what to think. This plan is over. How am I suppose to convince my dad now? I mean if dad found out about me, what would he do? Send me back to mom? Actually, he would do that and Claire would still get him. If I say yes, then there could be a way for dad and mom to get together. Wow, I'm a genius.

"Hello? Paige? I mean Monica. What's your answer? Is it a deal or not," she interrupts my thinking. I think for a moment again and told her my answer.

"Ok fine then. I'll try not to be biased and tell my sister that I like you."

"Oh good! Ya know, I like you better than your twin," Claire smiles, starting the engine and proceeding to driving. I turn to look outside thinking of  things I could tell my sister.

[End of Flashback]

I stand up, pushing the blankets off of me and exit my room to go to kitchen. For some reason I feel hungry. I walked downstairs, to the kitchen, turning the lights on, and grabbed cookies from the counter table to eat.

As I take a bite of my second cookie, I see dad awake heading in my direction. "What brings you here?" he says, starting a conversation. "I just wanted something to eat. Why are you awake?" I asked. "I wanted something to eat also," he responds, taking a cookie and eating it. I smile and eat mine too.

"Thank you, Paige," he starts.

"For what?"

"For being here for me and finally accepting Claire. I saw the way you talked to her, it didn't look forced and it looked like you enjoyed spending time with her," he smiles.

That's because I'm good at acting.

"No worries dad, today was fun and Claire is not so bad after all," I honestly said. Which was true, today was actually fun and spending time with him was the best part.

"Are you sure, you're my daughter? I never thought you would say that," dad laughs. Well I'm am your daughter, just your other one that you left with mom.

"Wow dad. I'm just trying to be nice."

"I'm joking. Thank you really. You don't know how happy I was today," he hugs me tightly.

Now I feel terrible. He actually likes Claire but because I want mom and dad together,I'm not thinking about what my dad wants. I'm being selfish and that isn't right. You know what, I'm not going to be biased and side with Monica. I'm going for what I believe in and that is accepting the fact that my dad is happy with her.

Also, I should think about my mom too. There is a reason why they broke up and I don't know that. Mom seems to be happy with her single life and that makes me happy too.

After all the hugging, we both went upstairs and walked back to our separate rooms. I went to my bathroom and brushed my teeth before I go to sleep.

Okay well that my boring. I'm soooo sorry guys. After so long, I finally update. To be honest, I don't really want to continue this because of the whole zerrie thing and I don't feel comfortable writing about them but I really want to finish this. I've loss interest in one direction a long time ago but I'm still a mixer. I support them still even though I am now into kpop and all. So things have changed.

Don't worry I'll try to update this from time to time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ARE READING!!!
