I plonked myself down next to Harry, resting my head on his shoulder.

" That was sooo tiring." I said, watching Vik being chased by JJ on a Segway.

Stuff of nightmares. After completing a long day of filming, we had all met back at the Sidemen house. We were currently all sitting in the lounge, just lazing about.

" Coming from a fitness enthusiast," Harry winked with a shake of his head.

" Its not like I enjoy fitness, I have to do it for work." I laughed.

" Excuses!" Harry said, poking me in the ribs.

" Oi, mate!"

" Oh my days, you sounded like such a New Zealander right then." Harry exclaimed, eyes widening in fake shock.

I covered my mouth with my hand as if what he had said was terribly shocking.

" Wow, expect your phone to start ringing any moment." I stated seriously. Harry glanced at his phone, obviously confused by my words

"Ah, there it goes now." I said, pointing at it. Harry frowned. His phone wasn't ringing, and I could see the cogs spinning in his brain as he tried to work out what I was going on about.

" I'll get it for you then." I sighed, picking up Harry's dormant cell phone.

Harry's brow creased further as he watched me talk into the blank phone.

" Hello, yes, that's incredible! I shall let him know immediately!! He will be ecstatic! Yes, astonishing discovery I know. Thank you. Good bye!" I finished, placing the phone back next to Harry. I looked at him seriously, folding my hands in my lap.

" Mr. Harry, I have amazing news for you." I started. Harry glanced at Tobi, his expression asking if he was seeing my odd behavior.

" You have been awarded the Nobel Science Prize." I declared, clapping.

" Huh?" Harry said, confused. I continued to clap, standing to my feet.

"The discovery of the century, you have mad-"
I was cut of by a familiar voice.

"Put the poor boy out of his misery, little sister."

I gasped, Harry completely forgotten as I turned to face the source of the voice.

My eyes widened as I saw who it was. Rory was standing before me in the flesh, a bag slung of his shoulder and water dripping from his raincoat.

"Hello stranger."

"Rory!" I squealed, jumping up from the couch. A flurry of emotions were running through me. Shock was the major one as I pulled him in for a tight hug.

" What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? How have you been?"

"Settle!" Rory laughed at my bombardment of questions.

" How'd you get here? I thought you were over in NZ!" I cried, pulling back from my brother.

"I was in the area, and I thought I'd better stop in."

"Thanks man!" I cried, giving Rory a massive hug. He had no idea how stressful the past few days had been for me. The whole Skype streaming thing, revealing ourselves to the Internet had not been easy. If it hadn't been for the support of my British friends, I would've truly struggled.

"We need to have a chat." I said seriously to Rory once I pulled back again. I think he realized I wasn't such a fan of his sudden decision. Rory glanced around the gathered boys before muttering.

"Later."

I frowned slightly at my brother, but decided to ignore the way he shrugged me off.

"Guys, this is Rory." I introduced my brother to the group. He smiled, stepping forwards with a wave.

It wasn't till Rory stepped away from the door did I notice a girl hanging round behind him. Who was she? Rory had never mentioned a girl before. Maybe she was one of the guys' friends.

Rory seemed to catch my confused gaze, and grabbed the girl by the elbow, pulling her forwards to present her.

She was tall, skinny, and looked like she could be on the cover of vogue magazine. With her high cheekbones, startling blue eyes and long wavy hair that looked so perfect, it had to be fake, she was simply stunning.

Trust Rory to be pulling all the hot girls in the vicinity. He just had to flash them the inside of his wallet, or a quick glance at his channel and he had them wrapped around his little finger.

Rory had a thing for pretty things, and here he had found one of the prettiest of them all. I didn't miss the way some of the guys looked at her, and I felt a pang of jealousy as I caught Simon checking her out. I mean, understandably. If I was attracted to girls, I would certainly be attracted to her. She was gorgeous.

Rory coughed to clear the silence brought on by the appearance of the girl.

"Lucy, this is Melissa." Rory said, putting his arm around her.

"She's my girl friend." He added. Since when? It took a large amount of effort for me to keep my mouth from falling open. Rory, with a girlfriend? He'd never been serious with a girl before. I didn't agree with his usual method of hit it and quit it, but I also didn't agree with this sudden change.

"She's the real reason I came here." Rory said, staring at Melissa with puppy dog eyes. His words cut right into me. He had come to London to see this girl? Not his twin? I felt a mixture of anger and shock mixing in my stomach. I hadn't seen Rory properly in forever, and it was apparent he only had eyes for someone else. What happened to family before anything?

"Anyways, we're heading out now, but we can catch up later." Rory grinned, dropping his bag by the door. I frowned at him, in complete shock. Was he really just going to walk in here, then walk right back out again?

"Wait, Rory!" I cried, confused by his actions.

I felt a presence behind me before a familiar arm wrapped round my shoulder. I glanced at Simon as he pulled me into his side protectively. He could probably sense my building stress. Rory glanced between Simon and I.

"Is there a problem?" Melissa asked, her voice greasy. Yik! How could someone so pretty have such a terrible voice? Maybe she smoked or something.

"I would like to spend the night with my boyfriend, thank you very much." She continued, pulling Rory back towards the front door.

"Rory!" I cried, going to step forwards. Simon stopped me, holding me tight against him.

"Just let him go." He whispered into my ear, giving my shoulder a rub.

"Don't wait up for me." Rory laughed before whisking himself and his new arm candy out of the door.

Tears were creeping into my eyes as he slammed the door behind him. Why was he being like this? How had someone I had known so well changed so much? Rory wasn't Rory anymore. It was like a stranger had just interrupted my life.

"Are you alright?" Simon asked, dropping away from me. I immediately swayed without his tall frame to lean on. Had that really just happened? The boys behind me were silent as they took everything in.

I shook my head, not saying anything in response to Simon.

My stomach had completely dropped from my stomach, my heart twisting up. Rory had never been like that to me. Never. I sniffed, rubbing at my eyes before brushing past Simon, heading up to my room. I just needed some space to take in the past few minutes. I felt like I had been betrayed. 

Betrayed by my own twin.
