Chapter 8 {Explaining}

We pull up to the house, and I jump out, going over to Gwen and Joyce and hugging them tightly. "I'm so glad you guys are here." I say, snowflakes beginning to dot my hair. Gwen laughs softly. "Same here." I pull away in a full on grin. "Now you all have a lot of explaining to do." I say, turning to Adam with raised eyebrows. "Why me?" he cries. I roll my eyes, crossing my arms. "Oh, I don't know, maybe, by chance, how you found them! He pulls a pokerface before facepalming. I burst out laughing. "Now you get it." I say in between laughs. "Now let's go inside, it's freezing out!" We run up the front path, in my case limp, jumping the steps and flinging the door open. We fly through the doorway and flop onto the couch in a pile, laughing our heads off. Adam walks in a minute later, carrying my backpack that I left in the car, wheezing [WHEEZY].

"What do you carry in this, bricks!" He asks, dropping it so that it falls right on his left foot. "F*CK." He shouts, grabbing his foot and jumping up and down on his right foot, until he falls down in the staircase. We all burst out laughing, except Adam, and wiping tears out of my eyes, say, "Just a few." which makes us all crack up even more. He mockingly limps over and sits down in one of the armchairs. "Okay, you want explanations, so I'll give you mine." he begins. "I was watching the news-" "You watch the news?" I interrupt. He glares at me and I giggle, before he continues. "As I was saying, I was watching the news, and they were talking about 17 year old Gwen Maine and 16 year old Joyce Maine had been found on the side of a highway making they're way into the city. I recognize Joyce looking exactly like you besides the eyes, and your last name, so I called them and asked where they were." He looks to them, as they are sitting down regularly on the couch. "They replied they were at the adoption agency, so I drove over and asked to see them. I asked them if they knew a Jessica Maine and they said they were her sisters." He looks to me again. "That's all I know." He finishes.

"Well, now you guys have some explaining." I say, looking at them. "For one, where have you been for the past three years, and secondly, why have I never heard I had an identical twin sister!" Gwen clears her throat. "Well, remember how there was that huge blizzard back then, when we were vacationing in New York?" I nod my head. "Yeah, that was when you went missing, afterwards when we went skiing." She nods. "Well, I was on the hardest course, on the other side of the mountain, where there was no one else. What no one knew was that there was a small avalanche, and I got trapped under it a foot or two from the top." She starts explaining. "I managed to get myself out by some miracle about three hours later, after the place closed. I tried to get back to the other side of the mountain, but it was pretty much impossible, because it was the whole mountain range I the way and it was icy for the rest of the winter. So what I did was I headed south, all the way to the city. At that point I knew I would probably never see you again, so I decided I would jus try and live on my own."

"After about a month, I headed south again, this time with some actual food and water, and made it all the way to Virginia, where I found Joyce living with dad. I stayed there for about two and a half years, and then we ran away to go find you and it took us almost a year to get here, especially because we both got sick at one point, and that slowed us down." She finishes. "Dad had told us about a month before we left that you were with foster parents in Seattle." I grimace. "I hated them. They were one of the worst things that happened to me, besides mom dying and losing you." She smiles sadly and hugs me. "Don't worry, I won't leave again." I hug her back. I look at Joyce as I pull out of the hug. "So, what's dad like?" She smiles lightly. "He's nice, he treated me well and helped me get better grades on tests." I nod. Adam sighs lightly. "I'll go make some hot coco for us." he says awkwardly before getting up.

I turn to Joyce and give her a smirk. She shies away. "What?" I grin at her. "I just want to quiz you on pretty much, oh I don't know, everything!" She laughs. "Lay those questions on me girl!" I think for a second. "Favorite music group?" I say suddenly. "Imagine Dragons." I nod. "Favorite game?" She rolls her eyes. "Minecraft." I grin. "Favorite color?" she sighs. "Green, duh." I snap my fingers, remembering a few more. "Favorite Youtuber?" "SkyDoesMinecraft." "Favorite sport?" "Soccer." "Favorite class?" "Science." I lean back. "We. Are. Exactly the same." I say, laughing. "THIS IS AWESOME!" I shout. Gwen laughs. "Green is not a creative color." She sings. [you should all get that reference] We both spin and glare at her. "What did you say?" we say simultaneously. "Nothing." She says quickly. Me and Joyce give each other a look and nod before lunging at her. I pin her down and Joyce starts to tickle her, and she burst out in a giggle fit. "Okay, okay! I-I'm sorry!" She says between laughs.

We move away from her with triumphant looks on our faces. "That'll teach you for insulting the color of amazingness." Joyce says, and I grin, nodding in agreement. Just then Adam walks in slowly with a tray of hot chocolates. "What did I miss?" He asks, setting it down on the coffee table. "Oh nothing much, just a tickle war over the color green and me finding out that Joyce also has an identical personality to me." I reply. "Honestly, I almost called her Jess a few times, but because your names are so similar, I was able to play it off." Gwen laughs. "Hey!" Joyce exclaims, playfully shoving her as Gwen continues to laugh. I grin as I pick up my coco. I have the best sisters ever.
