Don't Tell Your Mother

Chapter 4

It's Jasmine here! Thanks for reading our book! :) Oh and Vote, comment and fan us! (Duhh) Now on to the story! (btw i wrote this chap by myself, lex helped with some of Kallie's dialog though!)

Unity's POV:

I sit up in bed looking around wildly, 'Why the hell am I in my bed?'  I thought to myself before remembering last night I roll over onto my side and see that Kallie's bed is empty, I stifle a yawn.

I push myself up and look around, I realize that she must be in the washroom, I sigh and watch as the washroom door opens and Kallie walks out. She forces a smile, I return the favour, okay so it was pretty pathetic but we were both dreading what will happen once mom leaves so it wasn't our fault.

I see that she is wearing the pink dress that mom wants us to wear, I pick the dress up off the floor and carry it to the bathroom, "I'll be out in a sec." I sigh before closing the door shutting it.

I hop into the shower after undressing, leaving my pajamas in a heap on the floor, I turn the water on hot and shiver when the water starts to pour down on my body. It stuns my sore discoloured skin but I went to getting my hair wet. I pour a ton of shampoo onto my head and rub it in. I turn to the water is hitting my back and I watch the soap drip from my long hair.

Once I finished cleaning myself I rinsed the soapy residue off and instead of getting out right away turn turn the tap to cold, it instantly changed the temperature, I tilt my face up towards it closing my eyes and I let the water hit me in the face. I turned it off and stepped out wrapping a towel around my body, I shiver when the cold air hits me.

I try myself off than pull my dress on over my head, the dark purple was a shock against my pale skin, I left my hair down and begin to apply my make up watching the bruises slowly disappear. When they were gone I put on a bit of eye shadow, purple and light grey eye shadow than black mascara.

I step back and look at myself in the mirror, with a quick nod I open the door, "When does mom leave Kallie?" I ask my twin, she is sitting on the edge of her bed twisting her hair with her finger.

"I think she's supposed to leave tonight." She says glancing at me.

I groan, "So we have to wear these stupid dresses all day?" I shudder, "They're pressing down on my ribs, I can only imagine what it's like for you."

".." Kallie stays quiet for a minute, "I guess so." She keeps to a minimal amount of words.

"Alright we might as well go make breakfast, can you eat today?" I walk over to the door but don't open it yet.

"I'll try but I can't promise anything." She says looking down at her feet.

"It's not your fault you can't eat anything, you just need to try." I walk over to her and pull her in for a hug, "I wish I could do more but I can't." My voice cracked but I brushed it off. "Come on, let's go eat." I walk to the door throwing it open I walk downstairs with Kallie on my heels.

I walk into the kitchen and see mom sitting at the breakfast bar, the sun light streams through the door that leads into the backyard, it came form behind her giving her a kind of glow, "Where's dad?" I ask, I look around but don't see him.

"Oh he's at work, he had to go to the office early, don't worry, Unity, You'll have l plenty of time to spend with your dad when i'm gone." I made a face, have because of the use of that gay nickname that she thinks is 'cute' and half because she thinks I want to spend time with dad.

I walk to the cupboard pulling out a box of rice crispies, Kallie hands me two bowls and I pour the cereal into them, she swerves around me and pours the milk, I hear mom laugh at us, "Well i'm glad that you two are speaking with each other again, you two really are twins, each other's other half."
