Chapter 4: Replaced?

 They could've been what they what to each other, without having to be forced. Or could they?

Their lungs were so inflated with devastating and constant gasps, that they felt their hearts squeezing itself into a tight position of their chest. Their nerves were also swollen from shock as well.

It was hard to express one's emotions in a state of shock, especially when one's father is in a relationship with the mother of his lover.

Jason showed Nina various ornaments in his little house tour. Upstairs, in the hallway, while they both tried to their emotions- particularly Jason- as he pointed out different objects while blabbering like a lecturer, Nina followed him and endlessly stared at him with every movement he took. When Andrew and Danielle-who were downstairs in the kitchen- were out of sight from Jason and Nina, it was the time when they broke it out.

No eyes saw them; No ears heard their lips. It was the ideal moment for them to express each other's feelings. For when they had seen each other at the front door, their tongues were dry of saliva.

"Okay, that's a vase and over there, we have the bathroom, and here we have a nice picture frame and- okay that's it. What the fu-"

"I know! I can't believe it either!" Nina exclaimed.

Jason's brain scrambled with one trillion questions. "Did you know about this?"

"No, all she told me was that she met him at work and that 'him' is your father!"

"That's your mother?!"

They felt embryonic and were at the summit of shock. In unison, they didn't know what other choice was available. That was until Nina had something in her head. Something that was fascinating for her future. Something that was out of this world. Something that was advantageous to their scenario. She realized it would have a benefit to them, for better or for worse.

"I fucking can't believe this is happening... this is unbelievable," Jason held his head, "do you even know this means to us? Nina, you're my... step-sister!"

She held her breath, "I-I can't believe it either... should we tell them?"

"What?! NO! IT'S THE FIRST DAY THEIR VISITING EACH OTHER!"

"Well, when are we gonna tell them?" Her voice softened.

"NEVER!! YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN. DO YOU THINK THEY'LL BE OKAY WITH THIS?! WE CAN CAUSE HAVOC IF THEY EVER FIND OUT! AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT FROM COMMON SENSE!"

Definitely, they had no other choice. Nina thought of what could've happened to them. From all the predictions in her head, each of them made her fearful of becoming reality. Despite their situation, that wasn't the only thing that made her heart feel sentimental.

She knew Jason's tone of voice wasn't meant any source of anger towards her, but she had a sense of how Andrew's voice tongue used to sound like. It was just as he had described it to her one day, and she suddenly feared that truculent manner was entering his body.

"I understand now," her voice softened from normal to a mumble, "especially with that tone of yours."

She wore her face of fear and depression. He was dreaded of seeing his anger thriving as nothing ordinary before. At least he noticed it. But could it have gotten worse?

He gasped with shock, "What have I become? Nina, I wasn't arguing."

"Don't worry, I know you weren't. But make sure it doesn't get worse. You have me worried!"
