Human

Chapter Six: A Twin Bond

A Twins Bond

I tossed the phone onto the bed, a sigh escaping me. I had just finished talking to one of my friends from Arizona, causing me to miss it more than I originally thought I would. Of course, I knew that moving and living down here was going to be different than just coming to stay for a couple of weeks or 2 months.

Still, barely two weeks had passed since I had last been there or talked to one of my friends.

Slipping my feet into a pair of boats, I made my way out of my room and downstairs. I still had a few hours before I had to go on this 'date' with Mike.

My father and Bella were still mad at me as I had managed to avoid the 'talk' that they wanted to have the night before because Jacob and Billy had swung by. Billy, making sure that he was stilling going fishing, and Jacob cause he wanted to make sure that Bella was fitting in.

I found it funny, and slightly cute, that Jacob seemed to be crushing on my twin sister. It was like he was slowly becoming a man after all. Only I didn't like the thought of the two of them ending up together.

I could only imagine having little Bellas running around. The town of Forks and La Push would no longer exist, I fear. I'm sure they would take Bella's trouble magnet and clumsiness over Jacob's, well Jacobness.

Walking into the kitchen I saw Bella washing the last of the dishes. "Your hands all wrinkly yet?" I asked, leaning against the door frame with an amused look on my face.

Bella looked up with a look of surprised. "Did you finally decide to talk?" She asked, ignoring my question with one of her own. "Or are you going to continue refusing our help?"

I can't kill her, I repeated in my head. She's my loveable younger twin sister.

"What do you want me to say, Isabella." I snapped, straightening my poster. "That I had a dream that felt so real that I felt like I was suffocating! That it felt so real that I'm too afraid to sleep without it happening again?" I snarled, anger controlling my words. "I died.... I died in the dream and it felt so real. I could feel myself dying..." My anger vanished in a matter of seconds as tears peaked at my eyes.

Bella froze staring at me while unable to say anything. Was she going to comfort me? No probably not because it wasn't Bella's strong suit and she wouldn't know what to say.

Was she going to tell our dad? Probably, she knew that he would do something for me.

Turning I fled, unable to withstand the look that appeared in her eyes. I didn't want pity. I didn't want to see her sadness and I didn't want her to bear this burden with me.

The front door slammed shut behind as my keys dangled from my belt. I wasn't sure where I was going but I knew that I had to get away from the house. Away from Bella's pitying look, and questioning stares.

Jumping into my car, my eyes fall onto the house before I started it up. Guilt filled me as I knew that I shouldn't have snapped at Bella like that. That I should have remained calm but how long could someone remain calm if they kept getting asked the same question.

Turning my attention back forward, I pushed the gas pedal and watched as the house disappeared from my rear-view mirror. I still had a few hours before I had to meet Mike and I already knew where our meeting was taking place. It wasn't like I was going to be late.

My hands gripped the steering wheel as I continued driving down the road. I watched as a car passed me, my eyes leaving the road for a second and looking in the rear-view mirror as the car struck a familiar chord in me. As my eyes fall back onto the stretching road in front of me, my body seemed to know what to do before my brain even registered what was happening.
