Falling | Chicken Girls The Movie

Chapter Seven

"Are we there yet?" Ace asked me this question a million times.

"Yes." I took his hand leading him to the hill. I sat down patting the spot next to me. The view is amazing.

"Wow." Ace said awestruck.

"I always come here to get away or be alone. It's like my own place. I never told anyone about it except now." I said looking out. From here you could see the whole place. Everything looked so small from here.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ace questioned.

"I wanted to show you it, but I also wanted to tell you something I thought it would be easier to say it here." I took a deep breath. "I asked my brother if I can tell you this. He said it's okay."

He squeezed my hand."me and Ethan are twins I'm the older one. Only by a few minutes. Our mom walked out on us when we were five. We were heartbroken. We were there for each other. We helped each other since that day we became closer after that. Our dad took care of us. We never told anyone. When people asked us about our mother, we wouldn't say anything or we would change the topic. We hated talking about it, we thought if we told someone they would leave us like mom did. It was harder for Ethan. He was a mama's boy while I was and still am a daddy's girl. People gave up on asking us that. Lydia found out when she heard us talking about it. We didn't know her then."

"She told us that her dad walked out on her and her mother. Lydia is a few years older, but she still became my best friend. When we were ten we were in a car accident. I broke my left leg, it took me long time to recover I was also in a coma I woke up after two months. My brother was also in a coma he had a few cuts and bruises. He woke up a few months ago. When people asked me about him, I ignored it. We were always in different schools so not a lot of people asked. My dad was badly bruised, he healed after almost three months. A month went by when I woke up from the coma I started feeling pain, like someone was stabbing me. We went to the doctor they weren't sure, but they had a theory."

"It was that we were connected. If one of us felt something strongly not only pain, but emotions also the other would feel it too. For example I'm very happy, my brother would know, if I was in love he would know." Tears were flowing down my face. Ace hugged me close to him.

"The doctors said if Ethan died in the coma, I probably wouldn't feel anything anymore, no sadness, no happiness, no disappointment, no pain, no anything. They also said if he wakes up our bound would be stronger, or it would get worse."

"Remember when we went to the senior center. I found my grandmother from my mother's side. She told me a few things like my parents got married at 18 and had us two years later."

Ace held me till I calmed down. I was happy I took my make up out before.

"Thank you Ace." I said sitting back at my place. My face no longer looked like I was crying.

"Huh?" Ace questioned confused.

"Thank you for staying with me." I said.

"Always, I love you Dylan Hunt." He said looking at me.

I didn't know what being in love was like. Yesterday I asked Lydia what was it like, everything she said I felt towards Ace. She also told me that I'll just know when I am, but it may take a while. I now know I'm in love with my best friend/boyfriend. I'm pretty sure Ethan's feeling my emotions, but right now I didn't care about that. Right now I care about Ace and this moment we're having.

"I love you too." I told him being completely honest. We're kids we're not suppose to be in love, but we are. Ace leaned forward kissing me softly. I didn't hesitate to kiss back. This is perfect. I love being with him.

Maybe this is my happy ever ending. Maybe Ace is my happy ever ending.
