parallel lines

end

"Congratulations! You have found your Parallel Partner, Mr. Dean Barnes. Meet Ms. Alex Hill."

They just started at each other. Dean was fuming. Eli can practically see his blood boiling. Eli felt tears running down her face. She tried to click the find button of the app but a pop up window telling them that she already found her Parallel Partner was the only thing that kept popping up. Eli dropped down to the floor and cried. Dean immediately knelt beside her and hugged her. He raked his fingers into her hair in an attempt to calm her down.

"What will happen now, Dee?"

As Dean was hugging her, their doorbell suddenly rang. Dean let go of her to open the door and they were met by a stressed looking Dylan. Dylan hugged his twin and looked at Eli who was still crying on the floor.

Dean pulled Eli up and led her to sit on their couch. "Who were you partnered with, bro?" Dylan asked. Dean shrugged. "I don't know her but I was told that her name's Alex." Eli cried harder. Dylan looked sad. "I am so sorry, Eli. I didn't know this would happen." Eli shook her head.

"You are not to blame here, Dylan. I know that you like someone else. How are you feeling?" Dylan sighed and a tear rolled down his eyes. "He was paired with someone else, too, Eli. I knew it was impossible for the both of us to be paired since we are both men, we can't really reproduce and populate. But still, I was hoping."

Eli hugged Dylan and they cried together. Dean was quiet and thinking.

"Does that boy love you too, bro?" Dylan nodded and wiped his tears away. "We were actually starting to plan our life together. Where we will live and where we'll get married. But suddenly, this project happened and all our plans and dreams were destroyed."

"Do you guys want to escape?"

Dylan and Eli looked at Dean as if he grew another head. Dean shrugged as if unbothered bu the situation. "But we will be criminals then. They will hunt us down. Our faces will be shown to the whole country."

"But we will be together with our loved ones. Don't you think its worth the risk? worth the fight?"

Dylan froze and seemed to consider. He immediately pulled his phone and dialed Sam's number. Meanwhile, Eli and Dean looked at each other before they both went to their bedrooms to fill their bags with their clothes. They heard the doorbell ringing and they assumed it was Sam. When they went out their room, they saw Sam and Dylan share a passionate kiss before Sam handed Dylan his baggage.

They left the apartment and went to a near bank. They all withdrew their moneys from their accounts so the won't need to use their bar codes again. They all rode Dean's jeep and quitely prayed.

That may God help them with their escape.
