Double The Trouble

Chapter 10

Lilyana

I was staring at the ceiling, just trying to think of ways that I can do this successfully. Because I'm not sorry for what I did to myself. I'm not going to stop starving myself. I need this, I can control this. I won't stop until I'm happy with myself.

I felt someone towering over me, and there she stood, I cowered in shame,  I didn't want anyone to see me looking weak. I wasn't inferior to anyone, at least that's what I wanted the world to believe. She opened her mouth to talk,

"Lily baby girl.... I'm so sorry. I'll do anything to make you believe me. I love you so much more than you know. I'd never do anything to hurt you, I swear on my own life." I placed my hand on top of her's comfortingly. I wanted to let her know that everything was all right, that I loved her in not so many words because it hurts to talk.

"Hug me please." My dry throat begged.

"I love you so much baby girl please know that" she threw her arms around me and kissed my head. I felt so okay, for the first time in years I felt like I didn't have to die to find peace; because I found it right here in Demi's arms, she's my mom, and I knew in my heart that she was, no, she is and she forever will be a better mom than Helen could ever amount to be.

"I love you so much." I was too afraid to call her mom or even Demi, I didn't want to strike up any bad feelings, I just needed to move on.

"You want to put this behind us? Forget it ever happened and just be a happy family?"

"I'd love that." She released me from her embrace and I felt so cold and alone... so empty. My insides was screaming please don't let me go but my voice wouldn't let the words come out.

"I'm so glad you're back sissy. Do-don't you ever leav-ee me again okay?" I didn't notice my twin brother sitting at the side of my bed crying silently. "I-I thought I lost you. I was so scared. I-I need you don't ever forget that." I wanted to throw my arms around his waist and squeeze him so tightly and let him know that he never left my mind and I love him and everything I ever wanted to say to him, I really wanted him to know how much he means to me. But I'm feeling way too weak to even blink so I just nodded and whispered

"They always say twin girls have more fun but I wouldn't trade you in for the world. I love you forever Brubba" I smiled at him.

I started closing my eyes; feeling too drowsy to be awake. My breathing evened and I felt sharp nails poking at my side.

"I'm not going to let you pass out again. Drink some Orange juice to help you replenish all that blood you just lost."

I opened my mouth to speak but I froze I was deadly quiet I didn't know what to say I didn't want to say anything to be honest I was scared.

"Seen a ghost?" The man chuckled.

"Afraid so." I mumbled slowly

"Logan? Lilyana? Are you two okay?" Demi asked completely shocked by our sudden change in mood.

"Don't you remember me? It's daddy!" He spoke cheerfully, spooking me.

"That's what I'm scared of." Logan and I said in unison.

"What the hell is happening here?" Logan pulled out his phone to go on Facebook to search Dominic Estevez.  The images show a man that looks completely identical to the man in front of us. "Woah. Babe, this is extremely freaky." Demi spoke once she saw the pictures of our father.

He stepped closer to us and I wrapped Logan's arms around me even though I know he couldn't protect me.

"I know you guys aren't looking to replace your father, and I'm probably the last person you'd want to be your dad, but I love you two unconditionally already. I just want the two of you to give me a chance." He said uneasily. After a few moments of intense silence a voice filled the hospital room.
