Our Fate Under Stars

Chapter Twenty-Five

Hayden's P.O.V:

  I was barely able to process the information Holly just spilled. I look over at Ariana to see how she was taking it, she had tears streaming down her face, her hands were shaking and so were Holly's, her face was a mix of emotions, between shock, sadness, disappointment and worry.

In other situations, I would've killed the man who hurt my sister. But this? This was different. It was my best friend's brother, and to say he hurt her? I could not. He was there for her in her hardest times when I wasn't, I was so preoccupied dealing with whatever lame, useless bullshit I had going on to notice anything was wrong.

  I am disappointed in my twin sister for hiding something this big from me. But I feel even worse about myself for being such an asshole and not paying attention to the signs. Yeah we were both busy but, nonetheless we live TOGETHER for God's sake.

Ariana was frozen in place, her and Holly both holding hands, "P-Please s-say something..." my twin stutters breaking the tense silence. "Holly.." Ari begins, "I am so so sorry, I can't even begin to possibly imagine how you must feel, but I just want to say that your child will always live in you, they're part of you, you've dealt with something this huge with so much responsibility and patience, if I ever were put in such a position, I would have no idea how to deal with it; and I know that if he or she were here, they'd be incredibly proud of the strong independent woman you've become. I know I would."

She took a deep breath after speaking her mind, Holly was staring blankly at her before letting out a loud sob and crashing into her, they hug each other for a good five minutes, Ariana and I sneaking worried glances at each other.

  It was my turn now, "Holls, you and I have so much to talk about, starting with why you hid something so big from me, but now's not the time. I love you more than anything on this earth I don't ever want you to doubt that, I'll go through everything with you from now on. This baby.. Don't you ever lose hope. Don't you dare give up. I'm here, Ari is here, and I know Hunter is here, that's why next time he comes back I want you to call him, and we're all gonna talk, all four of us,  just like the family we are."

My sister was not sobbing alone now, Ariana joined in on the waterworks fest, those two girls in front of me, they're my life, they're the reason I have amazing stories to tell, they're the ones pushing me forward. I could never imagine my existence without either or both of  them.

Ariana's P.O.V:

  What Holly just told me put me in a deep hardcore shock. Not only do I feel like a horrible friend to her, but an even worse sister to the one person that means the most. I still can't believe my brother had been suffering alone, in silence, without anyone to support him, I can't even begin to imagine the way both Holly and Hunter felt. And to top it all with a red glossy cherry, the loss of our father happened, and all he did was be there for me. I feel selfish, ashamed of myself for being such a horrible sibling to the man who held me tight even before I fell, the person who picked up and assembled the missing pieces in my life.

  I knew now what I had to do, I had to stop crying, to get my shit back together because this was the time during which my friends and my brother needed me the most. I had to call Hunter, I know he'd just left for college again, and that he'd skipped a lot of his classes just to be here, and I repeat be here for ME, I couldn't tell him to just drop everything and come back, so I'll simply ask him about his next time off and whether or not he'll be able to come. If it wasn't possible then it'd be my turn to hop on a plane and be there for him.

  Weeks went by before I was able to book my flight to visit Hunter, and you want to know what's crazy? Living with Hayden and Holly has brought me closer to the both of them like never before. No I don't pay rent, but I added my name to the chores list, I'm mainly in charge of laundry, grocery shopping and obviously cleaning my own room. It's almost like... everything went back to normal.

  One thing that I'm unable to get off my mind, Hayden. Him and I.. we've been acting like a couple but he hasn't asked me out yet and it's confusing because I don't know what we are. I mean, if I'm preparing food, he comes up to me from behind, brushes the hair away from my neck and gives the skin a long lasting kiss, or when we're watching a movie and I'm suddenly on his lap, and we're suddenly making out and Holly suddenly interrupts us. I'm unsure of where it might lead, but one thing I am sure of.. Hayden and I need to talk, ASAP.

Writer's note:

It's been a while, I know. I've just been drowned in school work and it's been horrible. I am sad to announce that this story is coming to an end. I don't know exactly how many chapters are left, I'm still working on planning the finale. I'm gonna miss this so much T-T. Thank you for following through xoxo
