Sister Switch - One Direction fanfiction

Chapter 12

Sky’s P.O.V.

The phone rang downstairs. Normally I’m not supposed to get it but I was bored, really bored and I needed a distraction from Harry.

I picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Hi. This is Louis Tomlinson I really need to speak to Sky.”

I tried my hardest not to burst into tears. “She... doesn’t exist.” It was hard for me, lying to my best friend but I couldn’t tell the truth or there would be a huge mess of trouble.

“Please, it’s urgent.”

“She doesn’t exist.” I said as firmly as I could,

“It’s a matter of life and death.” He sounded deathly serious.

“I..uh... who’s death?”

“Harry’s.” At that I almost fainted, He continued. “Please, let me talk to her.”

“You’re.. you’re... you’re talking to her.”

“Sky?”

“It’s me.”

“But Sydney’s at some charity event.”

“I’m not Sydney.”

“But... what?”

“My name is Skylar. I’m Sydneys twin sister.”

he gasped. “Then Harry’s been dating you?”

“Yes.” I said quietly.

“But why were you impersonating her?”

“Because right before the movie premiere she got hit by a car and I had to pretend to be her so her career wouldn’t end.”

“You were Sydney?” He asked still in shock.

“Yeah. You can’t tell anyone.Now what’s wrong?”

“Harry’s in the hospital. He-”

“What happened?” I asked urgently.

“He..um... well he has hypothermia and the doctors say he’s not really trying to fight it and if he doesn’t fight it then-”

“He’ll die.” I said solemly, suddenly understanding. Harry needs me.

“Exactly. I think if he hears your voice then he’ll try. Please Sky it’s his only chance.”

“Where are you?”

“London Bridge Hospital.”

“I’ll be there as soon as I can.” I hung up the phone and logged onto the home computer to purchase plane tickets to London.

“Whatcha doing?” Beth asked from behind me. I had a mini heart attack as I had no idea she was home.

“Is mom home?”

“No, just me.”

“I need a favor.”

“What?”

“Find me airplane tickets to London. Make them for as soon as possible!”

“Why?”

“No questions just do it! I gotta go pack!”

I ran up to my room, pulled out my small black rolling luggage and began frantically throwing stuff in it.

“Sky, I found one!” Beth called from downstairs.

“Good.”

“But it leaves in an hour.”

“I’ll be ready. Book it!”

I threw the rest of my crap into the luggage and changed into a pair of jeans and my favorite hoodie.

“Booked it!” Beth yelled from downstairs.

“The next thing you can do is find my passport, please.”

I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, grabbed my purse and headed downstairs luggage in tow. I pulled on my favorite black and white high top converse.

“Here.” Beth handed me my passport and everything else I would need for an international flight.

“I need to leave now.” I reminded her. I gave her a quick hug. “I’ll call you at the airport and explain everything!” I yelled as I jumped into the cab she’d called for me. “I love you!” I yelled as the cab pulled away.
