Today my life will be alterd for good. I stood in the bathroom staring at my reflection. I was mesmerized with the underside of my left breast. The scar was about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. I ran my finger along the scar and all the memory's that I tried so desperately to forget came flooding back, almost pulling me back under until there was banging at the door. " Vi what the hell are you doing in there?" My twin sister Eliza shouted. "Can you give me a minute, damn!" I said dropping my hands quickly. "I swear to god Divine Marie Evans if you don't get your slow ass out the bathroom now I'm going to come in there and beat you shitless". I grabbed my Nike shorts and pink shirt throwing them on as quickly as possible before Eliza brakes the door down. I swear she has some anger issues. I pull my long black hair up into a bun. I really have been meaning to do something different with it but I can't figure out what I want yet. I open the bathroom door to find Eliza standing in the hallway of our once shared apartment with her arms folded across her chest. "Damn, took you long enough. I almost thought you were doing more than just getting dressed". She says gesturing her eyebrows in a accusing way. "Eww your gross" I say slapping her arm. "Hey, I wouldn't blame you" Ze says while walking into the bathroom with her toiletries. I shake my head.
Me and Eliza have always been close since birth. Our dad left us when we still in the womb basically leaving my mom with absolutely nothing, but us. Our mother had to work three jobs just to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Long story short, me and Eliza have always had to depend on each other. That's why when Ze informed me that we got accepted to the university of Las Vegas, Nevada I had no choice but to go. I mean it's not like she is forcing me to go. We had been wanting to start fresh ever since everything in our life went down hill a year ago but that's another story. Anyways we had made a list of our five top colleges and agreed that we'd both apply to each others choices. My top choice that I had my hopes set on was Washington State University. But the deal was what ever college accepted us both first we would go to. Of course Ze's choice was the one to accept us first, but I'm pretty used to it by now because Ze seems to always get what she wants without even lifting a finger. Ze is always the fearless, outgoing sister and me well, I'm the complete opposite. I never thought of our "new beginning" to be in Las Vegas better known as the city of SIN!
******************************
We were leaving today so we had to finnish the rest of the packing. When I say we I mean I had to finnish the rest of the packing and loading. Finally I got the last box in the trunk, I closed it exhaling a huge breathe. " Great work" I say to myself. "Took you long enough" Ze said coming up behind me. "Fuck Ze, you scared the shit out of me!" I turned to see Ze fully dressed wearing high waisted shorts and a blue cropped top. "It would have went faster if you helped" I say while climbing into the passenger seat. "Oh don't get your panties in a wad" she says while starting the car. I flip her off and she just laughs it off like always. She puts the car in reverse and heads towards the freeway. I look behind me at the tiny shitty amarpents that were my life since I was born and as Eliza sped off into the un-know I knew that we were never stepping foot in Lafayette, Louisiana again.
