My Growing Heartache

Chapter 11: My Other Half

I finally reach my Aunt Rhonda's, and I can already sense my demise.

"Catch you later, my beautiful life." I whispered to myself as I walked up the walkway. I reach the house and knock on the door. When the door opens I see my favorite cousin of all times!

Her name is Karissa, but we call her rissa. Almost everybody in my family has a nickname seeing as how my dad's side is Jamaican. That's why my dad's sister, and my aunt, Rhonda is crazy cause she's Jamaican!

"Rissa! Oh my goodness! It's been forever! I missed you!" I practically screamed, hugging her.

"I know right! Mommy decided that since you were coming to stay, you might want my company so she transferred my school to here and flew me here from Jamaica. Come in and tell me about everything."

We walked in as she helped me with my clothes and we went to the room we'd be sharing.

As I brought her up to date about the things that are going on in my life, I couldn't help but notice how alike we look.

"Rissa, do you think we could pass as twins?"

"Kenz, what do you mean?"

"Come with me."

I led her to the bathroom and stood right next to her in the mirror. She had a shocked look on her face as the sudden realization dawned on her. We had to be twins. There's no doubt about it.

"Mommy!" She called.

"Yes?" Aunt Rhonda answered, entering the bathroom.

"Me and Kenz, we look exactly alike. Are we....twins?"

Everything was happening so fast. I never thought I would ever have another sibling. Let alone, a twin! As my 'aunt' Rhonda answered yes, I fainted. This was just way too much for my body to handle.
