the sleepover

"hey look what my mom gave me for my birthday " i said pulling out the book from underneath the floorboards "wait but didn't she like die or something ?" layla asked "or something yeah she definitely became a zombie ust to give this to me  " i said which caused the both of us to start laughing . "you know what i mean  " she said trying to calm down but miserably failing . "yeah i do haha , she left it for me before she died till i turned 16" i said then one f my old stuffed animals went flying and hit me in the head  " you said you'd get me cake you big liar " emma said in the doorway of my closet "uhhh what the fuck is that more or less who is that ?" layla asked all confused " that layla is my new ghost friend emma  , scared the shit out of me earlier " i said "and girl i didnt i moved it to my desk so neither my friend or i would sit in it you goob " i added , emma moved her glance over to the desk and she had a big smile and ran over to the desk and started eating the cake " i thought ghosts couldn't eat anything mine just fucking stares at it then says that he doesn't want it , then gets pissed off when i end up eating it " layla said chuckling a bit " oh jack yeah he never has an appitite ever " emma said  with a huge chunk of cake in her mouth "that's why you look so familiar your that little girl that stole like half my food " layla said and emma just nodded "any ways so whats in the book ??" layla asked getting eager to see whats inside. i just shrugged and just said  " i have no idea i havent opened it yet but i've been quite curious about it as well " i looked at it and opened it too the first page " what that ? " layla asked pointing to a blue and orange necklace that had blue eyes on it , it was tapped to the page with a note under it "idk ill read the little note on it , it says  'Evil eye : protects the wearer from hexes a person has put on you the wearer when one of the eyes moves it means the hex has failed and the evil eye has protected you from it' hmm interesting you mind helping me put it on ?" i asked  layla nodded with a smile and suggested me to turn around so i did ,she placed the cold necklace on my neck i drew a sharp breath layla let out a small chuckled at my reaction and clipped the clasps together  "there all set , it looks nice on you not gonna lie " she said. i stood up too go and look at myself in the mirror " that it does" i said fidgeting with it a bit but before i finished fidgeting my vision went blank and was transported to some sort of memory 

memory :

a young girl stood in the middle of some sort of victorian styled kitchen but she was in modern day clothing 'its my mother ' i thought to myself ' a man that looks a couple years older than her was stomping around the kitchen in circles "how could you nora , with my own brother nora really " he said stopping mid tracks "what on earth are you going on about now elias ? what did i supposedly do with your brother now ?" she asked looking frustrated "oh come on you slept with him for christ sake he said you did " he said starting to pace again " when have i supposedly done this ?" she asked her eyebrows scrunching up "three days ago " nora just laughed "whats so funny huh ?" he asked stopping in his tracks again "did you forget that your brother is in tokyo or something " his facial expression has changed "oh shit nora im so so sorry so that means what the baby's ... ya know mine ?" she nodded moving her hands to her stomach 'baby's ?' "yes both of them " his head shot up and he meet her eyes "both? your having twins ?" she nodded 

end of memory 

my eyes opened to layla in my face " yo you good you fell like a pile of bricks and was out cold for like ten minutes" shye said concerned "i - i was a twin "
