Heartbroken

Chapter 8

Nova's POV

Today is Monday. Saturday is Halloween, also known in our house as Oct's birthday, and the next day is mine.

"Hey sis. Good morning." Oct says as she walks into my room and plops onto my bed.

"Hey." I reply, finishing shoving my homework into my binder and backpack, I lie down on the bed next to her. We both silently stare up at the ceiling for a few minutes.

"Oct, Nova, Harry is already in the car!" mom's voice comes up the stairs.

"Coming!" Oct and I screamed back at the same time, while getting up, grabbing our bags, swinging them over our shoulders, walking out the door, and down the stairs. At the same time. Honestly, don't even ask me how we both got through the door and down the stairs together. We literally just face each other without realizing that we do it. Or something like that...i think.

Oh, and we walked (more like ran) out the door and into the car as well. Again, at the same time. And again, don't ask.

School went by normally. At lunch, today, no one bothered us, and we all ate in peace. Riley has two girls, Ashley and Mila following her around, tailing her everywhere and doing whatever she says. We are on the late bus right now, because practice just let out for both me and Oct. Mom said she was busy and Harry too so we are taking the bus today. Well, Mom called me and Harry called Oct. I am still pissed off at him. When we reach our house, we see both their cars in the driveway. Oct and I look at each other. Something is going on.

Maybe mom tried to cook again and nearly burned down the house. Wait, no, there are no fire trucks, so maybe not. Oh no, maybe mom got fired, or Harry did some shit at school and got kicked out. We both run up the driveway, and unlock the door, flinging it open.

The second we opened the door, we smelled lasagna. Oh, so mom cooked lasagna, practically the only thing she can cook without burning the house down...or burning the food. Well, something happened, because both mom and Harry had said that they had stuff to do, which is why Oct and I took the late bus.

We hear voices in the living room, so we take our shoes off and walk through the small corridor that led into the living room. We see a girl sitting on the sofa, talking to mom as Harry sat next to her. Oct and I look at each other again, eyebrows raised in question.

Woof Woof!

Dash barks as he comes to greet me and Oct. His barks stop Mom and the girl's conversation. The three of them turn to look at us.

"Oh, hey girls. I didn't hear you come in!" mom said to us.

Oct and I just stand there, not knowing what to do.

"Fi, these are the twins, October and November." Harry says to the girl.

"OMG! Hi! I'm Fiona. Harry's girlfriend. Man, he told me so much about you two! It is so nice to meet you." Fiona waves at us.

Oct and I wave back, shocked.

"Harry's girlfriend?" we say together in shock. Fiona looks at us, her eyes wide. Yup, the expression that everyone wears when they first hear us talk at the same time.

She recovers quickly. "Babe, you never told them?" she fake sniffles as she says to Harry.

"Uh-um-I-uh. No." he says in defeat.

"Man, I feel very sad." she says dramatically. She puts the back of her hand on her forehead, and falls into Harry's lap.

Harry, Fiona, and mom start laughing. Oct and I are still standing.

"Hahaha. Sorry. I am still a kid." Fiona says to us.

"Haha. Lol." Oct replies. I still stay quiet.
