My Twin

Chapter 8: Dear Sister

Chloe's POV:

43, 44, 45, 46.

I turn over to the other side of my bed and pick up my diary pen and diary before scribbling

There are a total of 4 walls, one flat screen tv, one wardrobe, one bed, two bean bags, a duvet with 303 tiny puppies on it, 117 floor tiles and 46 ceiling tiles in my room.

Damn!, I'm so bored mum went out again today, dad had left for work as usual and that leaves me all alone at home. I really don't have anything to do, I've washed all the cloths, washed the plates, swept the house twice, watched tv, drew weird pictures in my diary and now I'm sick of doing those stuff. I decided to do something I've never really done before, analyze my room and also wait for Alec to maybe........text me.

I mean I don't want him to text me but if he does, I really won't mind.

I check my phone for the 20th time (yes, I was also counting how many times I've been checking my phone) and yet, I've gotten no text from Alec. It's not like I want him to text me though but if he does, I really won't mind. "Haven't you said that before" my subconscience reminds me but I ignore her and continue my mission of counting the visible nails holding the ceiling tiles together when I heard a beep from my phone.

"Please be Alec" I say loudly even if I knew I didn't really want him to text me but...... "We get it already" my subconscience yelled at me as I pulled my phone from under my pillow to read the text message

Hey Chloe, I don't mean to bother you or anything but can you please meet me at the community park later by 3:00, if only it's OK, with you though.

It's Eric, I forgot to change his name after he got married to Zoe and seeing the user ID in this texts makes me want to cry again.
He is a total jerk, if he thinks I'm actually going to go see him then he's stupid. My subconscience yells at me to re save his number as 'Idiot😑' , send him a mean text telling him to meet his lovely wife at the park and also stop texting me before finally blocking him but an unknown part of me told me to go and hear him out but still save his name as 'Idiot😑' and being the stupid, people pleaser I am, I obey the latter.

Me
OK, fine I'll be there but nothing more than thirty minutes

Idiot😑
OK, thanks meet you there ☺.

I know I'll regret my decision eventually

Zoe's POV:

I walk into the room and find Eric getting dressed.

Where does he think he's going, as far as I'm concerned, he's a jobless fool that relays on his father's wealth so he can't possibly be going to work

"Are you going for a job interview?" I ask as I sit on the bed turning my phone on
"No, I'm going to see........ a friend" he hesitated before he said
"So you're not planning on getting a job....ever?" I ask again
"Zoe, are we back to this again?" He asked sounding frustrated
"Again?, so you wanted me to drop this topic the first time?"
"Obviously, yes" he said angrily
"Yes huh?, for your information, Aaron has a good job at a publishing company and he has good pay, he doesn't depend on his father's wealth or his........"
"Would you please stop comparing me to your nasty ex" he interrupts me
"Nasty?, he was better than you" I shouted at his face and I knew he wanted to say more but stopped himself

"I'm sorry Zoe, I'll try to get a job, OK?, but right now, I'm going to see a friend of mine OK" he says calmly after some time
"Fuck off" I answered rudely and he just ignores me and goes into the bathroom.

I pick up his phone and check his messages to see this friend of his, he was going to see.

It was quite easy for me to find out who he was going to see and I wasn't shocked at all when I saw it my dear sister Chloe.

He actually thinks he can go and see Chloe or anyone else without me finding out and jot doing anything about it, we'll see about that.

He comes out of the bathroom minutes later and I pretend like I haven't seen anything. He picks his phone and shoves it in his pockets before leaving. I know what to do to poor Chloe.

Chloe's POV:

I checked the time again, 3:12.

Great he's late for his own date, I mean, invite.

I can't still wrap my finger around the fact that he's married now, maybe I still love him.

"Hey Chloe" I heard someone say and slop into the bench I was sitting on and sure enough it was Eric. "Sorry I'm late" he continued
"It's OK" I said even when I knew deep down that it was not OK

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked him
"Well, I have a lot of things to say, firstly, I would love to apologize for what I did to you, I know it...."
"Save it, you only apologize when you make a mistake, you knew everything you were doing and you still did it anyways so leave it" I said angrily, I knew I shouldn't have come here
"I'm still sorry" he said looking down at his feet as I try to balance my mood and not cry.

Looking at him reminds me of everything I've been through and it kinds of make me want to cry again but I won't cry in front of him, never.

"I also wanted to let you know that I'm hoping that what happened doesn't really change anything, we can still be friends right?" He asks and I looked at him confused.

Is he stupid, because I agreed to come here doesn't mean I forgive him. I regret coming here, curse that stupid part of me that convinced me to come here.

I was just about to give him an honest reply on what I think about all of this when someone yelled his name from behind us

"Eric baby, you left me at home" Zoe said as she came into view giving him a kiss on the cheek and a hug
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to see Chloe?, anyways, hi Chloe" she said giving me a fake smile as she continued to hold Eric tightly to herself and I just half smile back at her

"Just leave now Chloe". My subconscience warns me but I was too numb to listen as I just say there reminding myself not to cry

"So how are you Chloe?, do you now have a boyfriend, a fiancé or you're planing to become a Reverend sister at some church" Zoe said with a smirk as she gave Eric more kisses all over his face
"Stop this Zoe" Eric manages to say
"What?, it's not a crime to be married to the Lord, right?" She asked but no one bothered to answer
"The only thing Chloe is you'll be missing out on all the fun, do you know how good of a kisser Eric was, I've kissed a lot of guys but Eric has to honestly be the best and since we're married I get to do more than just kiss him, like yesterday we .........."I got up quickly and ran as far as my legs could carry me and I was pretty sure I heard Zoe say "Was it something I said?". She must really be insane

"We both know you're the insane one Chloe". My subconscience says to me and I knew she was right, I was a fool for coming here, counting ceilings and screws was a much better idea.
