We Just Can't ✅ (NOT EDITED)

CHAPTER 38

I haven't spoken to Aaron for three days, he's probably angry with me and he has every right to be. I was rude and harsh and on top of that I was lying.

I kept waiting for him to call but he never did. Alex got suspicious about me always checking my phone every second so whenever he's going out, he'll lock the gate and takes the keys with him.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm feeling very sad the same way I feel every year.

I'm feeling sad because Nathan will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow, alone with no annoying twin sister by his side.

I wonder how he's doing. I wonder how everyone is doing. My mum, my dad, my annoying step sister and even more annoying step brother.

I remember when I was little, I used to wish I wasn't a twin just so I could celebrate every birthday alone but after sharing my better with someone for so many years not doing it now is just weird.

My birthday doesn't feel like my birthday.

I used to back of my hand to wipe the tears that are freely falling. I cry a lot these days.

Alex barges into the room and I give him a very cold stare which he completely ignores.

"I'm travelling" he says sitting down on the couch in the room.

"Tomorrow is my birthday" I say.

"I know but I have to go. It's extremely important" he says.

I don't whether I'm sad or I'm angry because my feeling are in a mix right now. First you lock me up in this house and won't allow me to leave and now the only day that you actually treat me like a human being you're going on a trip.

"It's fine since you're not home can I go out and have some fun?" I ask with begging eyes.

"No. We'll go out when I get back" he says in a dismissive voice.

I don't say anything, I just stare blankly at him.

"Everything you'll need is in the house so you have no reason to leave the house" he says getting up.

I don't say anything so he just leaves.

Good for nothing idiot. I walk up and stare out of the window. I watch him drive out of the compound and as soon as he's gone, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

My phone rings and I quickly rush to it, sadly its Bimbo calling not Aaron.

I pick it up and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello" I say.

"Hey b, what's up?" she asks sounding excited.

"Nothing much, what's up with you?" I ask.

"Temi is coming over and we're going out tomorrow" she says literally screaming.

"Who is we?" I ask.

"Me, you and Temi na" she says.

"Oh, nice. What time?" I ask.

"Let's meet at Aaron's house by five pm, is that convenient for you" she asks.

"That's fine with me" I say.

"Good. Come with changing clothes too. Club type of clothes" she says.

"Abimbola, are we going to the club, we're not teenagers" I say with a funny expression on my face.

"Abeg forget that thing, it's just one night" she says then she hangs up.

Crazy human being.

I drop my phone on the bed and head outside.

"Yibril" I say in a loud voice.
