  8th March 2022

  "Thank you." I said grabbing the coffee cup that Kio handed to me.

  It's officially 2 am, 8th March, we are in a gas station. I wasn't feeling good enough to drive right after learning that my sister was pregnant, so I called Kio and he came here with an uber, now we are turning back with my car.

  He was shocked as me but he is better at dealing with bad news, he put himself together quickly. "We have to tell Ryland, he has to know he had a child." said Kio. "Yes, it'll hurt him but he has to know. Do you know what was the baby's gender?"

  "I don't know." I said. "Wait, I'll call my dad to ask." I called him, he answered the phone angrily.
  "What the fuck happened why are you calling at 2 am?"

  "What is the gender of baby?" I asked.

  "What? Did you really call me to ask that?"

  "Is it a boy or girl?" I asked. "Please answer, please."

  "I don't know." he said. "I guess she was on her second week of pregnancy, you can't know the gender in second week.Did she ever mention you about her pregnancy, was she knowing that she was pregnant? Anyways it's good she couldn't have that baby. She wasn't ready to be a mom. Imagine Lana as a mom, she would be a mess." He laughed. "Worst mom ever. I'm not sure if she even want to get marry."

  "She wanted it more than anything. And she would be the best mom ever, at least better than my mom. Anyways, thank you and don't worry, I won't call and bother you again." I said and ended the call.

  "I don't know, he said." I looked at Kio into his eyes. "I don't know, he said you can't know the gender in the second week of pregnancy."

  "Do you think was Lana knowing this?" asked Kio.

  "I don't think so. I mean if she knew, she would tell Ryland, Jaden or you, am I wrong? Or at least she would write in her diary. Maybe she would write a song for her child, I don't know, she would make it known someway." I said.

  "Babe, Ryland is staying in his house, let's go there and tell him. There is no point to waste time here." said Kio and wrapped his arm around my waist, pressed his forehead against mine.

  "She died before she found out that she was pregnant. What if my story is same as her? We are twins, our destinies must be related." I said.

  "Shh." he said putting his thumb on my lips. "We have a bright future Addison, we will announce that we are dating when we find Lana's killer and we will live happily ever after." He leaned for a kiss, I kissed him back.

  "It feels so unbelievable." I said. "Sometimes I look at you and think why is he dating with me? You are so perfect, I don't want to believe that you're in love with me, it's so unreal. But then, then you kiss me and I say, yes, it's real, he is real, our love is real. My mind is always busy with thoughts, it feels like I'm drowning slowly but kissing you makes me feel like I'm finally able to breathe. I love you Kio."

   "I love you too Addison." he said and he kissed me again, but this time it wasn't a soft kiss, he was kissing me hardly, with passion, with lust. " We are living in the same house but I can't touch you. It's really hard for me." he said.

  "For me too." I put my hands on his cheeks. " I want to tell everyone that I'm in love with you, I wanted to cuddle with you when everyone was cuddling with their lovers and I want to kiss you without feeling afraid of getting caught by someone. I wanted to sleep with you, I want to call you mine."

   "We will do this things soon." he said. "I hope, but now we have to go to Ryland. Get in the car." he said.

  I sat on the passenger seat and he started to drive to Ryland's house.
