CHAPTER TEN

We sit on the bed, trying to grasp this new information. Twins. How was this never brought up and how could we not know? Don't people say you can always feel what your twin is feeling or you know when the other is in danger or something? 

"Do you think we were both adopted? Or one of our parents is our real parents?" I ask curious. 

"Well, if my parents were our real parents, they're dead." Jess says bluntly. I stare at her in shock at how easily she says it. Like if it's nothing.

"They died when I was 15. Murdered. They had it coming. They were bad people. Unfortunately for me, that meant foster parents. All bad. Not one parent out off all the houses I went to were nice. They just wanted the money. I ran away at 17, and was living on the streets for two years. I was honestly fine with it. I had a few good friends. And this lady would always give me food and let me stay with her when it was too cold outside. Then..it all changed. HE came into my life. But that's a completely different story. Point is, lets hope my parents weren't our real parents. How about yours?" She asks looking at me. 

I stare at her in awe. Her life has just been full of chaos meanwhile mine has been so simple. "Well I live with my parents. My dad travels a lot so he's hardly home. My mom is always home. I have a little sister, Mary who's 9. A younger brother Henry, who's 16, and an older sister Leslie who's 21. Not once did my mom mention a twin. As far as I'm concerned she tells me everything."

Jess looks like she's trying to grasp what I said. "Hmm, well this is weird."

I sit quietly on the bed, wanting to ask her something but I'm not sure how. I just met her. I decide to anyway before I lose my nerve. 

"Are you a....umm..a virgin?" I ask quietly. The memory of being raped still fresh in my mind. He obviously hadn't raped jess because I remember he said "you probably feel so good without one." Or that could mean he has raped her but with a condom. Omygod. That's still horrible. 

"Well that's kind of random don't you think?" She says amused.  Her eyes turned glassy as she continued, "but no I'm not. I lost it at 16. Wasn't special. Wasn't even consensual. But shit happens. Obviously." she says looking around, her tone sounding bitter. She looks at me curiously, "why do you ask?"

I feel my eyes start to burn and soon the tears start to fall as I tell her how Elijah raped me thinking I was her. I mentioned how he had said that jess had said that she wanted it. Her eyebrows raise and then she crawls over to me and puts her arms around me in a hug. 

"I'm so sorry" she whispers, "I'm so sorry, this is my fault, elijahs right, I shouldnt have left. When I told him that I wanted him it was part of my plan to escape. I said it to get him to let his guard down. I didn't mean it. He's raped me violently so many times I couldnt take it one more time." Her voice cracks and a tear falls from her right eye.  We sit there hugging, silently crying for who knows how long. The irony of how both of us got our virginities taken from us by rape is sick. 

After a while we get up and walk down into the living room, I wash my face in the sink as Jess opens the fridge looking for food. She takes out ingredients to make a sandwich and makes one for the both us. She maneuvers around the kitchen like if this was her house. She knows where everything is. 

"How long has Elijah kept you?" i ask. 

"6 months" she says, "a couple days after my birthday." 

"Oh.." 

"Yup" she says popping the "p" she sets the sandwiches on a plate and grabs some orange juice, pours it in a cup and sets it on the table. She motions for me to come sit with her. We sit down and eat in silence. She's about to say something when we hear the front door click. We stop eating and I feel fear take over my body. Jess motions for me to stand up and follow her. I follow her into the living room where we face up with Elijah. He's soaking wet, getting caught in the rainstorm. He takes off his jacket and hangs it on the hanger by door, and takes off his shoes placing them by the door. 

"Hello, twinsies" he says with a smirk on his face. "Come over here and give me a hug" he opens his arms wide and I'm frozen in place. I see jess slowly start to make her way over and gives him a stiff hug. I follow close behind and do the same. He wraps his arms around me tight, so tight I can't breathe. He lets me go and I step back behind jess who's standing by watching him. 

He walks over to the couch and plops down. He stares at us for a while before speaking. 

"Alex," he says, looking at me, "recite me the rules of this house." 

"Oh fuck" I hear jess mumble under her breath. I feel dizzy again. We forgot all about that! 

"Oh um..I..." I shift nervously from side to side. He stares at me expectantly. He then looks back from me and jess. 

"Well" he says. 

"I didn't teach them to her." Jess speaks up in a monotone. She's obviously not scared of him like I am. I see him clench his fists as he stands up slowly. 

"I see," he says " well...I'm going to have to teach you a lesson aren't I?" 

Uh-oh.
