THE INTRUDER

        "psss!...."I hear a sound
 
   I didn't know where it was coming from.....but I was sure I heard something
      Someone bangs on my window
"can... Open.... open the damn window canille" a voice says
     I walk over to the window and push it open "Kaycee... what the hell are you doing here? "I ask helping her into my room
     "funny story" she says panting very loud as if she just ran a marathon
"how did you find my house? "I ask and she pulls out her cellphone from her pocket
   
        "you sent me your address.....remember?..... I was supposed to meet your parents today...doesn't it ring a bell?" she asks and I blink twice to make sure she was still sane
         "yh....i know but don't you think...you should have at least called me? " I say sitting down at the edge of my bed
      "did you really think I would forget..... I wasn't going to let this opportunity go to waste" she says

      "but I'm grounded, my mum mustn't find you here.... she doesn't even know you" I say but I don't think she was listening
       Kaycee just starts walking around my room "so.... what are you hiding? "
she asks...... it sounded like she was a boy expecting to see..... you know the first thing you see when you walk into a girl's room
      "excuse me? "
"you know what I mean.....you've got to have something interesting in here"
she says and I grim with a smile "get out" I reply
       "dear diary, today Jackson Riley looked at me.... I felt like I was going to die.... it was so..... "
     I snatch the purple colored book from Kaycee who was already engulfed in laughter "why did you read that.... it said DO NOT OPEN!"I yell..... I didn't want my business out in the open like that
      trust me, you don't want to read it
  "exactly that's why I read it....  jackson Riley.... who's that"she pauses and starts laughing and now I really felt embarrassed
     "wait... let me guess the hottest boy on earth!"
   I pull my drawer open and kept the book in there " I was in sixth grade.... "
I say signaling Kaycee to get out of my room "there's nothing more to it, okay? "
     I really wished Kaycee would get out because I would be in more trouble if dad... or worse mum found her in here but Kaycee was persistent, she wasn't easily moved
         I was still lost in thought, I hadn't known that Kaycee had grabbed on to one of my pictures....kaycee just stared at the picture, it was a picture of me and a girl.... we were at the cinema and the girl looked alot like me.... from her yellow blonde hair to her hazel eyes....she was pouring popcorn on my hair and we were both laughing

      "who's this?" kaycee asks
That's the question I hate people asking.... so to avoid that I burnt all my pictures with her but not this one..... I just couldn't, looking at the picture brought back a lot of memories.....kaycee looks at me and sighs.... she didn't know a lot about my family....she didn't even know jeremy

         "is she your sister?"
I couldn't speak....tears just rolled down my cheeks....all these years...i hadn't seen her.... held her

       I buried my face in my palm.... tears kept leaking from my finger to the floor....my parents had tried their best to bury all their memories of her but I knew it couldn't be done
      I look at Kaycee who awaits my answer, I nod
         "so... Where is she? "
   I look up at her and wipe my tears
        "she's.... she's dead" I mutter, Kaycee drops the picture "I'm sorry..what happened?"she asks as she comes to sit beside me

       "her name was Chelsea... she was my reflection" I say
     Yes, I was a twin.

    Kaycee understood what that meant, her phone beeped in her pocket
      "wanna pick that up? "I ask and she just shakes her head "no"
    Kaycee wanted to hear what I had to say.... which was really sweet of her

      "I actually don't know what happened.....i came back home one day and I was told that she was dead"i  couldn't stop myself from crying....that picture was my last memory of her.....it was so hard for me to destroy it

       I look up at Kaycee and I poke her cheek "promise me.... "I pause being engulfed in my own tears "promise me that you would never leave me " I say and Kaycee nods her head

      A promise was a debt.

   "CANILLE!" someone knocks on my room door, it was mum
"open the door CANILLE!"she yelled, I had locked it from the inside

     shit......shit.... shit! ...what am I gonna do?

     "hide.... Kaycee! "I whispered
Kaycee had only two options....under the bed or the closet

      She chose wrong.... she stuffed herself under my bed... I tried to act casual as I opened my room door, mum barged in

       "what are you up to?..... why did you lock your...."she stops to inspect my eyes "have you been crying?" she asks.... I was really really bad at lying,when I get nervous.....i do this

         "Yes mother.... because you locked me in this house with no chance of living!" I say sounding quite dramatic...like I was a cast in the 1960's Mary Poppins....mum wasn't buying it, not even a bit
       "are you sick.... do you need to go to the hospital?" she asks placing the back of her hand on my neck
     "I'll go get a thermometer" she says, my mum was a nurse.... a good one actually, I watch as she sets to leave my room, phew... that was close

        A phone rings... Kaycee's.
Mum turns around, immediately my heart skipped a beat.... she looks at me, she had a grim expression

       "who's in here? "
