Sorry for this being a bit late, but I decided to take an interesting turn of events. Thank you to everyone who has been watching out for my story, but I have to say I will never be as good as Rainbow. She is just something out of this world. I hope that this chapter is something people were not expecting. It wasn't something I expected, eather. Well, anyway, keep loving the story. Share it with other fan girls or fan boys. I love hearing from you guys because you guys really do make my day. Enjoy!

"Cath, are you done packing yet?" Wren opened the door to find her sister still trying to decided on what was coming home and what was staying. They weren't going home for long. Just for Thanksgiving. Though, for Cath, it was an opportunity to switch out her collection a bit. At the moment, she was trying to decided if she should take home some of the Simon and Baz plushies or if she should take home the redrawn movie poster. Behind her, Wren gave out an exasperated sigh.

Cath just shrugged. "Why do you want to go home so fast?" It was not because her sister was already packed or anything. Wren was never the one who wanted to go home first. When she turned her head, she could see a twinkle in her twin's eyes.

"I want to get some stuff before we go. You and me are going to surprise dad with a huge turkey!" Wren jumped onto her sister's bed. Cath knew that Wren had always wanted to do this. Their dad just wasn't big on shopping. "And grandma sent me some recipes we could try. Not just green bean casserole." They both shared a laugh at the face Wren made.

Maybe it was time for a change.

Cath picked up the plushes and carefully placed them into her suitcase. "Dad did mention some kind of surprise when we got home." He had been keeping good tabs on his girls and Wren still left campus every weekend as she promised to do last year. He had already surprised them by keeping up with his running.

The girls turned when Reagan kicked the door open. "Fuck!" She held her hands over her head as if to protect herself as soon as she saw the two girls. "Don't hurt me!"

Levi was the one driving the twins back home. And the one staying the night for Thanksgiving. His mother had protested, but he finally won the battle by saying that Cath did not need his sisters picking on her again. The last time she was there, most of the girls swarmed around the mousy girl, trying to make her wear make up and put on dresses. "Don't you want Levi to see how pretty you are?" one of them had squeaked.

If her knight in shining armor had not saved her, Cath didn't want to know of what might have happened. She had complained to Levi that she still had nightmares about that day.

On the way home, the sisters enjoyed playing the radio and singing along until Levi had to put an end it it. ("I have to save my ears!") After that, the three of them discussed a scene that Cath was having some trouble with. This lead to off the wall ideas that bounced around in the tiny cab. Well, at that moment, the cab felt tinny to Cath. To have her boyfriend on one side and her sister on the other, Cath was perfectly happy.

"So, Wren," Levi put his turning signal on as he was about to enter an exist. "Do you have your own story in the works?"

The outgoing twin shook her head. "That is more of Cath's area. I just enjoy reading them right now." Cath felt her sister shrug her shoulders at the thought. "When Cath and I wrote together, it felt like I was eating good chocolate. But right now, I don't need any chocolate."

The shy sister felt her eyebrows furrow. "Chocolate?"

Wren let out a scoff. "Yeah, like, when you publish one of your stories, don't you get the feeling that you are rewarding yourself with some chocolate?" Both Levi and Cath turned their heads at the girl on the right of them. This made Wren laugh and shake her head. "Okay, so that's only me."

"A lot of things are only you." Wren stuck her tongue out her mirrored sister. This sent them into a fit of giggles taking them all the way to their house. Cath placed her hand on her boyfriend's knee and gave it a small squeeze. This was exactly how she was hoping things would go. Most of the best people in her lives coming together for one meal.

Then she saw the first of many things to throw her off. Right beside her father's beat up car, was a red corvertible. It showed bright against the dark clouds that were forming. Something wasn't right.

"Did grandma get a new car?" Cath felt something like panic form deep in the pit of her stomach. Before her twin could answer, three pairs of eyes saw the front door open to the girls' father. And behind him was a woman.

Laura.

Their dad's smile looked like it was stretched to it's limits. Cath felt his pain. It was the same pain that held her to her seat. The same pain that wrapped itself around her chest and made it hard to breath. The same pain she felt when she was a child saying good-bye to her mother.

The blond woman ran to the truck with a forced smile. "My darlings are home!" Who knew how cold those words would feel to the frozen girl. "Art and I have been waiting for you to come home." Levi grabbed Cath's hand for support, but she couldn't feel it. She was miles away.

Wren suddenly jumped out of the truck. Her hair was tossed around by the cold wind. "Laura," Cath felt the tears that her sister was holding back. "What are you doing here?" This was too much. This was a nightmare.

This was a nightmare.

This was a nightmare.

"Cath."

This couldn't be real.

"Cath."

Her chest hurt. It all hurt her.

"Cath!"

It was too much.

Her eyes opened, heart racing hard in her chest. She gasped around in the dark, trying to find anything to prove the dream wrong. Suddenly, a light was switched on from the other side of the room. A very small and familiar room. As Cath's eyes adjusted, she could make out the form of a very tanned body attached to a head of red.

"Cath, are you okay?"

She nodded and swallowed whatever vile substance was climbing up the back of her throat. Her hands found her glasses in hopes to hide whatever was in her eyes. Cath threw the sheets off of her and quickly walked to the small bathroom the two roommates shared.

Reagan moved in her bed. "Do you need me to call Levi?" What was with her? Why was she being so...overprotective?

"No," Cath took a handful of tap water and splashed it in her face. "I'll be okay." She tried not to catch herself in the mirror. Cath wasn't okay. She was so close to losing it again. Ever since her mom tried to come back into her lives, Cath was on edge. Not because it was the mother who left her coming back into their lives as if nothing happened. That just pissed her off.

It was the fear of her coming back and then leaving again that killed Cath.
