1. Chapter 1

Patricia's POV:

I slammed cupboard door shut and made my way into the small 'living room' of the miniscule 30th floor apartment that I shared with my twin sister Piper. in truth it wasn't really a living room, it was more of a tiny square corridor with a TV and raggedy old sofa and a small curtained of annex with Pipers bed inside squished into it but it was all we could afford on the salaries of two university students/waitresses. I plopped down on the fleabag 'sofa' and snatched the remote of the floor. I absentmindedly started flicking through channel after channel of boring American TV until I found NCIS one of the few TV shows that I could actually tolerate. Personally, I am all for Tony and Ziva becoming a couple or as the creepy fan-girls say "Tiva". I watched for a little while until I heard the harsh ring of the landline and jumped up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Patricia, is that you?" I recognised the posh overbearing sound of my father's voice and mentally groaned.

"Yes it is Dad what do you want?" I was probably harsher than I needed to be but honestly, who, the hell, cares? I sure didn't anyway!

"Oh" he was disappointed and showed it "I was hoping for your sister, is she there?"

"No dad, she went to the co-op to get some food."

"Oh, I just wanted to ask her how her piano exam went I know that its exam tie at the university!"

"I know that dad I do go to the same university as her and I also had to take exams!" typical only Piper was on his mind, he didn't care that I was top of my photography class only what was going on in his precious Piper's life.

"Well can you tell Piper to call please?" I sighed angrily and without answering, I slammed the receiver down and marched in the living room. I stood in front of the TV and suddenly was not interested in watching a bunch of Americans solve murders, shocker! So I decided to go for a walk and clear my head. I scribbled a short note to Piper explaining where I was going, grabbed my jacket and left. Once I was in the hallway I made a beeline for the lift but just as I was walking I pile of moving boxes on legs came out from round the corner and slammed right into me sending us both flying.
