Introduction – My New Life

"Just trust me, you'll enjoy it."

"No, I'm not in the mood to hang out right now."

"You always say that."

"So why are you wasting your time, even though you know that is my one and only answer." I said started to get annoyed at my best friend.

"Because I care about you. And I want you to live your life."

"Emily, that's my life. Deal with it." I said in attempt to end the conversation but no, she just doesn't give up.

"You must accept the fact that he's not coming back." She yelled at me and soon realized her fault and tried to hug me her apologizing hug but I pushed her away.

"Emily, just leave me alone."

"I'm so sor-" she whispered but I cut her off.

"JUST LEAVE EMILY." I yelled as she sighed and exited the room. As soon as she closed the door I started crying hysterically remembering the old happy times. The times that won't ever come back…

After I calmed down, which is an hour later I started walking around the house aimlessly, not finding anything to do. Finally I found the newspapers so I sighed before taking them to my room as I sat on the couch and started reading.

I flipped through the papers of the newspaper, I'm not so much interested in newspapers, but I can't find anything to do. Oh, I'm Miley, 24, I live with my mother, because my parents got a divorce since I was ten.

I'm the kind of person who prefers to be alone, I don't have so much friends. I wasn't like that before, I used to be outgoing, all smiley, I had a punch of friends, go everywhere, what happened? I'll tell you what happened.

It all changed last year, when my twin brother died! Yes I had a twin brother, his name was Mark. We were so close, all those stuff they say about twins were existed between us, whenever he was sick I'd lay in my bed not able to move, whenever I was broken hearted he'd be so depressed, he even once locked himself in his room, he had no idea why he was sad, he just was! Yes he was a boy and I was a girl, but we still were so close, we never fought a real fight, it was just playfully or childish ones.

We were at the beach this day, me, him and some of our friends, we were having a great time, then mom called us and told us that she wants us to be home soon, because there were some guests coming over.

We entered his car, and drove away. He was driving fast, I told him to slow down a little, at first he didn't listen to me, but then he knew that I was right. He tried to slow his speed but he figured that the brakes was broken, we saw a huge truck coming towards us, the sea was next to us, so it was either the sea or the truck. He thought that it'd be better the sea, we both know how to swim and the car windows were opened so we can get out of it. But when he was about to turn towards the sea, it was too late, the truck hit us.

I woke up the next day at the hospital; they told me that he didn't make it. I screamed. I screamed his name loudly. I went to his lifeless body and hugged him tightly, saying his name over and over again, but with no luck. He never answered me, I couldn't take it, I fainted.

I refused to eat; I was living on the medicines they gave me. I didn't even want to take those medicines, but my mom was forcing me to.

Since then, I'm not my happy self again, my old friends still try to get me to go out again if you didn't already notice, but I just say that I don't want, so they just visit me at home, sit with me, try to make me laugh, then when they tell me that they're leaving, they go talk to my mother about me and how I'm still sad, and my state in getting worse every day!

I hear my mom's cries while she thinks I'm asleep every night, but the truth is I barely sleep, at first I thought that she was crying about my brother's death, but once, I heard her praying to God that I get better, and that I don't deserve what's happening to me. That made me cry, I decided that I should try to move on. Actually I'm trying right now, just for my mother, just because I love my mother.

When I was about to throw the newspaper away bored, a small announcement caught my eyes, and I read it:

The strange small hurricanes at the ocean are increasing every day, the scientists think that there are strange movements at the bottom of the ocean, but they're not so sure about it.

Three newly graduated students want to take a trip to the ocean and find out about it, they're not professional, but they believe that they can do it, well, the researchers say that they were good while they were at college, so we can't say that they're not the right ones for that mission, but it'd be better if it was someone older.

Anyway, the mayor –hopelessly- gave them the permission to do it, now they need someone, who knows that small village very well, someone who lived there his whole life, strong, smart, brave guy to go in that little trip in the ocean. They say that it'll help them a lot if they have this person. They're ready to pay him what he wants.

Go to the e-mail or dial the number below if you're interested.

When I finished reading that I knew they were talking about our village, I've heard about those strange things happening in the ocean, and to be honest I was interested to know about it. I checked it again…

Lived there his whole life… check.

Strong…. Living with Mark twenty three years granted that for me, so… check.

Smart…. Making tricks on all our friend with Mark granted that too, so… it's check too.

Brave…. My mom was always scared from any little movement in the house, when Mark was out I was the one who went to see what was wrong, which always turned out to be Mark trying to sneak in, in the dark, so I guess it's check too.

So it was all check and it's all thanks to Mark, but then there's that problem…

Guy, they wanted a guy. Why? What's the difference? What's the hell is the difference? The first thing I was interested about in the last year turned me down with one word.

I sighed as I threw the newspaper on the table and got out of my room; I scanned the home and found that my mom wasn't home from her work yet. I went to the kitchen and got something to eat. I then went to the living room and opened the television, when I found nothing interesting, I closed it again and got up. My legs found their way to the room that I practically didn't leave since last year, Mark's room.

I have my own room and everything, but it's the only place that contains so much of him, I even wear his clothes when I'm not going out, which I barely do!

I collapsed on his bed and closed my eyes, my mind went to that announcement I read earlier, I really needed something like that, and I fit all the conditions except that stupid one. If Mark was here, he'd have told me a stupid idea just to make me over it, and it always worked. Wait… Mark… I and Mark looked like each other; we weren't really identical, but still. All our friends said that he was the guy version of me and I was the girl version of him, but there were some differences, we had the same shape of the face, the same blue eyes, the same color of hair, but mine was a bit lighter than his, and that's it. He was taller than me, not so much but he still was taller.

I know that it sounds like Mark's stupid ideas, but it make sense, sometimes his ideas made sense, they were crazy, but they could happen, just like that idea that just popped in my head.

The more I think about it, the more I get convinced with it and the more I feel crazier and I feel like I'm slowly returning back to my old happy self. The thing that was missing in my life was the absence of Mark, and like that he won't be missing anymore…

Well, you may know by now that being patient is not my thing :) I wanted to wait sometime before I post this one but I'm just too excited to know your opinions in it…

So do you think it'd good? I know this chapter wasn't really good but I promise it'll get better soon enough, I already have the next chapter written so you just need to tell me if you even want to read this story… so tell me and REVIEW please :D

Oh and btw were you guys hating Still In Love With You and You'll Be Mine? I didn't get reviews in the aslt chapters like I used to get in them, I need to know if you liked them! anyway I'm not forcing you to do so, I just wanted to know your opinions in my story cause it really affects me :D

So, I guess enough talking…

Have a GREAT weekend ;)
