Carpool Confessions
My name is Tegan Quin and I've known for a long time that I love my sister. Weird, I know. But I dare anyone not to love her. She's perfect. I'm just letting you know, because I think I finally have the guts to tell her.
I asked her to turn off the camera, we had been recording our show, and she did after a few seconds confusion. Then I told her I had something very serious to tell her. She seemed confused about this. I took a deep breath before I began.
'Ever since we were kids I felt a special connection with you.' I told her hoping to be able to decipher her expression, it was blank. I continued, 'It's sort of like when people talk about twin telepathy.' She raised one eyebrow, 'But it's something in my heart, not my mind. My mind can't control this connection.' Again I tried to judge her expression, aside from the raised eyebrow a second ago, it was still blank. I pushed further, 'What I'm trying to say is, well, what I feel is…fuck.' I breathed out, unable to let the words form, 'I can't do this anymore Sara.'
She definitely changed her expression, she was mad, 'What the hell? We're recording an album, and you're done with the band?' She huffed and turned away from me.
'That's not what I can't do Sara.' I rub the back of her hand, 'I can't do this.' I motion between the two of us, 'I can't be your sister. I have to be more.' She understood what I meant, and for a split second I thought she was going to hate me forever, I thought I had ruined everything, 'If that makes you uncomfortable, then yes, I'm done with the band.'
'Tegan.' She sounded scared, 'Don't leave the band.'
'I don't have a choice Sara.' I tried to fight against the tears and pain.
'Yes you do Tegan.' This was what I was afraid of, a speech about me changing how I feel towards her, 'Choose me.'
I was shocked, no that's an understatement. I couldn't breathe anymore. I must have died in that car, there is no other expression. But moments later her lips brought me back to life. They were sweet, loving, and beautiful. Just like her.
'I love you Tegan.' She bit her bottom lip, 'I always have.'
I grinned, unable to contain my joy, flashing my gums, 'How was that for a carpool confessional?'
