Sara, walking up the steps reached into her light blue jean jacket and searched for her house key. She grumbled as she struggled to pull it from the seemingly tight pocket. After finally pulling it from her pocket she wrapped her hand around the cold metal of the door knob and raised one of her thin eyebrows. It was unlocked 'I thought I locked it,' she thought as she tuned the knob.
Pushing her door open cautiously, she looked around, slowly walking in. The energy felt different, Sara got a very uncomfortable feeling from being in her home. She shut the door quietly and sat her things down on the wood coffee table. She looked over at her bookshelf and noticed a book missing, her eyes opened wide…someone was here. Sara ran to the stairs and noticed the missing book. She picked it up and was ready to turn it into a self-defense weapon if needed.
What if someone was really in her home? A murder? A rapist?…both? She gasped at her thoughts and slowly walked up the stairs, her heartbeat getting fast and louder with every step she climbed. She finally reached the top of the stairs "Breathe, Sara…it's probably all in your head," she tried to convince herself. Sara rested against the wall and tried to not let her asthma kick in, once she was ready, she opened her bedroom door and walked in.
On the other side of the wall…well closet that is, Tegan sat close to the doors, looking through the small cracks of the closet doors. Her heart was pounding, adrenaline pumping…she hoped Sara didn't look and try to find her. As she saw Sara's thin legs walk past her closet, she quickly sat back against the wall.
Sara sighed and looked around her room, trying to find the person that was in her house. She walked past her closet and sat on her knees before she looked under her bed. She saw no person but she did find a few coins and a dust bunny. Sara stood back up and ran her fingers through her short hair, there was no one there. Maybe they left? But they didn't take anything? Odd…to odd.
Soon enough, her nerves and heartbeat returned to normal, with no assistance by her puffer. She took the small red device out of her pocket and set it on her bed before looking at her clock "Shower," she hummed with a large smile on her face. Sara closed her door and started to unbutton her button long sleeved collared shirt.
Tegan crawled back up to the openings of the doors and scanned the room for Sara; she looked by the opening to the bathroom and saw her shirt fall off her body. She silently gasped as her eyes opened wide 'I'm in a parallel universe…and my sister is stripping, I should be highly freaked out, but holy fuck,' she thought to herself in a rush. This was her wildest dream…her sister stripping in front of her. She saw her twin's hands reach behind her back to un hook her black bra.
She quietly grumbled in agony, she pressed her head against the doors, the net thing she knew, the doors had burst open and Tegan fell onto the carpet with a small thud. Sara whipped her head around and yelped, quickly reaching for her shirt, covering it over her chest. "Who the hell are you?" she yelled. Tegan stood up and looked at her twin's scared face, Sara looked at her carefully "You…you're the girl from yesterday," she panted, feeling her asthma kick in.
"Sara, listen to me," Tegan said calmly.
"No! Get out, I'm calling the fucking cops!" she yelled, as she put on her shirt and taking her phone out of her pocket.
"Sara please! Let me explain." Tegan said putting her hand in front of her, trying to tell her twin that she meant no harm.
"Explain what? You breaking into my house?" She yelled, as it was getting harder to breathe. Tegan looked at her and knew her asthma was getting to her. Sara looked at her puffer on the bed then looked back up to Tegan. Tegan looked at the puffer…she knew she was trying to get to it.
The two girls locked eyes and both tried to grab it, but Tegan was successful and held it high above her head "Got it," she smirked, victorious.
"Give me my puffer," Sara demanded.
"Only if you let me explain why I'm here," the elder twin reasoned. Sara sighed and cocked her head slightly to the side.
"Fine," she groaned and held her hand out, Tegan grinned a gummy smile and placed the puffer in her hand. After taking a puff out of it, Sara put it safely so Tegan wouldn't take it away from her again.
"Get out of my room and start talking," Sara told her, pointing to the door. Tegan nodded and made her way out of the room. Sara lowered her eyes and watched the girl 'Who are you and how did you find me?' she questioned in her mind.
Tegan sat down on Sara's couch with Sara sitting in a spinning office chair in front of her "Ok...well, this is going to be one hell of a bitch to explain," Tegan said as she rubbed the back of her neck. Sara rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest.
"Just get on with it before I change my mind," Sara said with a monotone like voice.
"My name is Tegan a-" she started to explain but was cut off.
"I know who you are, you Tegan Quin, famous singer," her twin interrupted.
"Right…but, I'm your twin. I don't know how I ended up here, but I woke up yesterday morning and you weren't my twin anymore," Tegan began. Sara stood up out of her chair and started to walk away.
"That's it, I'm calling the cops…you're crazy," she said in disbelief. Tegan quickly got up and ran after her. Placing a hand on her chest, making Sara stop in her tracks and swat Tegan's hand off.
"It's true, I woke up and no one knew you, only me."
"Then how did you find me?" Sara asked.
"I checked the whole city! Everywhere you would normally go…and that bookstore was my last hope. And I found you, Sara, but you don't remember me."
"So let me get this straight…you went to bed one night and we were twins, then you wake up and suddenly you're in a different world and I'm not?" Sara questioned as she paced the living room.
"Exactly," her sister responded with a small smile. Sara looked back at her and chuckled.
"I knew you were crazy before, but now I think you're undeniably insane," she laughed.
"Am I? Sara, I know everything about you," Tegan told her.
"Impossible."
"Is that a challenge," Tegan smirked.
"Try me," Sara sighed.
"When you were five you fell off your bike and you have a small scar behind your knee, when you were in middle school you had your first boyfriend but then after you broke up you found out you were gay. Then in high school mom caught you making out with a girl after a rave," Tegan said. Sara's eyes opened wide, she was right.
"Holy shit," she said, breathless.
"I told you so."
"If you're telling me the truth…then why don't I remember you?" she questioned.
"That's the part I don't know," Tegan said sadly, looking at the ground. Tegan sighed, she told her tale and as promised she'd leave. "Um, thanks for letting me explain. Goodbye, Sara," Tegan said before making her way towards the front door.
Sara stood there frozen, all of this was completely absurd, sure she had read books on the subject but all the evidence was bogus. She watched Tegan leave the house and she sighed, a part of her wanted to know more, the other half didn't know what the hell it was.
"Tegan wait!" Sara shouted as she ran after her.
Tegan turned around and looked up at her "What?" she questioned.
"What if I can remember?"
"Want to get together and talk sometime?" Tegan said, hoping she'd give her a chance.
"Sure," she answered reluctantly.
"I'll text you my address! I'll see you tomorrow," Tegan smiled.
"I don't have your number," Sara told her.
"I'm your twin! I already have yours," Tegan reminded.
"Right…bye," she said awkwardly before going back into her house. She leaned against the door and sighed "I'm going to hang out with a lunatic, what have I done?"
