So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do

Trinitys POV

There never seems to be enough time when you're in a hurry; like you're struggling to catch up in a race against the clock, in attempt to save the time you've already lost. I was never good at races.

"Ow!" I shouted, tugging my arm into the shirt that just made me hit myself in the eye. I was a mess, one shoe on, one in my mouth, my backpack almost on and a smudge of eyeliner on my cheek. I'd like to personally thank Annie for that after I get home from school.

I rushed out the door, shouting a goodbye to everyone and ran straight into Brian.

"Sleeping beauty finally up from her nap?" He laughed and nudged me on the arm. "Come on we have to hurry now"

Just as we started to run to school a red truck caught up with us, beeping there horn to get out attention.

"You two need a lift?" I knew that voice. I turned to find none other then Embry the giant in the car, he nodded to the seats next to him. I looked a Brian who shrugged.

"We are late"

We hopped in, it was like a Trinity sandwich in that car and boy was it hot. I put my hand to his arm, "Your hot" He smiled, great now he thinks I'm one of those creeps that feel random guys muscles. "I meant your temperature idiot"

"I know, I know, runs in the family" he laughed looking at me. I could see the school in the distance, everyone was rushing inside. Is that what I look like when I'm there on time? They looked like cattle.

Brian hopped out with a thank you as the car stopped out front. Embry turned to me, man we looked a like it was strange.

"So what's up?" We said in unison. Well, if that wasn't a Tia and Tamara moment I don't know what is. I laughed but Embry looked, concerned? nervous? I wasn't sure.

"I was wondering, do you want to come over after school?" He asked casually looking everywhere but my eyes. Oh no, this wasn't his way of saying he liked me, thats just wrong. I mean we practically look like twins! What would people say?

"Uh...well..you see" Maybe if I can come up with an excuse I'd make it out of this without hurting his feelings.

"It's not a date don't worry" Well, hello Mr. mind reader. I could hear the bell ring, damnit. Now I'm late!

I rushed, shoving my bookpack onto my shoulders, thank goodness I'm the new student. I could use the I was lost line if anything. "Yeah sure, can you pick me up here? I don't know where you live" He nodded and I was off.

Embrys POV

Skipping wasn't something I did often but the whole twin is definitely a good excuse. I came in late last night after my mom was already asleep, and all I wanted with my bed. I woke up to the smell of pancakes, mom never made pancakes.

I stumbled out of my room barely awak, I could hear her shuffling in the kitchen. "Morning" I called out so I wouldn't sneak up on her. Dirty pancakes aren't good pancakes and the last thing I wanted was her to toss them on the floor.

"Morning sweetie" Pfft. Sweetie, don't you sweetie me. I glared at her for a moment, but I could resist hugging her when I saw the tears in her eyes that looked like they could fall any minute. I pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry" She whispered. Way to guilt me mom. "If I would have known..."

"Ma, it's fine" I patted her on the back. "Besides your pancakes make up for any bad thing you could have done" I laughed, seriously though I wasn't lying those pancakes were like heaven in my mouth.

"You should invite her over sometime"

"I think she was adopted...I don't know if she knows..." My mom stopped flipping the pancakes. I could almost see her heart break, although I wasn't sure why. Her daughter was alive? Wasn't she happy? "Whats wrong?"

"My babys being raised by someone else..." Her voice was raspy as she continued to cook. "She doesn't even know I exsist."

Trinitys POV

The rain started again, great... this is what I need today. I was having the worst possible day; I was late for school, I had gym first and the teacher didn't accept my excuse. I was hit in the face with tennis ball, leaving a light mark just under my eye. That creepy guy I met my first day there tried hitting on me-infront of the entire class, turns out Melvin is a bigger creep then I thought and everyone knew it and now this. "Damn you rain, damn yo-!"

"Do you talk to yourself often?" Embrys husky voice laughed from behind me. I turned on my heel and glared at him.

"Shut up" I laughed as I got in the car, ah. Warmth, my long lost friend. I rubbed my hands together and shoved my hands against the heater. Embrys large hand was rubbing my arm.

"That a little better?" He asked. He was toasty, very very toasty.

"Are you sure you don't have a cold or something?" He shook his head, well that's weird. I shrugged, whatever wasn't any of my buisness anyway. I scooted a little closer to him, trying not to look like I wanted to be pressed up against him. Before I knew he it slung his massive arm around me and pulled me to him.

I sat there shocked. "Oh you know you wanted to" He chuckled.

Embrys POV

My mom pulled Trinity into a hug as soon as she saw her. You could hear her laughing nervously, I would too though; Imagine having some strange woman hugging you for dear life.

Mom pulled her back, stroking the side of her face. "Your very pretty" She whispered. I just stood there watching them for a minute. It was like they were in there own little world, like she knew that was her mom. Mom snapped out of it first, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes" I answered, mom rolled her eyes.

"I knew you were I was talking to our guest" She smiled patting her back.

Well now we know who's moms favorite.

Incase I didn't make it clear, the last two chapters were kind of linked together. They were talking when Jake came home.

Review please :)
