After they had all eaten Thayer returned to his bedroom and Emma and Sutton to the guest room. Emma was laid staring at the ceiling and judging by the deep breathing she heard next to her Sutton was asleep.
She laid thinking about what was going to happen next. Would Sutton come clean like she said? How would Kristen and Ted react? How would Laurel react? What would happen with Rebecca? Would she finally find out the truth about what happened all those years ago?
Before she knew it she felt Sutton move around next to her then she heard her quiet sleepy voice "hey".
"Hey" Emma replied.
"You been up long"
"Not sure I've been to sleep"
"Oh...you ok?"
"Yeh just thinking about stuff"
"Hmm you want to talk about anything?"
Emma looked at her for a minute trying to work out if talking to Sutton would help. Why not what's the worst that could happen she thought to herself. "Ok well I'm kind of just wondering what happens now? What do we do?"
Sutton sat up and thought for a minute "what do you want to do?" she asked
"I don't know really" Emma replied. She wasn't looking at Sutton she just continued to stare at nothing still thinking. Emma felt Sutton's gaze on her she knew that she was waiting for Emma to continue. "I just, I feel lost. I don't know what I'm doing. I have literally nothing and I don't know what is going to happen"
"You have me" Sutton said
"I know but..."
"Do you? No" Sutton said shaking her head. "I get it that's my fault but I do want you to know it. I want you to know that I meant every word of what I said."
Emma didn't say anything; she didn't look at Sutton either.
"It's hard to trust somebody who's hurt you especially when it's the last person you expect"
"Sorry" Emma said looking up.
"That wasn't a dig at you Emma"
"Then who...Ethan" she asked
"No" Sutton said shaking her head "my parents" she muttered
"Sutton I'm sure they were only trying to protect you"
"They have lied to me nearly my whole life" Sutton said fumbling with her fingers.
Emma nodded "we'll find the truth then hopefully we can figure out why"
"You're right" Sutton replied "but right now we are talking about you not me."
"Hmm great"
"Ok so you say you have nothing. Well let me just remind you that you have a wonderful twin sister" Sutton said trying to lighten up the mood again.
Emma giggled and nudged Sutton playfully.
"Seriously though I know it might be hard after everything but you can come to me for anything. Sisters?" Sutton questioned putting her hand up for a high five.
Emma shook her head laughing again and knocked Sutton's hand out of the way. She got up and hugged Sutton "sisters"
After a few minutes they broke apart deciding it was time to get dressed.
"First dibs on the shower" Sutton said as she began to walk to the en-suite bathroom.
"No way. I was here first"
Sutton giggled and continued to walk before she felt a pillow hit the back of her head. She turned around to see Emma with a wide grin.
"I'll fight you for it" Emma said before picking up the other pillow off the bed.
Sutton picked up the pillow next to her and launched it at Emma who held her pillow up to shield herself. Emma then ran toward Sutton with her pillow ready to use. Sutton squealed running back to the bed trying to reach for another pillow. It was too late she was under attack she tried to protect herself under the cover making Emma laugh more.
"Come on you have to fight back" she giggled stepping back to let Sutton up.
Sutton stood up pillow in hand with her back to Sutton she swung around with it. But Emma saw it coming and swung her pillow too. The pillows both burst together leaving feathers flying everywhere.
The twins let themselves fall to the floor laughing they both laid back in the mass of feathers. Sutton reached her phone from the nightstand just beside her. She opened up the camera app and held the phone up above them. "Say cheese!"
They lay silent for a minute before Emma spoke "hey Sutton guesses what"
"Yeh"
"I won" she replied getting up and running to the bathroom.
Sutton giggled and let Emma go. She remained lying on the floor looking at the picture that she had taken. They both had wide smiles and where completely surrounded by feathers; they looked so happy. This is the way it is supposed to be she thought to herself happily.
