Hola everyone! Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you like it. Please review this chapter and of course, enjoy!
~After the movies~
Ty's POV
"Come on Ty…please? You have to tell me what happened."
I couldn't really speak. I mean I knew there was always a possibility that it wasn't her but I never knew it would hurt this bad. I felt all my hopes of finding Tinka gone. I didn't want to find her anymore. I was just hurting myself. I glanced at Cece who seemed clueless begging for an answer.
I avoided her eyes and sat on the couch. "Cece, I…I asked her. I'm sorry. I know it wasn't part of our plan but I couldn't get a grip of myself. I had to know the truth. I couldn't keep playing, pretending."
Cece didn't respond for a while. She didn't look at me. Finally she asked "So she said it wasn't her?"
I shook my head. "No."
"Well." She said taking a seat next to me. "I guess if it's not them, at least we know now, right?" She said forcing a smile.
"Yeah I guess we do…"
"But we're still going to hang out with them, right? I mean, you still like Amanda right?"
"Umm I don't know Cece. Maybe we should just forget about them."
"Come on Ty. They could be good for us, just because they're not the Hessenheffers doesn't mean we can't be with them."
I sighed. Could it really be Cece still had hopes that it was Gunther? Maybe she just wanted to move on. Amanda and Chase moved here for a reason. Maybe they were put to us as an opportunity to move on. Maybe I just have to take it.
"Yeah Cece, I guess you're right, we just have to move on. I'll ask Amanda out." I said.
All of a sudden Cece looked nervous. "Ask her out? Umm isn't that too sudden?" She asked quickly. Now I was confused. If she says that it's because she doesn't want me to be with Amanda. What does she want?
I looked at her in confusion. "Too sudden to ask someone out? I don't think so Cece. I'll call her and apologize for my behavior I said walking over to my room. I nervously dialed Amanda's number, but I knew I had to do it.
Cece's POV
I watched Ty go in his room. What had I done? Now he was going to ask Amanda out. I didn't want him to forget about Chase and Amanda because if he did then I couldn't hang out with Gunther. But Ty asking Tinka out was not my intension.
I quickly grabbed my phone and walked out of Ty's apartment so he wouldn't be able to hear us. I dialed Gunther's number praying he'd pick up.
"Hey Cece. What's wrong?"
"Umm hi Gunther. Are you home yet?"
"Nope. I figured I'd make some time to think of a way to apologize to my sister." He answered.
I nodded in understanding even though he couldn't see me. "Gunther I did something bad."
"What did you do?" he asked with an edge of concern in his voice.
"Something happened between Ty and your sister when they left. I think Ty asked Tinka if she was…well Tinka."
"And?" Gunther asked real concerned now.
"Luckily your sister denied it." I heard him take a breath of relief. "But Ty said he wanted to forget about you two. I said I still wanted to hang out with you guys even though you're supposedly "Not the Hessenheffers"."
"So?"
"Then Ty said yes you're right I have to move on and now…now he's asking Tinka out."
"What?! Cece we can't let that happen!"
"I know and I'm sorry. I just wanted to spend time with you, if he told me to forget about you I'd have to see you behind his back. I didn't think he'd go ask Tinka out!"
"I know it's not your fault Cece but I can't let Tinka say yes. I'm on my way home."
"Okay I have to go. Ty must have finished talking to her he's going to wonder where I am, call me back in an hour, k?"
"Okay I will, bye my little cookie." He said hanging up.
I quickly stepped back in to Ty's apartment.
Tinka's POV
I ran to my bed. I had to tell Ty I wasn't me. I promised Gunther. As mad as I was with him for treating me like that back at the movies I wasn't going to let him down and just tell Ty. I had to prove I was stronger than that. The worst thought came to my mind, what if that was the only reason Ty was chasing me all along? Because he knew it was me. He was still searching for me. But by the look in his face when I told him I wasn't Tinka I knew he'd stop. It was over. He'd never search for me again. He'd forget about me and I'd live as Amanda for the rest of my life.
Then again why did my brother not allow me to sit next to Ty? Surely he was worried I'd spill our secret. Couldn't he trust me?! When I tell him what happened with Ty he will surely trust me and he'll feel ashamed. I knew he felt ashamed anyways.
Just then I hear my phone ring. I pick it up. I was expecting Gunther but it was an unknown number. Not really unknown because recognized it as soon as I scanned the digits.
"Umm hello? I asked pretending I don't know who it is.
"Hey Amanda. It's me, Ty. Look before you hang up please let me talk."
Ty? He's calling me for what? I thought we'd never talk again. I never thought we'd talk three hours afterwards.
"I'm waiting." I responded acting as best as I could to sound mad at him. I probably wasn't doing a good job.
"I'm sorry I acted like a freak. I think it's time for you to know the truth. Everything. I am asking you for a chance. Amanda, will you please go out with me?"
I felt like I had when he first asked me out, pure happy. Pure nervous. "Umm I guess I can give you a chance, why not? But you better have a good explanation about what you were talking about. And you better tell me who this Tinka is."
I felt him lighten up. "I will I promise. Make it tomorrow at 6pm?"
"All right then sounds good to me. Bye Ty." I said putting my phone back.
I mentally screamed. I can't believe Ty asked me out! Of course as Amanda but, yay! I was just happy I hadn't lost him yet. But what would Gunther say now? He would be furious. I shook the thought away. Gunther doesn't take the decisions for me. He can be furious all he wants see if I care!
Just them my brother walked in the room. I tried to look as angry as I could. I looked at him like in never had before, full of rage. It's how I felt anyways.
"Tinka…I…" He sighed. "I'm sorry." Sorry? How cheesy! After he yelled at me like that.
"Sorry is all you have to say? You treated me like you were an over controlling freak Gunther! You made me look bad in front of Ty!" I yelled.
"Tinka I…I couldn't let you sit next to Ty!"
"Why? You couldn't trust me?! But I have to trust you to sit next to Cece!?" I asked filled with anger.
"Tinka it's not that! Plus why do you want to be with him anyways. You know we can't have them back!"
I didn't answer. I knew he was right but I was not just about to tell him that.
"Tinka, you have to understand it's over. If we want to keep them safe we'll leave them alone, not get closer to them like you are. Tinka, you can't pretend to be Amanda forever. You can't marry Ty as Amanda. Do you understand where that's wrong?" he said talking to me as if I was a dumb little child that was begging for a toy and her mom was explaining why she can't have everything she wants.
"Gunther I'm not five years old! Of course I understand where it's wrong." I felt my eyes water "I just can't live without him. And I'll have you know I'm so responsible that Ty asked me if I was Tinka and I denied it. Just to make you happy!"
"No Tinka, not to make me happy because you know that Ryan will find out if you get back with Ty. If you want Ty to be safe you have to let him go. Prove that you love him Tinka. Let him go."
I didn't want to let him go. He was making me seem like a selfish person but I just want to be with him, is that selfish?
"I can't. I love him too much. That's why I'm going on a date with him tomorrow and you can't stop me from doing it. Now get out of my room." I said pushing him out. I slammed the door shut. I'm not going to let Gunther tell me if I should love Ty or not. Ryan's probably long gone and dead. At least that's what I think.
Gunther's POV
"Hey Cece"
"Oh hi Gunther."
"Cece Tinka said yes. There's nothing I could do to stop her. I can't talk her into it."
"Gunther! Try harder. Please?" She said desperately.
"No. Cece look do you know how much of a hypocrite I felt telling my sister to let Ty go. That she has to forget him. Cece I feel terrible lying to her like this. I'm telling her to forget Ty yet I'm…"
"Yet what? Yet you're with me? Do you not want to be with me?" Cece said sadly. I couldn't tell her expression since we were on the phone.
"Yes. I want to be with you but I just feel bad lying to my sister. I'm the only one she supposedly able to trust and I'm deceiving her. But for now we have to work together Cece, We have to make sure they don't find out. I guess I have to betray my sister to keep her safe."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Not sure. I guess trust them a little."
"Huh?" She sounded confused.
"I mean we should let them go on their date. And maybe it will turn out horribly bad and they won't fall in love again."
"Gunther… you're saying we should sabotage their date."
"Only for their own good my little cookie."
"I don't know I'd feel bad, can you at least tell me what happened? You promised you would."
I sighed. "All right. Meet me at the address I text you at. I'll tell you what happened and we'll plan what to do about Ty and Tinka's date, okay?"
"Sounds good. I'll see you then."
"Okay bye my little cookie."
"Bye."
I felt bad doing all this to my sister but I had to. If we sabotage their date Ty will realize he doesn't like Amanda as much as Tinka. Hopefully Tinka will forget about him then. If we fail to sabotage their date Ty will fall in love with Amanda and Tinka can't be Amanda forever. She'll have to tell him who she really is some day. If she does Ty will never let her go and then Ryan will return. I know he will. And I don't want him to hurt Tinka again. I don't want him to hurt Cece. I'm just trying to keep them safe.
Okay so please review and tell me what you thought of it. Next chapter will be Ty and Amanda's date. Yes Cece and Gunther will attempt to sabotage it so Ty won't fall for Amanda, can they really sabotage their date? Okay bye guys and please review.
