"We were born sick,
you heard them say it
My church offers no absolution
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
― Take Me To Church, Hozier
Her ears started to buzz and her brain was screaming but still Barbara managed to turn at her brother and with a pretty clearly scared face ask, beg him "- We really need to go, right K?" - She read the thoughts in his head.
"- YES!" - maybe too loud "- I had forgotten we really only just came for a quick visit" - He wasn't that good at lying but barb figured it would be enough for now… She grabbed his sleeve and with a fast hand sign waved goodbye to the strangers that looked like their parents and practically ran out of the school doors. As she walked the farther away from that place possible her thoughts couldn't leave her alone... It wasn't them. It couldn't be them, right? RIGHT? THIS COULD NOT BE HAPPENING! The tears fell and fell at such a rhythm that everything was now blurry and she was forced to stop walking.
After a long silence, fulfilled only with hurt sobs, his voice came out sounding at once so wise and yet horrified:
"- So there was a reason why it hurt so much to talk about the past. I always figured it was some silly fight. Something that both of the families had against us or the one their child had fallen for. I guess I should say only one now… the family had indeed a great motive to be against THEY ARE FUCKING RELATED, they were born together, they are disgusting!"
"- SHUT UP! SHUT UP HANK! How can you talk like that about mom and dad!? YOU! YOU DISGUST ME!" - She turned away from him so that he would at least believe partially in her lie. The girl still refused to believe in what she had heard, there were two options, or they had heard it wrong or they had mistaken that two strangers for their parents. There was not a third, it couldn't be true. When he held her arms and told her that it was true, she didn't believe it. When he screamed at her that she had seen it herself, she chose to ignore. But when his eyes locked in hers and she saw her brothers eyes filled with tears she understood, he never cries. It was true.
They became lost in thoughts, inside their heads filled with uncertainty.
"- What are we?" - He finally spoke "- Are we fricks? Are we what is called sinful? Are we evil?"
"- Can't you just shut up for god's sake? How can you even think that?"
"- HOW? Because it's true? You haven't thought that? BECAUSE WE'RE EVERY TYPE OF WRONG THERE IS TO BE, aren't we?" - He went beyond now, beyond everything, he was mad, upset and most of all sad.
"- I'm not defending them Hank, but I keep getting back to the same thought: why is it SO wrong? Explain to me, think for one second what we saw every day while we grew up, they love each other! They did what they did for love, so how can we judge…? I'm trying, GOD I'M TRYING not to listen to what we learned about right and wrong. Because one of the first things I think when you talk about happiness is our parents marriage, so how can their love be so wrong if they love each other so dearly and love us with all their hearts? Hank look at me and forget about labels, think only with your heart. Say it, say you know it too. Please."
"- I don't know Bb, I guess it's true but I still feel like it could have been stopped… Didn't they know better than bring two children into a world that can never accept them if the truth gets out?"
"- M-Maybe when you fall for the right person there's just nothing you can do? Maybe, just maybe, they chose this life hiding from their family because their love was too big to stay hidden…"
"- Have you ever been in love?"
"- No" - she hadn't "- You?"
"- No."
The siblings weren't sure whether they had agreed on it but for now it would be ok, they had to think what to do next and the worries could stay for later, if you asked them: much, much later. Barb looked around and found herself lost, and for the first time since she got there, her methodical-self took over, she looked in her pulse for the watch - 3:07 pm - still early. Next she checked her pockets for money, not so lucky, five dollars.
"- Hank how much money do you have? It's still 3pm but we really need to start thinking about where we're gonna stay until we can get back."
"- I have only 10 bucks sis. And my cards but I don't think they will work for something since we haven't even been born yet" - He already knew 10 dollars wouldn't do a thing at helping them to pay somewhere to stay and the expenses for two mouths eating, but old habits don't die and jokes are his favorite way to bother her.
"- I'm being serious here! We have no money and nowhere to stay! Maybe you could sto-"
"- You don't have a place to stay?" - Phoebe had that annoying thing of hearing strangers' talks but Max until this day had never seen her actually intrude in a conversation, his sister was indeed a huge pain. - Sorry, I heard what you said. We met earlier today remember? - The girl, was it Barbara, murmured something like how to forget but didn't say anything for a fact, so big mouth continued "- You could totally stay with us if you want to..."
The homeless twins looked at each other, they had no money and didn't know anybody other than this two and the blond girl, it wasn't really a choice, they had to accept the invite, but still staying with their parents suddenly looked like the worst idea all together.
