Chapter 4 : You don't always get what you want

Kim quickly dropped the paper back on the desk and went towards her bed as she heard footsteps coming towards the room. When Jessica walked in, she pretended to be reading. Jessica sat back down at the desk, probably to get back to her homework. She could feel Kim's eyes staring into the back of her head, but she just ignored it. No way did she want to talk to Kim. She got back to her homework. She was pretty sure that Kim had seen what she had put. And she was glad. She wanted to hurt Kim, because somehow, to Jessica, it was Kim's fault. The problem with being a twin is that you never get your own room, your own stuff, your privacy. Kim had robbed Jessica of her privacy, whether she was aware of it or not. Kim opened her mouth to try and say something to Jessica, but was interrupted. "Kids! Lunch is on the table!" Tom called. Jessica sprung from her chair and out of the door. And slammed it behind her. Kim sighed, fighting back the tears, and opened the door again.

When Kim got downstairs, she sat in her normal seat and felt Jessica flinch when she sat next to her. "Um, Sarah, would you kindly swap with me?" Jessica asked. Sarah looked confused. "Uh, why?" She asked. "Just do it ok!" Jessica snapped. There was silence as Sarah moved and sat next to Kim. Kim reached for Jake's hand under the table, and felt relieved when he squeezed it sympathetically. Everyone ate in silence. "Jessica, would you please pass me the orange juice?" Kim said politely. Jessica didn't move, or look up. "Jessica?" Kim repeated.

Tom got impatient. "Jessica your sister is talking to you!"

Jessica stood up. "She's not my sister! Don't you guys understand? Why are you all acting so normal? She doesn't belong with us. She's not a Baker."

"Yes she is. You guys have known her since she was born. She's a true Baker. Okay?" Kate shouted.

"No she is not! She should be in an orphanage right now! Not our house!" Jessica screamed.

"Jessica – how can you talk that way about someone you've spent every second with for your whole life?" Nora asked.

Jessica turned away, and as she walked towards the door she muttered, "Because I wish I hadn't spent it with her."

Kim began to choke on her tears. She didn't make a sound, just let them roll down her cheeks. "Kim, are you okay?" Charlie asked gently. She wiped the tears away. "Yeah. I'm fine. You know what I'm not that hungry. May I be excused?"

Tom gave her a small smile, "Of course you can sweetheart."

Kim returned the smile. "Thank you."

Kim knew she couldn't go into her room, Jessica would still be mad. So she just sat on the top stair, and let the tears roll freely down her face. She buried her head in her hands. Footsteps came up the steps, and she felt the warmth of a body next to her. A skinny arm went around her waist. "Kimmy? You okay?" It was Jake. Kim had enough of lying about how she was coping. "No." She spluttered. Jake wiped tears from her cheeks. "You know what – I'm gonna sort this out."

Before Kim could stop him, Jake had stormed into Jessica's room, dragging Kim along by the hand. Jessica looked up in surprise. "Look, you can't ignore Kim forever, Jessica!" He shouted.

Jessica's look of surprise turned to a look of anger. "I can do what I want Jake!"

"No you can't! I know this might be hard for you, but imagine how hard it's been for Kim!"

"Why is that the only person anyone cares about? Everyone keeps saying, Oh poor Kim – it must be terribly difficult for her! Well what about me? Don't you realize it's just as hard for me? To find out that your twin isn't part of the family – never has been. No one has asked how I'm doing – there all to fussed about how poor little Kimmy's doing. Well what about poor little Jessica?" Jessica screamed. Jake tried to put his arm around her, but she pushed him away. "I understand, Jessie. But all she wants is for you to talk to her again."

Jessica turned away. "You don't always get what you want…"

And you don't. Nobody wanted to move to Evanston, nobody wanted Mark to run away, nobody wanted Kim to be adopted. But all of those things happened anyway. And Kim had started to figure out, more often then not, you won't get what you want.

Okay I know it was my worst chapter but I had to get that conflict over with. Keep reading! Love Kaylee (Princess Angel) xxx
