The Future Trap
Chapter 8

Alex's POV

At first, I was excited to discover I have a brother, no, a twin. Don't get me wrong, I am still excited, but I also got a little hurt for my dad lying to me since always. Not once did he ever mention James. Well, I guess Mum never told James about me, either. I just wish I could know why they never told us about one another, or even just why they split up. I know my dad misses Mum a lot.

"Hey, Alex. What are you thinking about? You've been too quiet."

"Well, I guess all of this is sinking in."

"What? Us being related…brothers…twins, even?

"Yes and no. It's the fact that my - - our parents - - lied to us."

"I was thinking the same thing."

"I mean, at least once a week, we talk about her, but not once did he ever say, 'oh and by the way, your twin or your brother…' Come to think of it, no one did, not Aunt Pim, Granma, Granpa, or even Brittany, and James, you'd find that surprising if you ever get to meet them."

"Yeah, that's the same with Mom's side of the family. If they loved one another, you would think they would bring us up. Before I got dropped off, Mom said Dad left for me. It wasn't healthy for their relationship."

"So, what? Were we the reason they split up? That's worse." Suddenly, I blurted out loud, "Oh, my gosh! I just came up with, as Dad would put it, a crazy plan that seems so impossible - - that it's actual possible!"

"Uh, should I be scared…? Wait. NO! If this is one of those crazy 'twin telepathy' thing that's going on - - because I just thought of something and if it's what you're thinking of, then no way, no how am I going to trade places with you."

"Dude, you just so read my mind. Come on. Al, I need to meet Mum, plus sooner than later…."

"… one of them, if not both, will figure it out and they will have to…."

"… switch us back - - and they will possible fall back in love. By the way, Mate, this twin thing is getting really awesome. Just imagine all the pranks we could pull. We will be the camp kings of chaos by the end of summer."

On three, let's say it together. One, two, … three!"

"Let's Fix What We Broke!" we cheered as twins.

THE END

A/N The plan is worked out. Next step is to put it into motion (and a few Pranks for the camp). "THE END." I know that sounds so final. Please review this chapter and share with friends because if you're reading this (and you are) I sure would appreciate your encouragement to continue writing.
