Katie:
I know I must be dreaming as I walk forwards. She can't really be here. The scar on the side her face causes my pause, my mind is trying to give me a flashback of her lying in car after the crash, I can't, I won't let it. She's older and seems much less shy and unsure of herself than she was back then. In fact, if she hadn't have seen me, I'd say she would be a confident, bold, happy girl. The opposite of what she had been. I want to speak but my throat has blocked up and I'm standing there unable to move, speak, or do anything, she's taken all the confidence out of me and I force myself to say this one word "Kelly?".
Kelly:
"Kelly?" she croaks. Looking at her, I know she's changed. She's no longer the confident, bossy, know-it-all I knew. She's scared, scared of what I'll make of her. I never thought I'd see her and in this moment, I think she must have run away. She must've though we were dead and run. After all, she'd been taking a picture when the crash happened, and she would be fine. Yet I can see horrors in her eyes that suggest she was captured. The things she must've seen. I can here Maddie saying "Katie? You disappeared, what happened? Kelly, you ok?" I want to reply and seem fine, but I can't move, can't speak. The I realise saying my name took all of her effort. She is waiting for me to speak, to let her know how I feel. That's a first I suppose. "Katie…" I pause thinking of something to say, but suddenly I know exactly what to do, she's scared an upset. "I don't care how you are here, I care that you're here, I love you and you're my twin and I've missed you" I don't think and pull her into a tight hug.
Katie:
A wave of relief washes over me as she hugs me. I instantly hug her back and bury my head into her shoulder, the pain of missing her disappears and is replaced with a happy relief. She actually lived. That's the only thing that I can think right now as I hold her tight. She lived and missed me. She actually missed me. I can't believe that, all I ever did was be better than her and try to ruin her stuff, yet she missed me. How? I was horrible. I know that I've still got to tell mum and dad, but I know I'm not alone. You're never alone with a twin. As we break apart she says " You're different, I feel like we switched places." "I know," I stutter back "You're more confident, and I'm… Well, a wreck. We definitely switched" I suddenly want to laugh. As she smiles at me we both start laughing hysterically. Maddie looks confused but can't help smiling and everything seems perfect.
