Dedicated to ____(insert your name here)______ and Jake, who will never read this story :P. :)

Collin POV (because twins have a secret connection which we lie to everyone about :P nah, just because i thought you might want a convo with Brady and Collin about Cassy :P)

"Limescale hah! you know, sometimes i'm glad you're going to be stuck with that for the rest of your life and i just get it when i come over to visit my neices and nephews." i smiled at the blush which crept over my best friend's face. "Yeah, i think we all heard you planning your first children's schools and names etcetera."

"Well at least i've found the amazing girl i want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm just thinking ahead is all."

"Right, so thinking ahead is planning the exact words and place and time that you will ask her out on your first date. You know you'll chicken out, like you did a few hours after you'd imprinted on her." his blush deepened and he turned away from me, wiping another dish before setting it down on the sideboard.

"It's weird mate. i know we always said we wouldn't be those guys who planned everything with their imprints and stuff like that, but i just think that she's not had stablitiy in her life for a while and we're both to blame for that. it should be us who make dates and plan and stuff so that she doesn't have to be concerned about that stuff anymore. isn't that why i moved in?"

"You mean are in the process of moving in." i sighed and glanced over at Brady. his head was hung and he was wiping another dish slowly, thinking. "mate, they're just idiots."

"If they were idiots they would have let me stay with them while i set up home and stuff for myself." he sniffed and i looked down. "they're smart. they know i can only choose to be with her. I just can't believe my own parents made me choose being their son or being with my imprint. i mean, it's like they hate her or something. every time they mentioned her name it was like they hated saying it. i felt like i was going to explode. i'm just glad my dad packed up my stuff and left it outside so i didn't have to see them again."

"You mean you're happy about the fact that they chucked you out!?! Brades, you were crying and depressed for the rest of the day until you got to see my sister. there's no way you can be okay with what they did!" I practically shouted. We both stopped and listened for a moment until we heard the tap run off and Cassy slide in. "I'm sorry mate, but you need to tell me what happened."

"I can't. i can't tell either of you. it's too wrong what they did, their reasons were sound. they just didn't want me to be near you guys and when they couldn't stop me from being near you, they stopped me from being near her. or tried to." i stared at him, his gaze was at his hands as he wrung them.

"Brade. you're my best friend. you're practically my brother for god's sake!" he stopped wringing his hands and looked up at me, his eyes clouded with tears.

"I can't lie to you anymore Coll."

"What d'you mean?"

Cassy POV

I heard a shout downstairs but figured that Collin or Brady had decided to go against my advice and had ventured forth their hand into the dishwasher. So of course i just let them be. as i let the bubbles wash over me by moving forwards and backwards slightly in the bath, meaning the water bugs couldn't get me, i thought about my day so far.

it was with the thought of the cinema and how i'd love to babysit as soon as possible when i heard a shout from downstairs. i stopped and listened.

"What d'you mean? there's no way! my parents would never do that.... why?!"

"I don't know! why do you think i left? how can i tell the woman who i love that her parents swapped her because they wanted a boy, that our parents swapped our places at birth?!? i love her so much Coll. surely you understand that?! i can't tell her and i shouldn't have told you! If cassy finds o-..." i stared at the wall, marvelling at the colours shimmering off the black, blues, reds, whites, hazy colours as i stared before slipping under the water and laying there for a minute. just thinking.

So if i'm too wrong to be a Greene, where do i belong?
