Liz's POV
After I got home last night, I had planned on telling Kim what happened on my date and then talk about the whole baby-thing, but instead, I received a lecture.
"Elizabeth Marie Crawford! Do you have any idea what time it is?" My mother fumed.
"Uh, 8:30?"
"Yes! A whole hour after you were supposed to be home!"
"I'm really sorry. The time just flew by." The look on my parent's faces said that they didn't care.
"Usually you're so responsible, Elizabeth!"
"Well, what about Kim? I didn't see our car in the driveway!" I silently apologized to Kim, hoping she didn't in too much trouble when she got home.
"Kimberly had your friend Jerry come here and drop her off."
Well, it was nice knowing ya world!
"As your punishment, you are not allowed to go out with Jack any longer."
"What! But it's not his fault! Why punish the both of us!" Dad's dark eyebrows raised up. "I don't know where this attitude is coming from, and I do not like it! If this continues, we will not hesitate to ground you. And believe me, you do not want that. That means no TV, no cell phone messaging, no electronics, no nothing! Now go to your room!" I stormed upstairs, tears of anger flowing down. My parents just don't get me and Kim. They never have. At times that's a good thing, because that's partially why me and Kim are so close, because we never had our parents there to understand what problems we had, but we had each other. I closed my door angrily. A few minutes later, Kim knocked on my door. I knew it was her because I've memorized the sound of her footsteps.
"I heard them yelling. You alright?" Liz nodded sadly. "I know what will make you feel better." Kim walked out of my room and was back in a minute carrying a Hershey bar. I smile. Kim always knew exactly what I needed. "Hey, I need to finish up some homework. I'll be back in a while." Kim said, closing the door behind her.
Kim's POV
I think I'm slowly dying inside. I can't believe I did that to my own twin. But I deserve Jack! And I've done so much for Liz over the years... And so has she. Ugh!
The next Day
Kim's POV
After the alarm went off, I could hear Liz coughing and then running to our bathroom. The sound of vomiting followed. I am a horrible person. I sigh, going downstairs. I see Mom, making breakfast horridly so she could get to work on time. "Where's Elizabeth?" She asks, put a plate of eggs before me. "She's sick, I think. I think I heard her throw up, but I don't know." My mom worriedly goes upstairs. She comes back downstairs just as I finished my breakfast. "Poor Elizabeth..." She mumbled, fixing another plate and running it upstairs. I enter my room and try to decide what to wear. I decided on a strapless coral colored top and a flowing white skirt that went to my knees, and coral heels. I finished with a gold belt and earrings, with some light makeup, and I let my golden hair stay loose. I grabbed my purse/bookbag and drove to school. I see Jack waiting in our usual spot and smile. He does the same once I walked up. "Hey Kim."
I should have known he'd know! But I still raised my eyebrows in fake confusion. "Oh, is that you Liz? Sorry, I can usually tell you two apart. But where's Kim?" Yes! My plan still worked! "She wasn't feeling well." I lied. "Aww, poor Kim." He said, pulling me close. My heart beat so hard I'm surprised he couldn't feel it.
"Aww, there's the happy couple!" Jerry remarked, Milton following behind him. I smile happily,, wishing it was real.
"Where's the other one?" I roll my eyes then tell him that Kim is sick. The five minute bell rings, and the four of us go our separate ways. Jerry and Milton together, leaving Jack and I alone. "I missed you yesterday." He said sweetly. "We just saw each other yesterday!" Kim giggled, like Liz would. "I know, and I still couldn't get you out of my head." Kim's heart fluttered. Jack leaned forward for a kiss. I've had a few boyfriends before, and I've had more than a few kisses in my day, but none were like this, passionate, sweet, and gentle, like an intense gathering of two souls. Jack drew back, looking...amazed? Spellbound? Shocked? Kim wasn't sure.
"Liz that was... so different."
"So intense." Kim breathed.
"So..." Jack trailed off and kissed her again, hungry for the passion that had fueled their last kiss. The simpler way to put it was we were late for our first class.
After school
"So how ya feelin, Liz?" I asked, trying to sound upbeat. "Like crap." She answered weakly. Guilt filled my insides instantly, but I swallowed it down. "That's too bad. Anything I can get you?" She paused for a minute, thinking. "Some orange juice would be nice."
"You got it." I go retrieve her juice and hand it too her. I go back to my room to do my homework and plan my outfit for my date with Jack tonight. But mostly the second thing.
