Chapter One:

Summer has been really tough for Patricia. Her perfectly perfect twin Piper had been home all summer just like her. It's not like Patricia hated her it's just that it's hard to be anything with the walking model of perfection with you every waking hour.

Her parents were hard on her. "Why do you wear so much black?" "That skirt is way too short!" "Go to the gym you're looking a little pudgy!" "Go follow your sister and learn how not to be an antisocial freak!" Well maybe they didn't say the last one but that's honestly where Patricia thought these little digs would eventually end up.

She shut herself in her room mostly, only coming out for food or to grab more movies from the cabinet downstairs. Their house was too perfect for Patricia's taste. They lived at the end of a narrow street, houses on both sides. Her family was in the cul-de-sac, the largest house. There was a perfect pool outside sitting on top of a perfect lawn, with three perfect floors, a perfect kitchen and perfect rooms. She was sick of it, sick of everything.

Patricia decided that she would go visit her gran in Delaware. Her gran lived in Rehoboth, a small town near the beach. She hadn't seen her in some time and it just so happens her boyfriend lives there. Patricia backed her bags bought her ticket and after everything was planned told her parents. They agreed, but Patricia knew it was only because they loved the idea of having her out of the house. They even drove her to the airport the next morning.

The car ride was awkward and silent; when it was time to finally say goodbye she was relieved to be free. She wasn't planning on telling Eddie she was coming; she thought it should be a surprise. The plane ride was easy, she slept through most of it and after her flight her gran was there to pick her up.

She liked her gran; she was an artist who lived in a messy house with a nice view. She could care less about who you are and what your imperfections were, just because of this you could tell why her son had moved all the way to England, found a wife, had kids, and kept them a secret until his twins had demanded an answer as to who she was.

They drove back to her house silently, Patricia was too tired to talk and her gran respected that. She woke up very early the next morning, earlier than she planned. She had been extra careful in the outfit she put on and did something special, which never happens, with her makeup. She was going to see Eddie today. Her gran, Lynda, had offered to take her to see town, but Patricia knew what she wanted to do. Her gran said goodbye and then went to the beach. As soon as she left Patricia poured herself some orange juice and looked in the mirror one last time.

Since Patricia couldn't drive it was a good thing Eddie lived across the street. It wasn't until she stepped out of the door when it occurred to her that maybe Eddie didn't want to see her. Maybe he moved on, maybe he wasn't that into her in the first place. She hesitated before taking another step, she came here for him. She took a step onto the road. At least he would talk to her, another step. Soon she was standing outside his door. It was too early maybe he was asleep she thought. She took a step back, getting ready to leave and then without thinking knocked.
