The Twin Feeling
This week has been a rough start for me. I basically told the boy I cared for to get out of my life. I pulled through the first week of school and passing my first assignment from the hardest class. I think I've become a really studious girl. I shudder to think that's what I've become. Luckily the next week in class I get to start baking and test the skills that I soaked into my mind.
I still have a lot of thoughts that I have to fight. I feel like I've been fighting myself every day. I still have to talk to Carly which I think by now she knows what has happened. I feel like I haven't been able to be myself…well I should probably take that back.
Jade met up with me after my last class as we decided to walk around the campus. We made it to the middle of campus with a couple of easels. She took a bunch of paint and just threw on the white board. She gave me two paint cans and I just threw the can at the easel… I feel amazing as I keep throwing the paint. I haven't so alive ever since I help Spencer built the random art sculpture.
After the frustration that was the paint board, I left the area with Jade and met up with Tori. We all decided to get some food and have a minor talk.
"You feeling alright Puckett," Jade said, "You seemed a lot like yourself when we were throwing paint."
I nodded and just smiled. I'm glad that I am getting a fresh start here in Los Angeles.
"Jade caught me up on the situation," Tori said, "I hope that at least gave a boost of confidence to be here."
"It did," I said as I took another bite out of the chicken leg, "You two worry too much, let me enjoy my chicken leg."
"There's the Sam we both know," Jade said.
"Yup," Tori said, "At least she is eating normally again, "I think…"
After some more chit chat we all decided to head out to shop. I know what you are thinking, Sam Puckett, shop? Luckily for you I do shop. We ended buying a lot of ingredients. We all decided to bake some cupcakes. Jade made the filling for the inside of the cupcakes as Tori and I just made some chocolate cupcakes.
This is so much fun. I haven't felt this good since well making iCarly episodes.
After making and devouring the food with in a couple of minutes, the girls left and I just wander around my room again. I went around thinking about the things that I've had growing up. I guess I took things for granted. I never thought it would be different on my own.
I heard a knock on my door. I went over and open it. I couldn't believe who was at my door.
"Hey Sam," the girl's voice said, "Surprised?"
"Melanie," I said, "How did you…"
"Carly; plus you aren't the only Puckett who knows how to drive."
"Rental for a few"
"How else," she said as walks in.
I can't believe my sister came all the way from Vermont to see me. I wonder what else Shay has said to her.
She settles in and looked around the room. It was weird having my twin sister over to see me but surprisingly it was nice. I usually don't like my other sibling to be around but I think now I want to give this a chance.
Just as we were about to talk… a knock came at my door. I winked to my sister as she knew what I was planning.
"Second door on the right," I said…
She nodded and went into my room.
Tori walks in says she left something in my room.
"Yeah go ahead Tori," I said loud enough so Mel can here.
Tori heads to my room and I rushed to the kitchen and hide behind the counter.
Tori turns the knob and gets spooks by my sister being there.
"Hi Tori," Mel said.
"Sam," she said, "but you were just in the living room."
"What are you talking about Tori? I was in my room the whole time."
"O-o-okay well I came in to grab my wallet."
"No worries."
"I'll see you later," she said as she walks out of my room.
She walks out and see me drinking orange juice.
"Get what you need," I said without trying to laugh.
"Sam… I just…but," she said as she was confused.
Mel slowly came out and just went to the kitchen. Tori looks at me then looks and my sister and then back to me again…
"What in the; Sam you have a twin?"
"She made me do it," Melanie said in a softer voice.
We both laughed as Tori was in shocked to see that.
"This is my sister Melanie," I said, "Nice choice of clothes Mel."
"Thank you Sam," she said.
"Very funny Sam," Tori said as she walks over to Mel, "Pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise to you Tori," she said, "I'm sorry but it was hard not to pass this opportunity up."
"No worries; how long are you in town for?"
"Just for a few days… I came back to see Sam since I rarely get to see her."
Tori knew why she was here so she said her goodbyes and left. After a good laugh from Mel and I; we both sat down on the couch and just start to talk.
"Sam," she said, "How has life been since moving here?"
"I've been adjusting," I said, "it's tough not to be my actual bed at home."
"You never really like home though."
"You know me too well."
"I am your sister," she said, "So… about the situation."
"I knew it," I said, "Why else would you be here? How much do you know?"
"All of it; I think you did the right thing."
"You know you should… wait what did you just say?"
"I'm serious Sam; the way he treated you in the end it just didn't seem like him."
Wow, I never thought her and I would agree on anything. It's just I want to be with him. I still do think about him. I still have to be the tough Momma though. I don't think I want Mel to think I'm weak.
"I feel like I did the right thing," I said as I wanted to start tearing up, "I'm just not sure if I did do the right thing."
"I'm sure things will work out in the end," she said, "Don't get me wrong, I think you two would have made an interesting couple."
"Well… we've dated before."
"I knew."
"How…"
"The way he talked about the first kiss when I went on that date with him."
"Oh yeah… but it was after the fact."
"I know… we have these intuitions remember."
"Yeah I know… Mel… thanks for coming down."
She gave me a long hug, "Of course Sam," she said, "I wanted to make sure you are okay with everything. Like I said, I'm sure one day you two will be back together."
"I know," I said as I embraced the hug, "I just have to get through school first."
"You'll be fine. Come on let's get to bed. You owe me a tour of Los Angeles."
"Deal; only if you pay for lunch…"
"We will see."
I'm grateful for Melanie, even though I think she is annoying. She does know what she is talking about. I never thought I would get along with her. I think I might be able to now.
A/N: Melanie will appear in and out of the series… I think this will help Sam… sort of… I hope you enjoyed it. Read an d Review!
