Eddie's POV

All I could do was watch as I saw Patricia's hair fly by and then she was out the door Astrid had exited seconds ago. I hope she can help me fix things I know I messed up pretty badly. I sighed and then turned around to see my dad staring at me. By now everyone had left the hallway so we were alone to talk.

"I'm sorry" we both said at the same time. I smirked knowing that if Patricia was here she would make a comment about me being a teachers pet.

"Edison I know I wasn't there for you or your sister until recently and I understand that you were trying to protect her but we have to promise each other no more secrets. Understood?"

"Yeah I understand and I really am sorry." I replied glad the conversation was going well.

"I know and I forgive you. Now don't you have a class to go to. Hurry up you don't want to be late." and with that he left to go to his office and I went to class wondering if my life would ever be free of drama.


Astrid's POV

All I could do was run. Run away from my brother and my so called father who I though was dead. I mean how could they do this to me? How could they lie to me? I was on my way back to Isis house so I could get away from all the lies and betrayal when I heard someone call my name. I thought it was Eddie so I snapped him.

"Don't you have some more lies to tell or secrets to spill!"

"No. I was planning on doing that tomorrow." replied a voice that was anyone's but my brother's. When I turned around I saw a girl who was a little taller then me with straight auburn hair and piercing green eyes. I immediately recognized her as Eddie's girlfriend and inwardly groaned at my stupidity.

"I am so sorry I thought you were my brother."

"Don't worry I understand." After a moment of silence she spoke again. "I saw what happened at school and was wondering if you were okay." she said gently.

"Yeah I'm fine why wouldn't I be!" I snapped a little harshly.

"Listen I know how you feel my parents divorced when I was little and split up so I was raised by my dad and my twin sister was raised by my mom. In fact I didn't even know I had a twin until I was 11. So if you ever want to talk I'm here." and with that she turned around and started walking away as if I was never rude to her in the first place. For some reason I respected that.

"Wait!" I called after her. She turned around surprised. "I am sorry again I shouldn't have been so rude."

"It's okay." she replied.

"So um... thanks for uh what you said it means a lot knowing I'm not alone."

"No problem anything to help." she smiled "Hey would you like to walk back school with me? I could use the company."

"Sure that sounds great!" I replied eagerly walking to her.

"I'm Patricia by the way. Eddie's girlfriend."

"I know he talks about you all the time." She blushed when I said this and I smirked. That's when I thought of it.

"Hey I was wondering if you would like to shopping with me on Saturday. I could only pack so much in my suitcase. Plus I could really use a girls opinion and all the girls in my house are busy."

"Sure" she replied "I could use a girl's night out."

"Perfect!" I responded and with that we were on our way back to school laughing and gossiping just like I used to back home. Who knows maybe this year won't be so bad after all? But of course I was wrong, very very wrong.


So that's it! I hope you like it and I will try to update as soon as possible but my schedule is very busy. Also please review my story. Suggestions and ideas about how to improve my story are very much appreciated!
