"CJ?" I said, barely above a whisper.
Why is life so cruel?
Why is life like this?!
Wait is he also kidnapped?
"What - what are you doing here?" I asked, sitting up on my bed, all traces of sleep lost on me.
"What am I doing here? Well you're smart Alexis, I'm pretty sure you can figure it out all on your own." He said as he casually put his hand on Blake's shoulder.
Why is he acting all brotherly with him? Why is he even here?!
"Well I'm not smart. So mind explaining what the hell is going on?" I said, crossing my legs under the duvet.
"Should we tell her?" He said, looking at Blake.
"I don't see why not, it's not like she's going anywhere." Replied Blake, raising my anxiety.
They both came to sit at the foot of my bed, causing me to crawl back towards the headboard.
"Really princess? If we wanted to hurt you, we would've done that a long time ago. Besides, if we hurt you, who would we give the first seat tickets to?" Said Blake.
"Don't. Call. Me. Princess!"
"I'll call you what ever the hell I want!"
Damn. Calm your demons down.
"Shouldn't we wait for him though? He loves telling a good story." Said CJ.
"Him? There's THREE of you!!?"
What on earth!
"As I said kid, the party is just beginning."
"Well... we can always tell her our side of it before the big guy arrives. Whataya say?" Said CJ.
"Do lead the way little man."
"Call me little one more time Blake. I dare you. I double triple dare you Blakey boy." He said, looking down at him even though they were the same height.
Sorta.
I guess at this point, I'm pretty sure that they were not going to hurt me. So being the bigmouthed chihuahua that I am, I chose this exact time to piss them off.
"Ok ok boys calm down now. Someone took your crayon, boohoo. Get over it. You're grown ups. Supposedly. If you use the term very loosely. Now, come on. Down boy. Come on. Down Spike. Down Rusty." I said, stifling a laugh.
I know.
I'm supposed to be crying. Pulling my hair out. Maybe even crying for dear life. For some reason though, I was holding on to the super thin thread that CJ would somehow keep me safe.
Call me crazy.
Call me too hopeful.
Overly optimistic.
Maybe even delusional.
But I know that he is my twin. My own flesh and my own damn blood. I don't think he would do anything that would hurt me. He wouldn't just stand there as my ex-favourite teacher -turned-not-so-favourite does something to harm me. I just know he wouldn't.
Or maybe I spoke too soon.
The looks on their faces are priceless. They're both looking at me like I just told them that I'm pregnant with Double Mac twins.
"That mouth of yours is going to get you in a lot of trouble you know that?" Said CJ, as they pulled two chairs to sit next to the bed.
"Whatever. When will I be going home? Please?" I ask, weirded out by the sudden change of emotion.
"Get your head out of those dream pills you're taking Alexis. Because letting you go is not going to happen anytime soon." Said CJ with so much hatred resonating around his voice. The look on his eyes though, told a complete different story.
"But our parents are probably worried sick!! How can you do that to them?"
"Let's get one thing clear. They are your parents, not mine. They don't even deserve that title! I grew up believing that I am as unwanted as the day they let me go! I grew up wondering why they never came to search for me. I always thought that I wasn't loveable! It was all their fault! So never tell me to ever think about them, because they never spared me a single glance." His tears were overflowing and I knew then and there that he's holding in a lot more than he's letting on. But that is the time when I also realized that tricking him by means of sympathy aren't going to work. He has his mind already made up about his feelings towards his pa- my parents.
"But what have I done to you? Tell me that CJ. Tell me just one thing I have ever done to you."
"Don't take it personally. You're just a move in our chess game, and soon that would be more than over and I will have everything I ever wanted."
Blake cleared his throat.
"WE would have everything."
Then something hit me. If they're the ones behind my kidnapping, who's to say that they aren't the ones behind my friends' almost deaths.
"Don't take it personally? Like how you almost killed my friends?"
"We needed to get you guys out of the house. The only way to do that was for someone to get seriously injured. Since we all know Jaycee liked to storm off and come God knows when, I decided that I needed to mess with his breaks a little, just to get him hurt. It ended up going a little side-ways because they're a little more than hurt, but whatever. They were a part of my plan and now that part is over. Thank God."
"A part? These parts that you're talking about are my friends! YOUR friends!! What the hell is wrong with you?"
"You don't know what it's like living in poverty!! You don't know what it's like coming back home to find that there is no food!! You had everything served to you on a golden platter!!"
"So what? It's my fault that I wasn't the one kidnapped?"
"I'm blaming you and your mom and your dad and the whole damn world! I balme Jaycee and Jace and I hope both of them die and burn to death!! Yes! I'm the one who ruined their car and I had someone almost kill you, but instead it came on Sebastian. I'm not going to miss this time." He said, not flinching even once!
"Its...it... what?! It was YOU!!! It was you you disgusting piece of human waste!!" I said as I jumped him. Before he even noticed what was even going on, I landed on him and starting throwing punches to his face.
"How could you do this to me? I'm your own twin!!! Your family!!" I said throwing punch after punch. It was only for a few seconds but it felt like hours as the tears were descending down my face.
Blake came out of his shock and threw me on my bed. He then proceeded to cuff me while I tried to kick his ugly face!
"LET ME GO!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!" I screamed!
"Jeez! You kick like the energizer bunny on crack!! I said stay calm or I'll have to hurt you!"
CJ was still on the floor, bloodied and choking on his own saliva I hope. He then got up, wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand and started making his way to me.
He pulled my hair so hard and whispered in my ear.
"If you ever touch me again, I will kill you and your parents do you understand?!"
"Go to hell!" I said, my heart beating faster than a mile a second.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp sting on my legs and I looked to see Blake injecting me with a syringe. Before I let him drug me again, I mustered up all the courage and the energy I had in me and I kicked him right in the temple.
"Ow!!" He screamed as he fell on the ground, hitting the leg of the bed on his way down.
I started feeling the drug take place. Before it could fully come to effect, I was punched in the face, so hard that I lost my vision for a while, and then it all became dark.
