Dragon

Chapter 6

I'm scared of losing you, but then again, you're not even mine.

'Him' Is the famous Landon Carter. My twin brother, stepping into MY classroom. At MY school. In MY neighborhood. With MY green eyes staring into MY soul.

"London," He says with a smile.

"Landon," I said hurt, written all over my face, with tears coming out of my eyes  as he steps closer and closer to MY desk, "don't come near me" He stopped instantly watching me pick up my navy blue Jansport backpack before running out the door leaving his tear-stained face behind me, in the classroom.

Walking out of the school doors I'm stopped by someone grabbing my wrists turning around, I said the first thing coming to mind already knowing who it was.

"You said you were afraid to lose me, then you faced your fears and left," and with that, I yanked my arm and got into my car speeding off.

Landon's P.O.V 

I honestly didn't mean to leave her three years ago, right after she lost our grandma. It's just...It was too much too tough, I had to leave. Getaway for a while I was starting to hate everything around me. The noise. The music. The sun. The laughter. My twin sister, or at least I thought I hated her, but the second I left I felt lost, alone, sad, without my other half by my side as we walked and had fun like the weird twins we are. 

I didn't mean to hurt her, and you must be thinking, what a douche. Gonna leave his twin sister around a family that doesn't want her, two weeks after her grandmother, her best friend died. I felt horrible knowing when our grandma died, that she has suicidal thoughts because our grandma was the only person that cared for us in our teens years. Yes, our parents loved us as toddlers and kids, before they both chose their money and fame over their own blood.

 Thinking about how London was alone for so many years hurt my heart. I can't imagine what she had to go through, what she did to herself, or others. I remembered the first boyfriend she ever had when our grandmother died she cut all ties with him to think, he got pretty mad and made it seem like London depended on him. But London said some hurtful words.

"Don't you think for one second that I need you in my life, cause at one point we didn't know each other and I was doing just fine," she said softly before walking away leaving the entire scene behind. The thing about Londo is she likes to have the last word, it makes her be in control, more dominant. One thing I know about London Carter that no one else knows is that she can be the most dominant person you will ever meet.

London's P.O.V.

After that little segment with my twin brother, I drove to my quiet place sitting there, I sat down watching the sunset thinking about everything. My whole world is about being perfect the perfect teenager with my red hair, and green eyes covered around freckle, after freckle, so sue me when I get out of hand one time and ditch school after screaming and running out of a classroom. After about ten minutes of sitting there watching the view, I start to think about nothing and something at the same time, when I feel a tap on my shoulder I tense and slowly turned around only to be faced with pitch-black eyes, with a soft smile I turn around, and pat the grass next me to which he gladly sits down on.

"What happened back there?" He asked quietly as if he didn't want me to hear.

"My twin brother is back in town," I say ending the sentence with a 'sigh'. Facing me he asks a question.

"Why are there cuts up and down your arms?" He says.

Facing him, I answer with "I don't know," because that has become my answer to everything. Grabbing my arm he traces the cuts going in every direction with his thumb before kissing my arms and saying " a certain darkness is what's needed to see the stars" smiling I put my head on his shoulder as he snakes his arm around my waist pulling me close.

After a while, we decide to go back to my place, with him following behind my car we end up at my home in only forty minutes. Parking our cars inside the garage we walk together into the mansion and to the third story where my bedroom was but not before stopping to get snacks for Xavier. Once we make it into my room we're met with the same green eyes staring back at us.

Feeling the tension I introduce those two, "Landon this is my friend Xavier, Xavier this is my twin brother Landon" They shake hands before joining me onto my bed. Popping in a movie the boys start to open the snacks, not even asking for permission what a bunch of pigs! 

I was snapped out of my thoughts when a scoop of ice cream came into my mouth glaring at Landon who shoved the ice cream in my mouth, I throw the sour patch kids on his head earning a groan of annoyance from Xavier who was happily munching on them.

Giggling I turn to Xavier and say "Oh it's ok Xavier I got a little something for u too" and grabbed the Hot Cheetos dumping them into his shirt. He yelled before smashing my head into the bucket of ice cream.

Thinking one thought- the food fight is on, I grab whatever I can and throw food at both of them boys as they return the favor. After an hour of having fun, I walk Xavier to his car giving him a little hug before turning around only to pulled back into his arms, I was going to say something but before I got the chance too he put his lips on mine starting the kiss gently, we soon fought for dominance, after pulling away he rested his head on mine and mumbling the words "I had fun" before getting into his car and driving away. Walking into the house I bite my swollen pink lips before blushing a horrible crimson color and marching up to my room, I clean up the mess and do my night-time routine before getting into bed I yell goodnight to Landon who seems to be asleep already. 

Getting into bed I realize that I'm lying in bed unable to sleep thinking about you and at this moment I wonder if maybe your lying in bed unable to sleep thinking about me.
