The Aquadale

(Lisanna)
I am on my way back to the house, I am not crying nor even wanting to yell any moment from now on. I do not know but I always have that kind of a feeling that Axel could be cheating on me in the first place, and now I just heard it loud and clear- they had been having it for months.
"Lisa!" I was surprised that someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me to somewhere.
"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed to him as I aggressively removed my wrist on him.
"You have to hear me out." he said to me as I saw in his eyes the desperation for something I was not being sure about.
"Really? Do you still want to feed me with other lies when I am already full and was about to vomit on your face?" I sarcastically asked as I scoffed at the same time.
"I am really sorry, I did not mean to hurt you at all." he started as I let out a deep sigh and crossed my arms. I only nodded at him, just to tell him to keep going even though I do not have the like to listen to all of his gibberish.
"I love you, but Kisa, she lets me do things that I have not been doing with you. I see what the world can offer, I see how I can improve myself more. Please do not hate me." he continuously said to me as I nodded.
"Alright, I would not. Are you now done?" I plainly asked to him.
"Lisa, you have to be serious about this. I do not want to leave you and you would be crying all night because of this." he said and with that, I burst out laughing. It really sounds so funny to me that I even cried some tears out from my eyes, my stomach aches as I am currently panting while catching my breath.
"Lisa." he said as I tried to calm myself down.
"You are such a jerk." I plainly said to him and stopped laughing. I wiped the tears on my face and smirked at him.
"See? I shed a tear over your joke, much more about this break up." I said as I started walking away from him.
"Lisa! I told you, I did not mean it!" I can still hear him said those words to me.
"Then tell her that you did not mean to love her, instead!" I answered as I waved my hand while still facing my back at him. I continued walking and in just some minutes, I reached the house, as I quickly entered and went over the dining table.
"Why do you look like you have been on a hunger strike?" Ris asked to me who is currently in the living room, sitting on the couch while eating some chips.
"Unfortunately, the convenience store is now on the verge of closing down." I answered as I heard her chuckles.
"Why? Are they now offering food that is near the expiry date?" she jokingly asked as I stared on her.
"No, because my relationship just expired." I answered as I noticed her stopped moving and stared at me.
"Oh My God! That sure ends quick." she commented as I sarcastically laughed at her.
"No, seriously. I thought it would be longer this time. Are you cursed, my dear sister?" she exclaimed to me as I let out a deep sigh.
"I do not know, but I feel like I am very unlucky with the boys I am dating with." I answered as I sat on the chair.
"Aww, that is alright. There will be someone planned for you." she said as she tried to comfort me out.
"You know that I would not be like this if you did not seduce my first boyfriend, right?" I said to her and she rolled her eyes.
"That was ages ago! And, he really does not know the difference. So, just think that I was only pretending to be you." she nonchalantly answered as I scoffed in disbelief.
Risanna and I were fraternal twins but we still do have huge similarities in physical appearance. We are not identical, but as a twin, you will be confused about who is which of which.
"So, what do you plan now?" she asked like she was interested in it.
"Nothing, pack my things and start a fresh one at the Aquadale." I answered and she nodded.
"Yeah, you should better be. Mom called me earlier and she said that we would be leaving early in the morning, tomorrow." she said as I stared at her surprised.
"What? I need to say goodbye to my friends!" I exclaimed as she scoffed.
"Do you think you are the only one who has got friends? We do not have any time, twin." she answered as I sighed.
"Oh, I ordered something to eat. Mom did not cook for us." she said as she started to watch the TV once again. I shook my head as I walked upstairs, and decided to continue packing out.
The next day came as I woke up early, I heard noises downstairs as I knew that they were now moving the boxes that we cleaned up last night. It is full of our things that we thought that we could use in our new house at Aquadale. After I finished my morning routine, I looked around my room, which is now literally an empty space. I have lived here for years since I was a kid and now I will just leave it that easy.
"Lis, we are now leaving." I saw Ris standing by the door as I silently nodded. I grabbed my phone as I looked on the screen, there were still some messages coming from Axel but I was just ignoring everything. I went out of the room, as I saw them outside the house and getting in the car. I followed them as I quickly get in to the back seat, waiting for them to finish the things up.
Dad started to drive away from this neighborhood, I looked out of the window as we drove in the streets where I spent all of my childhood. I saw Axel walking on the street as I knew that he was on his way towards our house, as I let out a deep sigh and looked at Ris.
"Mom, Lis forgot something." she suddenly said beside me.
"Really? Then, we will wait for you here, okay?" mom said as I plainly smiled at her and dad stopped the car.
"You are the best." I whispered to Ris before I got off of the car. I ran towards Axel as I called his name.
"Axel." I plainly said, but enough for him to look back on me.
"Lisa! Hey, I know I have been such a jerk. But I realized your true value to me, I still love you in the end." he continuously said to me as I smiled, at how he looked too desperate to tell me everything.
"Axel, I am leaving. Even if what you have said is true, I cannot accept you again. So, I have to go, they were waiting for me." I calmly said to him as I smiled, the moment I pointed at the back.
"Lisa." he mumbled to me as I hugged him tight for the last time.
"Thank you for loving me even in a short span of time." I whispered as I smiled, and walked away. I got in the car once again as I nodded at mom, then dad started to drive once again.
The drive continued for hours. I think as I saw the sun starting to strike directly at the land, we drove for about five hours before we arrived at the entrance of the village. Dad continued to drive towards the place as I saw nothing but the forest, the houses were distanced from each other, like the neighbors were not seeing each other quickly.
"We are here." I snapped as I heard dad's voice. I quickly removed my seatbelt as I got off of the car.
"Whoa!" I was surprised to hear that voice and when I looked behind me, I saw a guy riding his bicycle and was about to bump into me.
"Did I just evade my death, right now?" I exclaimed absent mindedly.
"Well, I did not literally bump into you. So technically, there is no any accident yet." he sarcastically answered as I scoffed.
"Even so, that is what would happen if you did not hit that break of yours." I answered and he smiled.
"Yeah, that is why there has no accident happen." he insists, I stared on him for a while as he began to look around.
"This is awkward, I should go." he suddenly said to me.
"Are you not going to apologize?" I asked as I heard him scoff.
"Why would I? As you have said, you evaded it." he answered as I scoffed too at the same time.
"But it is your fault. If you did not ride your bike close to our car." I said and he shook his head as an answer.
"No, that is because you suddenly opened the door without looking it out." he answered.
"Did someone have already told you that you are such a stubborn one?" I asked and he sarcastically smiled.
"Not really, but I think I am." he directly answered.
"And an arrogant too?" I said.
"Well, that is not included." he said as I smirked and walked towards him slowly.
"Then guess what? You just added one." I mumbled as I walked away from him.
Alright, I suddenly hate Aquadale now.
