Fallen in Love with My Twin - Redemption

Episode 2 - Betrayal

IDRIS

I ignored all the calls from Jack and switched off my phone, and blocked everything out, maybe my grandparents are correct. Jack and I are never loved as I thought, he hasn’t. I cried to myself, What can I do with my life when I don’t have Jack? How could he do that to me? Was it my fault that I pushed him?. When I try to think about how it would have been if I didn’t push Jack and opened the door on that day or never broke up with him. I would have had him. But If he loves me truly will he have fallen for someone? Maybe grampy knows about it. There was a knock on a door, I can hear the children screaming “Trick or Treat” from the other side of the door. I ignored it. After a few knocks, the kids gave up and gave me the privacy which I had before they knocked. After a few minutes, the doorbell rang, Jess’s doorbell is not where a kid can touch. Who could it be at this time? When I tried to ignore it, It rang again. I collected myself and wiped all the tears and straightened my dress before I walked to open the door. That’s where the surprise is waiting for me. Jack is standing there like a model came from a magazine with the black rose bouquet in his hand but he is sadder than me. As soon as I saw him, I forgot everything and I jumped on him, I clung my arms around his neck. I don’t know how I could find comfort in him when he is the one who hurts me the most. He still smells like mint and honey. I inhaled and let it fill my lungs. I’m still mad at him, I still want to throw whatever I can grab to his face. But, It’s been ten months, I haven’t seen him, I haven’t heard his voice, I haven’t heard him calling my nicknames. When I pull back, his eyes are filled with tears too. He takes my face in his hands to kiss me which makes me furious. I abruptly pulled back, like a lighting strike at me, and stepped backward. 

“Idris..” He tries.

“Don’t,” I say, I shouldn’t let myself near him, but he has control over me which I hate now.

He steps forward, “Stop. Right there.” I said stopping him with my hand. He follows.

“I’ve missed you so much, Please Let me” He pleaded.

I shook my head, I folded my arms after I wiped the tears, “You hurt me, You hurt me so much I can’t forgive you.” I say.

He pleads with his eyes, “Please”

I took another step back until my leg hit the edge of the couch. “You lied to me. You LIED to me. I can’t trust you anymore.” I say I can taste my own tears

“What? No!” He looks offended, “Whatever you saw at the airport isn’t true.”

How does he know I was there? Of course, He does, I was there and the rose he is holding was I dropped it there. How could he still lie to me even after I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears? Am I so dope that I can believe anything he says. Maybe I was but not anymore.

“It doesn’t matter.” I try to not care.

He steps towards me, “It does, Idris. I know what you are thinking. She came with her boyfriend..” I stop him.

“Enough, Jack. I’m so sick of hearing all your lies.” I say, my leg became weak. But I still want to trust him, I want to find my comfort in him, I still want to believe whatever he says, I still love him, with all my heart. But Does he love me? I don’t want to be humiliated.

He looks offended, confused, “I’m not lying to you, Baby girl..” I stopped him.

“Stop calling me that,” I say gritting my teeth.

He is startled by my words, “Idris, Please, Give me a chance” He begs.

“Give you a chance? For what? You can again go screw anyone you want and tell me all your life I’m the only one?” I am hurt more than I pushed him ten months back. I hate that I’m crying.

“What? What is it?” He asks confused, “You’re the only one, No one else,” He says coming near to me.

“Enough, Jack. This is too much for me to handle.” I say I want to run away from him, from anyone he knows. I want to go as far as I could from him.

“Idris, Please give me a chance to explain everything, All these ten months I was waiting for this moment, And I know I screwed it up.” He admits. He kneels in front of me, “Please, It was just a joke..” I cut him off.

“She stuck her mouth on your ear and she was on your back. And it was just all a joke to you?” I smirk. “Maybe it is, to a player like you, but not to me,” I say, stand up to live in the house. He grabbed my hand, I yanked my hand from him.

“Marcel was mad at her for something, and she used me to make him feel jealous to get him back,” Jack says in a single breath.

Who the hell is Marcel? “You are a good liar” I scoff.

“Idris, Please.” He begs on his foot. I looked into his eyes, where I once saw my future, but now all I can see is betrayal.

“I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to be anywhere near to you,” I say walking out of the house. I forget the keys inside and I don’t want to go inside. So I decided to walk to nowhere. Jack follows me, I ignored his pleading.

“Idris, I don’t know what you are thinking, But at least tell me what it is? I’m dying without knowing what I’m being accused of.” He says plainly.

I wiped my tears and walked fast but he was faster than me, he stopped me and grabbed my hand and turned to make me stumbled on his chest. He holds me securely. I tried to step away but he is strong and he is resisting. “I love you, Only you Idris. All my life, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” He says looking straight at my eyes, wiping the tears from my cheeks with his thumb. I know he loves me but why does he have to lie to me all the time, fooling me. It's okay If I'm not the only one in his life, I just can't bear being fooled and he lying to me. 

“You can’t fool me anymore,” I say, He tried to kiss me but I turned my face away.

“What is happening?” A lady cop asked us. Jack pulled back, “Is he bothering you?” She asks.

“It’s nothing big. We were just talking.” Jack says annoyed.

I turned to blink my eyes fast to escape from my tears, “Do you know him?” the cop asks. I know him for my entire lifetime, Or at least that’s what I believed.

“No” I blurt out, Jack is shocked by my response.
