Skye P.O.V
It was two and a half hours of silence, hurt and tears before a message beeped through my samsung phone.
Come over don't be mad, keep your cool, its bad. Really bad. Xx A
Don't be mad? Keep my cool? Is that it? That's gonna be pretty hard when I've just found out my biological parents separated me from my twin.
My other half.
Pain and hurt washed over me, like a huge wave. Trapping me, so I had no choice other than to let it engulf me.
Nevertheless I grabbed a small shoulder bag and headed out. Passing the familiar ice-cream parlour and the small local park I stopped at the small blue door. Bracing myself, I let my hand hover over the door, before dropping it to my side.
Coward. A voice sneered in my head menacingly.
I turned around and swung open the gate, before the door opened with a small click. I froze.
"Your not invisible you know," a small voice said behind me.
Turning on my heel to face the door, Ameera gave a sad smile and nodded towards the hallway. I followed her into the house and stepped gingerly into the lounge. Lauren and Patrick were sat stiffly on the leather couch, Ameera's parents sat opposite them hugging their son Yahya and day dreaming, whilst a social worker scribbled away on a clipboard furiously.
"Good morning," I boomed.
They all looked suprised at the sudden loud noise. The social worker cleared his throat.
"Good morning Miss Whitworth please take the seat provided, Ameera beside your parents if you please, errrr your Mother would be a better choice, ahh that's it, now, I'm David, call me David, and I'm now your social worker, I'm just gonna sit over there and listen, if anything gets our of hand I'll be here to help," David smiled grimly, wrinkling his nose.
Freak.
I licked my dry chapped lips and nodded shaky. Turning to face Ameera's Mum, or, my Mum, I opened my mouth and inhaled deeply.
"Why?" I managed to whimper.
A moments silence.
"Start from the beginning," Ameera whispered, sinking down into the leather.
"On 5th of July 1991, we expected twins," Dad began, "We were delighted, Ameera was born three minutes and fourty eight seconds earlier than you, when we had you both in our arms, we couldn't have asked for more, but three days later, it all went wrong, when you'd started to open your eyes I noticed something wrong, only one of your eyes could open,"
He exhaled deeply as though in regret. Letting Mum take the story over.
"We want straight to the hospital, as soon as they managed to open it, it wasn't there,"
"What?"
"You looked completely normal but, you were missing an eyeball,"
I began to laugh, and I laughed harder, so hard that in turned manical. Panic began to overtake me, jerking every emotion in my body. It was to much to take, first Ameera, now this?
By that time Mum was crying, her loud sobs echoed in the room. Dad was shaking his head as if trying to rid the memory, and Ameera sat there as if she would rather be sitting in hell.
"But I have two eyes, and I can see perfectly," I stated.
"At the age of twelve they put you to sleep for fourty eight hours to do the glass eyes surery,"
"But, how?"
"Because something wrong must have happened, God chose for you to be like this,"
"Errrr, I'm an Atheist, "
"Oh, uhh,"
"Which.....one?"
"Your left,"
My hand instantly touched my left eye. Suddenly I became light headed and the world seemed to swim around me. Colours and memories burned the back of my skull. I screamed.
"But the worst thing is, she's ashamed,"
"Hi, I'm Ameera I'd like a triple fudge ice cream, vanilla chunks, wafer, four flakes, and oh, I have a voucher,"
"Is she okay?"
"Skye, Skye, say something,"
"Baby, please, we found you, and we don't want to loose you again,"
"SKYE PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!"
A world of pitch black closed in on me, peace. At last.

"Skye?"
My eyelids seemed ten times heavier than normal but at last I manage to open them. Ameera gave a relieved sigh and slumped down. We were still at Ameera's house, then I remembered.
How complicated can my life get?
Ameera squeezed my hand and the tension instantly eased. I felt a small click in my brain.
Its true. Believe it and accept it. A small voice said in my head.
I stared at Ameera.
So this is what twin talk feels like.
Cool huh? Please Skye think of the possibilities, we could become a real family.
They left me because I was ugly.
Because they were scared Skye.
"Please," she pleaded, this time aloud.
"Skye, we regret it, please forgive us," Dad said gruffly, appearing at my side.
But it'll scar my life forever.
Scars fade.
I looked at Ameera's crumpled, hurt face, Mum held her breath. Turning towards Dad his expression was hard, but his eyes were swimming with love and concern.
And for the first time in my life.
I felt like I had a family.
Taking a deep breath I nodded slowly.
"Your strong," Ameera smiled gently.
I smiled back. Because she was one-hundred percent right.
