Nicole's POV:

                               May 18,2004

     Running around the meadow, with lake next to it. Eric and I are playing tag. Momma said to be careful. We didn't listen.

      I tripped on a small rock. Water hitting my skin. Little air inside me. "Mommy." i tried yelling, now less air. Suffocating, drowsy, lightheaded. I grab onto the deck, trying to pull myself. I can't. I start to panic.

     I hold onto the rails to prevent me to go back into the dark water. I felt a strong grasp on my wrist. I try to breathe air back into my lungs.

     I break through the surface, gasping and flopping like a fish caught on a fishing line. Then i get tossed onto deck-

     No, its a bed. I look around, a young man is staring at me with widen eyes.

          "Nicole. he said still shocked

           I answered with the only name I remember a the moment, "Skylar?"

          "No." he said sternly, "I'm Nathan."

          "Oh." I said, "How long was I asleep?"

          "About 4 weeks." he said

          "Do I know you?" I asked

          "Wait. You don't remember me?" he asked with sad eyes

          "Am I supposed to?"

         "Well yea. I'm your best friend since middle school." he said

     He seems so familiar. Something inside me is telling me to trust him, but the rest isn't.

         "Nathan." he looked up, "As in the guy who left me for Matthew!" I raised my voice

         He scratched the back of his neck, "Yea."

       "When will I ever get out of here?" I asked

      "Whenever you feel like it." he smiled

      "Can I leave now?"

     "Just let me check with the doctor." he stood up and left

          "Thanks." I whispered

     Something in the pit of my stomach is telling me something bad will happen or has happened. But who's Skylar? Am I supposed to be afraid of him? Is he a friend or foe?

Nathan's POV:

     4 weeks. That is how long Nicole was asleep. I've been bringing her, her favorite flowers, Tiger Lilies. I had been sitting and waiting for Nicole to open her beautiful grey eyes.

     The doctors said she would be asleep for months or even years! They said she can hear and feel, but she never would open her eyes. Until now.

     Now. The word that Skylar would do something at any time. Now he can be planning to separate me and Nicole. Now he can be staring at her. Now can happen right now.

             "Mr. Sykes." a nurse said

             "Yes?" I responded

             "Do you by any chance have a twin?" she asked

             "Well yea, why?" I said

              "He's in the same room as Nicole at the moment." she said

Skylar's POV:

     Nicole seems so happy. I hate it.

               "Something wrong, Nathan?" she asked

               "No." I leaned in closer to her, "Everything's alright. " I whispered above her lips

     She looked at my lips and then at my eyes. We started leaning towards each other. Once our lips touched, I straddle on her waist.

               "Wait." she said

               "What is it?" I asked

               "Aren't we just friends?" she asked

               "We can." I pecked her lips, "Maybe we can be more." I looked into her eyes

     What has gone into me now? First I hated her, now I'm falling for her. What has gone into me?

              "Okay." she nodded

     Once again our lips reattach. Nicole's hands roam under my shirt. I flip us over. Nicole manages to take off my shirt.

              The door bursts open, "Skylar get the hell away from her!" Nathan yelled

              "What a perfect timing," I smirked

              Nicole's face just showed pure shock, "Who's Skylar?"

              I looked at her, "Me."

              "But I thought-"

              "You thought it was him the whole time huh." I said

     Nicole looked at the floor shamefully. She's so innocent. Everything she does, she won't know the outcome.

             "Skylar, all I'm asking is to just leave us alone." Nathan said

             "And why would I want to do that?" I asked

             "Just do it, please." he insisted

             "Fine." I stood up, gave Nicole a kiss and left

Nicloe's POV:

      That was Skylar. The guy who I was making out with five minutes ago. I feel exposed.

              "You alright?" asked Nathan

              "I'm not even sure anymore." I said

               He hugged me, "What ever happens,  I will not let anything hurt you anymore."

      Anymore? What does he mean by that?

                "Hey get some sleep, I'll explain everything in the morning." he kissed the top of my head

                "Okay." I nodded

       I lay back in the hard hospital bed. Nathan kisses my forehead and leaves.

       Ten minutes passed. What am I going to do? Me and Skylar almost had sex. He can't possibly like me. Or can he?

       But this question is just jumping around my head, Which Twin Am I Falling For?
