Ivy's intro

May 23 2009:

"Ivy, can we talk about something personal?", My identical twin sister Elena asks me as she walked up to me with a sad smile. I was sat by a tree with Tyler and Caroline drinking and laughing.

I stood up from the tree stump and walked off privately with her away from the other drunk partiers as I nod.

"Is everything okay, Elena?", I ask getting worried and frantic even more than normal since I'm tipsy.

She nods slightly and looks to the dirt floor. "It's Matt. I don't feel any connection with him and I can't continue lying to him", Elena says with a slight tear in her eye.

I grab both shoulders to force her to look into my eyes. "Elena, I know. I can see the lost connection. You owe it to both you and Matt to tell the truth. But it is your call. Follow your heart", I say back. I was a poet when I was drunk.

She nods. "Thank you so much Ivy", she thanks and gives me a quick but meaningful hug.

Out of Elena and I, people saw me as the bitchier one, but only slightly more. They'd only say that because if there was a problem, Elena would cry about it whereas I'd somewhat cry but  I'd solve the problem. They see me as the slightly fiestier one but also see me as the innocent twin too.

I would do absolutely anything for my family and friends. But if one was hurt or they passed away, I would break down even more than Elena in tears but I would get over it quicker.

Elena walks off towards Matt as I head back to Caroline and Tyler who are slurring their words as they talk. "Let's get wasted", I scream to the two, lifting up my drink and smirking to them.

_____________1 hour later_____________

Elena and Matt's private breakup wasn't that private anymore. Elena and I were sat on the dry mud as she let out tears about her fear of loosing their friendship. I pated her back as she sobs more and more on my shoulder.

"I'm going to call mum and dad to come pick us up", I say to her now fully sobor. She nods her head as I walk off into the parking lot close by.

I hold the phone up to my ear after pressing on mum's call button. "Hi mum. Elena has had a hard time here and we would like to come back home please.", I almost whisper into the phone.

"I told you that you shouldn't have gone.", She yells at me.

"If we didn't, Elena wouldn't have followed her heart", I say as if I almost predicted that this would happen.

She sighs into the phone. "We'll be there soon sweety. When we get home you're both grounded", she says disappointed.

"Bye mum", I quickly say before she ends the call.

Our relationship was close but we'd argue constantly. I always thought that Elena was her favourite but she'd never own up to it. However I was such a daddy's girl. Jeremy and I had the strongest bond as well as Elena and I. We understood eachother and never lied to eachother.

I stood in the parking lot for a few secomds until I hear a swoosh noise and blink, like a statue had just awoken. I walk back to Elena and then we both walk back to the parking lot, waiting to get picked up.

Shortly after, our parents pull up next to us and we both slide into the back seats.

Through the car ride on our way home, our mother shouts at us for going, more so me than Elena, whereas our dad stays silent in hopes of not getting involved.

We drive rather quickly and bump slightly as we drive onto Wickery bridge.

"I have never been so disappointed in you Ivy", my mother shouts at the top of her lungs before the car swurves and crashes into the bridge railing, falling through it.

Screams was the last thing I heard before we plunged into the river and fell unconscious.

I wake up soaked on the black cold road on top of the bridge. Gasping for air but my eyes only open slightly and is blurred.

I watch a black figure jump over the side railings, holding Elena in it's arms. The figure carefully places her down and looks back to me. Suddenly my vision turns black again as I feel dizzy.

May 25 2009:

I walk down the wooden steps of my house which was once owned by my parents. I sigh heavily as I place my chin up and try to put on a fake but believable smile.

Elena and I were the only two to survive. My last memories of them was when my mother and I were arguing. Not the best way to say goodbye.

I flattened my black skater dress to neaten it up a bit. I'm wearing a black lace skater dress with lace at the top and gathered into the neckline. My brown natural beach wave hair is put up into a high ponytail and a little poof at the top. My heels high to make me look taller.

Elena and Jeremy were already sat in the car waiting for me silently. I hopped into the front passenger seat and sigh as Liz starts to drive off.

We arrive at the funeral place where we burry our parents. A tear starts to build in my eyes as Liz states her ulergy. I notice that Elena and Jeremy, who were at each side of me, were already breaking down in tears. I link my arms with theirs and give them a sad smile, trying to stay strong for them.

I watch as the coffins are lowered into the ground and covered up with rich soil. Elena places a blue rose on their graves and I place a red rose on theirs. 'I promise, I'll protect our family, what is left of them', I promise them in my head. Kissing the tips of my fingers and wave them goodbye as we all walk away.

Twice my heart broke. Once when they died. And when we burried them. My heart feels empty but my emotions were almost visible to everyone.

We got home, each in our own bedrooms and went to sleep after the long, exhausting day.

Everyone was worried about me the most. Especially since my mother and I argued on our last living moment together. They all thought that I should see a therapist eventhough I disagreed. I only saw our school council to give them comfort. It was mainly only to help them with it but it also helped me slightly. The school therapists helped me find my heart again and picked up all the emotions with it. I am much better now, but still not as good as Jeremy or Elena.

Elena told me to write down my feelings in a journal which is what I did. Every day. To be honest, it did helped.
