Don't I know you? (SerenityLynn & silverroses2009)

[Lynnie]

Bradly rolled his eyes at his parents. He couldn't believe they were letting their friend's daughter move in with them while her parents went on a second honeymoon for two years. He grabbed a book from his room and walked outside to sit on his backporch. He sighed as he opened the familiar book.

[darkvamplips]

Soon Mary had walked up to the doorway of her new home and sighed before knocking on it. Something told her not to come here but she had to there was no other way to stay somewhere else. She had no money or any other places to stay. She shuffled her feet as she waited for someone to answer the door.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looks up from his book. He sighed as he walked to the front door. He opened it a crack. His dark brown eyes looked at the girl before him. He looked at her before speaking softly. "Are you Mary?"

[darkvamplips]

She nodded and smiled up at him. Hopefully he wont be too mean to her. "Yes I am." She said softly her hair blowing in the breeze.

[Lynnie]

He nodded sighing opening the door for her. "Come in." He said flatly. He leaned against the door as he waited for her to walk in.

[darkvamplips]

She hesitated because she did not know if he was a good person or not. "Thanks." She stepped inside and moved to the side so he could shut the door. (I forget does he know they are twins)?

[Lynnie]

He nodded as he walked towards the stairs. "Come on I'll show you to your room." He sighed as he walked. He just wanted to spend the day reading his book now that this girl was here he didn't think he'd get to read anymore today.

(No you have to figure out why I'm depressed because I had "lost" my twin sister which is you)

[darkvamplips]

(You mean lost his sister? Not twin sister)

Mary knew that they were twins and she had some papers to prove it. "I really appreciate that your letting me stay here. I have something for you." She said following him from behind.

[Lynnie]

(you came up with the idea lol)

Bradly looked at her. "It wasn't my idea. It was Mom's." He gave her strange look as he stopped. "What is it?"

[darkvamplips]

"Well I do have the papers proving we are twins. If you would like to see them that is." She looked around the room a little bit.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looks at her. "My sister has been missing since she was born. Why should I believe you?" He looked at her tears almost in his eyes

[darkvamplips]

She could feel the pain and tears almost coming out. Twin intuition? "Well the papers say that we are. Whether you believe me or not that is up to you."

[Lynnie]

Bradly took the papers from her as he opened a bedroom door. "This is your room." He walked back down the stairs and to the garden. He sat on the bench reading his book once again.

[darkvamplips]

She wasn't expecting him to take the papers so quickly and looked inside her room. It was not the nicest but maybe she could fix it up sometime. "Thanks." She said walking in.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sat in the garden. After about an hour of reading his book. He looked at the papers. He was slightly shocked that they did say she was his twin sister. He sighed softy. "I could have been nicer. But she apparently had known for awhile...why didn't she come out with it sooner." He looked to the sky as he spoke.

[darkvamplips]

The reason why she couldn't come sooner was because she needed to get some money together to show up. If she came over with no money for at least a few months rent then she probably would not be able to stay. While he was reading she was unpacking some of her things. She did not unpack all in case she was told she could not stay there any more.

[Lynnie]

Bradly walks back inside and up the stairs. He knocked on her door.

[darkvamplips]

She jumped because she was not expecting anyone. "Yes? Come in?" Her voice filtered through the air.

[Lynnie]

Bradly opened the door and handed her the papers. Before turning away and walking out. He didn't know what to say to her.

[darkvamplips]

She turned around and took the papers from him. She wanted to say something but something stopped her.

[Lynnie]

He sighed as he sat in the living room on the couch. He turned on the tv and started watching Room Raiders

[darkvamplips]

It did not look like he cooked much so maybe she could cook. She followed him downstairs and stopped behind the couch. "Would you like me to make some food for you?"

[Lynnie]

He shurgged slightly. "If you're hungry the kitchen's down the hall to your right."

[darkvamplips]

She nodded and walked down into the kitchen. Soon the aroma of chicken stirfry could be smelled.

[Lynnie]

Bradly just sat there staring. He didn't know what to think about this. He had thought his sister dead. But she hadn't been.

[darkvamplips]

(The other sister died that was not his twin. Not Mary)

Soon she was done and she brought out two plates careful not to drop anything. "I didn't know what you liked so I seperated the vegetable from the rice."

[Lynnie]

Bradly nodded as he just picked at the food.

[darkvamplips]

She worked hard at it and saw him picking at it. She sat down on the couch a few feet away.

[Lynnie]

He said as he looked at her. "Its not you..I'm just not hungry." He sets the plate down as he leaned back on the couch.

[darkvamplips]

'Well it's there if you want it." She was kind of hurt about this but at least it was there. (Do you mind if Mary has asthma and that's what killed his other sister?)

[Lynnie]

He nods softly as he just sat there.

(Its your plot I'm just following it along)

[darkvamplips]

(As long as your ok with it)

She had forgotten her inhaler upstairs. She slowly ate her food while the tension in the room was starting to grow and she coughed.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looked up. He heard that kind of cough before.

[darkvamplips]

She could feel his eyes on her. She took another bite hoping it wasn't going to get bad.

[Lynnie]

He watched with concern.

[darkvamplips]

(Can you please type some more)?

"I'll be fine." She said without even looking up.

[Lynnie]

(sorry hitting writer's block..)

Bradly looked down as he sighed. He remembered his sister Anna. She had a cough like that. They had been outside in the garden when the attack hit. She coughed softly at first before she stopped breathing.

[darkvamplips]

A few moments later she looked up at him seeing him look down. "What's wrong?" She asked feeling that something was wrong. Another cough hit her throat.

[Lynnie]

He heard the cough again as he looked up. "Do you have your inhalers? I know that cough...."

[darkvamplips]

How did he know she had asthma. She placed the food down and grabbed her chest. "In the room."

[Lynnie]

He stood up and walked to her room. After a couple of minutes he came home and gave her the inhalers. "Here, keep this with you." He sighed as he went outside.

[darkvamplips]

She looked up at him wondering why he left her so quickly. It took three sprays but still she wasn't completely better.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sat on his back porch staring at the garden. There was a marble statue surround by flowers. It was his sister before she died.

[darkvamplips]

After a few more minutes she seemed to be fine for now. She put the inhaler and walked out to see him. "What's wrong?" She asked looking at the statue.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looked up at her. "You have asthma. Pretty bad from what I can tell."

[darkvamplips]

"Yeah so?" She did not understand what was going on here. "Nice statue." She asked looking at it.

[Lynnie]

He looked up briefly before looking down again. He sighed. He had to watch one of his family members die before. He couldn't live with it again. He sat there silent as he stared at the statue.

[darkvamplips]

As if reading his mind she sighed and knew something was up with that statue. "Was that someone special?" She asked patting her inhaler in her pocket to make sure it was there.

[Lynnie]

He nods not really saying anything.

[darkvamplips]

She put a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me please?"

[Lynnie]

He pulls away from her standing quickly he shoves his hands into his pockets and takes off walking down a garden trail..  The statue stood above her. Upon the bottom of the statue was a plague.

[darkvamplips]

She winced when he got up quickly and sighed knowing he would never open up this this soon. She noticed the plaque and went over to it to read it.

[Lynnie]

He leaned against a tree sighing. He spoke softly to himself. "Another sister who has the same illness...I cant watch her die as well." He sighed as he looked up to the sky as dark clouds rolled into view.

[darkvamplips]

She started reading it and did not hear her twin brother say those things. It said something about her dieing when she died and when she was born. It read that her brother had lost a sister. She was startled and sorry for her brother. So that's why he was acting this way.

[Lynnie]

He sighed again as he stared at the sky. It started to rain on him softly at first.

[darkvamplips]

She felt a few specks up on her skin. "Bradly?" She asked wanting to talk to him.

[Lynnie]

He looked at her shurging slightly as if to let her know that he heard her.

[darkvamplips]

Slowly she took a few steps toward him. "Bradly I didn't know." She whispered.

[Lynnie]

He shurgged her off again as he started walking away from her.

[darkvamplips]

She stopped and sighed. "Please at least come inside it's going to rain."

[Lynnie]

He looked up at the cloudy sky and grabbed his book. He walked inside silently.

[darkvamplips]

"Why didn't you tell me?" She turned to face him.

[Lynnie]

"It didn't matter. Just keep your inhaler on you at all times." He said as he made his way into the library.

[darkvamplips]

Sighing she let him go and decided to take a walk around the house. Why didn't he tell her?

[Lynnie]

Bradly walked about the house. He couldn't explain himself to her. He figured she would learn on her own.

[darkvamplips]

Since she would be staying with him she decided to search the house and remember where everything was. She took her time.

[Lynnie]

Bradly made his way back upstairs to his room and collpased on the bed. He sighed as he stared up at the ceiling.

[darkvamplips]

About half an hour later she came back to his room and looked in. "If you need to talk you know I am here." She whispered.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looked up and nodded at her. "You can come in if you want." He looked back down at his hands.

[darkvamplips]

Hesitantly she walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed. She would let him start the conversation.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looked at her and sighed. "So, how are you liking it here so far?" He spoke barely above the whisper.

[darkvamplips]

"It's fine. Thank you for letting me stay." She smiled back at him hoping he would warm up to her a little bit more.

[Lynnie]

Bradly shurgged slightly. "It was Mom and Dad who said you were moving in. I didn't get a say so in it. I'm glad you like it here."

[darkvamplips]

Does that mean he did not want her there? She looked away and sighed. "So you don't want me here?" She couldn't help but feel sad.

[Lynnie]

Bradly looked at her. "No I don't want you here. But it isn't my house. So stay."

[darkvamplips]

When she heard those words she turned her head away. Slowly she got up and walked out of the room.

[Lynnie]

He knew he should go after her but he decided that she wouldn't get to far.

[darkvamplips]

Now her brother didn't want her. She started walking out into the garden.

[Lynnie]

He sighed and looked out his window watching his sister.

[darkvamplips]

"What have I ever done to him." A few tears sparkled down her cheeks.

[Lynnie]

Bradly stared out the window. He didn't want to be so mean but he hated that he thought that now he was an only child only to have this other sister thrown in his face.

[darkvamplips]

Maybe she should not have come back. Maybe she should just leave and not come back. She could feel eyes on her and she looked up in the window to see her brother.

[Lynnie]

Bradly nodded at her to let her know he was there and watching. He sighed as he looked about the garden.

[darkvamplips]

He could see the tears and then she walked back inside. She would leave she wasn't wanted here.

[Lynnie]

Bradly walked down the stairs and looked at her.

[darkvamplips]

"What?" The pain was noticeable in her voice.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed and tossed her a set of house keys. "This is your house as much as it is mine." He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked towards the kitchen.

[darkvamplips]

She reached out and caught the keys then stared at him. "A few seconds ago you told me you didn't want me here."

[Lynnie]

Bradly ignored her comment as he went into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of sweet tea.

[darkvamplips]

"If you want me to leave say those words. I'll be gone." She put the keys on the table in the kitchen.

[Lynnie]

Bradly slams down his now empty glass of tea. He looked at her. "I gave you the keys that means stay." He walked out of the kitchen.

[darkvamplips]

She jumped suddenly when the glass was slammed down. "Whatever is bothering you you know it's not right to treat people like this."

[Lynnie]

Bradly glared at her. "Whatever you want to do, just do it." He walked towards the tv room.

[darkvamplips]

"I'm going out to get some clothes. My cell number is on the white board if you want to call." She whispered writing it down and getting her wallet.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sat there in the tv room watching VH1's I <3 the 80s. He heard her say she was going into town to shop. He figured she'd be gone for about 2 hours. He leaned his head against the back of the couch.

[darkvamplips]

(Maybe this is when he starts to get worried and starts calling her)

She put her jacket around her and then walked to the door wanting to get out somewhere. A few moments later she was in her car.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed. He guessed he shouldn't have been so mean. He looked at his phone and dialed her number.

[darkvamplips]

She sighed and picked up the phone seeing that it was her brother. "Yes?" She was still angry about before.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed when she answered the phone. "Sorry about before." Is all he said.

[darkvamplips]

"What you said hurt." She whispered into the phone while continuing to drive.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed. "I just don't get along with people very well."

[darkvamplips]

"Well can you let me know why?" She asks continuing to drive to the store.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed into the phone. He didn't know how to explain why he was anti-social since the death of his sister. "Lets just say it started after Amelia died."

[darkvamplips]

Thinking back to the statue she thought it must have been his sister. "Your sister." Her voice trailed off.

[Lynnie]

Bradly sighed. "Yes Amelia was my sister. She died because of her asthma. She was unable to breathe one day." He sighed again. "I'll see you when you get home."

[darkvamplips]

(Rebecca has asthma right? Just checking)

"Bye." Was all she could manage to say before her finger reached the end button and she pulled up to the store. She had asthma to.

[Lynnie]

Bradly layed there on the couch his arm covering his eyes.

(Sorry about the delay been kinda crazy here lately)

[darkvamplips]

(it's ok)

She walked through the store and got a few things. She was gone for a good half hour.

[Lynnie]

Bradly laid there on the couch. He eventually closed his eyes to take a short nap.

[darkvamplips]

Soon she was home with an armful of groceries and more in the car. A light kick could be heard on the door to let him know she needed help opening the door.

[Lynnie]

Bradly jumped up and went to open the door. He took the bags from her and carried them into the kitchen.

[darkvamplips]

"I'll go get the rest." She said when he took the bags and headed back toward the car.

[Lynnie]

After setting the bags down he met her at the door taking the rest of the bags from her. "I've got it." He said quickly as he took them to the kitchen and began putting them away.

[darkvamplips]

"Thank you." She said walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the kitchen table.
