private (between Soran and silverroses2009)

[darkvamplips]

When he started to have the attack her eyes flew up in the direction and she saw what her brother used. She put her hands over her face trying to block out the vision.

[Soran]

He didn't notice her initial reaction, until he let out his breath, then saw her with her hands covering her face... was she reeling from telling him about their other brother or was it something else?

"Rebecca? What's wrong? I know you're upset..." he tried to reach over towards her

[darkvamplips]

Rebecca moved away from his touch and then stood up her hands shaking again. "Let's go now." She said starting to walk away not wanting to deal with him anymore.

[Soran]

The shock as she just stood and starting walking away, he bolted out of his seat almost running after her.
"Rebecca...?" he didn't get the chance to say anymore, she was walking away too quickly...

[darkvamplips]

"Don't please." She did not slow down for him to catch up with her. There was so much going on in her life right now. A few tears came to her eyes.

[Soran]

He continued to run after her until her caught up. He decided to remain silent to gather his thoughts and to go through the events in his mind...

[darkvamplips]

"Can you drive?" She said when they got to the car. Right now she was so upset she didn't think she could drive.

[Soran]

"Sure, I don't know the area though, so you'll need to tell me where to go" She unlocked the car and passed the keys to him. He got in and started the car
"where to?"

[darkvamplips]

"Just home." She replied after getting in the back of the car. Since he had asthma she would not sit in the front and put her seat belt on.

[Soran]

"Ok" he reversed out of the space, glancing at her as he did so... 'why is she sitting in the back?'
He pulled away, and onto the highway. He decided to take his time, so he get used to the car and allow his thoughts to gather over what had happened.
He decided not to comment on her seating arrangements...

As he drove on, he thought about what had occurred in the restaurant. 'She mentioned another brother and that he had died, she was upset, but coping and then.... then I used my inhaler and she almost freaked out. Did he die because of a breathing problem? oh that's just great... ' He remained silent for a while, hoping she would calm down and he didn't want upset her more...

[darkvamplips]

Leaning her head back she sighed looking out the window hoping they would not get into a car crash. As if reading his mind she looked up at him and sighed. Twins somehow have telepathy or at least some do and she was reading some thoughts. This was really bad she can't get close to him not now.

[Soran]

He felt awkward, just driving and not speaking...  he felt the need to reach her, but would probably end up pushing her away. "Do you want the radio on?" was all he could say to break the silence

[darkvamplips]

"I guess." She said looking away from him again and leaning back against the headrest.

[Soran]

He turned the radio on, not caring what was on, just something to break the quiet.
He pulled into the drive a turned the car off. He stepped out...

[darkvamplips]

When they stopped the car she got out and started heading inside. She did not want to be around him since she knew he was going to die. Or so she thought.

[Soran]

He locked the car with the remote and passed her the keys. As they walked towards the front door he ventured "Maybe we can talk later?"

[darkvamplips]

A small shrug came to her shoulders. "If you want to know why I am like this I bet mom and dad would love to tell you." She started up the stairs.

[Soran]

James walked into the lounge where Martin and Sheila were sitting and talking. He still felt awkward just walking in. They both glanced at him.
"How did it go?" Martin asked
"Could've been better" replied James "I've got something I need to ask you about"
"Of course dear, would you like a drink first?" asked Sheila
"Er , yeah, thanks, coffee please, white and one sugar"
"Martin?" She got a nod in response "Ok" and Sheila moved off to the kitchen.

"What do you want to ask son?" Martin asked as James moved to sit down
"Rebecca..mentioned something about another brother"
Martin's face fell a little "ah, yes,  you  mean Andrew"
"I guess...." he was unsure how to proceed " What happened, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Martin, visibly breathed in deeply and said "About a year ago Andrew died from breathing complications, asthma. He and Rebecca were out in the country when he had an attack, a serious one..."Martin was struggling "his inhaler had no effect and the asthma attack caused led to cardiac arrest...he died in Rebecca's arms"
"Oh God" James replied quietly, no wonder she had freaked when he used his inhaler.....

[darkvamplips]

The day that her brother had died it was just to hot in the country and because of that his inhaler was not working. She went upstairs wanting to be alone and collapsed into a heap of sobs on her bed. It was just to painful to deal with anymore and she wanted to be with her brother again. Her hands clutched tight at her side as she remembered the look on her brother's face when he died in her arms. She tried to save him and give him air before his heart stopped but it did not work nothing she could do brought him back to life.

[Soran]

They sat in silence in the lounge for the next few minutes, James looked out of the window, sipping at his coffee as the sun started to go down.
"What was he like?"
"There's a picture over there" Martin pointed "He was 2 years younger than you and Rebecca, full of life, intelligent, excited about a new job he had just started"
James looked at the picture imagining what Andrew had been like alive

[darkvamplips]

There was a cold breeze in her room as she noticed the window was not closed. When Andrew died she thought she saw his spirit everywhere and maybe this was his way of saying he was still around? Sighing she turned away from the cold and to the wall away from the door. The tears started to soak her pillow as she started worrying about her twin brother downstairs. Would he come to see her? Worrying was a bad thing.

[Soran]

After finishing his coffee, James, now knowing what had happened to Andrew, decided to see if she wanted to talk...he moved outside he doora knocked..."Rebecca, can we talk?"

[darkvamplips]

A sigh of relief fell through her lips as she heard her 'brother's' voice filter in through the hall. She did not turn around to face him but decided to let him in. "Yes." She whispered.

[Soran]

As he walked in, he saw her on the bed, her eyes red from the crying, he moved over to her.. "Dad told me what happened"....

[darkvamplips]

"He's always interferring with my life." Was all she said but she moved over slightly if he wanted to sit on the bed.
