Desperate Calls

Chase was in no way ready for marriage. Hell, neither was Selah. But if things were going to go the way I planned, I had to make a desperate move. What girl didn’t want a pretty ring? As different as we were, Selah and I were the same person inside and out. I knew exactly what to do to get my sister in line because it was all the things I would have wanted for myself. I knew what made her tick. It wasn’t like I hadn’t met men that could do it. I just didn’t want to be tied down in a relationship right now. At this point in my career, it would definitely be forced, and I didn’t have enough energy to keep up a façade. All of this shit had me jealous as fuck low key, but I’d rather it be her than some other random-ass bitch.

Truth be told, I hated my sister. Had for a long time. Since we were kids. I loved her just as much, though, so it was a constant battle between the two emotions. You ever want to kill someone, but want them to live? I felt like that every day for the past fifteen years.

She was so much better than me at everything. Well, everything except for schoolwork. I had that in the bag. She just wasn’t really interested in applying herself. Making friends, personality, sports . . . all I had on her was that I was damn near a genius. It was so hard for me to make friends back then, and still kind of now. Once my mom started allowing us to not do the twin thing 24/7, I was lost in the sauce. Her fashion sense was impeccable, even as a child. I hated that people were just naturally attracted to her. She got along with everyone so easily, and I was always “the other twin.” It was so annoying.

I would never forget when she met Skye and Vice. We were put in separate classes in the second grade so that we could learn to be independent. They tried to separate us well before that, but my mom was against it. It took for my dad to finally put his foot down for my mom to agree. I was just as nervous as she was about the separation, but my dad said we needed to find ourselves.

“They can see each other once the day is over,” he told her over breakfast one morning as we got ready to head out.

We knew we were going to be separated. We stayed up half the night talking about it. Selah was so excited about meeting new people and making new friends. She tried to get me on board, but I wasn’t feeling it. It was always just us.

“And it will always be us, Sissy. You’ll be right next door,” she assured me, hugging me extra tight and telling me we should get some rest. I wanted to believe her, I really did, but I knew better.
