Ch.08
~Tiffany Solis~
I'm not sure how I managed to get into bed next to my twin but I guess it was his doing. Remembering the past events, I awoken and rose from the bed. I will not stay here any longer!
...
~~Delano Solis
"Twin where ya goin'?" barely awake, the whisper was low but audible.
"For a run Lano..."
"'Kay." I responded, my body reacted on autopilot getting ready to shift. Tiffany's hands pushed me back down to the mattress,
"No Delano, stay I'll be back. I just want to be alone, ok?"
"Tiffany", quickly opening my eyes, I looked at my twin truly surprised and confused. The stern tone of my deep voice made her sigh.
"You ran without me yesterday morning and stayed gone all night until I found you and Yamasuki outside. Now you want to be alone, so you can disappear, again? What's going on with you, really?"
I watched as she straightened up her back and turned from me, depriving me sight of her face so I couldn't read the emotions from her expressive eyes. I didn't like that. Scooting to her side of the bed I reached for her plait, wrapping and rubbing it between my fist and fingers.
"Why are you shutting me out Tiff? Let me in, you always do." She turned her head slightly and snorted a little before responding.
"It's fine Lano, drop it. Look, I'm just ready to get out of here, ok?"
"Ok Twin and we will, just let me in. I know how it hurts you not connecting to me for long periods. Please, you don't have to shelter your mind from me..." Releasing her hair I grabbed her arm, spinning her around to look into her face. She stared straight above my head then looked down into my eyes, her face a blank mask.
"You love me right, twin brother?" of course I did, she needn't even ask but I don't like the way the question sounded.
"Why, Tiffany?" She read my mind then pushed her love for me into my head then put up a wall when I tried to push past that further into her psyche. The deep frown and furrow of my brows caused my forehead to wrinkle with worry. She giggled softly and smoothed the lines on my face with her thumb then rubbed my cheek.
"I'm worried you'll break again Tiffany..." concern flashed in her eyes before I pressed forward and hugged her stomach to my face tightly. Her breast heavily pressed down atop my head as she leaned forward to embrace me back. She spoke with care and truth as she stroked my hair,
"I love you Delano, I want you to stop worrying. I'm just conflicted right now as soon as I find myself I'll let you in right that moment. And I won't think to ever shut you out again, I promise. This hurts but in order for me to get better I don't need you to share the burden of my pain but let me feed off your strength. Let me go, I'll be back."
I wanted more than anything to just tell her "no" like a child but it took all my willpower to release my clasped fists from the back of her night shirt and push her from me.
"Come back Tiffany, come back for me. Go..." She grabbed my face and kissed my forehead before walking to the window and jumping out without looking back. I had a feeling she'd be gone awhile longer than before. Hearing cloth tearing and her heavy paws thud against the ground as she took off running, I frowned and closed my eyes.
Where are you going twin? The question frustrating me. And it hurt me to think she could not confide in me. Laying back down, I stared up at the ceiling with my hands behind my head and pondered where she might go. If she'd leave me and go home to Crestfront after Billy...without me...
I don't know when sleep consumed me but I do know I was out for a long time.
...
"Are you alive?" awaking slowly, I lifted my head. Blinking groggily I looked around for the voice, feeling for my twin.
"Your sister is no longer here, why do you remain?"
Pausing my motions and stopping to regain my bearings, I remembered all that had happened.
"How long was I out?" I asked as I stretched my stiff limbs. I looked over at the female standing in the doorway wearing a sleeveless hoodie with her arms crossed over her chest. She wasn't completely covered like she normally would be. Her hair in a low ponytail with her long bangs in her face and her hood draped loosely over her head.
My dreads were a knotted mess I could feel, I must have been sleeping pretty wildly for them to tangle as they were.
"Couple days. Are you ill?" On her arms were red scars, probably from that altercation with Tiffany.
"Why were you two fighting anyway?" I realized I ignored her question but I was not too concerned about myself at the moment.
"She wanted to leave so I told her she was welcome to." Raising up out of the bed I watched her as her bi colored gaze traveled down my body and stopping at my morning wood as I re positioned it. I raised an eyebrow waiting for her to say more but I guess I distracted her.
"So you're not going to help us at all?" walking towards the bathroom, leaving the door open so I could hear her response but she didn't say anything so I peeked my head out as I finished washing my hands. Drying them on the sides of my pajama bottoms, I approached her until I was a foot in front of her, looking down at her.
