					<div class="bbWrapper">"That was annoying," Sora complained, flipping his dyed red hair. "I hate doctors. And needles. And people. Except you guys, of course," he laughed, throwing his arms around his friend Bailey and his best friend Micah. (What? They may be twins, but they couldn't share everything. Best friends were sacred. Speaking of which...) Slightly behind him (shorter legs) was Hailey. She scoffed and blew her hair out of her eyes. They never could just get along.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah. I never like to be naked in front of anyone. It makes me self-conscious."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah, I get that," said Sora, rolling his eyes before coming to a complete stop. "Wait, wait, wait. Back up. You got naked? Like, how naked? Like, boxer shorts naked?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah. You know, when the nice male doctor did the physical examination."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Oh, okay. Just boxer shorts naked..." Sora was a worrywart of a friend. Then it him. "Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We didn't have any male doctors. There was, like, one guy, and he was like, seventy. And he was a nurse."<br>
<br>
<br>
"No...There was a guy doctor. And he was like twenty. He was really nice. He even gave me his cell phone number in case I wanted a free private medical examination."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Ah- uh- what? Micah!" Sora ran to keep up with Bailey and Micah, causing Hailey to run to keep up with him. "You didn't find that at all concerning?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"No. Why would it be concerning?" The only thing that was 'concerning' Micah right now was a text he'd received earlier in the examination room. It was that asshat, Ronald, or one of his friends, who wanted to meet up in front of the school. If an official had seen it, it would seem innocuous enough, however, there was only one thing texts like that meant: Micah was in for a fight. The guy usually left him alone when Sora, Hailey, or Bailey was around, and he was walking home with all three today (there was to be a celebratory slumber party, since Bailey had finally convinced their parents that he and Hailey were just friends).<br>
<br>
<br>
"Because- because- Bailey!" Sora scolded. "Knock some sense into your idiot younger brother!" Micah hadn't been beat up in almost a week. The science fair was coming up, and even the bullies were excited, since for those who had As and Bs, the science fair meant extra credit, but to those with Cs or failing grades, it meant a bump. Micah's bullies fell into both categories and were heavily into competition. But they'd apparently made time to hit him some more today, and, having spent a full week not taking out their pent up (sexual? Micah would like to think) frustrations, maybe they wouldn't take no for an answer today...even if it meant dealing with Micah's friends.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm coming with you when we have School Medical Exams from now on!"<br>
<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Bailey was absentmindedly planning on how to set up the living room for everyone. Since Sora and Hailey were able to come over, he felt like it had to be extra special! Well he could move the coffee table underneath the dining table since it was a Friday and no one really sat at the table to eat on Friday nights. Everyone was out doing something. Lila and Morgan were either on a date or letting Bailey and Micah fend for themselves for dinner. Fridays were the best in the Kettenring house. Everyone was free to do whatever they wanted!<br>
<br>
<br>
So, Bailey would move the coffee table, then head upstairs to the closet in the guest bedroom to grab all of the extra pillows and blankets. Oh, he couldn't forget the sleeping bags either-<br>
<br>
<br>
"Earth to Bailey!" His best friend shouted, noticing that his mind was probably on tonight's events. Hailey was probably 5'3" but was super curvy. Not in an overwhelming way, but still. Her skin was a rich and darkish caramel, which complimented her ebony hair. She had a bit of an Indian accent because she seriously came from India, but most of it had faded away being around Americans. "Your brother is in trouble!"<br>
<br>
<br>
Most people know that that sentence always catches Bailey's attention. So, without further ado, he perked up and focused on the three people with him. "What? What's wrong?" His mind had abandoned all thoughts so he could focus on his little brother. If someone hurt his brother, it would be the last time! <i>Yet how many times have I said that? People just don't learn their lessons.</i> "What's wrong?! Is he super sick?! Micaaaaah!" Bailey wailed as he clutched his brother.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sighing, Hailey shook her head and pulled Bailey off the poor boy. "Calm down, will you?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"But you said something was wrong!"<br>
<br>
<br>
"That doesn't mean you have to start wailing," she huffed, not patient enough to deal with Bailey today. It was honestly a miracle that they had stayed friends for so long. "It's just," she bit her lip, not happy to admit what had happened. "Apparently Micah didn't get checked out by a real doctor. It was probably by some freak."<br>
<br>
<br>
Wait for it. Any minute now...<br>
<br>
<br>
"WHAT?!"<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey sighed. "Really, Bailey. Freaking out isn't going to solve anything."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Sora! You and I need to find this guy and turn him in! There's no way he should be able to continue roaming free," he shouted in determination. At this point he was coming up with a plan to find him. All he needed was the whole soccer team, really. "But, Micah! Why didn't you tell anyone?! How does that not seem abnormal to you? That's just plain weird. Please tell me you didn't give him your number."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Come on," Hailey began, a twinge of desperation in her voice. "He wouldn't do that." A sudden pause. "Please tell me you didn't do that, Micah."<br>
<br>
<br>
As Bailey and Hailey began to interrogate the youngest Kettenring, the destination was coming closer. The house was that of a suburban household. The front yard was very lush with different flowers of all colors and a green yard. As decoration, there was a white picket fence that bordered the property. The house itself, was a very spacious two story home that was a bit too big for the Kettenring family; even when the oldest sister was around. However, it made a nice house for family to visit. The downstairs door lead to a small little nook that had a random lounging chair and bookcase (mostly filled with books that no one really enjoyed), and opened up to the family room. There was a huge sectional couch that stood against the wall where three windows were put, and across from it was a huge TV that was surrounded by an entertainment center. On the entertainment center, different gaming consuls were stashed there with dozens of games.<br>
<br>
<br>
The family room then lead into the dining room which held a table that seated six (but could become bigger with attachments), and then the kitchen which was graced with a food closet AND plenty of cabinets.<br>
<br>
<br>
Walk upstairs and you're met with a loft that has two beanbag chairs that sit with a nice and small coffee table. There is another TV that is only hooked up with a DVD player. Around said TV there are bookshelves (these books a bit more enjoyable). Then, to the left of the stairs is the master bedroom, and towards the right is where all of the Kettenring children stay.<br>
<br>
<br>
As for guest bedrooms, there were exactly three. One upstairs between Nell's and Bailey's room, and two downstairs tucked away near the kitchen.<br>
<br>
<br>
( Decided to try and do a description of the house. Not my best work but yeah ;-; )</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Micah’s eyes widened at Bailey’s over-exaggerated panic. It was hard for Micah to calm Bailey down when he got into one of these moods, which was why Micah felt so lucky to have Hailey around to moderate. “I’m fine. I don’t even have a fever. See?” He grabbed Bailey’s hand and held it up to his forehead. They had crossed the school courtyard without incident. He supposed his three (unwitting) bodyguards were enough to keep the bullies away, but this just meant he’d have it worse on Monday. “They’re just worried for no reason. Older men give me their phone numbers all the time, so I’m used to it. Don’t worry about me, okay?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“That’s even more worrisome…” Sora muttered. “Seriously, though. You didn’t give him your number, did you?” Micah widened his eyes- slight enough that someone who wasn’t his friend or his twin wouldn’t have noticed- and Sora shouted. “Micah!” he scolded. “I shouldn’t even have to explain this to you, but- you do not give personal information to strangers! No, not even if they ask! Not even if you think they’re a doctor or a nurse!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It’s my cell phone. I’ll do what I want with it.” Everyone seemed to always get overly concerned, no matter what it was that he said. (Even if he just wanted cake, or something innocent like that, they’d often scold him and say he was too skinny. Unlike his brother, who was into soccer, or his sister, who was on the track team at her university, Micah was wiry. And he didn’t have the motivation necessary to play most sports [ice skating not included], which winded him and didn’t seem worth it.) Besides, that doctor was nice. Even if he wasn’t, Micah thought he was kind of cute. This was something he would never admit. “All of you have been in relationships and have already lost your virginity, right? If I want to give someone my phone number, I’m still not doing anything as ‘bad’ as what you guys have done.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“You said your doctor was a guy, right?” asked Hailey, not skipping a beat. “So if you’re talking to us about a guy in a relationship with you, or giving your number to a guy…? Then you’re finally admitting you like guys.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No. I’m just letting you know that I understand your concern, but that you don’t need to have it. I’m more responsible than you, so just drop it.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>I know Hailey and Sora suspect it, but…they’ll just have to wait a few more months. One secret is too close to the other for it to be worth sharing right now. I won’t risk losing him…Not yet.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
As they approached the house, Micah ran ahead to check the mail. Both he and Bailey were getting college acceptance letters and college scholarship offers now (especially Bailey- a soccer star and a math genius? He was very much wanted) in the mail, and Micah was excited to see if he’d gotten anything back from Massachusetts Fine yet. They probably couldn’t afford it in any case, even with the liberal amounts of financial aid he’d applied for, but that wasn’t stopping Micah from getting his hopes up. He opened the mailbox with a creak and pulled out an envelope- and the return address was Massachusetts Fine! “Oh my god. Oh my god. The letter!” Before he got the chance to tear it open, Sora was over there going through their mail. “There’s two of them!” he said happily, doing a fist pump in celebration of his best friends’ probable glory.<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah tore the first one open, ignoring the header and introduction just as Sora began to do the same thing, reading his out loud.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dear Bailey Kettenring,<br>

<br>
<br>
c: Kim Long,Advisor.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Wow, that’s great!” said Sora. “Micah, Hailey and I got ours yesterday! Looks like we can all go to the same college!”<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah just stared at his, eyes bugged out of his head.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Come on, buddy. It’s not that shocking- you’ve been talking about going to this dream school forever.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah whispered something, looking down so that his hair fell into his eyes. He bit his lip.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What? I can’t hear you, buddy.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I said I didn’t get in, okay?” he shouted, shoving the piece of paper into Sora’s hands. He dashed into the house, slamming the door behind him and ran up the stairs to his room before deciding he’d rather not. Bailey’s room was connected to his, which made it easy for him to sneak in and out, even if Micah locked all the doors. Nell’s room, on the other hand, wasn’t connected to anything (except her own private bathroom- all of the bedrooms had one). He went in, locking the door and turning on her radio as high a volume as he could stand. He didn’t need anyone to hear him cry. He climbed into Nell’s bed and tried to block out the world and go to his happy place. No doubt the others would eventually give up on trying to convince him to come out, and spend the rest of the night making plans for what they’d do at <i>his </i>dream college. It was going to be a long night, thinking about things of that nature.<br>
<br>
<br>
He almost wished Ronald had beat him up earlier- it’s not like he could have made Micah feel any worse about himself. <i>Of course I’m not good enough…</i></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Everything seemed to go in slow motion. First, Bailey had picked up Hailey and spun her around; much like how Prince Eric did when being reunited by Ariel. They were giggling and chatting on what to do next. They began to discuss on how they could all spend time together, that they should take a trip to the university to find good restaurants and hangouts. To find those places were crucial, because there is no way in hell that they were going to cook. They didn't have time for that. They were going to be filled with work! But then Micah said that he didn't get excepted. How the hell had the University turned him down? Weren't they able to see a good student?!<br>
<br>
<br>
"Micah!" Bailey and Hailey yelled as the young boy stormed into the house. Bailey's eyes widened and he looked at Sora in a panic. "H-how did my brother not get accepted?!" He kept on repeating the question, putting stress on different words. To say the least, he was pissed.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey put a hand on his shoulder. "I don't know but freaking out isn't going to solve anything, Gabe. Just calm down."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Calm down?! Micah has been dreaming of this university for ages, and all of us got in but him! His fucking heart is broken," he wailed, and without any warning, Bailey took off into the house and up the stairs. First he checked both of their bedrooms and even the bathrooms. Without any luck he went to their sister's room and was greeted with music.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey began to bang on the door and yell out his brother's name. "Micah it's okay! That stupid university doesn't deserve you anyway, okay? Micah please open up." At this point, he was begging, and tears were even gathering in his eyes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey joined in a couple of moments later, saying things on a similar note. "Micah please! Come on out. We can drown our sorrows in cake. Bailey can go grab some."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">When Micah finally got his sobs under control, it took a few more minutes of whimpering before he could convince himself to get out of bed. It took a few more minutes to stand up without getting dizzy and more after that to walk. He turned the radio off, then waddled over to the door, where Bailey and Hailey were waiting, Sora just behind them on the stairs. He couldn’t think of a single thing to say to any of the three of them, so he closed the door. “Look…I know it’s not your fault, but I don’t want to hang out with you guys right now. Can you just go downstairs and leave me alone?” But Micah didn’t want all three of them to leave him alone. He wanted Sora and Hailey to just leave. He wanted Bailey to play Sorry with him or cuddle up next to him or something…anything…<br>
<br>
<br>
Sometimes Micah did need twin time. He never asked anymore, though. As far as he was concerned, once Bailey started messing around with girls, they’d both hit an age where he was too old to cuddle. The closest they ever got was when their hands brushed together when they stepped too close on the sidewalk, or better yet, occasionally when Bailey would hold his hand. He coughed, spacing out. “Anyway, just go downstairs and party without me. I wouldn’t want to bring the party down…” He hadn’t heard anyone, so they probably already left. It was for the best, honestly.<br>
<br>
<br>
He walked over to the bathroom, opening the medicine cabinet and looking to find something to help him sleep. After swallowing seven milligrams of Melatonin, he wandered back into the safe and peaceful retreat of his sister’s bed. Moments later, the door opened, and another human crawled into the bed next to him. He wished it were Bailey, but it was probably that worrywart Sora, all pressed against him, a hand rubbing his hip. “I love you, Sora,” he whispered, cuddling into the only person who ever offered him comfort anymore. “And I’m glad it’s you. Night-night.” And he was out like a light.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The hurt was obvious in Bailey's eyes, but he refused to say anything. With a small smile and a pat to the shoulder, Bailey sneaked a kiss to his cheek and then headed downstairs with Sora and Hailey. It was best to give Micah some space for now. Well, at least that's what Bailey thought. His best friend knew better, but decided not to say anything. It wasn't her job to try and get Bailey to actually think for a moment. Damn, he was a smart kid, but he really couldn't see what his brother was thinking. It was even worse because they were twins!<br>
<br>
<br>
They all sat on the big sectional downstairs, looking at the floor, occasionally checking their phones, or just playing with their hands. The silence was terrible for everyone because the same thing was on their minds, but there was no way they wanted to talk about it. For years the four of them always talked about going to the damn university, but now all of their plans were ruined. It wasn't fair! Micah should have gotten accepted and that's that!<br>
<br>
<br>
Sighing, Hailey and Bailey looked at each other and nodded. Bailey gave them an apologetic smile as he stood up and lead them to the front door. "I'm sorry for the party getting ruined. I just think I need to go comfort Micah right now and I would feel terrible to have you guys be down here by yourselves."<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey just shook her head with an amused smile. "You act like we don't understand. God, you're an idiot." She lightly punched his shoulder and began to drag Sora away. "Come on. Maybe we can try to get along, yes?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Smiling at Hailey's antics, Bailey made his way upstairs to check on the heartbroken kid. He opened the door to Nell's bedroom, softly closed it, and laid down with Micah underneath the covers. Without saying anything, he held him close. "Goodnight, Micah," he whispered as he planted a soft kiss to his brother's head. God, the kid was just so cute and fragile looking, and Bailey would be lying if he said that sometimes he wanted to pinch Micah's cheeks and coo too him about his adorableness.<br>
<br>
<br>
Such thoughts swam through his head as darkness took over him. Yeah, it was pretty early to sleep, but he was sure today was a huge exception.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>In his dreams, it was just Bailey and Micah. That was a good beginning to any dream, but especially this one. They were in that house Micah had looked at on that realtors website, that he’d considered buying (it was a one-bedroom, so pretty cheap) with the money he made from Anna’s, but the couch from their at home living room. He was sitting next to Bailey, glancing at him every so often awkwardly. “So…” he began, only for Bailey to sigh, exasperated. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“Oh, just get over here,” he scolded, and the next thing Micah knew, he was pulled onto Bailey’s lap. Bailey kissed his cheek. “I haven’t seen you in weeks,” he scolded, flicking Micah’s ear. Micah would have protested, but he knew he deserved this kind of treatment. He wasn’t being a very good brother right now.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“I was avoiding you on purpose…” Micah said, and Bailey physically winced. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“Ow. That hurts.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“I never wanted to have this conversation, even though I knew it had to happen eventually. See…my roommate, Connor…isn’t my roommate.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Wait. This wasn’t a dream. This was a nightmare, and Micah needed to stop talking right now.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
In his sleep, Micah groaned. “Bailey…”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“He’s my boyfriend. I’m gay.” Bailey looked at him wearily, raising an eyebrow, and Micah wished for the millionth time he could see into that head of his.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“That’s not funny,” said Bailey. “Why make that sort of joke?”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Micah wilted. “Because it’s true,” he whispered, and pushed himself off of Bailey’s lap and onto the couch.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
The real life Micah whimpered. “So mean…” He wasn’t aware, but at some point he had rolled over and was clinging to Bailey’s shirt.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“How long have you known? Just these past few weeks? You’re probably just confused.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“No, Bailey. I’ve known since I was eight.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“Bullshit.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“I fell in love with a guy.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“No one falls in love at eight.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“I did.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“So, what? You’re in love with Connor now?”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>That should have been how it had worked. That was how he had expected it to work. Even having fallen for the guy at eight years old and never extinguishing that flame, Micah was completely naïve as to how true love worked.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“No. I’m still in love with that guy. That I fell for…when I was eight.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Real-life Micah clung to his older brother, talking in his sleep again. “No…I’m in love…”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“Who?” asked dream-Bailey.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“You,” Micah admitted. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>When he finally looked up, Bailey was staring at him with a look of horror on his face. “Are you joking?”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“No.”</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>“That’s disgusting. You’re disgusting.” Bailey stood up, walking out the door to the apartment. Micah felt as if he’d lost everything.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
He still felt that way when he woke up. Staring at Bailey, (presumably) asleep next to him, he made a decision…he wasn’t going to ever tell Bailey his true feelings. He would do anything in his power to make sure no one ever found out he liked guys. <i>I refuse to lose you. </i>He kissed Bailey’s nose and went to sleep.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>Bailey was sitting in a bathroom. It wasn't one he recognized, but subconsciously he knew exactly what was going to happen. Every time he was in a bathroom in one of his dreams, the same thing always happened. It was always terrible and Bailey would wake up in a cold sweat, panting with wide eyes and unshed tears. Sometimes he would wake up with a scream and soon Micah would appear in his room. There, the older would cuddle up to his brother and cry. His therapist always told him that he shouldn't dwell in the past, but not to forget about it either.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
Never mind. Back to the dream.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
The bathroom consisted a medicine cabinet, a sink, toilet, and bathtub. He was only standing in his boxers, and a hand that wasn't his own was grabbing at his waist.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
He didn't like this. Not at all. He didn't want to hear those words again.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
The voice, high and raspy, began to speak.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
No no no no.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"Look what we have here. A broken boy with failed dreams."</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"Stop," Bailey said forcefully. This wasn't going to happen again.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"Look at all of these scars," it mocked, the hand tracing over every precise, deep and shallow scar that decorated his hips. He was covered and every time he saw them Bailey wished he didn't fall into that hole.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"They're ugly to you, aren't they? You're even afraid to change in the locker room. You're scared what your team will think."</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"Shut up! They wouldn't pay any mind!"</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"And that hurts you doesn't it? You want someone to pity you." Although he wanted some comfort now and then because the thoughts never really went away, Bailey never wanted to be patronized.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"Aww poor Bailey," it mocked, obviously amused that it was getting underneath the boy's skin. "The amazing soccer player and math genius is having troubles. His life is just soooo terrible."</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"I SAID SHUT UP."</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>The voice only hummed in thought as the hand continued to trace the scars. This was the point where blood would start to drip down onto the white floor as more lines made their way to his pale skin.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
An hour or two after Micah had fallen asleep, Bailey began to scream and cry.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was one of those nights and Bailey always blamed himself for being so stupid and weak.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Micah woke up to screaming. He absolutely hated nights like these- seeing Bailey vulnerable was arguably what hurt Micah the most. “Bailey, no!” he yelled, waking up again with a start. He rolled over, using most of his strength to push Bailey down before climbing on top of him, still half-asleep. “Please don’t cry. You know I can’t stand it when you cry.” He kissed Bailey’s cheeks and forehead, almost got up the nerve to kiss him on the lips, and didn’t. Kissed along his collarbones. “I’m right here for you, okay? I’m right here. Feel.” He borrowed Bailey’s hand, placing it on his chest so Bailey could feel his heartbeat, and doing the same with Bailey’s other hand, to Bailey’s own chest. “We’re both here, and we’re both alive, and we love each other. Do you hear me, Bailey? I love you. You are loved and you are beautiful.” Micah hated nights like these. Eventually he calmed down, and he waited until Bailey did as well. “I had a nightmare too. Let’s just stay awake.”<br>
<br>
<br>
---x<br>
<br>
<br>
At school on a Friday two weeks from that day, a teacher pulled Micah aside, and his life changed for the worse. Not immediately, but as a direct result of the envelope she handed him. “This is for your parents,” she said. “It’s the results of the school medical exam. Please make sure your parents sign it and return it to the school, for our personal files.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Okay,” Micah agreed cheerily. A lot had happened in the past few weeks. He’d decided that since his college of choice didn’t want him, he wasn’t going to go to college in the first place. This took all of the pressure on him to get good grades off, which resulted in a Micah with more time to improve his art- eventually, that college would accept him. And then he would turn them down, and feel a great victory. Right now, he was using his art to create a graphic novel about aliens who come to earth and start a band. He was going to get it published, he was sure, to critical acclaim. Or maybe it would just be a fun pet project. Who cared, honestly?<br>
<br>
<br>
He walked home that day without incident- Ronald and his band of misfits had already gotten their weekly quota of beatings in, now that the science fair was over. He was too happy to even think about the fact that Bailey hadn’t come home with him (he had left school early for a doctor’s appointment, or a therapist’s appointment, or a psychologists appointment, or something.) Besides, if Bailey had walked with Micah, he would have been pestering Micah about the file, and if Bailey was sick and how much he weighed and if he had or was likely to develop any future issues. Micah always liked to check that on his own, so he could do research should anything pop up. Knowing the facts always brought his anxiety down.<br>
<br>
<br>
In any case, he ended up in the room, tearing open the envelope to see what he could see. His file appeared to be in order…His name was Micah Jesse, and he was seventeen going on eighteen, and his blood type was O…wait. No it wasn’t. Micah’s blood type was AB, like Bailey’s. Micah’s mom had double A blood type, and Micah’s dad had double B type. There was no way he could have gotten O, especially since he and Bailey were identical twins. He checked Bailey’s file, and, sure enough, Bailey had blood type AB. <i>That’s not possible…even if Mom and Dad had recessive I traits, and it made me O, that would mean Bailey and I are fraternal twins…but we look almost exactly the same? </i>He was confused, to say the least. But his parents had gone to the same high school and had the same tests, the results of which they kept in a locked drawer. And Micah knew where the key was.<br>
<br>
<br>
The tests confirmed his parents were AA and BB. So how…? They couldn’t have mistaken his blood for someone else’s, could they? Well, if they had, they couldn’t possibly have done it twice. There was a game…the doctors ran the whole school’s DNA tests against each other and gave a list in the back of the five people who were closest to you, DNA wise. It was called “Those you shouldn’t date”.<br>
<br>
<br>
If they were twins- regular brothers, even- then Bailey would be on the top of Micah’s list, and vice versa. Flipping his file to the back, he stared at his top five.<br>
<br>
<br>
Angela Morrison. A girl in his math class. Okay.<br>
<br>
<br>
Jessica Mayfield. A student teacher. Okay.<br>
<br>
<br>
Alice, Bryce, and Lillian Holt- His old neighbors. Okay.<br>
<br>
<br>
But no Bailey.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>They must have been right, </i>Micah rationalized. <i>All my doctors were fake and they falsified my DNA here. Just made something up. But my real DNA, I gave to that nurse…afterwards…so Bailey’s first one should be me.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey’s first one wasn’t him. Nor was his second, third, fourth, or fifth. None of their top five matched, either, which was confusing until the point that it finally sunk in.<br>
<br>
<br>
He and Bailey weren’t identical, nor half-identical, nor fraternal twins. They weren’t even brothers. There’d been some mistake.<br>
<br>
<br>
With a one hundred percent match to Bailey’s DNA, his identical twin wasn’t Micah.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was Ronald Kalford.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Bailey breathed heavily, and once he realized what was going on, he focused on Micah's heartbeat. It was faster than normal and Bailey automatically felt guilty. Smiling apologetically Bailey cupped his brother's face before bringing his head down for a quick kiss on the cheek. He didn't bother to say anything because whatever came out would most likely be an apology of some sort. Thanks to Micah, the older managed to calm down. What would Bailey do without him?<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center">-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-<br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
The chair he was sitting on was huge, even for him. It was leather round chair that would spin and always managed to suck anyone in. The therapist was to his side, occasionally scribbling down something that Bailey said. She was bright and sunny as always though, so it made him happy that she wouldn't just sit there with an unreadable expression. Her name was Jessica Yang. After going through a handful of therapists, Bailey automatically liked her. She was, as he would say, radical.<br>
<br>
<br>
"So when I woke up and came to my senses, Micah was laying on top of me, holding my hands to our hearts. God, the poor kid was scared and so worried, I automatically felt guilty." Bailey's voice was soft as he recalled that night's events. Since he met up with Jessica every two weeks, he had to wait and it was absolute hell. He never wanted to talk to people about the dreams so he had to bottle it up for two weeks. <i>Haha that's not so healthy~</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Jessica made a couple of scribbles then looked at Bailey. She couldn't get the boy to maintain eye contact, and that was a telling for her that Bailey was more than uncomfortable. He was scared shitless because for him, the effects of his medications were dying down, so the thoughts of hurting himself were beginning to rise. "Bailey? When's your next medicine checkup?"<br>
<br>
<br>
He sighed, knowing where this was going. "Since I've been doing so well, he told me that I didn't need to do a checkup unless things like this happened. I planned on making an appointment when I get home." Finally, he looked over at the therapist with a fake smile. She noticed how worn down he looked and it honestly broke her heart. She hated how kids were going through problems like these because the joy of being young gets taken away. "Hahaha... I can't believe that nothing is working now," his voice was laced with unshed tears, and finally they were spilling. "I was doing so well, you know? I wasn't thinking those thoughts but now, that's all I want to do."<br>
<br>
<br>
"At least you know that taking a razor to your skin won't do anything but make you feel worse."<br>
<br>
<br>
"I do know that, but honestly when I was cutting, I didn't care. I knew it was bad for me, but the fact that it would practically erase all of thoughts, it was so pleasurable. During those High Times, I didn't care that my body was littered with ugly scars, that there was blood everywhere and that I would have to take a shower, or anything else that was threatening to tip me over. I was invincible during those moments and I craved to feel like that all of the time."<br>
<br>
<br>
Jessica didn't speak, only looked at Bailey's tear streaked face and dull sky blue eyes.<br>
<br>
<br>
"And honestly, I would wait until the High would go down so I could scratch at them, get on up again, and get in the shower so they would sting. When it was all over I always hated it. I couldn't look anyone in the eye afterwards. Hailey had her suspicions, but whenever she would try to bring them up, I would always snap at her. She constantly contacted my parents, but I always denied them, saying that school was just stressful and that the lectures made me tired. They believed me. I'm pretty sure Micah believed all of that too. God... When I finally told everyone, they couldn't stop crying. Nell, my big sister, she never cries. Ever. But when she was over over one of her breaks and I told everyone, she was the first one to burst into tears. That's when reality and actual common sense hit me in the face, and it sucked."<br>
<br>
<br>
Jessica nodded, smiling sadly at Bailey. She noticed how he was in one of his funks, so after confronting the issue with everything he talked about, she tried her luck in a pep talk. She managed to get Bailey laughing to the point where happy tears began to collect in his eyes, and that was the best reward she could ever receive from her patients.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey was going to be fine. All he needed was some encouragement.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-<br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey marched into the house with a wide smile. He wasn't sure if Lila or Morgan were home, but he had a good feeling that Micah was.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Micaaaaah!~ Where are youuuuuuu?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">By the time Bailey arrived home from therapy, Micah had hidden all evidence that they were not brothers. Carefully examining their medical records and copying any necessary information (like Micah’s anemia, which was apparently getting worse quickly, and any of Bailey’s information that should transfer) led to the creation and print of two entirely new, falsified medical documents- signed by the “doctors” (really just Micah copying their signatures).<br>
<br>
<br>
This was out of love, Micah convinced himself- not fear. He’d already promised not to lose his older brother...did that promise not hold up in the face of his new biology? He heard Bailey enter from downstairs and was immediately grateful that he’d hidden the original documents and switched the printer’s ink cartridges. “Bailey!” Micah shouted, pleased despite himself that his brother had returned home. He scuffled downstairs and wrapped his arm around his brother, his best friend, his one true love…”I missed you!” He announced, taking in Bailey’s sweet scent. Eventually he backed off, giving Bailey some space. “Can we go out to dinner tonight? I’m in the mood for ribs.” <i>I’m in the mood to spend some time alone with you. </i>He smiled up at his brother, but his demeanor- and the lip biting- made it clear that something was wrong. “Anyway, I have our School Medical Exam results upstairs. And no, before you ask, you don’t have any strange diseases.” <i>Just a leech who breaks the law to stay with you…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
As he lead Bailey upstairs, he reflected that there were still some loose ends to tie up- namely, Ronald. It would look strange if he was a match to someone else’s identical twin, especially when he was a match to just one, not both. Micah would have to contact him quickly- like, tonight- in order to prevent him from approaching Bailey. He handed the documents to Bailey for his inspection, regretting that the paper was still warm. He felt guilty, lying to Bailey about something as huge as this. But he was so scared- what if Lila and Morgan decided to return him to his original family, or just abandon him altogether, leaving him with strangers- or no one, no one at all?<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe Micah’s biggest fear wasn’t thunderstorms, or drowning. Maybe it was being left alone.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I sat on them on the bus,” Micah lied, hoping Bailey wouldn’t ask why he spent extra money on a bus ride. He wasn’t a very good liar, and he didn’t feel like defending himself at the current moment. “Anyway, uh…” He forgot what he was going to say, but it didn’t matter for very long. His phone beeped nine times in an SOS pattern, warning him that he was receiving a text from either one of the cronies or Ronald. Absentmindedly, he picked up the phone, only to discover he had three new messages from Ronald’s number.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dude, what the fuck? Need to talk to you.” Read the first text. The second followed the same vein of thought. In big capital letters, it read “TONIGHT.” Whoa, okay. The guy sounded freaked out. Micah was about to type something in reply- something to let this guy know that tonight really wasn’t a good night to talk, and could they just text about it before meeting up at school? Then he saw the third text. “Right outside your house. Meet me outside in five and I’ll take you out to eat.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Oh, cheese. Really? This was how he decided to go about it. Micah frowned at his phone just before he heard a loud and obnoxious honk coming from just outside, below his window. <i>He’s parked in our driveway…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Not taking no for an answer,” read a new, fourth text. The fifth, which followed immediately after, seemed angry. “GET OUT HERE NOW OR I TEXT BLAST PHOTOSHOPPED NAKED PICS OF YOU TO THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Fuck. </i>“Be right out,” Micah typed, then looked back up at his brother. “Actually, I need to take a rain check on the offer of food. Unfortunately, I have something to attend to.” He brushed off his own offer easily enough, borrowing a pair of Bailey’s shoes before heading out the door. Hopping into the gorgeous red Corvette, Micah felt like a prince- that is, until Ronald opened his mouth.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Twerp.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Asshole.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“F*g.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“You love it.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Ronald scoffed. “So, I’m guessing you saw our medical report.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes.”<br>
<br>
<br>
He started the car and began driving toward the restaurant where Micah worked, Anna’s.<br>
<br>
<br>
“So, are you aware that both my parents are type O, then?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I guessed as much.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yet I happen to be type AB.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And you happen to be blood type O.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“With parents of AA and BB blood type.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“How did you…?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“My dad works at the hospital. I have access to everyone’s medical records.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well, yes. It’s true, anyway,” said Micah.<br>
<br>
<br>
“And I’m a one hundred percent match to your identical twin brother.” Micah sighed. Why Ronald, of all people? This was upsetting, to say the least.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes. It appears the hospital made a mistake.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Ronald nodded and pulled into the parking lot. “So, is it okay if I say it then?” he asked.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Go ahead. I’ve braced myself.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I believe we were switched at birth.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Bailey was surprised to hug attacked by Micah, but accepted it anyway. "Aww, you're like a puppy. It's adorable~" He squeezed the younger and nuzzled his cheek. Unlike most people who get out of therapy, Bailey was always a ball of sunshine. Most of the times he would even offer to cook dinner and even clean the house. Therapy sessions made him feel refreshed and that feeling was always welcomed.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah sure, I'll take you out to dinner, little bro. Where do you want to go? Anne's?" It took Bailey awhile to see that something was going on with Micah, but once he noticed an alarm in his head kept on going off. "Hey, Micah?" He began as they climbed the stairs. "What's wrong? Something isn't right now spill the beans." But then the medical information was shoved into his hands, making all of his attention go to that.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well at least I'm healthy. What about you?" He nudged his brother but realized he wasn't really focusing on him. Someone on his phone was catching his interest, and Bailey would be lying if he said it wasn't slightly annoying.<br>
<br>
<br>
Disappointment was obvious on Bailey's face, but he smiled anyway. "Well maybe some other time then. Tomorrow after my shift at work?" But before he could get an answer, Micah was already downstairs and through the door. Shaking his head, Bailey made his way into his room and sat down on the bright orange beanbag chair, staring at the medical paperwork in his hands. To him, they really meant nothing. It was just paper telling him he was healthy and he already knew as much. Well, he knew that he was physically healthy. As healthy as a horse! He wasn't so sure on the mental part though...<br>
<br>
<br>
Just as he was about to grab one of his textbooks that was nearby, familiar footsteps pattered there way towards his bedroom until the door was open. "What are you doing?" Her voice was smooth and accented. However, that wasn't what gave the person away.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Hey Hailey. I was just about to do some homework. Are my parents home?" She plopped down on the beanbag chair across from him. That one was black.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah, your mom just got home," she said nonchalantly. At this point in their friendship, they practically lived at each other's houses, so Hailey always walked into the house as if it was her own. She would greet the parents and then go forth.<br>
<br>
<br>
Nodding, Bailey put down the textbook and looked up at her. Her dark chocolate eyes stared into his bright blue ones, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never read them unless she was actually showing some sort of emotion. She cocked her head to the side in silent questioning and Bailey only sighed. "Something's wrong with Micah. He seemed fine this morning, but when I got home from my therapist appointment, he was all jittery and nervous. He was also super excited to see me as if I hadn't been home in a couple of days. Then, after he hugged me to death, he said he wanted to go out to dinner, but then he suddenly rain checked on me!" At the last statement, Bailey's hands went up in disbelief. It was obvious that he was confused.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey smiled a bit, slightly enjoying the brotherly love vibes. "Maybe he's still shaken from getting rejected from the school. Give him some time."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah maybe," but that wasn't the problem.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">“Get out,” grumped Ronald, walking out of the car by himself. He didn’t make any attempt to open the door for Micah or help him in any way, which gave Micah a strange thought. <i>If they are identical twins, this is definite proof that the environment shapes the person…</i>Bailey had never, not once, not taken an opportunity to be the “chivalrous” twin. Not that Micah could remember, anyway.<br>
<br>
<br>
“We’re here because almost no one comes here at this time of day,” Ronald announced, walking up to the front desk. “Table for two.” He glanced back at Micah and stuck out his tongue. “Let me make myself absolutely clear: I do not want to be seen with you.” He turned back to the host. “Back corner, in an area that isn’t so well-lit.” The host smirked and Micah groaned, because he knew exactly what the guy was thinking- but, of course, Ronald was clueless. If it had been any other two people, he would have thought the same thing. The fact that he knew and was personal friends with the waiter? Not good.<br>
<br>
<br>
The back of Anna’s was the “make-out” area, a specific place for couples to do their thing. The place was notorious also because several people had claimed to have lost various parts of their virginity back there. And now he was going back there with Ronald Kalford…<br>
<br>
<br>
As soon as they were seated at a table, Ronald switched them to a booth. “They always say these aren’t available, when they are. They don’t like me at this place. So I ask for a table and get a booth.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“’Kay.” Was Micah supposed to care, or…? Their booth got silent until a waiter came back around to take their order. Feeling a little vindictive (as one typically does when they are threatened with text blasts and forced to talk to someone they didn’t like), Micah ordered the spaghetti. It was the most expensive thing on the Anna’s menu, organic gluten-free artisanal bread included.<br>
<br>
<br>
“My friends call me Ronnie,” said Ronald, a while later as they enjoyed their meal. Micah stared at him, unsure what to do with that information.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Ronnie, huh?” he said finally, taking a drink from the Shirley Temple that he’d also ordered. “That’s a…nice name.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I didn’t say <i>you </i>could call me that,” Ronnie snapped, suddenly angry. Micah wondered why on Earth he would volunteer that information if he didn’t want it to be used. “Let me make something very clear to you: We are not friends, by any stretch of the word.” <i>Ooh, that smarts. Not. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Are we going to talk about the switched at birth thing?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I don’t see what there is to talk about. I want to stay with my filthy rich parents. You want to stay with your ‘brother’. As long as we don’t say shit, nobody needs to know. And before you go get all worried about the documents, don’t. I have friends in high up places. The problem has been solved.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah stared at him for a long moment, trying to read something in his face that he just couldn’t see. “If there isn’t much to talk about, why go out of your way to make a huge, long dinner of it?” He glared- although it looked a bit rusty, as he didn’t do it often. “Why act so freaked out over this?” ‘Ronnie’ twitched, and Micah took the opportunity to tease him. “It’s not like you want to hang out with me, right, <i>Ronnie?</i>” He twirled his hair around his finger.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I…uh. I didn’t know what would get you to go with me. I thought about apologizing for kicking your ass in the past, but you’d probably think it was a ploy so I could beat you up again.” Very true. “I’m just coming to terms with my sexuality now. I was worried you wouldn’t go out on a date with me if I asked you outright.”<br>
<br>
<br>
It took a few seconds before the weight of that statement really hit Micah. “Wait. You…think this is a date?”<br>
<br>
<br>
---x<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>A few hours earlier:</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Sora never knocked politely. If someone didn’t notice his presence after he rang the doorbell five times, he was kicking his way in. This was exactly what he did.<br>
<br>
<br>
Marching up the stairs, he found Hailey and Bailey exactly where he expected them to be- hanging out in Bailey’s room, talking about whatever it was they talked about when he and Micah weren’t around. “Did I miss something?” He asked. “I don’t seem to recall there being any reason for Micah to ride off with Ronald Kalford.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The two just sat there for a minute, their own thoughts over taking them. Hailey, at the moment, was wondering how her parents agreed to let her spend the night at the Kettenring household. She had lied before, saying that she was going to go to Alyssa Sabin's house (she lived a couple of houses down), but felt guilty. When Hailey arrived home to told her parents, who just laughed and said that she could spend the night there with no problem. However, if she were to get pregnant, all hell would break loose. When Bailey finally got informed, he had laughed so hard that he began to cry.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey, however, was thinking about how to pass that damn test in science. No matter how much he enjoyed biology in freshman year, he sometimes regretted taking AP Bio. He was good at all of the subjects within the class except the functions of the cell. They all confused him to no end. No amount of flashcards could help him, he seemed to think.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Want me to help you study?" She sounded bored, but not with Bailey.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah sure."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Worrying about Micah isn't going to solve anything, you know."<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm not worrying about him!" Bailey shouted, his cheeks turning a light pink. He was in the back of his mind, but Bailey was more worried about the test, dammit!<br>
<br>
<br>
Snorting, Hailey got up and grabbed his note cards. They sat there for some time, cries of agony, annoyance, and joy could be heard from downstairs, and Lila was almost going to go check on them but then Sora made his fabulous appearance. She honestly didn't even hear him at the door. "Hello, dear!" She called out before he stomped up the stairs.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey was in the middle of telling the function in detail about the mitochondria, but then Sora burst through the door.<br>
<br>
<br>
"<i>WHAT?!</i>" Bailey and Hailey yelled out, dropping all of the note cards.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey stood up, furious. "Micah rain checked me for that damn prick?!" His cheeks were red in anger and he couldn't help but clench his fists. "My own brother ditched me for fucking <i>Kalford</i>? That... That...!" He couldn't bring himself to really call his twin anything rude, but that didn't take away the hurt.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Micah didn’t come home for hours. No way. He was having way too much fun with this. Ever since he found out Ronnie Kalford liked him, he’d decided to torture the poor older boy the same way he’d been tortured. Micah had been teasing him all night, and Ronald Kalford was going with it. He kissed Ronnie’s cheeks at the top of the Ferris wheel at the creepy old abandoned theme park outside of town. He made Kalford dance with him on the outskirts of town. He even piggy-backed the poor boy down a trail nearby. But did Ronnie Kalford get a kiss when he dropped Micah off at home? No, no he did not.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You’ll have to wait for our next date,” Micah teased, climbing out of the car on his own. Ronnie only sighed, looking rather pestered by the statement. “What?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I don’t know if there will be a next date,” Ronnie admitted. “I mean, my back is pretty sore…” But Micah had had too much of a fun night to let Ronnie go this early on. <i>If I closed my eyes, I could even imagine it was Bailey. Bailey…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
He walked over to the driver’s side of the car, leaned over and kissed Ronnie on the lips.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Now can we have a second date?” He untangled Ronnie’s fingers from his hair, stepping away with a coy smile. <i>I wonder how hard I’m blushing…that was my first kiss, after all. Pretty special.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Ronnie’s eyes widened and he bounced his head up and down, a very affirmative <i>yes. </i>“That must’ve been pretty good if you nod that much.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It’s the first time I kissed someone I actually liked.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It’s the first time I kissed someone at all.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Ronnie blinked and then grinned. “Oh, we are <i>so </i>going on a second date.” And that was all he said before peeling out.<br>
<br>
<br>
When Micah turned around, Sora was standing there. He would have expected to see either utter confusion and shock or a shit-eating I-was-right grin on his face. Instead, Sora stood there with no emotion on his face whatsoever as he held up a tape recorder.<br>
<br>
<br>
The recording started at “You’ll have to wait for our next date” and ended at “Oh, we are <i>so </i>going on a second date.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Let me guess,” said a very nervous Micah when the recording was finished. “Twenty bucks or you tell Bailey.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Incorrect,” said Sora. “I have more scruples than that. It is completely wrong of you to hide information from your twin, even if that information is, say, that you went on a date with his worst enemy, or, say, that you like guys. So your choices are: either you tell Bailey, or I show Bailey. You have one hour.” He turned and walked back into the house without saying anything, leaving Micah outside all alone. He stared down at his hands, wondering if Bailey would ever hold them again.  It was pretty obvious that Micah had a decision to make- and he had to hurry, or the decision would be made for him. <i>Bailey…</i></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">They didn't know how long they had been sitting there, fuming about Micah leaving with Ronald or trying to ignore the fact that Micah left with Ronald. At first Bailey and Hailey were livid; saying how they were going to force him to spill and figure out why the hell he would just leave without any warning.<br>
<br>
<br>
At one point, Bailey got so frustrated because two hours passed without any reply from Micah, that he ended up putting on a tshirt and basketball shorts, then ran for a couple of miles. When he returned, Hailey and Sora were still there, looking at each other awkwardly. Bailey only threw his sweaty shirt in the bin and collapsed on his bed. Hailey ended up getting up from her position at his desk and played with his hair. She had learned that it comforted him and could sometimes calm him down.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Why would he leave with Kalford? Out of everyone, he left with <i>him</i>." Bailey sounded completely defeated. His voice was monotone with a twinge of worry. "What if Kalford made him go? What if my poor Micah is getting hurt?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey shushed him and flicked his nose. "Bailey Gabe," she sighed, shaking her head. "It is absolutely wonderful that you love and care for your brother, but you have to realize that Micah is a big boy. He knows how to take care of himself-"<br>
<br>
<br>
"But that doesn't explain why he decided to leave the house with my enemy!"<br>
<br>
<br>
"About that enemy shit, it's pathetic and you know it."<br>
<br>
<br>
"You're just trying to make me shut up."<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey sighed and nodded. "I hate how we know each other so well. It sucks."<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey didn't reply, but just stared at his ceiling. Sora managed to lighten the mood dozens of times, but it just wasn't working. As they were in the middle of a conversation debating how one would manage to survive on an island with only a small pocket knife, a one foot rope, and a pencil, the purr of Ronald's car made everyone perk up. Sora immediately ran down the stairs, so Hailey and Bailey decided to stand in the living room. With arms crossed and angry faces, they looked like a pair of parents ready to scold a child. Well... They were, actually. When Micah made it into the house, Bailey spoke first. "Where have you been?" His voice was low and there was no room for jokes right now.<br>
<br>
<br>
Then it was Hailey's turn. "We have been worried about you! Why the hell did you think it was a good idea to go with Ronald Kalford?!" This Hailey wasn't calm and collected like she normally was and that was even scaring Bailey.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">When Micah entered the living room, the temperature of the whole house dropped a noticeable few degrees. “Hi, guys,” he said, blushing a bit at their concerned stares. At least he didn’t have that much to hide, considering he’d only just lost his first kiss- and nothing else. “What’s up?” He laughed uncomfortably for a moment, just until Hailey and Bailey launched in on him.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Where have you been?” Bailey growled, his voice making the hair on the back of Micah’s neck stand up.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Uh, lots of places,” Micah laughed, biting his lip. That wasn’t technically a lie, so he was safe, right? They weren’t going to get mad, right? “I’m still deciding whether or not it’s your business to know.” This was also not a lie, but it was kind of a rude thing to say.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey started in on him then, losing her usual composure in order to pelt a lesson into his ears. “We have been worried about you! Why the hell did you think it was a good idea to go with Ronald Kalford?!"<br>
<br>
<br>
Oh, shit. They knew who he was with? Well, that wasn’t good. Micah sighed and wandered through the house until he happened upon the kitchen. “Look: I know you seem to think you’re my mother, but you’re not. I have no obligation to tell you where I was, what I was doing, or who I was with. If you have a problem, well, you’re Bailey’s girlfriend, not mine. In other words, I don’t care.” And that was it. Micah’s bottled up feelings were coming out full speed ahead, and he <i>did not care </i>what or who heard what he had to say.<br>
<br>
<br>
“However, because I’m in a great mood, I will tell you anyway: I was with Ronnie Kalford; he bought me dinner and took me on a date. We rode a Ferris Wheel. We danced. And he let me piggy back him down that cool trail on the edge of town. I had my first kiss when he dropped me off at home, and let me tell you, he is a <i>supreme </i>kisser. I mean, like, wow. Chemistry. We are going on a second date. Oh, and by the way, I am gay. Not bi. Not pan. Not anything that could possibly like a girl. Flat out gay. Oh, and I don’t care if you think it’s gross, because I don’t. I’m perfectly happy with myself. The only reason I never came out is because I didn’t want Bailey to be pissed at me- but, oh, look!” Micah turned around and pointed out the window. “Look at our barren backyard! It seems to be growing all the fucks I don’t give! I really don’t care anymore.”<br>
<br>
<br>
He stared at Bailey, who had followed him into the kitchen, and his eyes and words softened. “I’ve known I was gay since I was eight. That is nine long years where I couldn’t say anything. I thought you or Mom or Dad would be mad at me. Please don’t be mad at me.” Micah stood there a moment, letting the full reality of his words sink in. “I gotta go.” <i>Before I reveal anything else…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
He took off, eventually climbing up the stairs and locking himself in Nell’s room again. <i>Maybe I should just tell him we’re not brothers, too…it’s not like I could make anything worse. </i>He let himself sink into Nell’s bed and wondered if he’d lost all three of his favorite people tonight. <i>Probably… </i>With that thought, he allowed himself to sink into a nightmare.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Bailey followed Micah with heavy steps. He was only angry at first, but Micah insulting Hailey? That was a big no no. Micah knew that him and Hailey had never had romantic feelings towards each other. There are times where Bailey pretends to be her boyfriend so people will leave her alone, but that was it. None of it was serious and all four of them knew that. Well, Bailey thought Micah was informed, but apparently not. As he followed his brother, he began to confront him.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Are you stupid?! Do you really think Hailey and I are dating?! I only pretend to help her out! We have never liked each other romantically, and it's sad that you can't seem to see that. If I didn't know any better, I would say you're extremely jealous that I spend time with her and pay attention to her!" Bailey was almost yelling, and if he started, there was no way he was going to stop. It was a good thing their parents had left ages ago, or else things would get even uglier.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Hailey cares about you! She loves you, dammit! Open your damn eyes!"<br>
<br>
<br>
With every word Micah spoke, Bailey just got more angry. By the end of his twin's rant, he was livid and no amount of exercise was going to help it right now. The only way, sadly, would be to yell at Micah. He hated doing it, but he couldn't help himself.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You damn jerk! I can't believe you had the audacity to hangout with that fucking prick!" Hailey was going to go and try to calm him down, but when Bailey swears, it's best to leave him alone. That is, if you don't want to get punched. "You know Kalford is just bad news but yet you go on a date with him?! Who the hell are you?" As Micah was headed up the stairs, Bailey stood at the base, his whole face red.<br>
<br>
<br>
"And you're not the only one who's not straight, you damn baby!"<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>What the hell am I doing? Why am I yelling at him?</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
"Just because you're gay, it doesn't make you special or pitied! Imagine this, I'm fucking bisexual and I lead a normal life!"<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>I need to stop. If I don't stop yelling, he'll start crying and I don't want to hurt him.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
"Grow up and realize that the three of us wouldn't hate you! We all understand! Don't be such a coward!"<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>He's never going to forgive me. Not ever. Oh my god I need to stop.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
Stop stop stop. I need to just stop.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
As if she was reading his thoughts, Hailey kicked him right in the crotch, making him shut up. "How can you be so shameless?!" She yelled at him, getting angry just by listening to all of the drama. "Both of you are pathetic! You need to calm down, let Micah calm down, and then march your ass upstairs to apologize!" Without any warning, the five foot three inch girl began to drag him outside and onto the sidewalk. "I don't care how angry you are, you NEVER yell at Micah! Not ever! I shouldn't have to tell you this. You should be ashamed and guilty and feeling terrible."<br>
<br>
<br>
Hailey made Bailey sit in their driveway and watched as he began to do breathing exercises. Bailey felt so terrible. He wanted to rewind time and just let Micah explain. They should have sat down and talked it out. Found out why the youngest felt the need to go hangout with Kalford. Did it have something to do with Micah trying to piss off Ronald in some way? Was he just trying to be funny?<br>
<br>
<br>
Or was it because for some stupid ass reason, Micah really liked Ronald Kalford?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">“You damn jerk! I can't believe you had the audacity to hang out with that fucking prick!" Starting from there, Bailey’s words haunted Micah’s dreams. It was a long night he spent in Nightmareland, but when he finally came out of it, he’d regained all of his senses. He needed to apologize to everyone. Now. (Well, everyone except Sora. With all due respect, that guy kind of deserved a kick in the face.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah slowly tripped his way downstairs, wishing his feet hadn’t fallen asleep. It hurt to walk, but still he got himself out the door to the lush front yard. “Bailey? Hailey? Are you out here?” In a moment, his eyes adjusted to the dark outside world and he saw Hailey. Best to deal with that one first, as it would no doubt be easier. “Hailey? I am so, so sorry. I acted…inappropriately. I never should have said any of the things I said to you.” He turned to Bailey. “Bailey, I…” His mouth went dry and his face got hot just looking at this boy. He whimpered and his apology changed. He felt embarrassed as soon as the words left his lips. “I need some Twin Time.” <i>I wonder if he can tell I’m blushing, since it’s so dark. I haven’t asked since we were twelve…</i>“It’s really important to me that we clear the air about this…” He made a gesture between the two of them. “All of this…”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Apology not accepted.” Hailey interrupted the moment, all five feet and two or three inches drawn up to its full height. Her hands were on her hips and she wore a scowl like some women wear scarves: with pride. “You’ll have to make it up to me with your actions, not just your words. But when your apology is accepted, I’ll let you know.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Micah crumpled a little bit on the inside, but he didn’t let it show. He had lost Hailey, if she was willing to say something like that. And he didn’t even want Sora right now. All he wanted was to clear the air with Bailey. But it wasn’t looking like that was going to happen right now, because Micah was about to cry and he couldn’t talk when he cried. “Fine, whatever.” He teared up, and the next thing he knew he’d kissed Bailey on the lips and ran off down the street. When he was at the perfect distance for the both of them to still hear him but far enough away that he had a head start if either of them started to chase him, he started (and finished) talking. “I wanted my first kiss to be with you anyway…” <i>Actually, it looked like this is the end of us being twins, so I thought I’d take the only chance I had. </i>“Call me if you ever want to be my brother again. Until you’re willing to clear the air, I’m going to stay with someone else.”<br>
<br>
<br>
And he did. He got away, as far away as it was possible for him to go: to the edge of town. Then he took the bus. And the train. And a couple more busses, and then he walked and walked until he was in the little college town of his youth. (For once, he was glad his bank put those giant, annoying ATMs everywhere.) “Ah…Westwood…” He smiled, breathing in the cold and unfriendly air. Somehow, this had become his heaven. He’d been planning to come here for a while, as soon as he heard about the local open-door policy. It sounded like the perfect place for him to hide out if there ever was trouble.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You’re a no-questions-asked salon, right?” He inquired, inspiring nodded heads and smiles.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Great,” said Micah, feeling relieved. “I need a manicure, pedicure, hair extensions, and make-up. Can you do all that? I need to be indistinguishable from your next pretty girl.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yup. We got you.” And so, Micah’s new life…or, his new life until Bailey called…began.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">His lips were soft, and if Bailey didn't think that Micah was his twin, he would have pulled him down. But that wasn't the case. Bailey had no idea that they weren't related, so he ended up pulling away as soon as he processed what the hell was going on. When he did, his face was a tomato red; not because that was his first kiss. Oh no. He has had many escapades with men and women. Sometimes they went all the way, but most of the time it was just some pretty heavy kissing.<br>
<br>
<br>
"M-Micah! Why...?" He suddenly stood up and looked helplessly at his brother. Once he began to run, Bailey took off after him, but couldn't reach him in enough time. At the sudden defeat, he collapsed onto the sidewalk which made his knees bloody. He couldn't believe that his brother just... left. Before he knew it, Bailey's eyes were watering and a harsh sob broke through him. Hailey sprinted up to him and hugged him from behind.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Bailey," she said, her voice breaking. The last time she saw her best friend crying from hurt, it had been when he went over to her house at one in the morning. He had broke and got a hold of a razor again. That night, Bailey was a wreck, and it broke her heart. "Bailey just give him some time, okay? There is obviously something on his mind and he needs some time apart from you." She finally got him to stand up and walked him home.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey shook his head and leaned on Hailey. "He said he wanted Twin Time. That means he needed some time with me. Oh my god, I've been so focused on school that I haven't been paying attention to him." This was when tears began to go down his cheeks.<br>
<br>
<br>
"He'll come back," she whispered, leading him into the house and up the stairs to his room. "Where the hell are your parents?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey sniffed and shrugged. "They went on some trip. They won't be back until Monday."<br>
<br>
<br>
"It's Friday," she said lamely.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yup.<br>
<br>
<br>
 Without saying anything, he went onto his bed and curled up and listened to the grandfather clock downstairs. He needed comfort but yet he wanted to be left alone. Hailey understood, so she sat on the edge of his bed, looking at nothing. At one point he fell asleep, so she laid down next to him since he was moving like mad. She guessed a couple hours had passed until Bailey finally woke up. The first thing he said was, "I need to call Micah."<br>
<br>
<br>
Bailey nodded and began to play with his hair. "Try texting him, okay?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Nodding, Bailey pulled out his phone with shaky hands and carefully pulled up his messages with his twin.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>To: Micah!~</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
[sENT: 11:46 PM]</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
Micah, I'm sorry for getting so mad at you. Where are you? I need you to come home. Where ever you are, I'll hope in the car and come get you. Please. I'm worried.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
I love you.</i></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Micah didn’t recognize his own mirror image. The salon workers had done a great job: from the neck up, he was a curly haired blonde girl. The make-up was startling; bringing out his baby blues (Micah ditched his colored contacts; luckily, he usually kept his glasses on him). “Can I come in here every day?” he asked, conspicuously leaving them a generous tip in their tip jar. The black-haired one, Melanie, smiled: usually, their customers weren’t so polite about the results of their makeovers. Of course, usually their customers didn’t already have the cheekbones necessary to pull off being the opposite sex.<br>
<br>
<br>
“As long as you have the money to pay for our services…” She said. “We open at eight, but we arrive around seven if you want to come earlier…By the way, I know I said this place was no questions asked, but would you mind if I ask?” Micah sighed. These were nice people…he couldn’t just lie to them, could he? So it came down to how much of the truth he should tell.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I just lost everyone today. My best friend betrayed me. My other friend is very angry with me. I’m not my parents biological child…I don’t think I have a twin any more, either.” His phone buzzed in his back pocket, but he ignored it. Just a text. Clearly nothing important… “It’s best if I start my life over again somewhere else as someone else. I always planned to come here when shit went down, though I thought I’d get another year or two before they all started to hate me. I guess it’s good I didn’t get into the college of my choice, either; I can just get my GED and take my college courses here.”<br>
<br>
<br>
When he looked up, Melanie, Peggy-Jane, and Joe were staring at him with a look of concern and disapproval.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“So, you came here without completing high school.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And you don’t have anywhere to go.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well, I was planning-“<br>
<br>
<br>
“And you don’t have a job.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I do!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Not here.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well, no…”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And, let me guess: you didn’t pack any clothes.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well-“<br>
<br>
<br>
“You can’t pass as a girl from the top down.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Not yet, but-“<br>
<br>
<br>
“And you probably only cased the area online. Have you even been here before?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No, but-“<br>
<br>
<br>
“Hold your tongue. I’m not done.” Melanie grinned. “You know what happens to kids who do what you’re doing?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“What?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“They become hairstylists.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Peggy and Joe rolled their eyes.<br>
<br>
<br>
“So what do you think I should do?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Go home, kid. Get some sleep. Talk to your parents. Talk to your friends. If you were raised as twins, I doubt he cares whether it’s biological or not.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I care.” said Micah. “It matters to me. He was my best friend and my confidant all rolled in to one.” He paused to give due consideration. “I don’t want to go back and try to solve anything. I already did that and it got worse. So if you’re that concerned about me, don’t yell at me, because it won’t help. Help me get a job. Help me get some clothes. Help me get some contacts and an apartment. Help me enroll in high school. That will help.”<br>
<br>
<br>
His phone buzzed again, as if to say <i>you still have unread messages. </i>“I’m going to go. I need to shop for girly clothes.” He sauntered out, only to be stopped by a hand on his arm.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was Joe.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I’ll help you buy girly clothes.” said Joe. “We can deal with everything else later, and you can stay with me until we find you an apartment.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Really?” Micah squealed. “Thank you!”<br>
<br>
<br>
His phone buzzed. But Micah was too busy hugging Joe.</div>
