Alone cause you're not here

"And I was like shut it Karen how about I snatch that fake face of yours and shove it down your throat? And she had the audacity to say- Ughh how many times to I have to tell you to stop using your phone while were talking? You're typing there non stop while I talk about my life. C'mon Alish we only got to see each other like two times every three days because of college." Kyla -my bestfriend also my favorite cousin - said as she groaned and took a big bite out of my cake. 

"Gosh Kyla don't overreact I mean we see each other all the time. You are litterally my freakin neighbor." I answered and grabbed her milktea and took a sip. We are currently having a chit chat at the nearby college cafe owned by one of my friends. 

I'm the typical famous college girl with lots of rich freinds and boy drooling over me. Don't get me wrong I may be famous and kinda wealthy but I don't bully no one. Mom would always teach me how to treat others nicely so that I would make lots of friends. I'm also a straight A student and help at a daycare near my apartment when I have the time. Some people calls me "ideal" or "Too good to be true" but honestly I'm just a normal human being. 

Kyla over hear is the same grade as me and is a varsity player. She plays well in soccer and also the top of her class. She acts a bit boyish compared to me and talks a bit harshly when she doesn't like the person. Were complete opposite but we get along really well. You know what they say opposite attracts. 

"Yeah yeah anyway I'll continue my story later m'kay? I still have to run to the company cause there was a sudden photoshoot and they need me. See ya later okay? Let's have a sleep over like we used to do when we were young." She stated and kissed my cheek.  

I forgot to mention but she is also a model at a rising company for about five months now. She loves modeling and also cooking that's why she was planning on opening a restaurant in the near future. 

I waved at her and started walking towards my apartment. It was a good twelve minute walk and I do need to burn all the sugars that I ate at the cafe. Kyla and I are inseparable and we do kinda look alike since were cousin hahahaha. Ever since we were a baby we already stick by each other's side. She wouldn't leave my side and I wouldn't leave her's. She treated me nicely and acted like a sister to me. I really wanted a sister but mom said that I lost my twin when I was born. 

I cried myself to sleep for almost a week when I found out about that. Imagine loosing someone that's like half of you and my twin didn't even experience life. I became depressed after hearing that news and became suicidal. Call me shallow but I thought of ending my life so that I could see my twin. 

I told kyla about that and she stayed at my house for almot a year to comfort me. She filled the missing piece in my life that was suppose to be my twin's spot. She made me realize that my twin will be sad when she'll found out that I'm like this. She made me happier. She helped me cure my depression because of my twin and because of my slef insecurities. She stayed by my side through hard times and good times. That's why I really really love her. 

While walking back to my apartment I saw a convenience store and hurriedly went inside. 

"Woah look at all this snacks! Kyla will surely like this. I will buy this as a sorry for not paying attention to her early." I mumbled and bought all of her favorites. 

I happily skipped back at my apartment and placed all the snacks at the living room since we always watch movies when we sleepover. The icecream were stored at the freezer since I know it will take her about two hours before her photoshoot will be over. 

After arranging some couches and pillows and blankets I felt proud and satisfied so I decided to take a short break. I scrolled through tiktok for a while and didn't realize I've spent an hour and a half watching some random tiktoks. I changed my clothes to a pajama since it's currently six forty-five pm and kyla will be here in like thirty minutes. 

*ding dong*

"Huh? That can't be Kyla." I mumbled and went towards the door. I opened it to reveal a delivery man and a package. 

"A package for a Alish Herls?" He asked. 

I smiled and took the package and signed something. I actually don't know what the flip is inside this package I just smiled at the man cause I wanted to look nice. 

I grabbed a pair of scissors and opened it. The box revealed pictures and certificate of my twin sister. Uhm bruh my sister is dead. 

While scanning every baby pictures and the birth certificate I dropped the last photo and took the cd inside it looked old and like it was hidden for a long time. I played it at my tv and as the first footage was shown I dropped on both my knees ad tears left my

eyes. 

"N-no... It's I-it can't be... How? H-how could she?"

In the footage was my aunt stealing my twin sister at the nursery room while the nurses were away and left like nothing happened. I immediately went back to the package and scanned the pictures again and again. 

"H-how?"

Me and her looks exactly the same but how couldn't I notice it before? People do sometimes say that I look like her all the time but I just keep saying that were related but didn't put much thought about it. 

"Kyla." I mumbled. 

"That's why we are inseparable even though were clearly opposites! Were twins. She was the twin that I thought was dead. She's my twin!" I shouted with pure happiness in my tone and hugged her picture. 

I took out the cd and put the TV on a random channel as I took out my phone to give the news to Kyla. The smile in my lips remained as I dialed her number. 

"Breaking news: 19 year old model named Kyla Rivile found dead as the car she was riding crashed. The two other people only got minor injuries as they were seated at the back. Report says it that she was texting and didn't see the car in front of her so she tried to move her car but accidentally loose control and hit the tree that caused the crash." 

I dropped my phone as I watch the news in horror. This is just a dream right? I'm gonna wake up and Kyla will still be by my side right? She wouldn't leave me right? More and more tears left my eyes as I move closer to the TV hitting it slightly. 

"THIS IS A FLIPPING LIE! KYLA IS STILL ALIVE! YOU ALREADY TOOK HER FROM ME? WHY ARE YOU DOING IT AGAIN?!" 

I cried harder when they show the picture of her phone and the text that was the reason her car crashed. It has my name and the text she was supposedly gonna send was... 

"I got a news for you from a package that was sent at the company and ohmygosh I'm so excited! I can't wait to tell you about what happened though you'll probably hate my mom but yeah. I'll be there soon. See ya! Love u lots twin!"

The twin part looked like she was debating whether to put it there or not. I was a crying mess knowing I was the reason she died. 

The news then showed a picture of her. It was a photo taken by me and she posted it at her Instagram. It was at the cafe earlier the last time we spent together. 

"How can you leave me again? You were the only one I have. Mom doesn't care about me that much. Your all that I have. I am lost without you. I'm scared when you go away. I'm nothing without you. You're my other half. You're my twin so why?" I asked as I stare at her photo on the TV. 

"Why are you leaving me alone again?"
