I've always wanted to hear those three words from his lips, and now I've finally heard him say the most beautiful words 'I love you.' Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I couldn't help the shaking of my shoulders.
"I'm sorry Issy.", he comforted me. He wrapped his arms around me.
'no it's fine.", I assured him. I felt my lip quiver, but I still smiled. I was happy for him. "I did tell you to lie didn't I?", I laughed while my eyes dropped in sadness. "And you answered I love you...", I paused and stayed silent in his arms.
He loved my sister... Isn't that funny? I've always known, but I had to tell him I loved him. Before he answered I told him to lie to me, because I already knew the answer. Yet I needed him to say it. I needed to hear it from his lips even if it was fake, and I heard it.
I pulled away from his arms, and kept my look to the ground. "I wish you luck with my sister.", I lied while backing away from him.
"Issy I-", he started, but I didn't hear the rest. I was too busy running. I had to get away from him... and my sister especially.
I continued to run with my eyes closed. Everyone loves my twin sister. Everyone admired her beauty, her laughter, and how she was always ready to talk to anyone... but me. No one cared for a mute like me. A girl who barely speaks, and rarely laughs. That was me. I was the sister never seen. To busy lurking in my sisters shadow, and now she took the only one I loved away... but I was used to it by now.
"Issy doesn't get anything... but Amanda does.", I always had to repeat that to myself as I grew up. Trying to get myself to get use to the fact that I never won. I slew down, and clasped by a dieing Oak tree. I breathed hard as I felt my tears keep falling. My hands they were shaking as I wrapped them around my legs that were now pressed against my chest.
"Why?", I whispered to myself. Why was I always the one left alone. I rocked back and forth trying to comfort myself like I always did, but like always it never worked. I was alone, and that's that.
