"Excited about the exhibition?", Karlie Ann asked as she entered her sister's room.
"Excited and nervous", Adrian said while brushing her hair.
It was Adrian's art exhibition and she was preparing to head out. She looked at her finger that still wore the diamond ring she was given 3 years ago. She misses him and she hasn't been able to contact him since the beginning of that week.
"He still hasn't called?", Karlie Ann asked when she noticed her sister was staring at the ring.
"He hasn't. I'm kinda worried because he doesn't do without calling or texting a day. And now it's been 8 days."
"Don't worry. Maybe he's just busy."
"I don't think so. Even if it's in the mid night he is free, he always text at least."

Growing Pains Chapter 1
? Adrian's POV?I stepped down from the plane, I knew immediately that my life is going to change for the better. My chest tightened as I smelled the not too familiar air of New York after 11 years of leaving home.I tightened my grip on my bag and continued walking to see the familiar face that will welcome me back home. I know my family will miss me... I mean why won't they, it's been 11 years but I'm certain not all of them will. As I walked, I heard the sweetest voice I missed calling my name."Adrian", I recognized the voice immediately and smiled. I turned my head to the direction of the voice and I saw him, my twin, Aiden. He is taller than I am with black hair and blue eyes like mine. He was wearing a green shirt and a pair of black trousers with a pair of black shoes.

"You are back.""Yes, I am. I'm back from the prison you sent me to", I said and I started to walk but stopped when I heard him talk again."You know that is a rude way to talk to your father."I turned to look at him and said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, Mr Kendall. I meant to say, I'm back from the 11 years adventure." I rolled my eyes and walked away from him. I didn't look back but I know it hurts him to hear me talk to him like that but I don't care because he didn't care about me 11 years ago when he believed when Karen
