Chapter 51

AvaOkay, so yeah, I pushed that wedding date up like it was some kind of race I had to win, knowing damn well it was gonna slam into Liv harder than a truck, but come on, wasn't I just trying to live my own messed-up life at that point, grabbing whatever scraps of control I could because everything else felt like it was slipping through my fingers like sand no, wait, screw that, no fancy crap, just straight up, I did it to hurt her back, plain and simple, but hey, if she could go ahead and date Rowan right after, acting like she was all moved on and happy, then why the hell couldn't she just focus on him and leave me to my fake-ass marriage with Caleb, you know? Life sure as shit wasn't handing me any easy passes either, fans splitting hairs over which twin was better, some of them straight-up preferring Liv because she was the "real" one, the chill one who didn't have to plaster on a smile for cameras, while I got labeled the ice queen, and then there were Caleb's rabid little bunni

Chapter 52

Ava The next few days were weird, us tiptoeing around each other, him installing more cameras like it was his new hobby, and me on the inside? I was obsessing, counting days, peeing on sticks way too early, negative after negative, and I'd cry in the bathroom, thinking why won't this work, is the universe hating me too? One night, I cornered him in the kitchen, "We need to do it again." He choked on his beer, "What? Now?" "Yes now," I said, pulling him toward the bedroom, "practice makes perfect." He followed hating but we did, slower this time, him actually looking at me like he saw me, "Stop torturing yourself." "Easy for you," I snapped, grabbing it back, "they love you, hate me." He hugged me from behind, Weeks later, I finally got a positive test, I waved it at Caleb, "Look!" He didn't even smile wide, "Finally got it huh!" but then paled, "Are we ready?" "No," I laughed, hugging him, "but too late now." He smiled a little. I told dad and he was excited, Mom was happy but she w

Chapter 53

~Ava~I snapped, stepping into his space, "You say that but every fight it's like you're wishing it was her here, not me, well tough luck, you knocked me up because I guilt-tripped your ass into it, remember, that night with the rat, me crying, you falling for it?" He backed up a step, voice rising, "Guilt-tripped? You threw yourself at me, yeah, but I went along, don't twist it!" "Twist?" I laughed bitter, "You're the one twisting everything, acting like you care when you just regret not being with her!" He shook his head, "I don't regret, but yeah, this? The pills, the wrapping, it's dangerous, stop!" "Or what," I yelled, "you gonna leave? Go run to Liv? Kiss her secretly when I don't know about it? Or even fuck her? See Caleb I don't think you understand how much I want us to end up together. I don't care if you fuck her right here in front of me, I'll kill this baby and put it out all on you and make you to have another baby with me, do you understand? An if you keep it up that's

Chapter 54

~Ava~I was out in the middle of nowhere for this stupid shoot, some abandoned cabin thing in the woods that the photographer swore would give that "rustic glow" vibe, but then the sky just opened up like it had a grudge, rain pounding down so hard the dirt road turned into a mud river, and the whole crew was scrambling, yelling about canceled flights and no signal, but I had a bar or two on my phone, so I called Caleb, because who else was gonna drag their ass out here to save me, right? "Caleb, get over here, I'm stuck, the storm's a bitch, and I'm not hiking through this crap with my belly like this," I snapped into the phone, and he sighed that heavy sigh he does, like I'm the biggest inconvenience ever, "Ava, it's pouring here too, roads are flooded, but fine, I'm coming, just stay put," and I laughed, "Stay put? Where am I gonna go, dance in the rain? Hurry up, or I'll start walking and blame you if I slip and lose the kid." He muttered something like "Jesus, Ava," but he hung u

Chapter 55

~AvaHe carried me in and buckled me. I was clutching my belly, tears mixing with rain on my face, "The baby, Caleb, if it's gone, it's your fault, all this stress from you and Liv," and he glanced over, scared, "My fault? You fell fighting over a phone!" but his voice cracked, "Just hold on, please," speeding down the slick road, me moaning, and we made it to the ER somehow, him carrying me in, yelling for help, nurses rushing, wheeling me back, and I grabbed his hand, "Don't leave, or I'll tell them you pushed me," because yeah he did, "I'm here, Ava."In the exam room, doctor poking and scanning, me lying there, heart racing, thinking this is it, I fucked up, but it had to be his fault right? "Minor complication, some spotting, but the fetus is stable for now," and Caleb sagged in relief, but then the doc looked at me stern, "But Miss Oliava, your bloodwork shows traces of those supplements you're taking, the ones for 'glow'? Are you taking the glowy skin glutathione pills? And it

Chapter 56

~Caleb~I woke up to Ava already out of bed, which was weird because usually she’d cling like a koala till noon, especially after the hospital scare, but nope, there she was in the kitchen, phone in one hand, coffee mug in the other decaf, thank fuck yelling at someone on speaker. “No, listen, the glow’s still there, just… pregnancy glow now, okay? Book me the Thursday slot, I’m coming in, tell them to deal with the bump.” She hung up, spun around, saw me in the doorway rubbing sleep out of my eyes, and grinned like she hadn’t almost bled out two days ago. “Morning. I’m going back to work. Shoot’s Thursday. Don’t even start with the rest bullshit.” but genuinely I didn't give a fuck if she decided to rest or not. I groaned, leaned on the counter. “Ava, doc said no stress, no heavy lifting, no drama. You call running around in heels and fake-smiling for cameras low-stress?” She rolled her eyes so hard I thought they’d get stuck. “Drama’s my brand, Caleb. And heels? Flats now, genius.

Chapter 57

~Caleb~Then came the game Saturday. Big rivalry match. I’m on the sideline, shaking but not from nerves, from lack of sleep after Ava kept me up arguing about whether I’d “liked” some girl’s story on Instagram three months ago. Half-time we’re down 2-0, locker room’s tense, I’m trying to fire them up, “Come on, we’ve got this, play hard, play smart… ” and my phone buzzed in my pocket. I ignored it. Buzz again. Ignore. Third time I glanced a text from Ava: “Where are you? I’m at the field. Come say hi during break or I’ll walk onto the pitch and make a scene. Xoxo.” Heart emoji. Threat emoji, more like.I told my coach about it and he hissed letting me go, if I was some basic player and not high class high end player, I wojkd have been let go a while ago I know that for sure. She was there in sunglasses, belly out, crop top tight, waving like a pageant queen. “Babe! You look stressed. Need a pep talk?” Kids staring, parents whispering. I hissed, “Ava, not now. Game’s on.” She pouted.

Chapter 58

~Liv~Rowan and I were lounging on our fake-ass honeymoon beach setup, you know, the kind where we pretended the hotel was paradise but really it's just overpriced drinks and sand that sticks everywhere, and I was half-asleep with my phone buzzing like an angry bee on the table next to me, thinking oh great, Ava again, probably to whine about Caleb or some shoot gone wrong, or maybe one of the girls checking if I'm still faking marital bliss, but I picked up anyway, swiping accept without looking, "What now, Ava? Another my bread is too buttery my hudband is too sweet crisis?" and then this voice exploded through the speaker, shrill and pissed, "Olivia! How dare you! I know about you and Caleb, don't you know your sister is pregnant? Are your trying to kill her? Are you trying to kill me first grandchild?" and I sat up straight, heart dropping like a rock because shit, it was Mom, Mom who never calls unless it's to bitch about Dad or remind me I'm the disappointment twin, and I stamme

Chapter 59

Liv Mom jumped in, "Olivia, why are you like this? Your twin sister's pregnant, and you're mocking?" and Dad nodded, "Never helpful, Liv, couldn't be a model like Ava, not smart enough for college like we wanted, can't even be a mom yet, and now ruining our first grandkid?" that hit like a slap already, but I fired back, "Ruining? How? By breathing? Caleb, tell them you're over me," and he nodded, "I am, swear, it's Ava who won't drop it, brings you up every fight," Ava screamed, "Because you pine for her! Admit it!" Caleb yelled back, "I don't! Jesus, Ava, stop!" and it was chaos, everyone talking over each other, Mom, "Quiet, both of you!" Dad, "Liv, apologize!" me, "Apologize for what? Existing?" Rowan trying, "Hey, maybe calm…. " but Ava interrupted, standing up wobbly, "If you don't all side with me, if Liv doesn't back off forever, I'll kill the baby! Take pills, punch my gut, whatever!" and silence hit, then I laughed dark, "Do it then, kill the baby, nobody gives a fuck, save

Chapter 60

~Liv~My phone kept buzzing like a pissed-off bee in my pocket, Mia's name flashing over and over, then Zoe's popping up right after, like they were tag-teaming me in some annoying relay race, but I just stared at the screen each time, thumb hovering, not ready to deal with their pity or questions or whatever bullshit sympathy they'd throw my way after that family explosion. I was still curled up in the back of that cab, the driver glancing back every few minutes like he thought I might throw up or something, and honestly, with how my stomach was twisting from the sobs and the slap still throbbing on my cheek, it wasn't out of the question. The cab had dropped me off at this random hotel on the outskirts, some dingy place with a flickering neon sign that said "Vacancy" like it was trying too hard, and I'd realized too late I didn't grab my purse, no wallet, no cards, just my phone and whatever lint was in my jeans pockets, so there I was, stranded, sitting on the curb with my knees pu
