Author’s P.o.v

“Please, let me go, please, don’t do it” Gianna said in her sleep.

She kept tossing around the bed,beads of sweat trailed on her forehead.

She was having a nightmare again just like every night.

“PLEASE!!!” She screamed catching the attention of her brother and her mom.

Her brother went closer and hugged her so tight,she was still asleep but scared.

“Don’t do this to me” She said amd started crying while sleeping.

Her mom sat beside her trying to calm her down.

“Gianna, please calm down, it’s just a dream”Her brother said.

“Gigi,no one will hurt you” Her mother said.

Gianna finally calmed down and fell asleep peacefully.

“She’s having those nightmares again” her brother said while caressing Gianna’s cheek.

“I know and am getting so worried”

They both left her room for her to sleep but hoping she doesn’t wake up screaming again.

? Gianna’s P.o.v

?

My alarm sounded so loud making me almost fall out of the bed.

I turned it off and headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up.

After I was done putting on my clothes,I wore a face cap and inserted my contact lens.

I took my bag and started heading downstairs,I stopped when I saw Jamal,my twin brother sneaking a girl out of the house through the back door.

He turned and looked at me giving me the ‘Keep your mouth shut’ sign,I chuckled and went to the kitchen to grab breakfast.

I sat down and grabbed my own plate of pancakes and started eating.

Jamal walked in and sat down in front of me brushing his hair.

“You don’t brush your hair in the kitchen,dummy”I said and he chuckled.

“I wanna look good for the ladies”

Jamal is like the hottest boy in college,girls are always drooling over him which is so annoying.

He’s like the bad boy who also plays basketball ball so everyone adores him.

“You know you should really think about getting rid of those contact lens,your natural grey eyes is so pretty, I don’t know why you hide it” He said and started eating.

“I like it this way,I don’t really want attention to myself, the one I get for being your twin sister is already enough”

“You had those nightmares last night” he said and I sighed.

“I know and am sorry if I woke you and mom up”

“Gigi,you know I care about you a lot and I really want you to get over the past”

“Thanks, little bro”I said and he rolled his blue eyes.

Jamal has blue eyes like our mom and I have grey eyes like our dad but I hide it because I prefer it that way only my family and Ashley,my best friend have seen my eyes.

“Gigi, please don’t tell mom about that girl you saw this morning”

“Hmmm..i don’t know,I havea problem with keeping secrets unless”I said and started smirking.

“Okay,fine,what do you want?”

“You see I saw this really cool jacket at the mall downtown and I want it” I said smiling slyly.

“Okay, fine, just don’t tell mom”

“Tell mom what?” My mom asked as she walked in.

She was dressed up for work, she’s the C.E.O of the company our dad left when he died.

“Um..tell mom that we love her so much,right,Gigi?”

“Yes, that’s what we were talking about”

Our mom looked at us suspiciously then laughed it off.

“Am going to the office, there is more than enough money in the living room for you two today..and Jamal,what were those noises I heard in your room last night,did you bring a girl to our house?”

“Um..no,mom, I would never do that,you know me already”

“I know you, that’s why am asking,so did you?”
