Three Fated Hearts by LNC

It doesn’t take me long to get home. Dad isn’t here, and I’m not sure where Aida is. I search the living room and kitchen, but she isn’t there. I head upstairs to see if she’s in her room, and I find her door locked. We don’t usually lock our doors. Being twins, we don’t hide much of anything from each other.

I knock on the door, but there is no answer. I wait a bit and put my ear to the door to see if I can hear anything. I hear what I think is some shuffling, so I knock on the door again.

Lincoln had that talk, you’ve been different. You came home crying your eyes out, and then you have just been…..gone. Now it’s like you don’t care what happens, but I find that hard to believe. You are the same person who has been hopelessly in love with Lincoln for years. I don’t believe that you all of a sudden no longer care.” Aida looks at me but says nothing. I can’t even feel her through our bond. It’s as if she has shut it down on her end because nothing is coming out. I sigh and take a step back. “Whatever, Aida. I don’t know what’s going on with you, but when you

and I’ve been the same. Both of us are terrified that Tia will take off or that she will request to leave and not come back. Neither scenario is one that we want to come to fruition. If we could just sit down and talk, I think we could find

with a tone of finality. I look at Landon, who is looking at me. “You two should sit.” I can feel my knees getting weak, but taking a seat is the last thing I want to do. “I can’t do this. I have to worry about my sisters, father, Luna Kimberly, and now this Jenna character is here to try to
