Chapter Text
Lena stopped her motorbike in front of the house she was born. She’d never truly seen it as home, her home in Beacon Hills was located in the woods. Before she’d gone to France she’d spent more time there than here.
She had a twin here, but she preferred her twin in the woods. She had a mother and father here, but preferred her mom and dad in the woods.
In the woods, she had a family. Here, she had not.
“Lena!” A strawberry blonde girl opened the door and approached her.
“Hello, Lydia,” she remained seated on her bike.
“Nice ride.” Her sister smiled at her. “Are you getting off?”
“No, I was just passing by. I have to be home soon.”
“But you are home”, Lydia had never understood Lena’s love for the house in the woods, or the distance between her and their parents. She’d also never gone with.
“Not mine.” Lena rumbled through her backpack and took a small bracelet out. “You look great, Lydia. Here, this is for you. Aunt Chen asked me to give it to you.”
“Thanks…” Lydia’d never met their aunt, their parents had made sure of that, so she was kinda surprised. “Thank her for me, will you?
“Sure.”
The door to the house opened again and Lena grabbed her keys, she did not want to see her ‘parents’. She didn’t see them as her parents anymore but nonetheless
It wasn’t one of them that came outside but a brown haired girl, a friend of Lydia she assumed. A very familiar friend.
“Hey, Lydia, what’s”-”Allison!?”
Lena’s mouth fell open in shock as did Allison’s. Lydia looked from her twin to her best friend and back.
“You know each other?” She’d had enough of the silence going on between the 3 of them.
“Yeah, we met a few years ago in France. She went to my school, we were friends.” she smiled at her ever traveling friend.
“How do you 2 know each other?” Allison had a curious light in her eyes. “Annecy and Beacon Hills aren’t exactly close.”
“We’re twins, only Lena lived with our aunt for a few years.”
“Why?”
“...” Lydia squinted her eyes. “I… don’t know. Why did you go to aunt Chenelle?”
“How about you ask Nathalie and Gregg.” Lena started her motorcycle, annoyed at her ‘sister’. “I have to go.”
“Wait!” Allison stepped forward. “Maybe we could catch up later? Dinner at my place tomorrow? I’ll text you the address.”
“Sure”, a small smile replaced the annoyance. “Same number as before.”
After that she left. She smiled at the thought of being friends with Allison again.
