A Girl Nobody Wanted

Andrew Patterson's POV

He was ready to talk, and I need answers.

“I don't understand what you talk about. As far as I know, she is an innocent girl with a kind heart..” I said.

“Maybe she is like that to other people. But for me, it is not like that. She ruined my entire childhood. I had to suffer a lot because of her” he replied. I could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

“Why you had to suffer because of her?" I asked again.

“She was so bright since kindergarten. She could understand everything pretty fast. She became first always. Teachers loved her so much... She was their favorite student...” he said.

Well, it seems like his hostility towards his sister is because of jealousy... But I need him to tell it in his own words...

“She is a bright student even now. All the lecturers personally know her, and they all appreciate her very much. But I don know how it ruined your life,"

“I was completely the opposite of her... I was so weak at studies... No matter how hard my teachers tried, it was not easy t make me lear something. So, they always compared me to her and scold at me. They all humiliated me... Not just the teachers, even students humiliated me. Teachers said they can't even understand how that smart Sarah got a dumb twin like me... My life was so miserable. I didn't feel like going to school at all. So, I got weak at studies even more..This was th story until I started doing sports and built up my reputation as a good sportsman..."

“How did she act when everyone humiliated you?” I asked. Because I strongly believed even as a kid Sarah would never hurt anyone...

“I can't remember.” he replied, avoiding my eyes...

“You can’t remember or you don’t want to remember? She has never humiliated you. Am I right?” I asked.

“Yeah... She didn't make fun out of me... Sometimes she even stood up for me... But all those happened just because of her..” he said after a pause.

For a little kid, feeling that way is quite normal. Kids can't think deeply, and they don't try to understand things. So, his hatred towards his sister in their childhood is something acceptable. But holding that grudge over all these years and stil resent your sister for something like that is ridiculous.

“50, you still hate your sister because of that? Don't you think itis childish... You are a famous football player now. Everyone loves you and admires you... You have everything that you didn’t have those days... So, is there any use of hatin your own sister any more?” I asked. Actually, I feel there is something else to this story as well. There is a part that he didn't talk about...

“I hate her not just because of that..There are other reasons too..” he said slowly.

“What are the other reasons?” I asked quickly.

Without saying anything, he was thinking for some time...

At the same time, my phone rang. I picked it up to cut the call, but when I see the caller Id, I couldn't cut it.

It was my dad...

He usually doesn't call me during work hours. So, this might be an emergency. I answered the call.

Just as I thought, it was an emergency, and he wanted me to come home as soon as possible.

I didn’t want to stop my discussion with Shane. Don't know if I can ever get him to talk about this stuff again. But I didn’t have any other option.

After Lilly died, my whole world was my mom...

She was not well all week. According to what my dad told, she is being hospitalized. So, I need to go there...

“shane, I have an emergency that I need to attend to. So, shall we continue our discussion later?” 1 asked.

Without saying anything he nodded, and then he left the room.

I am so sorry my little angel... 1 was so close to finding out why your brother hates you this much... Anyway, I promise you will find answers pretty soon...

I thought, looking at Sarah's smiling face on my phone screen...

Sarah's POV

After the lectures, I went to the cafe... When I come home it was around 7.30. I quickly prepared dinner and did the cleaning...

When I find time to take a wash and go to my room it was around 10 pm.

I took a call to Jake. He was working on our assignment. He insisted that I should sleep because he can complete it alone. But I didn’t want to sleep.

I was indeed exhausted after all the work, but talking with him, and doing something together with him, has some extraordinary power to take away my tiredness...

We both worked together till midnight and we could finish the assignment.

After that, I went to sleep.

I was half asleep when someone knocked on my door.

“Yes. I said, still sleepy.

“It is me...” Shanes voice raised from the outside.

His voice made me ran to the door and open it up for him.

He entered my room without saying anything and sat on my bed.

“You had a session with that Patterson guy, right?” he asked.

“Yes.." I replied in confusion. Why the hell he came to my room at this hour to ask about Mr. Patterson? Has something happened during their session today?

“Did he ask about me?” he asked.

“About you... What you mean by about you?"

“Don’t act dumb, Sarah... Did he ask about me, about your brother?” he yelled at me.

“He asked about my family. But he didn't specifically ask about my brother” 1 said.

“You told him that I am your brother, right?” he then asked, focussing his stare on me.

“What? Nol! I didn’t tell...” I replied quickly.

“Then how the hell he knows that I am your brother.” he again yelled.

“What!!! He knows that..." I said in shock. How he got to know about that. Jake got to know about it because he has searched for information about me. So, did Mr. Patterson also searched for information about my family? If so, why the he he did something like that?

“He fu**ing knows that, and he asked millions of stupid questions from me. If you didn't tell how he knows about itz" “How do I know, Shane? I have no idea. He is so creepy. He asked a lot of unwanted questions from me too.” I said.

“I will report him to the dean if he ever asks any unwanted question from me again..” he said, standing up.

veah... That's what we should do... This must be the most sensible thing he has ever said.

Then he left my room.

I closed the door and sat on the bed thinking.

I don't really know what Mr. Patterson is up to... Day by day there is something new to be afraid of him.

I again went to sleep...

I was in a car with Jake. We were going on some streets, I have never been to before... Mr. Patterson was following us. He was trying to hit our car with a huge truck... We were driving so fast, trying to escape... No matter what way we took, he always managed to find us...

Finally, he was just in front of us and he was driving towards us. We had no way to escape... We are going to die...

“This is it. This is the end.."I heard Jake was saying.

I started to scream... I screamed with all I have...

Then I heard my phone is ringing...

I opened my eyes and look around... I was on my bed safely...

God! Is that a dream or to be specific is it a nightmare? But it felt so real... My whole body was shaking... I was sweating to despite the cold weather...

My phone was still ringing... So, that was not a part of my nightmare...

I picked up my phone and checked the caller Id. It was from Jakett

I felt like my heart stopped for a second... Why is he calling me at this time? Has something happened to him?

With shaking my fingers, I answered the call.

“sarah... Are you alright?” his worried voice raised from the other side.

I don’t know why, but as I heard his voice, I burst into tears...

“sarah... What has happened? Are you okay? Why are you crying?” he was literally screaming.

“I... 1 am alright, Jake... I... Just had a nightmare... Are you... Alright?” I managed to ask.

“I am alright, princess... Why are you crying, if you are alright... Did you get that scared to that nightmare?” he asked soft! “Yes... Jake... It felt so real... Both of us were about to die..” I replied, still crying.

“Oh! Baby!ll Don't cry, please... It is just a nightmare... Remember, if I am with you, I will never let anything happen to you. he said, trying to calm me down.

“I don't care about me, Jake... I am worried about you. I am worried about our relationship... I want to marry you, jake... I want to have babies with you... I want to grow older with you, Jake... I want my whole life to be spent beside you... I was totally out of my mind... If I was in the right senses, I will never have the courage to tell all these things...

He was silent for a few seconds...

Then he talked... His voice was not sound anxious any more...

“Really... You want to marry me, and have babies with me, princess... Do you want a lot of babies... You know, I can give yo any number of babies you want.” he said playfully.

“Why, is it wrong, if I want that.” I asked a bit angrily. I was crying and scared. He is trying to make fun out of me in a situation like that.

“No... No... Princess... That is the best thing I have ever heard in my life..” he replied quickly.

I didn't say anything...

“That is my dream too, Sarah...” he said again.

“Jake, why you call me at this time?” I asked.

“I don't know, princess... I was asleep... I felt like something terrible is going to happen... I didn't even have a nightmare. I don't know why I felt like that. When I woke up, I wanted to call you and check about you.” he said.

“Jake... I also feel that something terrible is going to happen... I am really scared...” I said.

“sarah... Will you be with me, no matter what happens?” he asked.

“Is that even a thing to ask, Jake... Of course, I will be with you... I replied.

“Then don't worry about anything, Sarah... I am doing everything in my capability for us to make our dream come true.” I said.
