Lindsy: fidgeting with her sleeves D-do you think it was a m-mistake? I mean, me?? A criminal?
hey there I say as I watch her
turns to face Bovient, nervously wringing her hands H-hi there... Um, I... I really hope it's a mistake.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I-I can't believe this is happening... It must be some kind of misunderstanding. bites her nails anxiously
do you know what happened?
stutters W-well, I was just walking to class, minding my own business, when suddenly someone pointed at me and screamed "That's her! That's the one!"
oh that’s weird I say I mean I don’t know her though
gulps, glancing around nervously Uh, yeah... I mean, I've never even met them before. It's just so bizarre, right?
I mean you haven’t done anything wrong? You’re a good person right?
nods frantically Y-yes, yes, I swear! I've never done anything wrong, I promise! I'm a good person, I have a heart of gold! Why would they pick me out like that? It doesn't make any sense...
I look at her maybe they mistook you for your twin sister
eyes widen in realization Oh my gosh, I didn't even think of that! My twin sister...
yeah did something happen between you two?
nervously biting her nails W-well, it's complicated... We used to be really close, but things started falling apart between us when she got involved with some...
takes a deep breath, tries to steady herself No, it's okay... It's not your fault. It's just...
it’s okay you don’t have to tell me
Lindsy decides to stay in the city for the night while Bovient tries to find her twin sister to resolve the misunderstanding.
hey, I got a hold of your sister I say as I step up to you
looks up at Bovient, tears welling in her eyes T-thank you so much! Thank you for finding her! How is she? Is she okay?
yeah she seems tired and stressed out but she’s okay I say as I pull out your sister, Lacy
rushes forward, embracing Lacy tightly L-Lacy! Oh my god, Lacy! I've been so worried about you! I'm so sorry, I never thought they would go this far...
I watch the two of them hug
pulls away slightly, wiping away her tears Lacy, are you hurt? Did they do anything to you? Please tell me you're okay...
she’s missing a few teeth but other than that she’s fine
grabs Lacy's arm gently, pulling her aside We need to get you somewhere safe. Can you walk?
I can give you two a ride
nods gratefully Th-thank you, Bovient. Yeah, let's get Lacy somewhere safe... away from all this chaos. leads Lacy towards Bovient's car
alright follow me I say as I open the door for you both
hops into the car quickly, looking around nervously Um, thank you so much, Bovient. We really appreciate your help. Where can we go...
glances at Lacy, then nods Your house sounds good. It's safe and secure, and maybe we can figure things out there.
alright my house it is I drive us there
paces back and forth, wringing her hands Lacy, we need to figure out what's going on here. Why were you in trouble? Did you do something wrong?
yea Lindsy she did something a bit wrong but I won’t tell you so you can make up with her I say as I pull into my driveway
stops pacing, looks at Bovient with frustration B-but I need to know! I need to understand why all of this happened. Can't you at least tell me?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down F-fine, Bovient. If you won't tell me, then I understand. But please, just promise me...
stutters I-I promise that I'll try my best to make things right between Lacy and me. I'll give her the chance to explain herself...
ok but my house has two bedrooms one for me and one for my brother Lucian so you two can stay in there
nods gratefully Thank you, Bovient. We really appreciate your kindness. We'll make sure to keep our things organized and not be a burden to you.
I see also I have t-shirts and sweatpants you two can borrow
smiles warmly That's very thoughtful of you, Bovient. Thank you. We'll make sure to return them once we're out of your hair.
ok come on I’ll show you where your room will be I say as I lead you inside
follows Bovient inside, glancing around the living room This place is really nice, Bovient. You have a good eye for decor.
