Victoria's p.o.v
I have not heard from Lincoln for a week now. I have no idea what is going on. We only went to his house the night we met, and I do not remember where it is, so I can't drive there to see if he is okay. I asked Vanna if she can ask his sister what is going on, but she said that his sister said she didn't want to involve herself in her brother's personal life. So I am clueless here. Work has sucked. Not in the classroom, more with the administrators. People have been acting weird towards me. The kids loved my lesson plan, and Amy tried to put in a good word for me, but all the principal said was that he is working on it and that he is really trying to get me the position, but that it isn't just up to him. I know what that means and it is probably why I have been getting treated differently by my coworkers.
Today is Sunday and it is Anthony's birthday and there is a party at the club house so I have to make it. Everyone will be there and it will help me get my mind off things. Eric has been texting me and demanding I go on a date with Nathaniel. When I said I wasn't interested, he texted back saying that we all have to do things we don't want to do, but that I need to see this as a blessing, that Nathaniel can get me far in life and that I need to get over the little attack. It was just a little blood, Tori. It didn't k!ll you. He said. I haven't answered him after that. I can't believe that I came from this man. My own father. He saw me after the attack. He saw me when my whole face was bruised and swollen. How can he say this to me? It doesn't even matter anymore though. I think it is about time I cut him out of my life. I think I have allowed him to be a part of my life for so long because of Valeria. God she loves him so much and I have no idea why. He has let us down so much. Vanna comes over and talks my ear off, telling me how amazing Lincoln's sister is. If she is anything like him, I am sure she is amazing. "Has she talked about him?" I ask her, but she shakes her head. We get ready. I know club girls and people from other clubs will be there, so we make sure to get extra s3xy and then we head out.
Lincoln's p.o.v
This past week has been h3ll whenever I come to the clubhouse. I have to watch those two suck their faces off. Today it is Ant's birthday and I was helping Monster with some paperwork when they walked in. "Is Silver coming?" Monster asks. "Yes," Victoria says and walks away. She didn't even bother to look at me. She is acting like she doesn't know me. Guess she can't give anything away to her husband and father. It bugs me so much that I want to tell her husband everything just so she can lose everything and maybe feel an ounce of what I feel right now, but then again, this is Monster's daughter and I just don't need the drama. "Lets get the party started" Monster says, getting up. I get up and follow him out. In the hallway I catch them making out. "Why don't you get a room, or better yet, go home." he tells them and shakes his head. "Oh come on, not like you and mom ever go home or to a room," she tells him and he laughs. I walk outside, not wanting to even hear her voice. Even that seems different about her. She seems like a completely different person to me. They walk out, get in a car and leave. "You okay?" Dani asks, walking up to me. "I''m fine." I say. She knows me though. I am not fine. I am pissed off. How does the same thing happen to me twice? It sucks not being someone's first and only choice. We go inside and get some drinks. "Lets go outside, I want to make a phone call. Someone saw dad and I need to confirm," Danny says, and we go outside.
"My girl is here" she says, pointing at a car. It is dark now, so I can't see her until she gets close up, but she is with someone else. They get up close and I sigh. She is back, now with Dani's girl. Where is her husband? She looks at me and smiles brightly and my stomach hurts. How could I ever think she was perfect? This female is the devil herself. "Lincoln, hi. Where have you been? Why aren't you answering my calls?" she asks me. Dani looks at me and shrugs "Are you on drugs?" I ask her and she frowns. "No. I don't do drugs." she tells me. "What the h3ll is your problem huh? Lying isn't enough? Where is he? You left him somewhere to come and try to f*ck around with me?" I ask her. "What are you talking about?" she asks me. "Stop acting stup!d. You lied to me. You have a husband and a daughter. Everything was a lie. I know your name isn't Victoria." I tell her. "You are just like every other female. A damn liar and a wh0re. All you females are disgusting and love to get f*cked by any d!ck I see." she laughs. She has the audacity to laugh in my face. "Lincoln, no, you are mistaking me for..." she tries to say, but I know she just wants to convince me otherwise, but I know what I saw. "shut it okay. I know the truth. I already blocked you and I never want to speak to you ever again." I tell her. "Wait, you are confused. Let me explain." she says, but I shake my head. "F*ck off," I say, and walk away and get on my bike. Dani comes up behind me. "Please be calm and careful. I'll be home in a bit." she says. I nod and take off. How dare she try to come here and talk to me like nothing ever happened.
Victoria's p.o.v
I watch Lincoln take off on his motorcycle. I am crushed at the fact that he, just like everyone else, confused me for my sister. It is happening again, yet this hurts more than Nathaniel almost k!lling me. "Want me to talk to Daniela so she can talk to him?" Vanna asks me, but I shake my head. "No. You heard him, he doesn't want me to talk to him ever again, so I will give him that. It is what it is." I say. "But, he is confusing you for Valeria. He's an !diot. He should have let you speak." she says, shaking her head. "Yeah, well that's his problem. I have a headache. Please don't say anything. I want to see his face when he realizes there's two of us. We are twins, not the same person. Dude, do we even look the same?" I ask Vanna. "I think to other people you do. I mean you are identical. People who have known you forever can spot the difference, plus, your hair, but I can see how he and Dani think you are the same person. Damn id!ots. Just for that, she will have to eat me out tonight." she says and gets a small laugh out of me. "I'm going home. Give this to Ant. Tell my family I wasn't feeling well." I tell my cousin. "Take my car. I will catch a ride and pick it up tomorrow. Don't worry. Everything will work itself out. He will feel silly when he figures it out." she tells me and hugs me. I get in the car and go home, feeling sad.
Another week has passed and I have stayed away from the clubhouse, not that I would visit often before, but I don't want to see him. I am a little upset that he confused me with my sister. Everything bad that happens to me is a result of that. Dad has been calling me and I have been ignoring him. I don't want to see Lincoln. The way he spoke to me really hurt me. He had been so sweet to me before. He didn't even give me a chance to explain things to him, so whatever. "Miss Victoria. Someone is here to see you." Amy tells me. I turn around and the Mayor's wife is standing at the door of our classroom. I thank Amy and walk outside. " Victoria. Have you thought about my proposal? Another teacher applied for the position and it is up to you as to who gets it," she says. I stay quiet. This is not fair. "I can't date your son. He attacked me." I say, but she cuts me off. "He didn't attack you. He mistook you for your sister. It was an accident." she tells me. "It was intentional. Even though he attacked me because he confused me, he was actually looking to harm my sister and he wasn't trying to do it on accident." I tell her, feeling angry. "Victoria. This happened 6 years ago, it's time you get over it." she tells me. "I had to get surgery on my face and I am partially blind in my left eye because of the attack." I tell her. She looks at me like if it is the first time she is hearing this, but she doesn't say anything. "Let him make things right. He wants to date you. Even if you are blind, you can't tell. You are really pretty dear. He can marry you and fix everything. It would have been nice if your sister wouldn't have been a wh0re so young, she would be the perfect option for my son, but I guess you aren't bad. You both look the same anyways. You come from a powerful family and it would be good for both families to become one." she says, but I shake my head. "No" I say. "Pack your bags then, get out. You no longer have a job here, unless you change your mind," she tells me. "This isn't fair. I work hard and my job has nothing to do with your son." I say. "I will walk you to get your things," she says. "I am in the middle of class and I will not leave. You are not my boss. Mr. Robertson will have to fire me." I say and walk back into class.
A couple of minutes later, there is a knock on the door and Mr. Robertson walks in, followed by the mayor's wife and now the mayor, dad and even Nathaniel have joined. Don't they ever work? How are they just always around randomly? "Miss Victoria, please pack your bags and come with me." the principal says, and I can't believe this is happening to me. "Why?" I ask. "You are fired." he tells me. "Why am I being fired? I haven't done anything wrong." I say. "Please just come with me. Lets not cause a scene." he says. I notice some of the kids getting upset, so I nod and go grab my things. Amy walks behind me. "What's going on?" she asks. "They are upset because I won't date their son, so she promised to get me fired. I can't believe they have so much power here." I whisper to her as I grab my things. "Call me later," I say and walk out of the back door. I don't want to talk to them. "Victoria, Victoria" I hear them shout, but I walk quickly to the faculty parking lot. I get in my car and drive home.
My phone rings and rings. I have been lying here in bed for days. I have been sick. I have been throwing up and have a headache that won't go away. I just want to sleep. I feel so tired. I think I am getting depressed. I don't have the only person who seemed to understand me or want to talk to me because he thinks I am my sister and that I lied about who I am and now I have no job. I grab my phone and call my twin to come over. She opens the door with her set of keys and comes gets into bed with me while I cry. "what's wrong?" she asks. I tell her what happened and she is so upset for me. I don't mention Lincoln. No-one needs to know that. It is embarrassing enough. Everything bad that has happened to me includes someone mistaking me for my twin sister. It sucks and I know she always felt bad after my attack. I don't want her to feel bad all over again. I know she worked hard to get over it all as well." We need to hold a riot" she says and I laugh at how dumb she is. "Lets go out tonight to get your mind off this bulls!t. The girls and I are going to a bar." she says. "Okay. come, lets go to my house to get ready. We are all meeting there." she says. I climb out of bed, grab a bag of things and we head over to her house. I go shower then we start getting ready when her friend who I am not a fan of walks in."Hey Val." she says and completely ignores me. "Hey Karol," Val tells her friend. "Want some wine?" she asks us, but I shake my head as I am trying to get my wing liner on straight. "urgh, I think I want to get a nose job. Look how ugly my nose is. You, was your nose doctor a good one?" she asks me and I cringe. I hate talking about my attack and what happened after. She is always bringing it up though. "Yes, if you want the info, mom can get it for you." I tell her. I notice Anthony scowling. He hates her. He once told Val and I that she is always hitting on him, but Valeria just told him that he should be flattered that women want him. My sister can be dumb a lot of the time. "Speaking of your nose job, have you guys seen how hot Nathaniel is? He is single too. I wouldn't mind taking a ride on that pole," she says and laughs. I grab my phone and text Vanna to come save me. I am not going to be stuck all night with this female. I have no idea why Valeria hangs out with her. She is a slu+ who just wants to sleep with everyone, including her husband and my sister doesn't see it. "Hey, Vanna needs me to go help her. It's an emergency" I say, and begin to pick up my things. "What? We were supposed to have a girl's night though. I miss you and haven't seen you in so long." Valeria tells me. "yeah, maybe next time." I say and hug her. "I'll take you home." Ant tells me. "Ooohhh, be careful Valeria. Looks like your twin is trying to push up on your husband." she says. " Excuse me?" I say. No this female did not just say that. "You heard me." she says. "I did hear you. It's too bad we are not all like you. Anthony. It's okay. I will find my own way home. I don't need false rumours being spread." I say, and walk out. Luckily, Runner is here and he doesn't mind taking me home. Vanna shows up a bit later. "I hate that b!tch" she says when I tell her what happened at my sister's house.
I tell Vanna how Val didn't even bother to say anything when her friend was being rude. "Help me change my house locks." I say out of nowhere. "Why?" she asks me. "My family all have keys to my house and I don't want them to anymore. I'm mad at Valeria right now. I don't know why she is friends with that female and I just don't feel good. I am angry. I haven't been meeting with my therapist. She went on a month-long vacation and will barely return this week. Everything just piled up on me. I think my period will be here soon because I am just feeling off. Now I have no job. Maybe I should move back to California," I say. She helps me change the locks and we order some food. She tries her best to convince me not to move. "We should look into opening a school ourselves. I have my degree too. I am sure our parents would help us make it happen. You work so hard Tori, you deserve this." she says, and I think it over. That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I will bring it up to dad. She sleeps over, but when I wake up in the morning she is already gone. I hang out with myself and decide that I want to take a little trip somewhere to clear my mind. When I return I will speak to my parents about everything. Hopefully, I can also kick whatever bug I have, because I am tired of feeling sick and tired and I'm so done with the vomiting.
