JamesDon’t freak out, okay?
JamesI need you to sneak out your back door, and meet me in the woods
JamesI’ll be there in 5 mins
JamesDon’t talk to anyone.
JamesI’ll be wearing a BLUE hat
JamesIf I’m not - DO NOT talk to me
KateI don’t understand
JamesJUST DO IT
JamesI’ll explain later
KateThis isn’t funny, James
Kate
KateI can see you standing there in my driveway!
JamesThat isn’t me
KateJames, stop messing with me
KateIt looks exactly like you
JamesIt’s NOT me
JamesGet out of the house, NOW
KateI’m not just going to do what you say
KateNot until you tell me what’s up
JamesBABE, THIS IS NOT A JOKE
KateYou have 3 seconds to tell me what’s going on
KateOr I’m staying here tonight and turning off my phone
JamesI can’t believe you -- you need to GO.
Kate1…
JamesIt’s for your own safety
Kate2…
JamesFINE! If I tell you will you go?
KateYes.
JamesYou won’t like it
KateTry me
JamesOkay. You know how my mom left?
KateYeah…
JamesThere’s more to that story
KateWhat??
KateYou’ve been lying to me this whole time??
JamesYou said you’d hear me out
KateFine.
JamesMy mom DID leave
Kate??
JamesYou’re gonna hate me
KateI love you. I won’t.
KatePlus, this guy outside is really starting to freak me out
KateSo tell me quickly so I can go
JamesOkay.
JamesThis is who's in your driveway:
James
KateWhat?!
JamesWhen my mom left, she took my brother with her.
KateA brother??
KateI thought you were an only child before your dad married your stepmom??
JamesNot really…my brother’s name is Trevor
JamesAnd we’re twins
JamesMy parents couldn’t agree, so mom took Trev and dad took me
JamesBabe?
JamesAre you there?
JamesI’m freaking out -- did something happen to you?
KateI’m here.
KateBut ugh, James, how do you expect me to react??
KateYou’ve had an identical twin brother this whole time and never told me??
KateYou know I hate liars
JamesI know
JamesI’m sorry I kept it from you, but it was too hard for me to talk about
KateI’ve told you about tons of hard shit
KateI thought we had this stuff in common
KateI even convinced myself that the crap I went through was worth it because it brought us together
KateDammit, I told you everything. You know me…inside and out.
JamesI know -- I never meant to hurt you
JamesLook, my mom has a drinking problem
JamesThat’s why my parents divorced
JamesI’ve had a tough time dealing with it
KateYou know my dad has problems, too…
JamesI know
JamesBut it’s different for my family
JamesI got to live a normal life with dad, but life sucked for Trev
JamesAnd I couldn’t do anything to change it. I felt hopeless.
KateI understand that feeling
KateYou could have told me
JamesI know. I’m sorry.
JamesI hadn’t even talked to Trev until a few weeks ago
JamesHe started sending me texts
JamesThey were weird
KateWell, he must be a weirdo if he pretended to be you!
JamesWe used to do that when we were kids
JamesWe’d always switch places -- it was a prank we liked to play
KateThis is different. He kissed me!!
KateUgh, I kissed your brother! I feel so gross 🤢
KateOkay, I can’t think about that right now
KateCan you just text Trevor to make him stop??
KateHe’s banging on my front door
KateIt’s freaking me out…I feel like he’s gonna break it down with his fists
KateOhmigosh! What if he gets inside the house??
JamesKate, relax
JamesI’ve texted him, but he hasn’t answered me
JamesAnd I’m on my way
KateWell, hurry!
KateHe had something in his hand...
Kate
KateHe's hiding it in his pocket...
JamesRUN!
JamesI told you everything! It’s time to go!
KateI’m scared, James…
KateWTF!
Kate
KateHe just threw a rock through my front window
KateWTF WTF WTF
JamesStay calm
KateHow can I stay calm when your weird twin is trying to kill me??!
JamesHe doesn’t want to kill you
JamesIt’s me he wants
KateWhat does that even mean??
JamesHe’s messing with you -- it’s his way of messing with me
JamesSo please
JamesI want you to sneak out the sliding door to your patio
JamesAs soon as you’re out, RUN into the woods and wait there for me
KateThere’s no way I’m going into the woods at night alone
KateShit! I think he’s trying to climb through the broken window!!
JamesYou need to do what I say and run
KateUgh!
JamesDO IT!
KateI think I have an idea…
JamesDon’t do anything stupid
KateI’m going to pretend you didn’t just assume I’d do something stupid
JamesSorry
JamesI just don’t want to lose you
JamesI’ve lost enough people in my life
KateIt’s fine
KateAnyway, I’m going to set off my dad’s car alarm
KateThe noise will distract Trevor
JamesDoesn’t your dad keep the keys all the way up in his room?
KateI can make it. I used to run track.
JamesKate, DON’T!
JamesKate?
KateToo late, I did it…And it’s totally working!
KateHe’s running into the street
KateJames??
KateJames, are you close?? I’m headed out the back door
KateBut I’m not going into those woods without you
JamesI had to go back to my house to get something
KateWhat??!
KateWhat could you possibly need right now??
KateWhat’s more important than me??
James[image::double-5.jpg]
JamesNothing is more important than you.
JamesThat’s why I need my dad’s gun.
