"What!" The boys and I shouted at my mom as we bounced on the couch

"I'm sorry!" My mom exclaimed

"But no!" Yelled Louis

"But why?!" Bellowed Harry

"But-" Niall started

"No buts!" My mom silenced them

I folded my arms over my chest "Mom. No, what if they ruin-" I told her

"They are coming and that's final" My mom said sternly

"I don't want to hear anymore complaining!" She said before walking into the kitchen

I picked up Patches and held him

He whimpered

He didn't want Lucy or Dad to come either I bet

They were coming to visit

Kill me.

Last time they were here it ruined everything

A famous band

The best relationship ever

It ruined our family

Not just my blood family, but my family with the boys too

I just got Niall back, the last thing I want it Lucy to take him away again!

They're arriving tonight!

Niall wrapped his arm around me "Nothing can separate us again, I promise" He whispered

"I love you Niall" I murmured, wrapping my arms around his neck

"I love you too" He rubbed my back

"Group hug guys" Louis said ruining Niall's and my moment

The boys caressed us in a big bear hug

"I love you guys" Louis pretended to sob

"I love you" We all said in unison

"Hey, I say we go to the park! Let's have some fun!" Liam announced

"That sounds great Liam" I smiled

We threw on some sweaters and headed out the door to the park

It was beautiful in the fall time

The leaves were tinted with warm toasty reds, yellows, and oranges

The colours melted together flawlessly

I held Niall's hand as we sat on a bench and watched the boys gather the leaves into piles and then they dove into the piles, sending leaves flying everywhere

It was like watching little children play

I chuckled at Louis, who was having the time of his life throwing leaves at Harry

Suddenly, leaves of every colour covered my body

I turned and saw Zayn and Liam had dunked a pile of leaves on Niall and I

"He told me to do it!" Liam shouted as he ran off and dived into a pile of leaves

I grabbed an arm full of leaves and chased after Zayn

Louis grabbed me from behind causing me to drop my leaves

"Ahahahaa! Louis put me down!" I laughed

He walked me over and dropped me into a huge pile

I landed with a crunch of the leaves being squashed by my bottom

The boys collasped in fits of laughter along with myself

"Oh, I missed this" Niall said sitting up

Liam put his arm around Niall "We missed you mate"

"Oh! Another group hug!" Louis shouted, pretending to cry

We embraced for a good five minutes

I checked my phone

"We better head home now, they arrive at 7 and its 6:48" I told everyone

They groaned

"Let's just go, we can't hide" I sighed

The boys groaned again and got up

"Who wants a piggy back?" Louis asked

Harry hopped onto his back without a word

I laughed

"Piggy back?" Zayn asked

"Don't mind if I do" I said in a English accent

I hopped onto his back and Niall hopped onto Liam's

"Piggy back race!" Louis yelled as he started to run

"Run Zayn!" I yelled as we started running

We ran all the way home, of course Louis and Harry won since they had a really good head start

We opened the door to find two new people sitting on the couch with my mom

The giggles and laughs the boys and I had disappeared into a awkward silence

Lucy and my dad stared at us

Lucy didn't have her usual glare, in fact, she seemed different

Not that her appearance changed but she looked different, if that makes sense

She didn't have that 'mean' and 'evil' feel

She stood up and broke the silence "Claire, could I talk with you?" She asked

I nodded and took off my shoes

I started to walk and Niall followed me

"Alone?" Lucy asked, her gaze flickering to Niall

I looked at Niall who was asking me with his eyes "Are you sure?"

I nodded and he walked back to the boys

I walked into the kitchen with Lucy

She looked at me for a second before speaking

"I am so sorry for everything, all the problems I've caused. I aplogise for everything I caused and I understand you don't want me here but really, give me a second chance please, please I beg you. You're my sister, my twin sister, you're basically my other half and I don't want to lose you. I know I shouldn't have done or said all those terrible things but I didn't want to get close to anyone because I scared. Scared that I would get broken, more than I already am. Or be happy and then wake up and it was all a dream, wil you please find it in your heart to forgive me?" She begged

I studied her face

Tears were forming in her eyes

"Please?" She choked, tears sliding down her cheeks

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, shame on me

I sighed

"Of course, everyone deserves a second chance" I said

"Thank you so much" She cried as she hugged me

I hugged her back as she sniffled

"Dad said he's sorry too" She told me as she pulled away

"I know he is, don't worry" I told her

We walked back into the living room, which was close to silent

"So, um dinner?" My mom spoke up

"Yes! Food!" Niall shouted

We sat down for dinner in silence

"So how was the flight?" Liam said, breaking the worst silence ever

"Very nice, they had a very nice airplane" My dad said

I watched as his gaze flickered to Niall

I could see the guilt in his eyes

Niall didn't notice my dad saring at him because he was too busy eating

"Is there something wrong?" I asked my dad with a coldness to my tone

"No, nothing at all" He sighed, and continued to eat

We ate in silence until everyone had finished their plate

I started to collect dishes when my dad stopped me

"I'll do it, go have fun with your friends" He smiled

"Thanks, dad" I said, it felt weird calling him dad
