twenty three
"R-roni," she gasped, "it was Ethan. All this time. He was the one stalking me, he kidnapped me, beat me up and threatened my family and my friends. He even lied about kidnapping gray when their father-"
"I know, Nessa. We'll talk about this at home, okay?"
She nodded, wiped her tears and drove home.

~Earlier~
We looked through the window only to see Ethan in a kind of dark room.
All we could see was pictures of Vanessa on every walls, pictures of her walking in the street, some were with Grayson.
Pictures of her in her bathroom.
Pictures that only a stalker would have.
There were sticky notes next to each picture with the date, the time and some random words I couldn't read.
A computer was set on the table and we could see it was connected with cameras.
More specifically, those cameras were in Vanessa's and Grayson's house.
That's how he always knew what Vanessa was up to.
How he knew where she was, where she was going, what she was doing.
Some pictures were a close up of Vanessa sleeping, or worse, making love with Grayson.
Psycho stalker.
~ Now ~
I tried my best to stay calm, we don't need two people losing their mind.
We reached Vanessa's house and when we came in, Grayson was on the couch watching some random channel.
"Your brother is a psycho!" She yelled as she ran to Grayson. "He's a disgu-"
"Ness- hey Nessa stop! Breathe, tell me what happened." He asked, confused.
"It's Ethan! The stalker!"
"W-what? This is probably a mistake, Ethan would never-"
"For god's sake Gray! I saw it too!" I said, "I thought he was cheating on me so we followed him. Never would I have thought he was Nessa's stalker."
"T-this can't be" Grayson said, shocked.
"I'll let you two talk, okay? I'll go home."
"But, Roni, you live with Ethan!" Vanessa said and I stopped in my tracks.
I sighed, because she was right. I nodded and made my way the guest room, which became my room.
I sighed once more when I let myself fall on the mattress of my bed.
I'm confused. One question remained in my mind.
Why?

THIRD PERSON POV
"I can't deal with this, gray! I can't, okay?!"
"Wait Nessa, calm down, breathe."
"How do I calm down? He's a freaking stalker. He's the one who threatened me, kidnapped me, beat me, he followed my every move for god's sake!"
Grayson didn't say anything. Maybe he didn't know what to say. She didn't either.
After a minutes, she finally said,
"You have to choose Grayson."
"Uh?" He asked, confused.
"It's me, or it's him," she asked, tears in her eyes, "I won't stay here knowing he's somewhere watching me, he put fucking cameras in our house! I won't allow him here, near my baby!"
"B-but Vanessa! You can't ask me to choose between my wife and my twin brother!"
"You're right," she smiled, painfully, "I can't." and she left the house.
She wiped her tears away before new ones replaced them, as she tried to focus on the road. She didn't know where she was going, but anywhere would be better than her own house.

She was shaking uncontrollably and sobbing violently. She knew she should pull over and wait until she calmed down. But she didn't.
And as she once more wiped her tears of her eyes, she didn't see the car coming in front of her. She didn't realise until it was too late. She heard a loud crash, before she heard nothing. At all.
