Kate
I had fun tonight š
James
What are you talking about?
Kate
Iām so glad you finally met the ladies from my sĆ©ance group
James
What? Iāve been home all night.
Kate
James, I literally just saw you
James
What was I wearing?
Kate
Idk, a red hoodieā¦
James
Donāt freak out, okay?
James
I need you to sneak out your back door, and meet me in the woods
James
Iāll be there in 5 mins
James
Donāt talk to anyone.
James
Iāll be wearing a BLUE hat
James
If Iām not - DO NOT talk to me
Kate
I donāt understand
James
Iāll explain later
Kate
This isnāt funny, James
Kate
I can see you standing there in my driveway!
Kate
James, stop messing with me
Kate
It looks exactly like you
James
Get out of the house, NOW
Kate
Iām not just going to do what you say
Kate
Not until you tell me whatās up
James
BABE, THIS IS NOT A JOKE
Kate
You have 3 seconds to tell me whatās going on
Kate
Or Iām staying here tonight and turning off my phone
James
I canāt believe you -- you need to GO.
James
Itās for your own safety
James
FINE! If I tell you will you go?
James
You wonāt like it
James
Okay. You know how my mom left?
James
Thereās more to that story
Kate
Youāve been lying to me this whole time??
James
You said youād hear me out
James
Youāre gonna hate me
Kate
I love you. I wonāt.
Kate
Plus, this guy outside is really starting to freak me out
Kate
So tell me quickly so I can go
James
This is who's in your driveway:
James
When my mom left, she took my brother with her.
Kate
I thought you were an only child before your dad married your stepmom??
James
Not reallyā¦my brotherās name is Trevor
James
My parents couldnāt agree, so mom took Trev and dad took me
James
Iām freaking out -- did something happen to you?
Kate
But ugh, James, how do you expect me to react??
Kate
Youāve had an identical twin brother this whole time and never told me??
Kate
You know I hate liars
James
Iām sorry I kept it from you, but it was too hard for me to talk about
Kate
Iāve told you about tons of hard shit
Kate
I thought we had this stuff in common
Kate
I even convinced myself that the crap I went through was worth it because it brought us together
Kate
Dammit, I told you everything. You know meā¦inside and out.
James
I know -- I never meant to hurt you
James
Look, my mom has a drinking problem
James
Thatās why my parents divorced
James
Iāve had a tough time dealing with it
Kate
You know my dad has problems, tooā¦
James
But itās different for my family
James
I got to live a normal life with dad, but life sucked for Trev
James
And I couldnāt do anything to change it. I felt hopeless.
Kate
I understand that feeling
Kate
You could have told me
James
I know. Iām sorry.
James
I hadnāt even talked to Trev until a few weeks ago
James
He started sending me texts
Kate
Well, he must be a weirdo if he pretended to be you!
James
We used to do that when we were kids
James
Weād always switch places -- it was a prank we liked to play
Kate
This is different. He kissed me!!
Kate
Ugh, I kissed your brother! I feel so gross š¤¢
Kate
Okay, I canāt think about that right now
Kate
Can you just text Trevor to make him stop??
Kate
Heās banging on my front door
Kate
Itās freaking me outā¦I feel like heās gonna break it down with his fists
Kate
Ohmigosh! What if he gets inside the house??
James
Iāve texted him, but he hasnāt answered me
James
And Iām on my way
Kate
He had something in his hand...
Kate
He's hiding it in his pocket...
James
I told you everything! Itās time to go!
Kate
Iām scared, Jamesā¦
Kate
He just threw a rock through my front window
Kate
How can I stay calm when your weird twin is trying to kill me??!
James
He doesnāt want to kill you
Kate
What does that even mean??
James
Heās messing with you -- itās his way of messing with me
James
I want you to sneak out the sliding door to your patio
James
As soon as youāre out, RUN into the woods and wait there for me
Kate
Thereās no way Iām going into the woods at night alone
Kate
Shit! I think heās trying to climb through the broken window!!
James
You need to do what I say and run
Kate
I think I have an ideaā¦
James
Donāt do anything stupid
Kate
Iām going to pretend you didnāt just assume Iād do something stupid
James
I just donāt want to lose you
James
Iāve lost enough people in my life
Kate
Anyway, Iām going to set off my dadās car alarm
Kate
The noise will distract Trevor
James
Doesnāt your dad keep the keys all the way up in his room?
Kate
I can make it. I used to run track.
Kate
Too late, I did itā¦And itās totally working!
Kate
Heās running into the street
Kate
James, are you close?? Iām headed out the back door
Kate
But Iām not going into those woods without you
James
I had to go back to my house to get something
Kate
What could you possibly need right now??
Kate
Whatās more important than me??
James
Nothing is more important than you.
James
Thatās why I need my dadās gun.
