I never knew that dreams have so many interesting theories behind it.

[lydia-michaels]

Layla. You were fine a  minute ago and then all of a sudden you seem afraid of questions. Are you okay?

[layla-michaels]

Look... I'm fine. I'm just tired. I don't feel.... uh, good.

Oh, I’m sorry dear. Are- Are you going to be alright? Do you need anything? You know… I’m always here if you need to talk. I used to help others a lot before… well I just try to help out where I can.

Twin bonding || Layla & Lydia

[lydia-michaels]

" You will though, so you don’t have to relate right now," Lydia replied with a cheerful sound to her voice. She thought it would have been a great idea for Layla to get a place of her own soon. It would allow her to live on her own and socialize more, which was something that was always good in her opinion. Lydia listened to her sister carefully as Layla mentioned how scary it probably was to live on her own. In a weird way it was because Lydia didn’t have the safety of her parents home anymore, but moving in with Dex still felt like the most natural thing in the world. Like it was supposed to happen. " It was, but it also felt right. Like it’s weird to have to do everything on our own, but it’s nice to know that by doing this and living together, Dex is the one for me. It shows were compatible. "

When the food arrived Lydia smiled at the plates in front of them. This was a lot better than the movie theater snacks that the pair had earlier. Lydia couldn’t help but laugh at her sister’s response to the food. It was comical, but still accurate. It was still something about her sister’s personality that she loved. Lydia began to eat her meal as a weird sort of silence fell between the two. It was nice when thing’s didn’t have to be said between people and they could just enjoy each other’s company. That’s when you know you have someone special. Layla was definitely ore than special to Lydia. She was her twin and her best friend. There really wasn’t anyone else out there like that. " This is really good." Lydia said before taking another bite.

"Everything's good when you are sitting with family," Layla mused to herself, half-smiling, waiting for Lydia to react to that sentence. "I hope you and Dex get married!" she exclaimed as a reply. "I'll be the bridesmaid, I hope." Excited at the prospect, she grinned and took a huge bite off her burger, chewing it with her mouth full, her face a comical expression. 

As the night falls and the lights in the diner steadily grew brighter in contrast to the black sky, throwing the occupants in the room in glaring light; as the tinkering of cutlery in the background slowly fades as people finish their meals and the constant babbling of the crowd slowly dwindles down to a peaceful murmur, the two sisters finish the rest of their meal. Layla spent the rest of the time discussing in earnest her sister's supposed future wedding, and how exactly is she going to make herself useful in organising the bachelor's parties and the colour of the tablecloths, and laughing when a waitress overheard them and was convinced for a moment that Lydia was getting married soon. 

Layla couldn't wait to see her sister again when they parted. After making her interests in her sister's famous and well-liked pies known, and demanding jokingly to see it on the dining table back at their parents' house first thing next Monday morning, they parted ways when they had to take different routes at a crossroad near their houses. Relationships are strengthened and renewed in the small homely diner that night.
