-AMANDA / RACHEL’S POV-

I’m not to sure what happened that night of the Alpha Sigma party, all I really remember was hearting my name… well, my other name and going completely under. I blacked out, and immediately I wasn’t with Devon and Trevor anymore.

I was in a room, alone, staring at myself… well, both of my selves. Rachel Kidder, sitting in one chair, and Amanda Phillips in the other.

“This was never supposed to happen, but now it is inevitable. Amanda was never supposed to remember Rachel’s memories, she was never supposed to change.”

I was confused, but in a way it made sense, somewhere in the back of my head.

“The night of the wreck, Rachel Kidder died, and Amanda Phillips had gone into a coma for a couple of days. Rachel wasn’t supposed to die, so she was put inside of Amanda Phillips body, her soul was meshed with Amanda’s, and now, they have eventually become one person.”

My head was hurting trying to process all of this at one time, it sounded so bizarre, and so unrealistic… but I knew it was the truth.

Sometimes things are better left unexplained, and just accepted.

I spoke, “So who am I?”

“Whoever you chose.”

Then I was back, staring up at Devon’s frantic features, Trevor’s eyes were searching mine. I whispered, “Devon…”

My voice, it sounded different, more raspy, not like Amanda’s… I mean mine… wait…

That’s true, I was two different people now, great, now people were going to think I had split personality or something.

Devon spoke, “Rachel?”

Oh it felt so good to hear that come out of her mouth, I smiled, then Trevor spoke, “Amanda?”

My head snapped, this sucked, how was I going to function now? I was two different people… how was I going to sort everything out? How was I going to live life? Was I only going to be Rachel to Devon? Because in all actuality I was Rachel… but I was also Amanda… and Amanda was supposed to be alive, not Rachel…

Would I have to keep Rachel a secret?

***

After the night of the incident everything had turned back to semi normal. Devon was helping me sort out everything, and she allowed me to be my other true self when it was just me and her.

I couldn’t go by Rachel whenever we were out in public.

I had to be Amanda Phillips, even though I felt more comfortable in Rachel’s sense… but I didn’t mind.

It was only Devon that mattered anyway.

She was the reason I was still here, the reason I had emerged out of Amanda’s body in the first place. I wanted to thank her, I wanted to kiss her, love her, I needed her. She was laying across from me, her eyes lightly closed as she slept peacefully.

I stroked a strand of hair and her eyes fluttered, she whispered, “What time is it?”

I smiled, “It’s 3:30 in the morning.”

“Why are you up?”

“Thinking.”

She scooted closer to me, my heart started to race, she smirked, “What are you thinking about?”

I could play it cool, just relax Rachel, “You…”

She smiled, her arm grazing mine under the covers, “What about me?”

“How much I’ve missed you…” I leaned in, wanting to kiss her.

Her lips found mine, and I felt my heart practically explode in my chest. My hand tangled in her blonde hair and I pulled her closer to me, I never knew that one day me and Devon would be making out, but here we were.

Then she did something so unexpected.

She was on top of me, straddling my waist, her lips traveled to my ear and she whispered, “I missed you to…” I shivered under her and I felt her smile against my cheek. Her lips continued to move down to my neck and she kissed it, and then my jaw.

And I couldn’t take it anymore.

I rolled her on her back, she continued to slip my shirt over my head in the process as I hovered over her. She kissed my collar bone and I moaned, “Devon…”

She stiffened, but it was good, she was nervous, but excited, and that was an amazing feeling.

She looked up at me, “I’m nervous.”

I smiled, “We don’t have to…”

She shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t want to, because I do… I’m just scared.”

I stroked her cheek, “There’s nothing to be scared of, I’ll take it slow?”

She smiled shyly, leaning up and kissing me on my lips, and then I got my answer.

***

The sun was shining through my eye lids, I slowly opened them to see Devon’s naked body turned towards me. I smiled, she was so perfect. I pulled the covers back gently, revealing her perfect, bare body. Her skin was glowing from the morning sunlight.

She was just to perfect.

I pulled her into me, kissing her on her forehead as I continued to try and wake her up.

Then her eyes found mine once more. I smiled, “How was it?”

“Perfect,” Her hand ran down my chest, stopping right before my sex, “Can we do it again?”

I smirked, “I want to talk.”

She scooted closer, “About?”

“You, me… what’s going to happen later on. What if I mistakenly go more towards Rachel? My parents? Amanda’s parents I mean… I could never do that to Rachel’s parents.”

She stroked my cheek, “Everything is going to be ok Rachel… trust me.”

I smiled, “You brought me back you know… out of Amanda’s body.”

“I know…it’s still bizarre to me… but I know it’s you Rachel… it’s always been you.”

She kissed me slightly, “You got a second chance at life Rachel…”

I nodded, “I did…”

And I was going to cherish it forever, with this girl laying right in front of me.
