EXCERPT from DOPPELGANGER 2: ON THE RUN
My mind went back to Aedan, the
doppelganger. He and Finn looked so alike. I had to shake that kiss off. It
didn't mean anything. I'd never see Aedan again. That was a good thing. I had
to believe that. He was with the doppelgangers after all and I never wanted to
see them again. Still, it wasn't so easy to forget that kiss. I knew it had
only been a day, but I could almost still feel his lips on mine. My stomach did
flips at the thought. I squashed them. I just had to remember that he and Finn
were not one and the same. Aedan was a doppelganger. He was not my crush. Not
really. Finn was the guy I liked and as much as I hated to admit it, I barely knew
Finn. Most importantly, Finn and I would never share a kiss. He had a
girlfriend. Sure, he might never see her again, but that didn't matter at the
moment.
I
turned the radio up a little louder. It was a song by Lady Gaga and I liked it.
I also needed to be distracted from my thoughts. I started singing along to the
song in my head. There was no way I was going to sing out loud and embarrass
myself in front of the others, but I needed something to make me stop thinking
about Finn and Aedan and doppelgangers. The doppelgangers. My hands started
shaking again. I tried to regain control. I could not think about them. Well, I
couldn't not think about them either, but I could try to distract myself. It
was better that I think about Aedan and Finn or better yet Lady Gaga and the
song on the radio.
I
stared ahead at the road. The song changed. I didn't know the song so I
couldn't sing along. I forced myself to listen to the words as a distraction.
It was a love song. I tried not to look back at Finn. I focused on the road. It
was never ending. I looked at the clock. Two hours left driving. I could make
it. The song changed to one I knew. I sang along to the song on the radio under
my breath. Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake and don't think about doppelgangers.
That
was when I saw the flashing red lights behind me. Adrenaline flooded my body.
Suddenly being awake wasn't a problem.
