I'll Be Here For You novel Chapter 7

They had birthmarks which was the only way you could tell the two apart. Both of them had the same marking, same size, same everything, except they were on the opposite sides of their body. Dylan's was on his left wrist, and Oliver's was on his right. It made things a lot easier on my mom, but as for me, well it didn't help at all.

Nevertheless, I still wore a small smirk on my face. What the hell, it was a fifty-fifty chance anyways. Sighing, I said, "Fine, but we need a mediator."

"What's a mediator?" One of them asked.

"A mediator is someone who is a person that doesn't have an opinion in the matter and can judge the results fairly and without bias." I shot back.

"I thought that mediators were only used for arguments."

I stared blankly in their direction and shook my head, trying to still be annoyed except I just couldn't do it. They were sometimes just too cute to stay annoyed at. Trying to hold back my laughter, I smiled, "Just go and get mom."

One of the boys left and ran down the stairs to the kitchen, screaming for my mother. I turned back to the other one, "Last chance to tell me who you are without your brother knowing and I'll give you some of my good chocolate."

I could almost feel his face light up, "Really?"

I nodded, keeping my tone soothing so I could convince him to give in, "Of course! You just need to spill the beans and it's all yours. You don't even have to share."

I knew I got him at the last part. Check and mate. The opportunity was just too good to pass up that there was no way he could-

"No thanks, I'm good."

My jaw almost hit the floor. What kid in his right mind would refuse candy? And it wasn't the cheap sort of candy that you could buy in the one dollar section of target. No, it was my secret stash of Lindor milk chocolates. He knew that too!

"I got mom!" The other one announced as he bounded into the room with my mom right behind his heels. He jumped onto my bed and unknowingly right on my legs. He didn't even notice my grunt of pain as he went to take his place next to his brothers.

"Honey, what is this all about?" My mom directed towards me.

"Dylan and Oliver won't leave me alone. They keep jumping up and down on my bed being totally annoying. So they told me they would leave if I could guess which one is which. And I need you to tell me if I'm wrong or right."
