Sixth Post : Ending

Close to the end of this phenomenal novel, it takes a crazy twist.  Something you would never expect to happen.  Raeanne is spending some time with Ty (kaeleighs' Boyfriend), and there is a knock on the door. Ian was wondering what Kaeleigh was doing with this stranger.  She kept trying to explain that she was Raeanne, but all Ian could tell her is that Raeanne was dead.  Of course, Raeanne thought that statement was very absurd because how could she be dead if she was standing right there? Finally, Ian confessed about the accident where Raeanne died a few years back.  Come to find out, Kaeleigh had Dissociative Identity Disorder, and sometimes she would take on her sisters personality; after all they were twins.
