Secret Life, an Emison Story

Trying to figure this out

Chapter 9 Trying to figure this out

Emily's POV.

I drop the knife and run towards my Dad. He's been gone for so long, and I've missed him so much. He worked in the Military, so he was gone most of the time, so him being here was extra special.

"Dad!!" I ran, embracing myself in his arms.

"Emmy, how are you?" Well let's see, I have a massive conspiracy going on, I'm being stocked by a creep, who might be connected to my conspiracy. So yah, I'm doing really well.

Dad was home, which meant the hunt would have to be postponed. Yet I got the feeling A wasn't going to take a break, just because I was.

"I'm great. I met this girl, she's new around here, we're friends."

"That's great. How are the other girls?"

"They're all good." They were all good, they all had boyfriends. Hanna has a boyfriend named Caleb, he is really computer smart. Spencer has Toby. He wants to join the police academy, and he's a good carpenter. Aria was in love with our English teacher. I don't know how that all happened, but it's weird. Mr. Fitz is nice, don't get me wrong, but he's eight years older than us.

"That's great."

"When did you get home?"

"Twenty minutes ago, by the way, what was the knife for?"

"Uh... I thought you were an intruder."

"If I was, they'd be sorry." I just smiled at that.

We just spent the rest of the day with each other, it was a blast. I loved having Dad home, nothing could beat having my family whole, ok maybe Ali could compete a little. It was getting around 6:45 pm, I couldn't leave my family, so I texted Ali.

I'm so sorry, but can we please reschedule? My Dad just got home today from Afghanistan, it was a surprise. I hope she didn't just think I was blowing her off.

Sure, spend time with your Dad, no problem. Just tell me when you can.

Thanks, sorry.

It's alright, have fun with your Dad.

Night.

Night. I have some time to think while getting ready for super. Mom said she hadn't always hated her, that was a good sign. I knew there had to be another reason why she hated her, other than the one her story was set on.

Charlotte mentioned our Mom's had a pact, they would've done anything for each other. Then something must've happened between them, something that drove a wedge between them, just what was the question.

We were watching 'The Parent Trap', as we were watching it, I was thinking, why would a parent split a pair of twins? It's just crazy. Chessy was a part of it, we found it out when she found out Hallie was actually Annie.

Mom hates Alyssa because she reminds her of Mrs. D, she also doesn't like or hate Ali, because she reminds her of Mrs. D. Maybe Mrs. D had twins, and possibly Mom helped Mrs. D get rid of both her babies? Then something went wrong, that's why they hate each other.

It kinda makes sense, Mr. D was going to do something to the babies, so she enlisted Mom to help her keep her babies safe. They got separated in the system, one got adopted by the Dilore family, and the other got adopted by Ali's mom. This seemed like such a big breakthrough. I know I should just be focusing on Dad, but I couldn't help trying to put all these clues together. It would explain how she hasn't always hated her, how can you hate a baby, they're adorable?
