Finding The Truth

Chapter 12: Secrecy & Songwriting

Melody's POV

"Hey guys, it's Melody" I said. "and Tara, and we're" Tara said "Claire Squared" both of us said at the same time! We had done that so many times, it's become our catch phrase! "But, not for much longer...because, we have been offered this opportunity to get a demo CD together." I said. "And send it to a record company in LA, but not as Claire Squared...as, drum roll please" Tara said. "MLT!" Liz said. "Guys this is LIz, she has guest starred in some of our cover videos, and she is so talented and we have already emailed the company and asked about her joining us, and us changing the name of the group...and they said yes!" Tara explained. "She is actually our half sister as well, so you can welcome her to the group and our family in the comments below. Also, we know that this is not our normal setting, but Liz got hurt a couple days ago and it snowed so all of us have been here since the day she got hurt!" I said, continuing Tara's explanation. "I'm doing so much better guys, it's been a struggle...but I've made it through with the help of Melody and Tara! Thanks for the "get well soon" tweets and stuff, it means so much!" Liz said. "Today is also the four year anniversary of our first cover video, yay! So we are all going to sing the very first song Tara and I ever covered, but with our own twist, so we hope you like it! This is Three Sisters, One Heart" I said, signalling Tara. As we sang I could tell Liz was beyond happy, she looked so much better than she did on the first day...and she was getting to be a part of a singing group! I could tell by her voice and her smile, that this was the best thing that has ever happened to her! "And anywhere you are, you know I'll be around" I sang, looking at her. "And when you call my name" she sang, looking back at me. "I'll listen for the sound" both of us sang in perfect harmony! We finished that song and gave ourselves a round of applause! "Alright guys, we are gonna sign off because our aunt is here to do Liz's spinal tap, tweet us some ideas for songs, tweet us get well soon things, tweet, tweet, tweet! Thank you guys for being so supportive, you guys are the best fans ever, and we love all of you to pieces! Goodnight guys!" We all said. Tara hit the sign off button and we cheered! "We did it ladies!" I said, excitedly! Then, Kate walked in with spinal tap stuff...I was just making that up, is there something she wasn't telling me?

"Liz, i'm going to need you to lay on your side for me, okay?" Kate said, with this worried look on her face. Liz laid on her side and mouthed what's happening, and I mouthed back I dont know! "Kate can I talk to you outside, now!" I said. We walked out of Liz/s room, and I was worried! "You're not telling me something, what the freak is wrong with my sister...I wanna know and I wanna know now!" I said, freaking out!!! "Okay...honey, I know you wanna know...but it's too soon, okay?" she said. "No, tell me...because I really don't think it could get any worse, unless it's leukemia or something...but that's impossible!" I said with a slight laugh. She didn't say anything! "She...she has leukemia?" I asked, tears forming in my eyes! "She might! I have no idea where it came from...but I need to do this spinal tap, to confirm it!" she said. "Okay!" I said, sucking in all my tears and running back into Liz's room! "Ready Liz, on three I'm gonna put this needle into your back and pull out some spinal fluid!" Kate said! Liz nodded and grabbed my hands. She was scared out of her mind, I could tell! "One....two...." Kate said. "Three!" she continued, gently pushing the needle in. Tears started coming down Liz's face! "You're doing great sweetheart, just a few more minutes!" one of the nurses said. Liz squeezed my hands, and I squeezed hers back. "I'm right here Liz, I've got you...and I wont let go until you tell me to, I promise!" I said. She was in so much pain, she screamed and tensed up! Kate shot me this look that said tell her to not tense up! "Hey, relax those muscles for me...I know it hurts, but it's almost over!!" I said. She relaxed, and they finished up. When they pulled the needle out, she screamed and started crying. I rubbed her hands, letting her know I was there. "It's over, you did it!" I said smiling. "I couldn't have done it without you!" she said through her tears. I looked up at my aunt, and sent her this look that said "meet me outside!" and she nodded! "Liz, I really need to talk to my aunt right quick, okay? I'll be right back!" I said, knowing she was in a lot of pain and needed me. She nodded and I got up and ran outside.

"What....no, WHY in the WORLD did you spring that on her like that, I mean really?" I asked. "I had to, just please trust me!" she said, dashing off before I could even speak again! "What are you hiding?" I yelled. She kept walking, no speaking, no turning around, nothing. I rolled my eyes in frustration and ran back to Liz! The other nurses were patching her up, and one of them looked at me and mouthed she needed you here, she just couldn't say it! She screamed in pain, and I sat with her on her bed! "Why didn't you tell me you needed me here, I would've stayed right here if you would've just shaken your head!" I said. "I don't know!" she said, tears forming in her eyes. "I guess because I knew that you needed to go talk to her and I was scared and I, I just don't know!" she babbled, starting to cry. I hugged her and she hugged me back. "It's okay, it's okay...I'm right here, I promise!" I said, trying not to cry myself. Now if only I knew what my aunt was hiding...something about our family past, something about where we were from...whatever it is, it can't be good!
