My Own Fame (Sequel to 'The Trap')

Dylan's POV Chapter 10

"Hey brother!"

Lily ran into my arms.

I whispered. "What are they doing here?"

"Oh we'll explain everything, Mr. Wright."

I smiled at her. "Yes?"

Lil rolled her eyes as she walked away to welcome Rochelle home. Before I could even take a step, Sydney had her arms around me.

"You're such a great big brother! Your parents are going to love your huge surprise!"

"Thanks."

"And before you ask, no we didn't blackmail the girls to be here tonight. It was actually their idea and it's up to them to fill you in. We're here to help and yes, you do need help."

I wanted to argue with her, but it never solves anything, just makes more problems for me.

"Alright, meeting time!" I said.

As I laid out my plan for the day of the ceremony and party, everyone seemed content with it and were shocked that I had thought of everything. I had spent the flight to London thinking and planning every detail out. I even had figured out a way for my twin to go unnoticed until we were ready to reveal her to our family and friends. 

After the meeting was adjourned, Lily informed us that Rochelle's and my own message to Dad was all that she was missing from the video present. Lily has never been a procrastinator unlike Holly and I, and I'm glad that Lil had allowed about a week to dedicate to editing the  massive video. 

As I went to get ready for the interview, Holly came in to talk to me. I really missed my partner in crime. Thankfully she wasn't mad that she wasn't involved with the master planning. But thankfully she was willing to help me pull off my plan. If she didn't believe this was a good idea, there would be no way for me to convince her to help. I could've blackmailed her, but where's the fun in that?    

Suddenly I heard Lilian bark my name as if she was my boss. I never thought I would hear that tone of voice coming from sweet and innocent Lily. Holly was able to calm me down as we walked out and got the interviews done. Afterwards, I allowed the gathering to continue for a while before I kicked everyone out. 

The next day, I went over to the house to play my part in the half baked plan the girls had come up with. We were able to trick Mom as she never suspected that we weren't being truthful and surprisingly, Dad acted the same way that Mom did. My performance really sold it! The girls couldn't do it without me! I have yet to hear a thank you to go along with their plan, but I guess it was their way of helping me out. So after I toured around the house as a sick patient, we had a roommate meeting. 

Apparently this whole sick patient thing was Holly's idea, but the only reason it worked was that Lily told our parents that I was ill. Lily is the queen of half baked plans. She wasn't as freaked out as I thought she would be after lying to our parents. She was the type of kid who basically would freak out if she didn't do everything right the first time. She and Holly had the same upbringing and I only believe these two are sisters because I spent a fair amount of my childhood with them. 

Then Holly explained to me why we had to bring in Syd and Isaac and even though the reasoning makes sense of keeping Mason at bay, I was having mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it would be epic to go down in history as the only ones who could trick Mason. But on the other hand, Mason is the father of my girlfriend and I'm still trying to win his approval. I'm still trying to prove to him that I'm not the naughty child I was when I was a lad. Even though I was torn, I decided to go along with it because Syd and Isaac already knew what we were up to. If I didn't allow their help, I just knew they would blackmail us or just turn us in.
