I picked at my manicured nails harshly, then looked around the small office, trying to find a distraction but i couldnt get away from the thought, she was gone, my mother was gone.-
I looked at the middle aged woman with brown hair and said, "so your telling me my father and four brothers are going to take me in , Oh and yeh, my twin sister!? , What the fuck?" She sighed and I saw the slight wrinkles on her forehead crease. "Look, I'm sorry, It's what the file says and I'm just here to make sure your safe." I sigh, leaning back in the chair. "Yeh, fine, whatever." I look back down at my nails.

I had memories from when I was little and I remember a little girl but I thought it was one of those kid things like an imaginary friend or something but after stalking Instagram for an hour, I saw a picture. It was of two boys posted by Alex_Mendoza but in the back I saw her. I knew it was her, but god, she probably hates me or doesn't even know I exist.
I couldn't seem to stop smiling, something I hadn't been able to do for years. The picture wasn't much; it was just a school photo the social worker sent but she was my baby girl, She had the face shape of Rafael and Luca , the same nose as Alex and even the same smile as Antonios, but most of all, She looked exactly like Sarah, my other baby girl, Ever since I got the call about Savanna, I started thinking more and more, I hadn't had a full conversation with her since , god knows when, I miss h-"Dad , the social workers here," Alex says, taking me out of my thought "Oh, yes, yes." I stood from my paper clad desk, running a hand through my hair , one step closer to finally having a family again.
I sighed as I saw her slip out the door as Dad showed the social worker around, Sarah and I had never been close but out of all of my brothers and me, we talked the most. Now I may have been lucky if it was three words, let alone a full sentence, but it was something. I don't remember much from when we were younger, but I knew since we were young Rafael had a strong hatred for her and I never understood why, even though he was my twin.I made my way up to my room, passing Rafael's I stopped. "Dad's going around with the social worker so you might want to hide your sh*t," I said, nodding to the cigarets and lighter placed lazily on his draws on full display He gets up quickly, sticking them in the back of one of his draws and comes to the door frame, looking to the stairs to see if he was coming up. "When did they get he- Boy's come down!" we hear a yell and all make way down Getting there last, I looked to the middle aged lady and gave a polite smile "These are my sons, boys, introduce yourself."
"I'm Antonio, I'm 25 and the oldest." He nods, shaking her hand "Hello, I'm Alex. I'm 23." I waited for him to finish shaking her hand before I spoke for both Rafael and me, knowing he didn't come off as the kindest. "I'm Alex; this is my twin Rafael, we're both 19." I smile tightly, hoping to leave a good impression. I watch as the lady smiles back. "Its very nice to meet you all but I was hoping to meet Sarah, she's Savanna's twin after all.
"-But I was hoping to meet Sarah, she's Savanna's twin, after all." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at that but didn't stop the small scoff from coming out, to which I got an elbow in the ribs from Luca."Oh , ah , she- She's not here at the moment; she went out with some friends, I do apologize; she didn't know you would be coming, but she is very excited to see Savanna again." Luca jumps in, saving Dad, to whom he gives a thankful nod. "Oh, very well, then I guess we are done here," she says before nodding to my dad. "I'll have the final papers sent and I'll see you next week." He gives her a smile, walking her to the door.
We are getting our little sister back.

Sorry if it's short; I just wanted to get some more perspectives.
Also, do the POV banners make it easier or would you prefer just - Savannas POV
I am open to suggestions :)
