TADC AU - A New Life.

Chp 23: Hello New Sister.

-Later that day-

Jax outside talking to Caine
So you're telling me that Pomni is my new sister?!

Step! Sister, yes! But don't worry, everything is gonna be fine! Caine said confidentiality

Dad... She's an old crush who rejected me... Now she's my Step Sister! Do you not see how complicated that makes our relationship?

I understand Jax but would rather not know where she would be at. What people would adopt her... Remember, just because you have kids doesn't mean you're fit to have them... You should know that better than anybody.

Ugh... I hate it when you're right... Wait, so what room is she gonna be sleeping in? Jax asked

Yours! He said proudly...
Jax remained silent as he grew a look of sheer stupidity on his face

Dad... Ugh, why do I have to share my room?

Because she's your little sister, what's the problem with sharing rooms with your siblings? Caine playfully asked

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm 16 and she's 15, not by blood family, so it's awkward, stack that with the fact that she was my crush who put me in the brother zone. You don't see any problem with that at all?

Not at all, son! You see, I have faith in you, I know you'll keep a good head on your shoulder and be a good big brother to her. You and Ragatha already make a lovely couple. The only thing that could go wrong is that you come onto Pomni, and I know you're better than that. Caine said confidently

Of course not. I don't see her like that.

-2 Minutes Later-

Jax walked into the hallway in front of his room and saw Pomni putting her belongings into her dresser

So... Pomni... How does it feel to have a sibling now? He asked

If I'm being honest, it a kinda nerve wracking, I never thought I'd have a sibling.

Well, it's true like you said, I am like a brother to you! He said. Pomni giggle

Y-yeah.

Well, I'm going to hang with Ragatha, I'll be back later. Chow! He said as he walked out of the house. Slowly Pomni's smile faded away

-30 Minutes Later-

Pomni sitting in the living room writing in her diary

'January 4th, 2024. I've been adopted by my Teacher as his very own daughter. I never thought I'd have to write something like this, but just because something is improbable doesn't mean it's impossible. But... I can't help the fact that I have been lying to everybody because of my parents.
As a kid, my parents always told me my studies come first before anybody, no matter what, that's why I'm so quick to make friends, even when I'm nervous.

There were multiple times people wanted to be my friend, and I was happy about that.
But my parents always told me that friends are just people who are waiting to turn on you. So I lived most of my life just being sheltered in, being polite to others and respectful... My parents even took me out of school on days when they were giving us the sex ed talk. Some people say I'm pure, I guess you could say they're right, just not for the right reason.

I'm in high school, of course, and I would take some kind of interest in people, I won't even deny the fact I'd be curious about liking men or women, maybe even both. I don't know because of my parents. I had to say I was asexual just because my parents didn't want me to have a relationship with anybody.

They wanted me to go to college and better my life. I never even had much of a life in the first place, I was made to be a perfect angel for Mom and Dad, and that's when I was pressured to drink alcohol at the party, I just... Went for it... I was honestly happy too, I wanted to feel alive for a bit, even if it meant I had to throw up, because that did make me feel so bad!

But Jax... He suffered so much because of me, he almost lost his loss because of me... And I still hate myself for that... And... I wished I didn't have to lie so much. I wish I knew more about life and people... Because when I first hung around Jax, I felt like he was just another friend I would be happy to have in my life. But the day he let himself melt when he hugged me, it made my heart flutter, I wanted to see him be more open to me, I wanted him to talk to me all he wanted. But once his parents came by and met him... He was right, his actions were justified... I guess I'm just too well-mannered to think the same thing...

But that day, our friendship faded away, and then I tried to repair it! But... He confessed to me... Hurting him even worse... And once I heard he was in the car crash, I cried... I wanted to see him but that police lady told me to leave...'

Pomni's eyes filled with tears, dropping on the page. She quickly closed the book

Gangle & Kinger sitting in the coffee shop
Wait! So does she!?! Gangle asked

I don't know, I mean she was calling me by the guy's name when she came onto me.
Kinger said

So does that mean Pomni has a crush or was it just the booze? Gangle asked

I can't say for sure, some say drinking makes you more open and honest, but it may be true. I don't know enough about it.

If it's true, we know who she likes. Gangle said

That's correct... Now this is the end of the chapter, and the author is fading harder than a man who smokes, see you guys in 4 or 5 hours, seriously he rushed this chapter. Kinger said
