Unforgettable

Chapter 20

"Vey, dinn-" I walk into her room to find her passed out on her bed. I notice a screen poking from behind her arm. I slowly get the phone from under her and its not her phone. I see that the case had pictures of her and a girl. The one that caught my eye the most, was her and a older boy who was smiling brightly and had her on his back. She was in a dress and was also smiling, she looked so careless and, happy. The phone buzzes and a text pops up.
Zay Zay-"hey Aki, I know this is alot but there is a family emergency back home and I need to know if your willing to come home, sorry for forcing your hand. I love you and talk to you later"
"Vey, Vey wake up" I need to know whats going on.
She groans before her eyes focused on the phone in my hand. "Give it back, dad." She looked afraid and her eyes grew big.
"Who is Zay Zay and what is this? Who are you with?" He shows me thr pictures in my phone case.
"I'll explain, just give me my phone. This is a conversation for Mic also" I hand the phone back and she goes down stairs.
I get Mic and wait for her at the table. I fill Mic in on what I found and what I know.
Vey sits across from both of us. "This is still very new to me so please don't freak out" Mic nods and elbows me making me do the same.
"Okay so I got a call from a unknown number and was to meet someone.  Finds out I have three brothers,  a dead mother and father. All who live or lived in the states. Turns out I was 13 when I was first kidnapped,  my mother died a year before I went missing and my father died of a broken heart six months later" I know she doesn't remember anything but tears roll down her face.
"This is my old phone from before I was taken"
She slides it across to us, its unlocked and is filled with pictures of her and many unknown people, and that same boy again.
"The boy I'm with on the back of my phone is my oldest brother, Zyaire,  second oldest is Aklua, and the youngest brother but who is also older then me is Inska"
I see a picture of her, and three boys. All who were laughing and smiling.
"I don't know what to do, I don't want to leave you but I also want to find out who my biological family is. Zyaire said he needs to know by this coming Friday, theres something going on back home" she looks so torn but I want her to be happy.
"Can we meet him?" I want to meet the boy who says he's my daughter's brother.
"Yeah, I'll call him"

I get up from the table and call Zay, "hey, um my foster parent's want to meet you, are you able to? If not its fine"
"Tell me when and where, I would love to meet who has been taking care of my sister " he sighs through the phone.
"Okay, what about today around 6:30, I'll send you the address okay?"
"Yeah, I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay, see you later"
I hang up and go back to the table.
"He'll be her around 6:30, for dinner" I let them know.
"I'm gonna go on a run, since I'm awake now" I go up to my room and get dressed in black spandex with black running shorts over, a baggy t-shirt and my black and white running shoes.  I put my hair in two twists that end in braids. I grap my headphones and my phone. I say goodbye to Mic who was eating at the table.
I set out and start off with a warm up then stretch and set off on a 40 minute run there and back. I listen to music that was on my original phone. Its alot of country and metal. Its different from what I would choose now but its not bad. The one thing that I can say I would choose now is Nf, his songs are scattered in the playlists.
I find my rhythm and the first 15 minutes fly by. Its early in the morning on a Saturday so not many people are out.
The sun hasn't risen yet.
Its beautiful, its like a dream, perfect scenery. 
I get to my 20 minute mark and turn around. I can feel my body start to struggle but I keep pushing. I suddenly feel uncomfortable and my skin began to crawl. My pace began to pick up speed. I forced myself to relax, and not feel threatened.
I run all the way home, and immediately tell Dazawia and Mic.
"Next time call me, and I'll pick you up" Azawia glanced out the window. 
"K, I just wanted you to know" I go up to my room and get in the shower. 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"It is a pleasure to finally meet the people who have took such good care of my sister" Zay bows deeply in regard and respect. 
"Stand, it is more pleasure for us to meet her brother who never stopped looking for her" Mic leads Zay into the kitchen where Azawia and I are finishing the food.
"Aki, looks like your in the kitchen more then you used to, Sir" he bowed once more.
"Zay ,mabye I wasn't in the kitchen because I knew it would annoy you" I smirk back. It wasn't as awkward this time around, it was more like old friends meeting again.
My mouth just moved, I didn't even have time to process everything I was saying.
"Oohh~ smart mouth today" he chuckeled. 
I roll my eyes and scoff. "Do you want to eat or not?" I look him dead in the eyes. I could see him crack a smile.
I don't budge. I only look away to get some food.
Azawia immediately struck up a conversation with Zay.
