secret sister

chapter 11

Lilly's pov
------------------------------------------------------------------
No,no,no,no,no

This carnt be happening I've kept it a secret for weeks even tho I wanted to say something.

There still in danger and then knowing will just add more risk.

So I muster up the most fake confused face I can manage and say "I'm not your sister" while looking him in the eyes.

"Yes u are I know you are it all adds up"Luca replied defensively

"What adds up,where all a little confused here"aria butted in.

"One she looks like our sister,two has the same name and three got kidnapped by the same people"Luca answers eyeing me curiously.

"What I carnt understand tho is why not just tell us,do you not want to be in this family that much"he continued as I could feel my breath start to speed up.

They carnt know,they will get hurt because of me and I won't do that to another person not again.

I curl my hands into fists to stop them shaking as everyone in the room just looks at me.

"I'm not your daughter"I try again hoping with everything in me they will believe my lie.

"Yea you carnt be sure without proof"and for once I'm grateful when Xavier speaks .

But what dad says next soon knocks all the air out of my body,"actually I was going to talk to your mother first but I got the result back this morning,on the DNA test I got done just to be sure"he elaborates

So while I was thinking I was hiding it well really non of them truly believed my act they all had suspensions,if I had know I could have left a lot earlier.

I could've just helped them from a distance but I was selfish I wanted to meet them properly spend time with them even if just as someone who works for them.

Everyone looks between me and Joseph as he pulls out his phone getting the results up,I'm stud near the door while Luca is not much further away and mom has moved next to dad.

I'm on the brink of a panick attack ,they carnt know that's all I keep thinking but what really can I do.

I could take his phone but that's only confirming I have something to hide and it only delays it for so long.

But there's also a selfish part of me that wants them to know so maybe I could be more than arias bodyguard,staying at a distance.

I could have the family I've always wanted back,but what kind of person would I be if I let them get hurt just because I came back.

I've seen the consequences of what it's like to know me,care about me try to protect me and to the person that least deserved it.

I carnt handle it anymore I carnt let them see me like this so I run out the room with Luca close behind but as I leave the room I hear the words I've always wanted and never wanted at the same time.

"It's true it's a match"I'm guessing it was dad but all I can focus on is trying to breath ,I ran into a random room,vision blurry and hands shaking barely able to hear the loud footsteps that are getting closer.

I lock the door and fall the floor trying to get air into my lungs that don't seem to be working,I haven't had a panick attack in years but it still feels the same.

"Lilly open the door"I just hear over fog that's slowly creeping in on my mind,but he carnt see me like this ,nobody can,I'm supposed to be strong and this is just weak.

That's what I've been taught all my life,I don't know how long passed but slowly my breathing turned a bit more steady and my hearing started to come back and that's when I hear the constant banging on the door.
