PAST: Lyra & Brynn (10)
"Lyra, this is Sharron and Brynn." My father says, gesturing to the older blonde woman and her daughter who looks like her mini-me.
"Uh- nice to meet you," I mumble while fidgeting with my bracelet.
"Lyra...Sharron and Brynn will be living with us from now on." He says and I freeze.
"Wha- why?"
I watch as my dad gives Sharron a nervous look but she just nods.
"B- Because she's my wife."
The cup of juice immediately slips from my hand and shatters onto the floor.
"WIFE?! MOM JUST DIED!"
"I know-"
"Oh! For the love of God, Jay! Sweetheart, your father cheated on your mother with me around the same time you were conceived meaning you and Brynn are half sisters. I don't expect you to call me mom but I do expect you to give me some respect, is that understood?" Sharron snaps and my eyes widen even more.
"Sharron!" My dad yells and I feel tears well up in my eyes.
I look at the blonde girl sitting across from me who seems just as shocked as I am.
"Daddy...you lied?" The girl finally whispers.
Daddy? DADDY?!
He's MY dad! Not yours!
"I know baby, I'm sorry but it's alright because we can all be a happy family now!" My dad smiles pathetically and I feel my anger rise.
"No! No, we will NOT be a happy family! You're a liar and you waited a week after mom died to get married?! I HATE YOU!" I scream and everyone in the restaurant looks at us.
"Young lady-"
"Mom, stop!" Brynn cuts her off.
My dad attempts to take my hand but I just push him away and storm out of the restaurant.
I make my way towards our car where Lewis, our driver, is already waiting for us.
"Miss Lyra, what's wrong?" He asks with concern.
Lewis has always been like a second dad to me.
He's been driving me around for God knows how long.
"I want to go to the graveyard."
"Lyra-"
"Please, Lewis!" I beg and he sighs before shutting the door and getting into the driver's seat.
