The Calling [On Hold]

19. Caylen Kae

I couldn't believe it.
I have a sister? Better yet two. Twins.

So many questions swirled in my head. As I sat in The Bakery Cafe with Dalya, Charlie, Caylen and Cayley.
Charlie dumbfounded because of the resemblance between me and my sisters.
Dalya with her usual nonchalant smile and of course her usual social media thing. Taking pictures and talking into the camera.
Cayley with some unusual mood somehow a background story that I wasn't used to.
Caylen and I staring at each other. She probably has as many questions just like me, or more.

No one spoke for a good six minutes. Then someone I didn't think would speak, spoke.

"Uh, so why do you two look like my girlfriend?" Charlie nearly coughed, I giggled and shook my head.

"Sorry. That was a dumb question. But this is all so surprising." Charlie scoffed, I and Dalya nodded in agreement.

"This is unusual for all of us Chance." Caylen said. Oops.

"Charlie." He corrected her, he hates when people call him anything other than Charlie. Only I could and he loves when I call him by his actual name.

"Charlie...Cayley and I thought we would never see our sister again. Cayley actually gave up. She would sometimes see girls that loom a lot like her and wouldn't be her and it made her so distant from me and work. Even our grandmother." Caylen added, I glanced over at Cayley and she was looking at me with wonder and what seemed like hate. Maybe she thinks I'm not the real me.

I'm me as me I can be.

"Will you be willing to go through some questions?" Caylen asked, I snapped my head at her and raised my eyebrows.

"Wait. You want me to prove I'm me by asking questions about something I never knew I had!? I don't mind, I hope that you are my sisters but what if I don't know anything? What if this is all just a mixup?" I spattered, Cayley's curiosity turned into anger.

"Then leave because you're wasting our time!" Cayley said and stomped away. We watched her walk out the cafe and disappear. Dalya stopped talking and put her phone away. I looked down.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upse-"

"Don't mind her. She'll come around. I have a strong feeling in my heart that you belong to this Hill family and I wanna prove you're our baby sister!" Caylen said, I sighed nodded. Charlie rubbed my back to calm me down and I bit my lip.

"Well..." I breathed and leaned forward on the table.

"Bring on the questions." I smiled, she clapped and hugged me. Holy save me.

***************************

These questions were easy. From mom's birthday to my grandmother's middle name. I got all these questions correct and knew them without hesitation.

"She studies. That's why she got everything right. If there's people like her blonde friend these questions are answered all over the internet!" Cayley said from wiping off the counter.

Dalya stood up from drinking her hot tea and Cayley dropped the rag and walked over meeting her half way.

"Calm down. The two of you could fuck later." Caylen said seriously. Or maybe she's just sarcastic. Charlie chocked on his coffee and I patted his back.

Cayley sighed and went to the back of the cafe. Dalya left the cafe without another word. I was gonna get up to talk to her but Charlie got up instead.

"Stay here and bond with your sister." Charlie winked and kissed me, every kiss felt like the first. Sparks flew and my stomach felt like a million butterflies spilled out the cage.

Caylen cleared her throat and I almost forgot we were here. Charlie winked at me and ran after Dalya.

"He's cute...You have a great taste in men like me." Caylen winked. We laughed at her comment.

"The only reason I made you answer those questions were because they were the requirements of Mrs "Queen" Cayley. But I really think. No I know you're our sister.

"It's okay. I don't blame her. I've been in America my entire life. I've been kept away from my family this long and I have trouble trusting people because of it. I was blessed to find Charlie and now I'm extremely blessed I found the two of you." I said, Caylen smiled.

"There's this thing mum used to say..." she added.

"You never know what's coming for you doll." We both said in unison, I heard a gasp and turned to see Cayley. I looked between the twins' and was greeted by surprised and joyous expressions.

"OMG!" Caylen got up to hug me. I smiled hugging back. She hugged me so tight I felt her bones. Nope that was something external.
I moved away and saw a familiar locket on her neck. It was so identical to mine I had to see if I was still wearing mine. I guess Caylen thought the same as she looked at hers. The only difference were the color of the ribbons. Mine green and lavender. Hers of yellow and red. If we have one I knew Cayley had one. As if on cue I turned to her and she was holding into hers walking towards me staring at my hands. I smiled and she smiled slight back. Without asking she answered my question.

"Blue and white." Cayley smiled showing me the ribbons tied to her locket. I have mom and my real dad at prom. What pictures did they have?

"On the count of three?" Caylen said, Cayley nodded and I licked my lips.

"One." Cayley smiled.

"Two." I sighed.

"Three!" we all said opening our lockets. Holy crap.
