The Silent LIfe Of Becky Jones

Chapter ten: Welcome Home

*********A WEEK LATER*********

Finally I get to go home, it’s been forever. No word of a lie. . . I can’t believe that of all the people in the world, I have the WORST life EVER! Why does it have to be me?!! Im not going to continue my home schooling seeing as I don’t really need it anymore.

Sofia tells me that she has something she needs to tell me. It’s supposed to be a good thing. Im sitting on the couch waiting for her to come. I watch TV while I wait. I have missed a lot of TV, a few seasons of the vampire diaries and pretty little liars, and the secret life of the American teenager. I need to catch up. But Jarle and Bob recorded them all for me and out the m on disc’s labeling them and everything. I mean I already found out that there part of my real family and now there is supposed to be more great news. . Im really excited!

Finally she shows up! I have been unable to sit still for a good hour now.  She comes and sits down on the couch beside me. She opens her mouth to speak then closes it before opening it again and speaking.

“So, you know how I was doing research on your family background and stuff. . .” she says

I nod my head

“Well, there is a girl, she is a year and a half older than you and she has the same blood as you, she is your sister. . .” she says happily

"Really!" I mouth to her

"Yes . . . would you like to meet her?" she asks

I nod vigorously.

"Okay, well she is waiting in the car. . .if you want to go out there. . .I was thinking we could all go out and eat something." she says

I nod my head, getting up and heading to the door slipping my shoes on. I open the door and walk out to the car. There she is sitting im the passenger seat looking down at something. I get closer to the car to see that she is reading a book.

I lightly tap on the window. She jumps slightly and looks up at me. She smiles and opens the door.

"Hello. . ." she says

I wave.

"My, beautiful Becky . . . how you have grown. . ." she says

Beautiful Becky. . .it really was Claire. . . I hug her and start to cry. . . I can’t believe I thought she was dead for so long . . . how did she survive . . . why wasn’t I told about her . . . why weren’t we together? 

"Its okay, don’t cry . . . im here, im not leaving . . . not this time. . . " she says

I start to calm down. I pull out my phone and gesture to her to put her number in it. She takes the phone and adds her number in it, she hands back my phone before taking her phone out of her pocket and handing it to me to do the same. 

I text her and tell how much I miss her and that she isn’t aloud to leave me ever again. 

"No worries, I wont be leaving, Bob has said that I an come live with you here. As long as it was okay with you . . . I mean we will be sharing your bedroom." she says

I nod my head to tell her that I want her to stay and that we could defiantly share my room . . . our room. . . 

- You have to meet Fina! She is awesome. . You’re going to love her, she is our cousin. . - I text her

"Okay . . . lets go inside. . .” she says

I lead her to the door and we walk in taking our shoes off. We walk up the stairs and down the hall, we stand outdid of Fine’s room I nock on the door.

"Come in!" she says

I walk in and bring Claire with me. She looks at me confused. .

"Hi, im Claire, im Becky's sister. . ." says Claire

"Hello. Im Fina, her adopted sister and Cousin. . So I guess that makes us related." she says

"Yeah, I guess so. . .” she says

"Beck, are you going to start talking now. . ? I mean now that you know you’re surrounded by your real family. .and that you’re not all alone in the world?" asks Fina

I shake my head and nod at the same time; I will make noises like mhmm, or clearing my throat. But I will not say a word, not yet. . 

"So, is that a yes?" she asks

-Its a maybe. . - I text her

"So, now that we got that out of the way . . . i was thinking, its been a while sincewe went out. . . wanna go somewhere, we can go to the club. . .dance. . .have a drink or two. . ." she says

I hesitantly nod my head, it will feel good to get out, and nothing bad can happen because I have my two most favorite people with me. .if Claire comes. .

"Claire, you can come too if you want. . .” she says

"I would love to!" she says "So, Becky lets go to your room and find something to wear. . .” 

I nod and we leave Fine’s room and go into mine. I open my closet to show her all of my black on black outfits. She frowns and then gets a huge smile on her face.

"Were going shopping!" she says

-We are? - I text

"Yes! You need some more color in your cloths. .Text Fina she can come too." she says

-Wanna go shopping? - I text final

-Hells to the yea! - She text back before coming in my room.

"Let’s go!" says Claire. 

We go down stairs and Fina asks Bob for the car keys. He asks why and she tells him we are going shopping. He gives us both $200 and asks Claire if she needs any money. She pulls out her wallet and says she has her own. We go out to the car and we get in. Fina drives us to the mall and drags me to stores like American Legal, Areopostal, Hollister an Abercrombie and Fitch. . Places I would have never been caught dead in . . . . Nothing wrong with there cloths or anything, it just wasn’t me. .
