I hope you're enjoying the story! Here's chapter 9! Also, TRIGGER ALERT!!!
Nikki's POV
I stared at Starr as she hung up with her mom, her mom's.... Or I guess my mom's.... Words, echoing in my mind. "Your twin sister's name is Nicole." I'm Starr's twin sister! I have a twin!!! I had always wished I had a twin. I was obsessed with them. I always wished they ran in my family or something so I could have twins. Turns out I am a twin!!!
"Nikki!!!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Jinxx.
"Huh? What? Sorry..." I blushed in embarrassment.
"Its fine. I was just asking if you wanted to call your dad?" He said.
"Oh... Uh, sure." I took out my phone, put it on speaker, and dialed the number. It rang about four times before my dad answered.
"Nikki?" He asked.
"Yeah, dad, its me. How've you been?" I asked, not wanting to just jump into it.
"I'm good, but I miss you sweetie. How's the tour? Are the boys being nice? Is your band just as glamorous as you make them to be?" We laughed.
"One Direction are some of the nicest people ever, plus Black Veil Brides are pretty amazing as well! But I didn't just call to chat....." I took a deep breath. "I wanted to talk about mom...."
His tone turned serious. "What would you like to know honey?"
"Why did you really leave?"
"I was going to wait, but I figure you're eighteen, you're old enough... She cheated on me. I told you that, but what I didn't tell you, is that I cheated too. I was going to break it off, because I found this girl, I met her on a business trip. Her name was Katrina. We went out to dinner, and we did kiss, but no more than that. I came home that night, and I told your mother we needed to talk. She said that we did, too, and I figured it would be mutual breakup.... But she told me she was pregnant... So I stayed, until about 2 weeks before you were born, we got in an argument, and yelled at each other that we cheated. By then, we knew you were twins. We agreed that we would sort this out after your birth. Once you were born, I stayed a day to fill out paperwork and birth certificates, then took you and left, not saying goodbye to your mom." He finished, and I was crying.
"Dad.... Do you remember Starr? The one who slept over?" I asked.
"Yes.... What about her?" He sounded confused.
"She..... She's my t-t-twin." My voice cracked, tears spilling over.
"I wondered if she could be." He sounded like he was crying too. "Her eyes were as green as mine..."
"My mom never remarried after you left, you know. That man turned abusive after she started dating him!" Starr said, venom coating her voice. "My family is shit because of you!!!"
She was crying as well. "I'm sorry to hear that..." He sounded regretful.
"You should be!!!!!" She stormed out of the room.
"Sorry, dad... She's just a bit shocked." I tried to explain
"No... Don't be sorry. She's right. We could have worked it out, but I took the easy way and left, taking you." He said, sadness thick in his voice.
"I'm sorry daddy. You know, she lives only two blocks away from us.... Maybe you could ask her to coffee, or try to talk to her somehow...." I suggested.
"Thanks kiddo. Anyway, I have to go now. I'll call you in a couple days." He said.
"Okay daddy. Love you!"
