Catching Up [on hold]

Stitching Pieces

I made sure I locked my room door, before surfing the Internet. I was about to search information on Kara's dad, and I don't want Andrew barging in my room to discover me searching information on Kara. He'd probably smack my head...or maybe smack my laptop closed. Asking why would Andrew even bother barging into my room? I don't know. I'm just keeping myself on the safe side.

Turned out, there wasn't any specific information on Kara's life. The articles were mostly about her rich father's business, but nothing on the family. The only information I got on Kara, was her Twitter and Instagram account. I decided to check her page.

Her feed was mostly pictures of her, pure narcissist, although she tries to make it look more photographic, by the means of telling someone to take the picture of her. Nothing was said about her being adopted. Of course not. She isn't the kind of person who allows people knowing the real her. And plus, she looks a lot like her mom, so I'm guessing the adopted child wasn't her, but someone else. Maybe she was the sister-to-be.

I sighed a sigh of exhaustion and exasperation on my life. So many things were jumbled up, and I didn't know how the truth would finally turn up, or if the truth would actually be spotlighted. A big question mark, sat glued in my heart. I couldn't ask, nor would anybody answer.

I sat there for a few minutes, contemplating on life like that. I finally shut down my laptop and got up to go down and get some iced tea. "Ashleigh, would you please come here," I heard my mom say. I dreaded. Whatever it is, it's going to be long. I walked over to my mom who was sitting on the living room sofa. She gestured me to sit next to her. "Yes mom?" I asked.

"Anything you want to tell me about school?"

"No?" I simply said questioningly. She cocked an eyebrow. I see she heard something.

"Really?"

"Yeah," I shrugged.

"Well I just wanted to know about something. I wanted to know more about Abigail Hamilton."

I thought about that. Hamilton and Berkley. They're sisters with different names! "That's it!" I slapped my lap. Abby is Kara's step-sister. So Abby was adopted!

"Excuse me?" Mom gave me a weird face. I forgot I was sitting across mom. Ugh damn I have to explain everything.

"Uh, Mom, can we have this mother and daughter chat sometime later next week? I don't feel like sharing yet," I rested my brown eyes on her blue ones.

She sighed. "Well, okay then."

"Thanks mom!" I gave her a quick hug and rushed to the kitchen. I felt really thirsty, so I haven't forgot to take my iced tea. Then I strided upstairs, careful not spill my iced tea.

"That's it! Abby is Kara's step sister. Oh this is a magnificent secret,"  I thought. I rubbed my hands on the thought that I could take on a revenge.
