My Life as Liz Jonas

Chapter 16: It All Comes Crumbling Down

LIZ'S POV

"Okay I'm here. What's so important that it can't wait." I say once I find my parents in the lounge area.

"Liz, sit down." My dad says as I look at him confused.

"Alright." I say sitting on the chair across from them.

"How did the whole trying to find out your blood type go?" My mom asks me as I nod.

"It went okay. I found out I was B positive so there's that." I say as they nod and exchange looks. "Was that all you wanted to know?" I ask as they sigh.

"No. Liz what we have to say is really difficult." My mom says as I look at him confused.

"Dad what's going on?" I ask scared while they exchange looks again. "Someone please tell me." I say as they take a deep breath again.

"The doctor that took your blood lied to you. You aren't B positive." My dad says as I grow more confused. "You're O positive." He says as I shake my head.

"Okay my brothers and I are different blood types what does that have to do with anything?" I say to them as my mom takes a deep breath. The truth I knew what was happening but I didn't want to believe it.

"Liz, no one in our family has that type of blood." She says grabbing my hands. "There's no easy way to say this but you were switched at birth." She says as I look at her surprised.

"Mom that's crazy. We don't have the same blood type but maybe there's another explanation." I say as tears begin to form in my eyes.

"The doctor told us that this was the only explanation." My dad says as I shake my head.

"No. No." I say as I get up and run out of the room with tears in my eyes.

"Liz, are you okay?" Someone says as I accidentally bump into them. I look up and see it was Nick. No I can't tell my brothers at least not yet.

"I'm fine." I say as I begin to walk away but Nick reaches for my arm and and pulls me back.

"Clearly not okay. What's going on?" He says to me as I sigh and look at my brothers. I couldn't tell them that I wasn't there sister.

"I can't tell you." I say to them before running off. I kept hearing them call my name while I was bumping into people in the hallways.

"Alyson can you please leave me alone." I say to her once I enter our dressing room. She comes over to me to comfort me but I step back from her. "I just need to be alone please." I say to her as she nods and walks out of the room.

I didn't like any of this one bit. My family isn't who I think they are. My whole life, everything, has been a lie. Sometimes I've felt different but I always thought that it was because I'm girl in a family filled with boys but now I know the truth.

I don't belong in this family. I've never belong in this in family. I may have the singing genes but they definitely weren't from the Jonas family.

I have so many emotions in me but what else do you expect when the people you believed were your parents aren't. I wiped away my tears and pushed everything off the make up table as act of anger.

"No! No! No!" I say as I hit the wall to let my frustration.

"Liz?" I hear my brothers say from the other side of the door. "Liz please let us in." I hear again as I stand there looking at the door.

Standing there I realized something. I'm not the only one who was lied to. This entire family for 12 years has been lied to. I'm not the only one that's hurting. Everyone is.

I reach for the door knob and when I turn it I see my brothers standing there with hurt faces. They knew.

"Why? Why is this happening to us?" I say as I begin to cry and Joe reaches for and embraces me in a hug.

"Liz just know that you're life isn't a lie." Joe says to me as I look at him confused. "We love you. You're our sister. Just because you're not biologically our sister doesn't mean anything." He says to me as I begin to cry again.

"This is all my fault." I say to them as they shake their heads.

"Liz, it's definitely not your fault. You had nothing to do with this." Kevin says to me as I sigh and wipe away my tears.

"You're right." I say as Kevin nods and embraces me in a hug.

"This is a hard time but we're all going to get through this as a family. The family that we grew up in." Kevin says as I hug him.

NORMAL POV

"I'm not sure if that's a bribe or not." Frankie says to his mom as she cooks chocolate chip cookies.

"I'm cooking it for everyone plus Liz is going through a difficult time so she needs a little comfort food." Denise says as Frankie nods.

"I understand." Frankie says as Denise sighs. "Should I call everyone?" He asks as his mom nods.

"Sure go ahead. I'm going to take this up to Liz." Denise says as she walks off.

Last night was a difficult time for everyone and Liz assured everyone that she was okay but in all honesty she wasn't. Liz knew this was all her fault and everyone wanting her to be okay said it wasn't her fault.

"Liz, are you awake?" Denise says knocking on Liz's dressing room door.

"Come in." Liz says as her mom enters the room.

"I made chocolate chip pancakes and I figured you wouldn't want to interact with anyone yet so I brought them to you." Her mom says as she sets the plate down.

"Thanks." Liz says giving her mom a shy smile. "Mom we haven't really gotten the time to talk about what happened last night." She adds as her mom sighs.

"I'm not going to lie, I am upset but nothing changes. You're still my daughter no matter what. We're going to figure everything out as a family." Denise says as Liz smiles.

"Everyone keeps saying that." Liz says as her mom nods.

"Because it's true. Now eat your breakfast cause you have to go to soundcheck in an hour." Denise says before walking away and leaving Liz alone.
