feeling the soft and cold sand underneath my bare feet and sam and i walked around on the beach hand in hand was so peaceful and i wish it was like this for a while.

"let's sit here" i said taking a seat next to sam a few feet away from the water. "can i tell you something" i nod telling him to continue while i still kept my gaze on the ocean slapping against the huge rocks.

"i'm in love with you" sam tells me proudly causing me to turn to look at him. "i'm in love with you too" i smile pecking his lips then quickly turning my gaze to the water.

music was soon captured with my ears as smooth music played quietly from somewhere near. i turned over to sam who was standing in front of me holding his hand out for me to take.

"may i have this dance" i smiled and took his hand as i rose up to my feet to be pulled close to his chest.

sam hummed along to the music playing not far from here as we rocked back and forth to the slow music savoring the moment.

"who knew boys could be soft" i joked to lighten some of the silence. "stop" he blushed playfully pushing me. "you know i'm just joking with you" i smiled wrapping back around his neck as he placed his arms around my waist taking us back to slow dancing.

"you know i love you, right?" i nodded my head softly keeping it still on his chest while we still rocked back and forth. "yeah, you've told me once or twice. by once or twice, i mean maybe a couple of hundred times" i said looking gorgeous pools of green. "quoting justin, i see" sam smirks looking down at my short five four figure compared to his six foot figure.

"maybe" i grin sheepishly. "i l--" i was cut off by my phone ringing and buzzing loud and obnoxiously. "i love you too" i told quickly before answering my phone to see my mom was the one who ruined the moment.

"hey mom" i answered turning away from the crashing water to try and hear better. "mija, did you forget about something" she asks and i make sure to trace my memory before answering. "no, why?" i asked still confused as to what i forgot. "dinner. does that ring any bells?" and in that moment, i knew what i had forgotten.

"oh yeah, i totally remembered that" i try to play it off, earning an mhm from her side of the line. "anyway, we'll be there soon" i told her then hung up the phone after we said our goodbyes.

sam had raised eyebrows and a confused look on his face in a way of asking what happened. "almost forgot about sunday night dinner" i answered stuffing my phone back into my front pocket.

sam and i walked hand in hand back towards the car to head to my house.

as we got to the sidewalk that separates the beach and road, i stopped in tracks causing sam to stop too.

i dusted off the sand off the bottoms of my feet and tried to hurry to push my feet into my shoes so sam wouldn't rush me but obviously i was too slow for him because instead of letting me finish putting on my shoes, he grabbed my shoes from and picked my body up bridal style like i was a feather.

"yay! i'm a princess!!" i shouted at the top of my lungs like a child earning a few stares from people that were taking night strolls. "woops" i shrugged my shoulders as we finally made it to the car.

sam put me inside the car and laid my shoes next to my feet before shutting the door and running over to his side to get in.

once the car started up, no role modelz played by j cole.

"she don't want to be saved, don't save her. she don't want to be saved, don't save her" i sung along to the radio while grabbing sam's left hand and kissing on the knuckle part.

"we're here" i shouted walking inside the house but got no response. the smell of ribs flew into my nose making my way to the backyard knowing that that it's coming from.

"oh hey loves" my mom smiles at us before taking a sip of her wine. "hey mom" i smiled walking over to give her a kiss on the cheek and a side hug.

"i'm going to change and then i'll go make the two side dishes" i informed her then made my way back into the house and upstairs to my room.

i got dressed in a walg cut out khaki bodycon dress, that had a cold shoulder type of design to it, and paired that with a pair of steve madden amandaa lug bottom platform booties.

i put on a black watch and necklace that had a small heart design on it then i was done.

i headed downstairs with sam and he walked out to the backyard to help damian cook the meat while me and my mom cooked the dishes and i set the table.

"dinners ready boys" my mom shouted out the sliding glass door while i dimmed the lights and served the food onto all four plates.

after dinner we all decided we would watch a movie and ended up watching some movie my mom and damian picked out which wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

in the middle of the movie, my mom spoke up getting everyone's attention. "sweetheart, i almost forgot but you have some mail on the table" my mom announced to me and me being curious decided to see what it was since i hardly get mail.

i picked up the medium sized envelope with my name on it and opened to see a letter and some pictures.

i looked at the pictures to see a girl who looked absolutely stunning and someone i had never seen before.

i moved my eyes over to the letter and began to read it.

dear kayden,

i'm going to get this over with, just rip the bandaid off. i'm your sister, we both have the same dads just different moms (obviously). i feel terrible about how our dad left your mom to be with my mom and i hope you are doing okay without him.

you are probably wondering how i got your address? i snuck into our dads office in my house and went on his computer and see he had a file with your name and your mom's name on it so i peaked and got your information and found out you are only a year older than me and you just got out of high school.

i also read that you live in omaha, nebraska which is pretty far from where i live which is san jose, california and that sucks but i think if you were willing to meet me, it'd be totally awesome to meet you.

anyways, i'm done taking your time.

happy living, kayden.

yours truly, karli delavega❤️.

i looked at the letter in disbelief.

"baby, you okay" sam asks coming next to me while i still there. "i-i have a s-sister" i told him standing there not moving a muscle. "what a--" a sudden rage came upon me as i remembered the letter saying that he had a file on me and my mom.

i let out an irritated scream then crumpled up the pictures and letter and tossed on the floor and stomping my way upstairs and up to my room.

i can't believe this.
