Hey, Angel. (Ashton's missing twin)

Chapter Nine. [edited!]

(Picture above is the person who plays Mason, only he's older in the story. xx)

|Angela (Angel)| 

Mrs. Kings daughter Rachel, along with her son Mason, had arrived a few hours ago. Mrs. King had asked me to send her a clear picture of myself shortly after we'd finished our pizza yesterday and Alex and I had spent the entire day today doing everything and anything we could to make the most of our last day together. Not that it would be our last day together ever again, but just for a while. We'd just finished eating our loaded nachos when Mason and Rachel showed up, then we ordered some take out to eat with them. In our defense, Alex and I hadn't eaten all day until we were done shopping.

"We'd better get going if we're gonna make the flight back, not that I'm really looking forward to another 20 hour flight." Mason chuckles.

"I'm sorry you guys had to be bored on a plane for so long only to pick me up and do it all over again." I bite my lip. Mason only smiles at me, his younger sister doing the same.

"It's no problem really, I slept for most of it and our mom wanted you to be safe. She said you're a really important patient, and you must be if she's trusting you to be around us for a full day." He laughed. "But we really do have to get going or we'll miss our flight."

"Thank you for dinner Mr. Jameson." Rachel says, shaking his hand before Mason does the same. They both back up a bit and stand by the front door, waiting for me to say my goodbyes.

"I'll miss you guys so much, I'll be back soon." I say, turning to Alex and her dad with watering eyes.

"You take your time, honey." Mr. Jameson says as he hugs me goodbye. I turn to Alex and she's already crying.

"I'll miss you so so much Angie, you have no idea. Text me when you land, okay? And if you have to get a different phone or use someone else's then just write my number down so you don't forget and-"

"Alex, I won't forget you. I swear on it. Sisters, right?" I hold my pinky out for her and she locks her with mine before pulling me into a tight hug.

A few minutes pass by before Mason clears his throat and apologizes. I bid Alex and her dad one last farewell before leaving with Mason and Rachel, walking to their rental car. Before getting in the front seat next to Mason, I turn and wave to Alex and Mr. Jameson one last time. I really hope all of this is worth it.

The plane ride isn't too bad. Mason is seated to my left and Rachel to my right, I get to know them a bit more before Mason falls asleep after a few hours. Then Rachel and I stay up talking. I tell her about myself and my life in the states, and she tells me about her life. How both her parents were doctors, with very different specialties. And how she was a triplet. That instantly made me feel envy for her, as she'd known both her twins her entire life and I've never met my potential twin.

We still had about 6 or 7 hours before we landed, so Rachel and I decided to use the rest of it to sleep. We're both extremely exhausted, but while Rachel fell asleep within a few minutes, I just can't. I know I'll need my rest since I'd be going straight to the hospital when we get to Sydney, according to Rachel a car will be waiting to take us there and see her mother. I just can't shut my brain off, my mind kept thinking about the Irwins. Who are they? What are they like? If I am their missing family member will they even like me? Do they know what happened to me as a baby? Do they know a woman took me and has been raising me all these years? What if my brother hates me? Has he given up on me? What if I'm not even their's? My mom would be so upset with me if I did all of this and it wasn't even true. I start panicking, maybe this was all for nothing. Maybe I'm not Angel. I'm going to feel so stupid if that's true.
