My Long Lost Sister

Chapter 9

-Hey guys! Sorry this took so long, I've been busy xoxx. Well here it is!!!-

-Leia-

Millions of thoughts and emotions flowed through my inexplicably confused brain at that very moment. Was this Liam's mom? What do I exactly say to her? Why the hell does she look like my older twin? What do I do now? I didn't know how to react so I just stood there; frozen, not able to utter a single word. It was good that Liam's mom decided to speak first, cause I wasn't sure if my mouth would be able to move, let alone function properly.

"and you are?" she simply said, staring at me.

"I'm....Leia" I said, managing a small smile, "Liam invited me here.....your son?". 

"I am aware who Liam is" she said, " but why did he invite you here?".

"Well, I'm from Greenwood orphanage, and it burned down today, me and my friend Katie weren't exactly sure where to go so Liam asked us to stay......" I didn't know if I could finish the sentence. I was too focused on this woman's eyes, which looked so similar to mine it was scary. I held out my hand, "so, yeah, I'm Leia" I spoke again.

As soon as she saw me put my hand out and million emotions fluttered along her face. You might say it is impossible for that to happen, but it did. I couldn't explain it. I saw grief and happiness and sadness and a billion other things at that very moment. I'm not sure why, but I knew I saw it.

"Is something wrong?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

I was almost positive I saw tears begin to etch in her pale green eyes, waiting to come out. What the hell was going on?

Why can't for once something make sense? All I have even been in my life was confused. I WAS TIRED OF BEING CONFUSED.

Right as I was about to ask her, Liam and the boys stepped in.

"Ohkay then" Liam said stepping in between, "mom, this is Leia, Leia this is my mom".

"We've met" I said, still staring at Liam's mom who looked like she was about to cry.

The room began silent for a few minutes. You know how there's usually 2 kind of silences. One where, its completely comfortable and you don't feel weird about it. Then there's a silence that's completely and utterly awkward. That was how it felt like right now.

Awkward.

And frankly, I don't know exactly why.

Then all of a sudden, Liam's mom grabbed me and pulled my body towards her wrapping me in a hug, she then said the words, "I can't believe its you".

-Liam-

Out of all the horrible situations I could imagine, this was definitely the worst.

All I could think was ;

hell.

Leia didn't know she was my sister yet, and I'm pretty sure she had enough  excitement for one day and omg what if my mom tells her and she goes into some kind of shock and oh god I think I'm gonna throw up.

I took a deep breath and looked at the boys, "why don't you guys help Leia and Katie get ready for bed, they've had a long enough day, I'll get mum some dinner".

The boys just nodded and led, Leia upstairs. She shot me a weird look as she followed Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn along the staircase. When they disappeared upstairs I let out a huge breath, my shoulders loosening.

My mum, just stared at me. Then she began to cry. Slowly through sniffled sobs she asked me, "is that her? That girl?".

I just nodded, "yeah".
