Coming Home

Chapter 5, Meeting My Sister

Yesterday was actually a good one if you don't count the anxiety attack/night terror- what ever the hell it was, I hate those. I got out of bed and opened the curtain. "It's a beautiful day," I say with a smile in my face. I get in the shower and while I'm washing my hair I hum my favorite songs. A few of them being; Sorry, Love Yourself, Apologize, Stay, yeah I listen to a lot. Music is my happy place. When I was done in the shower I towel dried my hair for a bit and then brushed it out so it would air dry the rest of the way. I also put some anti frizz in it since my hair is naturally wavy and can get a bit crazy. I put on my matching maroon bra&panty set from pink. I put on my ripped skinny jeans and then brushed my teeth and put on deodorant before putting on my white shirt. I put on some white flats and did my make up. For today all I did was, a nude lip and some light waterproof mascara. Just then there is a knock on the door. I open the door to see Nathan. "One, what are you doing here? And two, how did you know I was here?" I asked stepping out of my room after putting my phone and keys into my bag. "Well I followed you home from practice last night and I thought you could use a ride. I grab my bag and  lock the door. "That's a bit stalkerish, so no thanks." I say playfully. "Watch that attitude Kierston, it turns me on."
Remembering last night I gasp. Nathan's facial expression instantly goes into concern. "Kiers, I'm so sorry. That was a joke," he says kindly. I just nod and smile moving past it. "That was a joke as well. Wow a guy that's caring, that's pretty hot" I say with a wink. He just smirks.
"Do you still want a ride?"
"No, but could you be a gentleman and walk me to my car?" I ask.
"Anything for the pretty lady."
When we are walking to the car Nathan has his arm around me and his hand on the small of my back. There is that feeling of safety again. He opened my car door for me and before I got in he kissed my cheek. I felt like he did it while looking at somebody else while doing it. "What was that for?"
"Just because," he says and smirks. I'm so confused. I look behind me but don't see anybody. I go to school.

After school I went down to the gym, greeted Whitey, said hi to Lucas and went to find the cheer captain Brooke. "Hey are you Brooke?" I ask a gorgeous brunette who seems to be the only one early to practice. "Yes, and who are you?" I smile and offer my hand. "I'm Kierston. If that's okay id like to join you're squad. If not it's fine but it kinda has sentimental value considering my mother was a cheerleader and I just moved here. I'm also looking for Peyton, I need to meet her to tell her something."
"Well you'll have to try out to be on the squad. As for Peyton, well that's my best friend and anything you need to say to her you can say to me."
"I'm not trying to be rude in any way, it's just very personal. You can be there when I tell her, she'll need a friend like you. I wish I did. You're gorgeous and seem very protective, and kind hearted." It looks like Brooke Davis loves complements because of the smile on her face. Just then Peyton walks in. "Hey P.Sawyer I want you to meet Kierston." I extend my hand "Hi I'm Peyton."
"Okay look, I don't mean to bombard you like this but, there's no way I can really ease into it either. So I'm just gonna rip off the bandage. Well recently I found out that I'm adopted, and that I have a sister."
"Oh I'm sorry, do you want help finding her?" Brooke asks sweetly.
"Thanks but I don't need to find her. Peyton, it turns out that you're my older sister.. Twin actually." The shock and surprise really showed in their faces. "Oh," Peyton says. "Yeah. Look, I'm really sorry but I thought you should know. So I'm gonna go now, I guess I'll see you guys." I begin walking because I really wasn't sure if she wanted to be around me right now. "Hey wait. Would you want to hang out with us. I wanna get to know you if you are in fact my twin. Lets go get a blood test together. It would explain the feeling of something missing from my life," Peyton says smiling. I get the biggest grin on my face. "I would love that. I had the same feeling. The whole in your heart that nobody could fill? I had that too, but it went away when I saw you." Then I looked at Brooke who looked a little jealous and left out. "Hey Brooke. I just want to honestly say that I hope we can become friends. It'd honestly be so great to have a friend like you and also sharing a friend with Peyton at this point would make me feel so much closer to her." She smiles at me.
"Well I think that would be good. You can try out for the squad later this week. Sorry but it's just standards." She says.
"Well that's not a problem, how about Thursday, after school?"
"Sounds great, see you then."
With that we all went our separate ways. Well to our vehicles anyway. Peyton and Brooke rode together and I drove my car. We were on the way to the hospital.

"The test results are going to take a couple days to get back to you," the doctor says.
"That's alright," I say.
"Thank you," says Peyton. "Um kierston, do you want to follow us back to my place? We could hang out for a little bit until you have to go or something."
"That sounds awesome. Of course I will."
We all got into our cars after giving the doctor our information so we could be contacted about the blood tests. I just know that Peyton, Brooke, and I will become very close friends.
