Hey, Angel. (Ashton's missing twin)

Chapter Fourteen. [edited!]

//Angela (Angel)//

Anne opened the door with Ashton following behind closely. As Ashton enters the house, I hear two very excited squeals who I assume belong to Lauren and Harry. I let Calum and Michael walk in, leaving Luke and I to enter last and remain in the entryway.

"You alright?" Luke nudges me.

"I guess so, its just a bit strange." Once the boys have dispersed I have a clear view of Ashton and his siblings, and to say seeing them together was overwhelming would be an understatement. Seeing him with his mom, Lauren, and Harry was like seeing what I could've been a part of. I could've had siblings, people to talk to who would always be there for me. Instead I was taken by m- Amy, and raised at home while she worked constantly. I know that she loved me and still does, but I can tell that Anne would have loved me just as much as she loves her other children, which I can see is a lot. They all look so happy together.

They were catching up with Ashton and still hadn't noticed my presence yet, apparently he doesn't make it home often. Even though they haven't seen him in a while, they all still seem so close and it's clear how much they all love each other. I suddenly felt someones thumb on my cheek, and turned to see Luke giving me a sympathetic smile.

"I'm okay." I whispered so only he could hear me. He gave me a look that told me he definitely knew I was lying to him but I ignored it, forcing my eyes to stop watering and looking back over to Ashton. He was looking at Luke and I with a bit of a confused expression.

"Hey, guys." Ashton has been kneeling on the floor to talk to Harry and Lauren better and now wrapped an arm around each of them. "Remember how mum and I said I was going to the hospital to get a test done before I came home?"

"It wasn't a bad test was it?" Lauren looks at her brother in concern.

"No, not at all little one. C'mere let me tell you a story." Anne reassures them and leads them into the living room, sitting down on the couch. Lauren sits next to her mum, with Harry sat next to her, and Ashton on the other end of the couch.

"When I had your older brother, I was actually having twins." Their mum confesses.

"What happened to the other one?" Harry asks and Lauren nods, indicating she's wondering the same.

Michael, Calum, Luke and I were still standing in the hall outside the living room. Michael smiles at me like he feels bad that I had to be here while it was being explained. Then merely joins Calum in listening to the story. I'm assuming that they've never heard what happened to me either. Luke drapes his right arm over my shoulders to comfort me and I smile at him before returning my attention to the family in the living room.

"I had your sister before I had Ash, and once we had Ash the doctor told me that your sister had been taken away."

"Well who took her?" Lauren asks, seeming more mad then just upset.

"We don't know honey." Anne rubs Laurens back and Harry speaks up from beside Ashton.

"What's her name?"

"Angel." Ashton answers and wraps an arm around his little brother, using his other hand to point at me. Harry slowly catches on and looks at where Ashton was pointing, locking eyes with me.

"You found her?" That caught Lauren's attention and she looks at me as well.

"Yes, we did. I went to the hospital to have a test to see if-" Ashton couldn't get any other words out before Harry bolted towards me. My eyes widen and I almost step back, but decide to stay put. Anne seems alarmed, I know she's worried that I'll get too overwhelmed and leave but I'm not planning on it.
