"Okay. LookBreannayou'renotourbiologicaldaughteryou'reactuallyLeighndJamesRatliff'sdaughterthatmeansthatyouhaveanolderbrotheryourbrotherisEllingtonRatliffascientistkidnappedyouandtreatedyoulikealabratandthentheyusedapotiontomakeyouyoungerandtoeraseyourmemoryandsoldyoutousyournamehappenstobeCeceliaEleanorRatliff." Carla said.

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down!" I said.

Carla sighed and said,"Look Breanna you're not our biological daughter you're actually Leigh -and James Ratliff's daughter that means that you have an older brother your brother is Ellington Ratliff a scientist kidnapped you and treated you like a lab rat and then they used a potion to make you younger and to erase your memory and sold you to us. Your name happens to be Cecelia Eleanor Ratliff."

I was shocked and my mouth hung 2 stories low (not literally :p)

"Honey! Say something!" Carla told me.

"I'm sorry I'm just shocked. So why are you telling me this all of a sudden?" I said.

"It's alright. I told you this because this morning when I went upstairs to check up on you, you were growing back to how you're supposed to be. And it's your decision if you want to go live with your real family." Carla said.

"Could I go live with my family?" I asked.

"I'm glad you said that because I already called a moving truck and I also got you a car." Carla said.

"YOU GOT ME A CAR??? HOW ON EARTH AM I GONNA DRIVE?!?! I'VE BEEN STUCK IN 12 YEAR OLD'S BODY FOR SO LONG I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DRIVE!!" I yelled.

Raymond and Carla covered their ears.

"Calm down bud. I'll teach you how to drive once you're done packing all your stuff." Raymond said.

"Alright," I said.

I ran out the room and started packing my clothes in my luggages [Carla bought me them when we went to live in Mexico for 2 years].

*<recap over>*

Cece's POV:

I was already upstairs in my room. I looked for my phone and remembered it was in my clutch. I opened my clutch and texted Jenna and all my friends that I'm moving.

-(text message for her friends excluding Rydel)-

Me: hey guys. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm moving in with my real brother, ELLINGTON LEE RATLIFF!!! I'm actually 17..

-(text message sent)-

-(text message for Rydel)-

Me: hey Delly! That's my nickname for you. I've been kinda kicked out. Do you any hotel near you guys that I could stay at? xx

-(text message sent)-

A few seconds later Delly texted back. I swear, I love how she texts back.

-(text conversation)-

Delly: yeah, but I want you to stay at our house. I'm going to ask my parents if you could stay. Brb xx

Me: okay xx

[a few seconds later]

Delly: My parents said yes!! You could stay at our place as long as you want. xx

Me: aww thanks but you shouldn't have xx

Delly: hey you're my friend. I'm not gonna let you live in a hotel xx

Me: aww thanks I'll just pack my stuff and I'll go

Delly: I'll call you to give you directions to our house xx

Me: okay xx

-(text conversation over)-

I packed everything really fast. I put my electronics in a bag and stuffed them in the front pocket of my luggage. I had everything in 30 minutes. Who knew packing up was so easy? I ran to Raymond's room and knocked on his door. Raymond opened the door.

"Ready to learn how to drive?" He asked me.

"Yeah!" I said.

~* (skipping how to drive cuz I don't plan on learning anytime soon lol c:)

The driving lessons were a success. All I need is my license and I'm ready. I texted Delly to call me, since I'm ready to drive to her house. I started the car.

*phone conversation*

Me: hey Delly

Delly: Hey Bree

Me: my name is actually Cecelia Eleanor Ratliff

Delly: OH MY GOSH!! YOU'RE RELATED TO R5'S RATLIFF?!?!

Me: yeah.

Delly: so where are you coming from?

Me: E 25 St Los Angeles, CA (A/N: I don't know if there's such thing as this street in LA but I should know cuz I always go to LA.)

Delly: oh, you're not far from us. Just 5 minutes away

Me: Really?

Delly: Honest.

Me: Focus! The directions.

Delly: go left on Colby Pl

Me: okay

Delly: keep going straight

Me: alright

Delly: now go right on Flower Road

Me: done that

Delly: I think I see your car

Me: I don't know much a bout cars.. Is it a red one?

Delly: yeah. Hold on, don't move. I'm going to stand in front of the house.

Me: okay talk to you in a couple of seconds. Hugs.

Delly: okay. Hugs.

*phone conversation over*

I saw Rydel come out of a white, 2 story house. I parked on the street and ran out with my 3 luggages. One was a carry-on, the other two are the ones with wheels. I went up to her dropped my carry-on on the floor and pulled her into a bear hug.
