Invisible Twin *Completed*

Chapter 12.

I stared at my parents in shock until Cass broke the silence.

'What?' She asked dumbfounded.

'I'm sorry girls, we never wanted to tell you.' My mom sputtered, her blue eyes bright with tears.

Cass has her blue eyes. She looks like a miniture of my mom.

And I don't, I never did.

Cass and I are fraternal twins, and we never did look alike. But I just thought that I got my looks from an aunt or someone.

In turns out that my looks are inherited by a diffrent mother and father and grandmother, and whoever.

I didn't doubt what my parents told me at all. They wouldn't tell me something that wasn't true, I believed this with my whole heart.

'How is Chris adopted? You were pregnant with twins and when you showed us the new babies, at the hospital, you showed us twins. Chris and Cass.' Vanna asked.

'It was true that we were pregnant with twins. But one was a still born. And the other was perfectly fine, that was you, Cassidey. And we were all ready to tell all of you that we lost one of the babies, when a miracle happened. A nurse was coming down the hallway just as I excited the hospital room. I had seen her earlier, and she stopped to ask me how Diane and the babies were. And I told her that one of the babies was a still born, she explained how she had just taken an abandoned baby to the baby center. And this nurse eventually asked me if we wanted the abandoned baby, if we wanted to adopt her. And I went and talked to Diane, and she said yes. So we did the paperwork that we needed to do upfront. Of course later on we had visits from a social worker, to make sure baby Chris was alright, and more paper work. But at the time we had our twin girls, and not many people knew the truth. That they weren't twins at all, and that they weren't even related. That Cassidey was our blood child, and Christine was our child only through adoption.' My dad said softly.

The room was quiet, the only sound heard was crying.

Cass wasn't my twin.

We weren't related.

I wasn't related to Cass or Allison or Vanna or Mathew or my mom or my dad. Or any of my cousins or aunts and uncles or anybody I thought I was related to before today.

'I'm so sorry kids.' My mom said, as a few tears fell down her face.

'I can't believe you two! The way you two treat me and Chris diffrently than Vanna or Allison or Cass or Mathew is so horrible. We now know why you treat Chris diffrently, because she isnt even your daughter. And thats just sick, it really is. This didn't even start when Cass got sick, it just got worse after she got sick.

I didn't do anything wrong and neither did Chris. So why treat us diffrent? Chris was always the invisible twin, the invisible daughter. And before I started to get into trouble, I was invisible too. You guys only cared about me when you needed help with any of the younger kids. It just isn't fair. And yeah, I know life isn't fair. But this isnt the way you should treat your children.' Allison said, her voice sad.

I would think that she would be pissed, but she just looked sad.

'I'm really sorry about any of that. I-We didnt mean to, we really didnt. It just happened-' My mom started in a frantic voice.

But I didn't want to hear anything my parents said any longer. I was confused and really I was kind of mad.

Mad because of the way my parents treated me.

Mad because I never got to do the things my siblings could do, just because my parents said I couldnt time after time.

And just mad because I wasn't my parents child.

Mad because they didn't tell me.

And I knew i shouldn't be, most of this stuff I wasn't mad about before today, well the stuff I knew about.

But now I was.

And I didn't want to hear any excuses from my parents, even though I knew they meant well.

I didn't care.

I was out of my seat before my mom was even finished talking. And I was out of the hospital room before anybody could yell after me.

I walked down the hallway, with tears blurring my vision.

I just wanted to get out of there.

But I didn't know where I was going to go. I just wanted to leave.

Before I got to the end of the hallway, I saw Vanna out of my perephial vision.

She was the last person I thought would come after me.

'Chris.'

'Chris. Wait up!'

Vanna came up beside me, and easily wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close to her. I leaned my head to her chest.

'I'm sorry, Chris. I'm so sorry.' Vanna whispered. I could hear the tears in her voice.

I didn't awnser, and she didn't try to talk to me after that. She just held me in her arms and let me cry.

And I did, cry.

I don't know how long the two of us stood in that hallway, crying, before we went back to Cass's hospital room.

This time I didn't run away.

We walked back into Cass's room, and I let my mom and dad and Allison hug me. And then I walked over to Cass's bed and I hugged my twin sister.

Because genetics or not, Cass is still my sister. And my mom is still my mom and so on.

And when I was thinking rationally, I knew I could never be mad at my family too long.

My parents didnt tell us to protect us, regardless there first decision.

Cass would always be my twin sister.

And thats all that mattered.

I wasnt the 'Invisible Twin' or 'Cass's Sister' or 'The troublemakers sister'.

I was just Chris.

The End.

Hey guys! When I started writting this book, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to end it. But I'm pretty sure I didn't envision my last chapter of Invisible Twin like this. But it all fits. So, I hope to see all of you in the epilouge and maybe some of my other stories.
