Ding dong.
" Clara, will you open the door, I'm busy making cake " my mum screamed from the kitchen. I was relieved I could open the door safely.
Once I opened it, Ally and Ray jumped into my house and sang a happy birthday song. They threw confetti all around and put garlands around me. Ray put a crown on my head and said I looked like a real princess now. Vincent comfirmed that.
My mum must have heard them sing so she was on her way to the living room: " Clara, who's there? " she sang. She entered the living room and looked shocked.
" Aunt Isabel? " Ally asked, looking shocked in my mum's direction.
" Do I know you? " my mum asked, crossing her arms and having a severe look on her face.
" What's happening here? " I asked, while Ray just kept quiet, just like Vincent.
" It's me, Ally, Ally Reynolds! "
" I don't know any person with the last name Reynolds "
" Yes you do, your husband's "
" That's Jacob Finley " she said, her voice was full of anger. I could hear that.
" Jacob? " I asked. My dad's name is not Jacob. It's Marc.
" Yes, Clara. Would you all please leave the house, thank you "
Why? What was happening?
" Mum why? "
" Yes, this is a sweet 16 party! " Ray said. She had been looking forward to it, I knew that.
" I don't care, just leave " she said, her voice getting louder.
" Come on, mum, you can't just throw them out of the house " I said, I started getting mad.
" LEAVE " she said way too loud.
Ally took her bag and left the house with tears in her eyes. I was so angry at my mum right now. How could she do something like that?! And why did she do that?! Millions of questions popped up into my head.
Vincent and Ray didn't know what they had to do. But I did.
" Please, leave, all of you " my mum said, putting her hands on her head.
Vincent and Ray left and I followed them. Before I closed the door my mum asked: " Clara, what are you gonna do?! "
" You told all of us to leave, so bye " I smashed the door close.
***
The moment kept replaying in my mind, but I didn't care because now I know why me and Ally fixed our friendship. We're family!
We arrived and I jumped out of the car as I smashed the doorbell.
The door opened and Ally looked at me confused.
" Ally! ", I breathed heavily of sprinting to the door, " we are cousins! " I shouted.
Her eyes widened and she just couldn't believe what I said. So I continued: " my mum is your aunt Isabel! "
" Wow, what? " she said, confused as she was.
" You're my cousin, Ally " I said once again.
