Truth

Chapter 2

We walk into Costa and the place was quite busy. I walk up to the counter and a young women greets me.

"Hello can I help?" she asks.

"Um yeah. Can I have a small chocolate milkshake and 3 chocolate brownies, and can I have the brownies in a bag please." I said shyly.

"Of course anything else?"

"Yes have you got a phone book or something called yellow pages?"

"Yes hold on" she searches about and hands me a massive yellow page book. I pay and I go and sit in the corner with Riley. She is all happy now drinking her milkshake and she reminds me so much of Katie.

"My mom is away on trip. I'm staying with my auntie and uncles just now" Riley blurts out.

"Okay, what is their last name?" I ask flicking through the yellow pages.

"Dolan!" she yells, and I freeze. It can't be. She can't be related to The Dolan Twins. I keep flicking through and I find the name Dolan, with a address and a phone number. Holy crap! They live too doors up from me. No it can't be them.
I pull out my phone and dial the number.

"Hello" I hear a women on the other end. It sounded like she has been crying.

"Um hello, is this Mrs Dolan?"

"Look hun. We are not buying. Goodbye"

"No, no, no I'm not selling. I think I have found your neice. Riley?"

"Oh god yes! Is she OK?"

"She is absolutely fine. I will be bringing her home. My name is Arianna, and I have just moved two doors down from you"

"Oh my god thank you"

We hang up and I take Riley's hand and we start to walk back home.

After about 20 minutes I can't get Riley to shut up. She has been making me laugh and dancing about the whole way home. I'm starting to think that milkshake was a mistake. We finally reach my street and I see a police car near my house. Oh no! I walk further down and Aliayia comes running out.

"Hey girl what took you so long? Who's the kid?" she asks. I hand her the brownies.

"Here take these, I will back in a minute and explain everything" and I walk past her.
We finally reach the house with the police car in front of it. I look to the door and see a women sitting on the steps crying, and a younger girl, she looks about my age, sitting beside her with her arm wrapped around the older women. I also see a young boy lying on the ground, he looks about Riley's age and.... Holy shit! I see The Dolan Twins. I froze.

"Riley!" the older women screams and runs over to us. She picks up Riley and swings her about and I can't help but smile. I remember my mum used to do that to me. I start to tear up at the thought when the women pulls be back to reality.
"Thank you so much for bringing her home. You must be Arianna?" she said.

"No it's absolutely fine and yes but call me Ari" I reply and I shake her hand.

"My name is Lisa. Please come and meet my family" I nod at her and walk over the the others in front of the door. As we do a police officer walks out.

"Ma'am can I have a word?" he said looking to me and I nod. I hate the police ever since I got involved with them. No don't go down that road!
"How did you find Riley?" he asks me pulling out his notepad and pen.

"Um well I went to go and find a café and I heard her crying. I went into Costa and asked for the yellow pages and found the house. It's actually a couple of doors up from mine." he writes this all down.

"That's not a American accent?" he asked in a questioning tone.

"Your right it's not" I said sarcastically. He just nods at me then walks away and got into his car. I look to The Twins. Ethan looks so hot! He has always been my favourite.

"These are my son's Ethan and Grayson" Lisa said to me and all I thought was I already know that.

"Um yeah I know who you guys are. I watched you on YouTube a few times" I said blushing and Ethan rolls his eyes. OK?

"And this is my daughter Cameron and this is my nephew Christian. Riley's twin brother."

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Arianna but call me Ari" Cameron comes over and shakes my hand and Grayson gives me a hug, probably because I'm a fan, but Ethan just stood there.
"Right I better get back to my family" I said to Lisa with a smile.

"Oh please, come over for dinner tonight" she said and Ethan threw his arms in the air and walked inside, then Grayson followed.

"Um are you sure?" I ask.

"Oh ignore Ethan, he is just moody please come" Cameron said and I nodded.

"And please invite your mum and dad" she said and I froze. It still hurts when someone mentioned them. All I did was nod. I give Riley a hug and walk to my house. I look back at the dolan's house and look up to the window, and I see Ethan staring at me. He is very intimidating.

I walk into my house and Aliayia is sitting on the stairs.
"So what happened?" she asks.

I take a deep breath and explain.
