Truth

Chapter 23

We stayed on the room for about 20 minutes with me just crying. I'm so glad to always have Aliayia, she has been my best friend since I was 3 years old, well that's how far back I could remember. Plus we are born in the same year and our birthdays aren't that far apart so we always do joint ones. I don't know where I would be without her.

"Hun Ethan told me what happened. Why would you say that stuff" she said lifting my head up.

"Because I shouldn't be with him" my voice was shallow.

"Yes you should. Come Ari he has made you so happy. This is the first time I have seen you smile in nearly 2 years"

"It's too late, I've pushed him away. He shouldn't be with someone like me."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Oh come on. This is Ethan Dolan we are talking about. Hot shot 18 year old you can have any girl on the plant. Most of them much more pretty than me and..... " Aliayia cuts me off by smacking me over the head.

"Ari you have to stop putting yourself down all the time, Ethan loves you for who you are and you pushed him away"

"What else was I ment to do, he is better off without me"
Aliayia was about to say something else when we heard a bang in the next room. What the hell is Debbie doing in there?

"For God sake, is she not away yet?" Aliayia said rather irritated. I shook my head and wiped away my tears, as I do Aliayia stands up and storms into the next room. I can hear them shouting about every little thing. I better step in before someone ends up in hospital. I stand up and walk into the room where I see Debbie has Aliayia pinned to the wall. I quickly run over to them and pull Debbie off.

"What the fuck do you think your doing, you stupid cow!" I shout at her standing in front of Aliayia.

"You need to start showing me respect Aliayia, and stop speaking to me like dirt!" Debbie shouts.

"She can speak to you in anyway and in any tone! We both have zero respect for you right now. Now I suggest you leave my house before I really do something I will regret!" I shout back and Aliayia said nothing. It's not like her?

"I have phoned a cab. It will be here in 20 minutes. You guys will just have to deal with me until then" and without another word the walked downstairs with her suitcase. I turn and look to Aliayia who is pale as a ghost.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"I was trying to hide this and she was trying to see it" Aliayia said. She wasn't really making sence. I look at her hand I see she is holding a old photo.

"What's that?" I asked. She lifted her hand up and handed me it. I looked at the photo and it was two babies wrapped in blankets.
"OK? So why were you trying to hide this?" I asked looking at her confused.

"Read the back" Aliayia's voice was really shallow. I look back down at the photo and I turned it over.
It read:

My two beautiful daughters. I just hope one day you will both forgive me X

I look back up to Aliayia who had tears rolling down her cheek.

"Hun are you saying that you have a sister?" this is big news, Aliayia is a only child.

"No, I'm saying..... I think I have a twin" her voice was shallow. I look back at the photo and the babies do look about the same age, and they do look similar.
"What do I do?" she asks and I hug her tight.

"You find out the truth." I said and with that she pulls out my hug, takes the photo out my hands and runs downstairs.

There is definitely a storm coming.
