Thanksgiving Surprise

The Message

Once I got home I started up the stairs until I heard noise coming from upstairs. I went up to my sister's room and saw Stacie.

"What are you doing here and how did you get here?"

"Your sister let me in."

"But how did you get here so fast?"

"John drove me."

"Ohh. I must have forgotten."

I went into my room and saw John sitting at my desk.

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to, you know,go back on a date?"

I slammed the door to my room and stomped into my sisters room. I peeked in and didn't see Stacie or my sister. So I walked in and sat on her bed. Did I ever mention that Jessica is a neat freak? I saw papers that were on desk so I looked at them.

Mom: you know that Sara has an another older sister Right?

Jessica: No

Mom: Her name is Ally and Lizzy . Their both girls. Ally is older that Sarah and Lizzy is the youngest. I hope you guys can meet each other. Ally's number is (674)638-2346. Bye! Love you!

What? I don't understand. I have 2 more sisters.I grabbed a posty note from my sister NEAT FREAK pile and scribbled down the number and stuffed it into my pocket. I jumped when the door started to open. I dropped the papers and jumped onto her bed. When I was on the bed, Jessica asked,

"What are you doing here?"

"John's in my room."

"So? Go talk to him."

"Why? He's just going to ask me out on a date. He wants to take me out. He knew about Stacie feeling about this"

"Just get out of my room."

I walked out of her room and thought about what was on her desk. We have MORE siblings?! I already have to deal with Jessica. I think that's enough. I walked to the door of my room and didn't see John inside.

"JOHN?? Where are you? If you're trying to scare me, I'm NOT in the mood."

John stepped out.

"Are you okay?"

"No."

I thought about what would happen if I tell him what I saw but my fears beat me to it. I than started crying.

"Are you okay Sarah?"

"No, not exactly. Can you keep a secret for me?"

"Yeah. Sure."

"Okay."

I explained what I saw and he sat down in my chair. He started shoving questions at me.

"Are you joking?"

"No."

"Are you going to call or text the number?"

"Maybe."

"Why didn't your sister tell you?"

"She just got the text today and it says that my mom is alive. But my HUGE question is, Is my dad alive?"

I laid down on my bed and heard footsteps.
