Chapter Sixteen - "I Can't Do That To You, Sunshine."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Hey mom, dad, I'm home!" I shout once I enter the house. I hear the television and I walk into the living room to a girl around my age sitting on the couch, stuffing her face with chips.

"Who the hell are you?" I ask, dropping my bag beside me. The girl looks at me, looks at my attire then back at the television.

"I could ask you the same question." The girl mutters and I raise my eyebrow at the girl.

"Excuse me, your in my home, eating my chips. I would like to know your name." I say, narrowing my eyes at the girl.

"I'm fine." The girl says and I stare at her. Is this girl for real? Are my parents even home?

"Mom! Dad!" I shout again, walking out of the living room. I see my mom appear at the top of the stairs and I gap at her, pointing towards the living room.

"Who is that?" I ask, annoyed. My mom walks down the stairs and tells me to sit at the counter. Once I sit down, I look at my mother, waiting for an explanation.

"Avery... that's Jade." My mom says, smiling slightly. "Your sister."

Wait, what?

"J-Jade?" I ask and my mother nods, tears forming in her eyes. I gap at her.

Jade is my long-lost sister. When she was born, my mom loved her. Since she was her first child, my mom adored Jade until one day. Jade started to change as she growed up. When she turned four, she started to become violent and abusive towards everyone. She couldn't even start school because my mom was afraid that she would start to hit the kids so she gave Jade to my grandmother - my mother's mom - to look after her for a while since my mom didn't know what to do with such a strange child. When Jade turned eight though, she ran away and thats when my mom didn't see her again.

Since I was born a year after she was born, I didn't get along with Jade very well because apparently, she wanted to be an only child. I, on the other hand, wanted to make peace with Jade and be her friend but she didn't want that so she started to hit me too. This was also another reason why my mom had to give Jade to her mother because she didn't want her hurting me or even killing me.

Anyway, we never saw Jade again. My mom called everyone; friends, family... police. They never found her though. The police came to the conclusion that Jade was dead but my mom didn't believe them. She said that it just wasn't possible. When Joshua was born - two years after I was born - my mom decided not to tell him about Jade since Joshua only had Jade in his life for about five years and Joshua doesn't remember the first six years of his life for some reason so yeah, my mother didn't bother explaining him or telling him that he had an older sister - except me - in his life.

"Who found her?" I ask and my mom smiles again, a tear running down her cheek.

"When she ran away, she ran to a cottage where an old lady lived. She looked after her for nine years until your grandmother saw her walking around the shops and thats when she contacted me. Avery... she's living with us." My mom says, more tears running down her cheeks. I can't help but smile.

"Thats... amazing." I say, hugging my mother. She nods.

"I know." I let go of my mom and walk into the living room again.

"Jade?" I ask and her head turns to me, shock filling her face.

"I'm Avery, your younger sister." I say, tears filling my own eyes. Jade stands up, her brown hair bounces up with her. I notice that she has a lip piercing and a nose piercing. Her brown eyes stare into mine and she walks towards me, a small grin on her lips.
