Reunited

Chapter 2

Charlotte's POV
I awoke the next morning quite early.
Alexis was still sleeping.
I was still in my clothes from yesterday. Okay, so it's so far not looking like a dream.
I picked up my laptop and went back to check my emails.
'Oh my goodness. I have waited years to hear from you. I can't believe I'm finally hearing from my baby girl. If it's okay with you, I want to talk to your parents and meet you. I want explain everything and make things right. I feel awful for sending you away but I had no other choice. Listen, I'll speak to your parents.
I love you with all my heart, baby girl.
All my love, mum x'
I sat in total shock.
I really was Margot Robbie's little sister.
What just happened?
"Charlotte!" 'Mum' screeched from downstairs. I dropped my laptop, disturbing Alexis, and ran down to the office.
"What the hell. Why were you going through my emails?" She looked so mad. 'Dad' stood above her, with crossed arms.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me I was adopted?" I yelled. "And tell me who my family was? Margot Robbie?!" My voice became squeaky and high.
"We didn't tell you because we thought it would be best. And now I've got an email from Sarie telling me she'll be in London, staying at Margot's today. She left at 7am Australian time."
"I want to meet her." I said timidly.
Dad held his head in his hands.
"Fine. We will set a meeting up. This doesn't mean you'll be living with her."
"I know." I said.
"Go to school and we'll let you know what's happening." Mum said.
I walked back up to my bedroom and got dressed.
After shoving my uniform on, I brushed my teeth and hair then did light makeup.
I shoved the books I needed into my bag and lay down on my bed.

Alexis came into the room from the bathroom, all dressed and her makeup was done.
Alexis is one of the girls who goes full out makeup, with the contouring and highlight, even for school. She had the generic double French braids, while I had a loose ponytail.

After breakfast, we left for school.

I couldn't stop thinking about what I had just discovered about myself. I was spacing out in every class.
"Hello!" My friend, Lauren, yelled as she tapped my head.
"What?" I said throwing her hands off me.
"Are you still alive?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"You've been spacing out all day and not paying attention. Look." She held her phone up to me and showed me a video of her nephew.

When I got back from school, I found out that Sarie had landed in London and was at Margot's place. I was told that she would be here tomorrow to see me, so I was getting the day off school. Which I was happy about but I missing double English, which is my favourite class.

I went to bed with a feeling of relief.
I've never felt apart of this family, and I never knew why I was different from the others, but now I know why.
