 Alex
I wake up to my mom calling me. 

"What?" I groan sitting up. 

"Wake up Sid. We are going to meet your mother." She yells from downstairs. I stand up and walk into Sid's room she was up and Hunter was asleep.

 "I heard." She sighs crawling on top of Hunter and pinning him down. She licks his face. 

"EWWW!" He screams trying to get out of her grip. She giggles and gets off of him. 

"You coming with us to meet our parents?" I ask him. 

"Duh." He laughs. Sid pushes me and Hunter out so she can change. 

"So do I call you Liam or do I call you Alex?" He asks while we wait. 

"Alex." I laugh. He nods and I go into my room to change I best Sid. 

"HURRY UP!" My mom screams from downstairs. 

"We're waiting for Sid," I say back. I knock on the door and open it. 

"Sis..." I say looking around. She was in her bathroom, crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked pulling her into a hug.

 "I'm just so confused and stressed." She sighs. Hunter walks in and hugs her. 

"Are you okay baby girl?" He asks looking down. She sighs and wipes the tears. 

"Yeah, I guess." She says walking out of her room and downstairs we all like into the car and my mom drives us. Sid falls asleep on the way there and Hunter was taking pictures. After about an hour of driving, we finally arrive. I step out of the car to see a women standing in the middle of a field. Sid comes out as well and looks at my mom confused. 

"Is that her?" She asks. My mom nods and Sid takes off running towards her. I follow her. We both run into her open arms. 

"My babies." She says almost in tears. 

"Mom?" Sid says looking up at her. 

"Yes, Sydney?" 

"Stay in touch. Please." She says hugging her tightly. 

"I will baby. I promise." She says hugging us both tightly. 

"Oh Alex your so handsome. And Sydney your so beautiful." She says as a tear rolls down her cheek. 

"Thank you." Me and Sid both say. She was in tears. 

"You guys still have the necklaces?" She asks looking at my neck. 

"You gave these to us?" I ask holding the necklace in my hand. 

"Yes. I gave you both one the day before I left." She smiles. Sid looks down in disappointment.

 "I never got me resized." She says showing her the chain on her wrist. 

"When I gave you those bracelets I told you it was a promise that I would come back. And I will soon I promise." She says as Hunter approaches us. 

"Mom this is Hunter." Sid says introducing them. 

"Your boyfriend?" Mom smiles. Sid blushes but shakes her head no. 

"He's my best friend." She smiles. Hunter puts his arm around Sid. 

"Nice to meet you." He smiles. 

"Mom.. where's Dad?" Sid asks out of nowhere.

 "He's um. In Tennessee. He um just left after a while." She sighs. 

"Tennessee? Nashville?" She asks. 

"Yeah how did you know?" "I live in Nashville." She sighs. Mom looks at her in disbelief. 

"Really??" Sid nods. 

"Wow," Mom says in amazement. 

"And I bet that asshole knew it too." She mumbles. 

"MOM!!" Sid and I scold. She apologizes. We stay for about two hours. Before we leave we both get her phone number to keep on contact. 

"Bye Mom, I'll miss you," Sid calls. 

"Bye Sydney bye Alexander." She says pulling us both into a final hug. We walk back to the car and when we get there Sid looks at me. 

"My whole life's a lie." She groans getting in. 

"Sidd." I sigh pulling her into a hug. 

"You're coming with us when we leave." She says. 

"Why?" I ask confused.

 "Because Alex. I'm not going to see our dad alone." She says.

 "Sid you know what mom said about him. It's a bad idea." I warn her. 

"Are you going to come or not?" She asks. 

"I'll ask." I sigh. I'm not leaving my twin alone. Especially not if she is going to do something so stupid.
