Chapter 8

Izzy's Pov

"Mooommmm I'm home!" I yell closing the door.

No answer.

She must be at work.

I throw my purse at the sofa and runs upstairs to my bedroom but something stops me, loud breathing. If mom isn't home, Alexis also isn't, who must be?

Omg no, what if it's a ghost?!

"Who's there?" I yell walking closer to the bathroom door.

"Izzy?" The voice says.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME, MY MOM IS COMING AND YOU CAN'T KILL ME!" I scream and close my eyes.

I hear the door unlocking and I freeze, what the fuck? That's the time I should run right? JESUS I'm going to die.

"Please don't kill me" I whimper.

"Izzy, it's me, Bomba" The voice says and I open my eyes slowly to see my mother's boyfriend standing in front of me.

"Oh thank God" I relax and let out the breathe I didn't even realize I was holding.

"You thought that I was a monster?" He smirks.

"What? No no, I've been so in my character of this movie I'll be filming soon" I roll my eyes.

"I thought you were more brave you know, but I knew that behind all that pose there is a girl who's afraid of cockroaches" He says laughing and I look at him.

"Oh come on! I never expected you to be here and mom wasn't home, what would I think beside a monster? Or something like that?" I say and he shrugs.

"Well monsters don't exist so I'd never expect that" He says as we walk downstairs.

"Of course they exist have you ever looked at thise ears right there?" I say and he raises an eyebrow.

"Okay I see you got such a sense of humor" He says and I nod.

"Thank you so much, I got that from my mom" I throw my hair to my back. "By the way you never told me why exactly you are here" I say.

"Your mom called me yesterday, we are going to see your family today, remember?" He asks as if it's obvious.

"Oh shit" I slap my forehead.

The front door opens and I see mom and Alexis come in.

"Hey- oh Gui? What are you doing here?" Mom says and Bomba looks at me.

"I see from who you got that too" He says and I shrug.

"We're travelling to see your family mom" Alexis says before me or Bomba.

"Oh right!" Mom says. "And how many time I have to tell you that they're our family not only mine okay?" She reminds my sister who nods.

Alexis' pov

I think I'll never be used to it, she actually told me that a lot of times, but I just don't feel like they're my family, I don't even know them.

According to mom I have a grandmother called Dianna and a grandfather called Eddie, also two aunties, Madison and Dallas, Dallas has a child whose name is Riley and she's my age, which is good, and Madison is the most cool aunt, according to Izzy.

I'm excited to meet them.

My family.
