"Why don't we just ask her?" Suggested Red.
"What if she freaks?"worried Eden.
"We won't know unless we try.."
Eden sighed and turned to Delly.
"Delphine?Can Red and I ask you something?"
The bell rung and they didn't meet again until after school.Delly was in the theatre waiting for them.As soon as they arrived they asked her again.
"Delly,who is Paris?"
Delly visibly froze.Tears started to fill her eyes.
"It's alright we don't have to talk about it,not if you don't want to.."Eden said worried about her friend.Red went further.He sat down beside Delly and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.She leaned into him and stated full blown sobbing into his chest.Red closed his eyes and hugged her,rocking back and forth gently.When she was finished she wiped her eyes.
"I need to tell you guys.Paris is my twin sister.But she died a week before I came here.Its actually why I came here in the first place..my mom wanted me to be someplace without..memories."
"What was she like?"asked Eden
"She was really sporty.We were poles apart yet closer than ever.I loved her more than ever.She was my best friend.Now she's gone.And every night I miss her.She was..part of me and it feels as though I have this this huge hole in my heart without her."
"My mom died.Thats the reason I'm here.I have two brothers and two sisters and none of them have ever met me.I only know what they look like because I've seen photographs.My dads too ashamed of me to tell my siblings that I exist so now..well,now I don't."reaveled Red.Delly looked up at him.
"What,who are your siblings?"
Red grinned. He loved talking about his family.
"Robin is the oldest.Hes the only one who might remember me.I was five when he was born.I was the greatest brother to him.He thought the world of me but then I was sent away.Wendy came next.Shes ten.Then Razza.Hes seven.My littlest sister is Cloud.Shes four.Im not terribly sure how or why but I love them so much!I don't see them in the holidays as I don't go home for them."
Red turned to Eden."What about you?Whats your hidden secret?"
"Ok, Iwas born with a twin brother.He was a stillborn and my mom and dad are still trying to get over it."She shrugged and got up.
"Lets rehearse!"
