"Never in a million years did I think I'd fall in love. I thought that love was impossible for me. But he showed me a whole new world. This is the story of my life."
I'm Skylar, Rose's amazing best friend. My life takes one drastic turn after my m...
I called my parents, or should I say Collin and Ava. I didn't tell then anything, only to come here. The door opened and in walked Collin and Ava.
"Hey hun. Oh hey kids." Ava said, smiling. I smiled back but I don't think it reached my eyes. Rose or Heather was sitting at the foot of my bed and I was still in Ivan's lap. The other boys were sitting in the chairs that surrounded my bed.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I questioned, fiddling with my fingers. Something flashed through Ava and Collin's eyes but it went to quick for me to see what it was. They shared a look before playing dumb.
"What do you mean sweetheart?" Collin asked, his eyebrows furrowing together in fake confusion.
"We know. We know that you guys adopted us and then you gave Rose or Heather away after." Collin and Ava sighed, looking guilty.
"We were going to tell you both sometime." Ava told us and we scoffed.
"Yah and here we are eighteen years later. I don't think you were ever going to tell us." Rose said. Or Heather. Gosh, we have to figure that out after this is over. "Were are they?"
Ava whispered something. But I couldn't make it out. "What?" I questioned.
"They're here in L.A." Collin replied. "We meant to tell you. We were just afraid that if we told you, you'd leave us and live with them."
"Well it was going to happen anyway, whether we had already moved out or not. I understand that but I would've wanted to meet my birth parents. I may or may not have lived with them but I would've at least wanted to meet them." I said, leaning against Ivan.
"I know and we're sorry. We'll go give them a call and see how it goes from there." Ava said, pulling Collin out of the room.
"Ok, we really need to figure out the name thing." Rose and I said at the same time. Then we giggled.
"Well, it doesn't really matter to me. Whatever works." I told her and she nodded. She then looked at the boys.
"What do you guys think? Think we should stick with Rose and Skylar or go with Heather and Harper?" Rose asked the guys. They all got up and huddled in the corner of the room, whispering. We laughed and watched them.
After ten minutes of them huddling, they finally faced us with smiles on their faces. I raised an eyebrow. Rose did too.
"We have decided that," Chance said.
"You should be called," Anthony says.
"Heather," Jake said.
"Harper." Ivan says. Rose - Heather and I squeal.
"Hello Heather." I said, trying to hold in my giggles.
"Hello there Harper." Rose no Heather, said. Also trying to hold in her giggles. Gosh, this new name thing is gonna have to get some getting used to. The door opened again and in walked Ava and Collin.
"We talked with Lane and Lisa and they are over excited to meet you both. They have agreed to meet you once you get out of the hospital, which is tomorrow." Ava said.
"What do you want me to call you now? Ava or Mom?" I asked, Heather thinking the same thing.
Ava smiled, her eyes watery. "Call me whatever you feel comfortable with." Ava told us.
I looked at Rose and I already knew the answer just by looking at her.
"Mom." We said in unison. Mom squealed and gave us a big hug. I laughed with Heather, my sister. I think I could get used to this. Knowing that my best friend, who I consider a sister, is actually my biological sister.
