Dork Diaries - A New Beginning Part 2

Paulina Górska

January 14th

I took the girls to the doctor today and he said that they definitely have a fever.

I kind of knew this already because their temperatures were pretty high when I checked them this morning.

Right now, Brandon and the girls are sleeping and I finished doing the housework so I have time to write in my diary and just relax while I can.
Caring for three little babies and one grown man can be quite exhausting.

And just then, as of on cue, my phone starts ringing, signalling the end to my relaxation.

I sigh and quickly pick up the phone.

"Hello? Who's there?" I ask.

"Hi Nikki!" I hear my cousin Emily's familiar voice.

Emily is 25, the same age as me. We are really close as we spent a lot of time together as children. Even though she lived about 2 hours away, we still managed to see eachother about twice a month. We don't see eachother that often now. She was always like a twin sister to me. She was the one who helped me pick myself back up again after Faustina died. Though I must say that I'm not fully healed yet. Thinking about Faustina still hurts me a lot.

"What's up Emily?" I ask.

"Guess who I met?"

"Who?'

"Paulina."

"Paulina? Who's Paulina?"

"Don't you remember her?"

"Nope."

"You're telling me that you don't remember Paulina Górska?" (A\N Górska is pronounced
Goo-rska)

"Wait, did you just say Paulina Górska?"

"Yes."

"Do you mean THE Paulina Górska?"

"Yes, I mean THE Paulina Górska, she said that she would love to meet you sometime."

I could feel my stomach do a flip inside me. Then I felt something in my eyes. I can feel the tears coming.

I don't know am I ready to meet Paulina.

Everything would come back, the memories and the pain. Forget that, the memories and the pain came back just with Emily mentioning her name, but meeting her in person would make it worse then it already is, and it's bad enough now.

Then the tears start quickly rolling down my cheeks.

"I don't know Emily", I answer and then I hang up.

Yeah, yeah, I know, short chapter.

Who is Paulina and why is Nikki afraid to meet her?

And why does even mentioning her name bring back memories and pain?
