So my name is Kristi and I’m 17 years old. When I was just 2 years old, my parents died in a car crash. Ever since then, that day has haunted me. It was like I lost everything. You might be assuming that I am now living in a foster home but I’m not. I live with my aunt and my 2 cousins, Matthew, age 22 and Patrick, age 21 here in New York. We get along pretty well. They’re like my big brothers pretty much. It was not long until my aunt has told me something… Something very shocking… We were sitting at the dinner table when all of a sudden I hear Patrick whisper “should we tell her?”
Me: “Tell me what?” They all just sat there in silence.
Aunt: “Well I think it’s time for you to know that… Ummm…”
Matthew: “Kristi, you have a big brother his name is Max George. We contacted him and he really wants to meet you!” I stared at them in shock.
Me: WHAT?!? Why didn’t you tell me this before?!” That name sounded so familiar…
Aunt: “It was only because we didn’t think you were ready. Look we’re sorry for not telling you sooner.”
Me: “It’s okay. I just can’t believe that I have... A brother… When and where does he want to meet?”
Patrick: “Well his flight gets here around 10:30 am tomorrow and then we were hoping to go Sip This for a drink and chat a little.”
Me: “Sounds cool. Wait.. His flight? Where does he live?”
Matthew: “Oh he lives in London!”
Me: “Ohhh” On the outside I was playing it cool but what I was really thinking was, “I have an English brother?!?!?!? Sweeeeettt!!!”
*The next morning*
Matthew: “Kristi!! Wake up! We’re leaving for the airport in 20 minutes!!!”
Me: “OMG!!” I got out of bed and went in the shower, and put on some denim shorts with my grey American Eagle top and grey low-top converse. I put on some eyeliner and mascara and some chap stick. My lips are extremely chapped anyway. I hear my aunt yell from the stairs.
Aunt: “Kristi! Are you ready yet!?”
Me: “Yeah! Just give me a sec and I’ll be ready!” Once I was completely ready I went downstairs and into the car for the airport. About 20 minutes later we arrived at the airport and waited at the gate. As we were waiting I was thinking of where the hell I’ve heard that name before. Patrick gave me a nudge.
Patrick: “Kristi, are you okay? You seem a bit nervous.” He chuckled.
Me: “Yeah I’m a little nervous but I’m just still trying to think why his name sounds so familiar!” This was really starting to bug me and as time passes I’m starting to get VERY nervous!
Patrick: “Don’t worry I have to admit I’m nervous for you! Oh! And I forgot to tell you that he’s in a band!”
Me: “Uhhhh…What?” I said in a nervous tone. “Now I’m extremely nervous!!”
Patrick: “Don’t be! He’s only your brother.”
Me: “Yep.. Only my brother… My famous brother..” I actually liked the sound of that.
Aunt: “Here he comes!! MAX! OVER HERE!!”
Max: “Hello everyone! Ahh you must be my sister, Kristi!! He said as he pulled me into a big hug.
Me: “I am!! How’ve you been?”
Max: “I’ve been great thank you!”
Aunt: “Okay let’s save the chat for the car.” She said chuckling.
Matthew: “We’re still going to Sip This right?”
Aunt: “Crap! I almost forgot. But first we need to go home to drop off Max’s bags.”
45 minutes later we arrive at Sip This and we sit at a booth.
Patrick: “So Max what’s it like over there in London?”
Max: “It’s quite lovely actually. I live in a big house with the lads.”
Matthew: “And who are these lads?” He said confused.
Max: “My friends of course! They are Siva, Jay, Nathan and Tom. We’re in a band.” He said smiling.
Aunt: “What’s your band called?”
Max: “The Wanted. Have you ever heard of it?”
Me: “No but I think we’ve heard a song by you guys. Is it called Glad You Came?” I said smiling. I actually loved that song a lot.
Max: “Yes it is!” Do you like it?”
Me: “Are you kidding! I’m actually obsessed with it to be honest. It’s so catchy!” I giggled.
After sitting there and talking for 10 minutes the waiter finally comes over and takes our orders.
Waiter: “Hello my name is Josh and I will be assisting you today. Can I take your order?”
Aunt: “Yes can we have 3 ice coffees please? Max do you want anything?”
Max: “Actually do you make tea here?”
Waiter: “Of course we do! Will that complete your order?”
Max: “Yes it does. Thank you!”
About 15 minutes later the waiter comes back with our orders and we continue talking.
Me: “So Max what do you and your band like to do?”
Max: “Well we go on tour, do concerts and when we have some free time we either like to go clubbing, take trips or go visit our families.”
Max noticed me looking down at my drink and swirling the straw around.
Max: “Kristi what’s wrong?”
Me: “It’s just that when you say “visit our families” what do you do? Did you ever know about me?”
Max: “Yeah I did actually. When mum was pregnant with you.”
Me: “Then how come you’ve never tried contacting us? All of these years!” I had a few tears in my eyes. But they didn’t come out.
Aunt: “It’s okay Kristi try not to think about the past and enjoy the present.” She said while patting my shoulder.
Me: “You’re right. I’m sorry Max.”
Max: “It’s okay love. Anyway, there’s something I wanted to ask all of you. Even though I just met you Kristi, I was wondering if you wanted to come and live with me in London. Just so you can spend more time with your big bro?” He looked a bit nervous while asking but I saw a bit of hope in his eyes.
Me: “OH MY GOD!! Max I would love to!! But it’s not all up to me.”
Aunt: “Well I think it’s a great idea! Don’t get me wrong I’ll miss you like crazy, but I think it would be nice to spend time with your brother.”
Me: “Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!” I got up from my seat and hugged her.
Max: “Great!! When we get home, you should pack! We leave Saturday morning!
