CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
"I'm so done."

Marley was in the kitchen working on some homework when there was a knock at the door. She groaned before deciding she wasn't going to answer it and that whoever it was would just go away. They didn't go away.

After ten minutes of straight knocking Marley groaned before getting up and walking towards the door. She opened the front door to reveal a women in her mid twenties with long curly hair and a large backpack. She was dressed in black distressed skinny jeans and tattered boots and a large oversized burgundy jumper.

"When I found out Lena had a child I was expecting a five year old," the girl said with a strong british accent while taking in Marley's appearance before walking into the house and into the kitchen. Marley looked at her in confusion before closing the door and following her into the kitchen.

"Who the hell are you?" Marley asked her and she just scoffed while rummaging through the fridge.

"Gina and Lena didn't tell you about me?" The girl said and Marley shook her head and she just scoffed before pulling out bread, mayo, tomatoes, cheese, ham and lettuce.

"Do you want to make your long lost family member a sandwich? I'm famished," The girl said and Marley's eyes widened.

"Extra cheese, extra ham," She ordered before sitting down on the dining table.

"Are you at least going to tell me your name?" Marley asked her and she threw her head back before sighing.

"Rhea Davis-Knight. Can it be toasted? I haven't eaten anything for, like,two days," Rhea said and just then her stomach rumbled. Marley sighed before pulling out a knife and plate and making the sandwich.

"Where's Lena and Gina?" Rhea asked and Marley shrugged.

"Lena is probably in her house and Gina is walking the dog with Flo," Marley said while putting the sandwich down in front of her and Rhea wasted no time biting into the sandwich. Marley watched as she quickly ate it.

"So, what's your relation?" Marley asked her while Rhea ate the sandwich, Rhea didn't respond due to her mouth being full and Marley rolled her eyes before opening the fridge and handing her a soda, which she took gratefully. Marley waited for Rhea to finish her sandwich and once she was done she sighed in content and licked some mayo off her fingers.

"Thank you, I was starving," Rhea said once she was done and Marley scrunched up her nose at the nickname.

"So I'm guessing you're Marley not Lance," Rhea said and Marley raised an eyebrow at her.

"Who's Lance?" Marley asked and Rhea sighed taking a sip from the coke.

"Of course they wouldn't tell you. This oughta be fun," Rhea said and Marley pushed it to the back of her mind.

"What's your relation?" Marley asked her and Rhea sighed before sipping from her coke again.

"The twins had a younger sister," Rhea explained and Marley's eyes widened.

"Like, same mother same father?" Marley asked and Rhea shot her a look.

"Let's wait till Gina gets home shall we?" Rhea asked and Marley frowned before nodding. Just then Gina, Chewie and Flo walked into the house. Chewie ran into the kitchen and Marley stroked her dog.

"Marley, Flo and I were thinking about going to Pops for dinner tonight...." Gina said while walking into the kitchen trailing off as her eyes landed on Rhea who just smiled.

"Hey, sis." Rhea said and Gina's jaw dropped once her eyes landed on her.

"Marley Rose, I don't care what you say. We are going Pop's. I'm craving his Mac and..." Flo said before walking into the kitchen and trailing off as her eyes landed on Rhea.
