I walk up the lawn with shaky legs. when I reach the door I can't seem to find the courage to knock or even ring the doorbell. when I finally get the courage, I reach it and timidly knock on the door. nobody answers so I try again a little louder. still nothing. I try to ring the doorbell and I'm surprised at how loud it is. I hear the lock unlatch and the door swings open. there stands my mother, with mascara running down her face from crying. she takes one look at me and throws her arm around while sobbing. "we (sob sob sob) thought you (sob sob sob) were dead! (sob sob sob)" "we missed you so much Isabella! What happened to you?" "I got kidnapped and then I found Melanie and she helped me escape along with Kathryn, my new bests friend." Melanie honks the horn in the truck and waves with Kathryn. My mom runs down to the truck and peers inside. "K..K..Kathryn?" she says the tears starting to flow again. "Mom?" Kathryn replies. "Oh My God honey when they said that the search was over we lost a lot of hope, but I knew you were out there somewhere!" my mom said with tears falling down her face. I walk down to the truck. both of them look at me. "Isabella, this is your long lost twin, Kathryn." my mom says. and I just couldn't believe this. I sit down on the lawn and think. Kathryn is my sister. I have a twin. why didn't my mom tell me? "why didn't you tell me I had a twin?" I say standing up. "because we knew it would be hard for you, and we thought you would be upset." my mom says. "WELL I AM UPSET!" I yell, getting frustrated that my mom never told me about all of this. I would talk more, but I am too tired and just want to sleep, hoping that I'll wake up and this will all be a bad dream. I just couldn't believe my mom kept a secret like this from me for so long!
