The Other Triplet - A Nolan Dolan Fanfic

Finding Yourself

ANASTASIA'S POV

I stand in front of my sister for the first time in years. I got emancipated when I was 16 years old, because I couldn't take it anymore. I look at Jessica in the eye. We don't move or make any noises. It is as if we are trying to figure out if this is actually happening. She is a spiting image of our mother. Her long curls fell down to her lower back. Her green eyes shined against her tan skin. Our Dominic Republican side always shined through her. "Ana?" Her voice broke my thoughts. I look back into her eyes and I see them gloss over. "Jes--" She pulled me into a hug, and we released our emotions out on each other. We finally pull away and I smile at her. She wipes my face and says, "I missed you so much, Ana. We all did. Mom missed you the most." Hearing her say that my mother actually missed me made my heart break more. I never doubted that she didn't, but all my life I always felt unwelcome. "I am sorry, Jess. I should have came home when I heard Mom was ill. I should have called. I shouldn't have bailed on you all. I am such a terrible daughter." She pulled me back into her chest as she played with my hair to comfort me. "You are not a terrible daughter, Anastasia. Even if you were here, Mama would have told you to remember her in her best of times, not her worst. She was so proud of you. For getting out of this broken home. For going to college with your own expenses. You are an inspiration, especially to me. I am 34 now, and I am still here. I haven't married or started my own family. I work as a waitress, and an exotic dancer just to pay for Mama's hospital bills." I broke out of the hug. "Why didn't you call me? I would have sold my car, and we could've worked together and--" She shook her head. "No. Hermana, listen to me. I never want to hear about you leaving school and stop fighting for your life. Make something out of yourself. Do it for the both of us. It is worth it when I see all of my sisters flourish. Speaking of sisters, would you like to come see them?" I nod and she grabs my hand and leads me into the small house.

"¡Hermanas, vengan aquí ahora!" (Sisters, come here now.) I heard groans coming from the hallway, as I hid behind my oldest sister. They all file in and sit down. "I have a surprise for you." "What is it? I was on the phone with my girlfriend." I peak out from my sister and say, "Girlfriend?! Who would date your musty ass anyways?" Aubrey jumps up and hugs me. "ANA!" Then soon all of my sisters break out of their stage of shock and attack me. "I can't breathe!" I say muffled in the embrace. "You are fine." Lorali said while squeezing me tighter.

I sit on my Mama's bed and take in her familiar scent. I turn my head to look at the picture on her bed frame. It is with all of my sisters and I on Christmas. We were all wearing onsies and had goofy smiles. It was a tradition in my family to wear a onesie on Christmas Eve and wake up in it on Christmas morning. We would put them on after Christmas Eve mass. No matter how old we became, we still followed this tradition. I grab the picture and look at how happy Mama was. "I am sorry, Mama. I should've called. I should've been here for all those Christmases I made excuses for. I should've been a better daughter. I hope you will forgive me someday." I kiss the photo and put it on the nightstand. "Are you leaving again?" I look towards the door to see Eve looking at me. "I have to eventually." She looks down at her feet. I still remember when Eve was just a baby. She never knew Dad, but that is a blessing in disguise. "I guess I could stay one night." She looked up with a huge smile. "Would you?" I get up and hug her. "Anything for little Evie."
