We get back to the cabin , as soon as we walked through the door Robyn asked " hey can you run me a bath ?" Jamal went into the bathroom, and Robyn went into his room. I sat outside on the sofa. I laid back to try to clear my head , then I realized something. They are not acting like strangers .... So I creep to the bathroom door , to try to hear what they are saying . I hear their convo perfectly .
" when are you going to tell her ?" I hear Jamal ask Robyn .
" soon" she simply replies .
" Robyn she deserves to know ! You came in and turned this poor girl's life around. The least you can do is let her know why ."
" I will! This is not something that you can just tell a person over dinner . I'm changing her life for the better . "
" But she doesn't know that ! Right now her life is falling apart around her , while your taking a goddamn bath ."
" I needed to think Jamal . "
" Think? No , you planned everything down to the very small details. It's time Robyn ..."
With that last sentence I walked back over to the couch and sat down . I'm not sure how I'm even feeling at this moment. I'm too caught up with what just happened to even try to piece how Robyn and Jamal fit into all this . I guess because for some reason I still trust them . Even they said they are changing my life for the better but I mean ... It would be nice to know how and more importantly why .
Jamal and Robyn walked out together . Robyn spoke first " Kiesha , I need to talk to you about something ." She said sitting by me on the sofa " I am not going to beat around the bush. I'm just going to spit it out .... You are my sister .... I knew Paul was in love with you , and that he raped you ... I used you to pull him out of hiding ... Because he took something from me ... Five million dollars ."
What ??? Wait .... Huh ??? Rewind .
" your my sister ?" I asked in disbelief
" Yes , and I know that you might be upset about those people dying, but they were not your real parents. And honestly if Paul wouldn't have killed them , I would've . "
" I was adopted ?"
" yes ..."
" why ? Why was I given up !!??"
" well according to what I was told ... It wasn't by choice . We were on the run . I went with mom, you with dad . When she tried to come back for you ... You both had disappeared . We couldn't find you until the night that Paul took advantage of you . At the moment I didn't know that was you . I found that out later ..."
" and you used me to bring him out of hiding . How ?"
" by dating Jordan ... That was a set up . ..."
I felt my fucking heart break in two , so I grabbed my chest . Robyn noticed and defended him " listen, Jordan loves you . He did all this for you . It was some weak ass, story about him only using you in the beginning, and then falling in love with you . He loved you before even speaking to you."
" he told you that ?"
" he didn't have too... I saw it in his eyes everytime he looked at you . In his smile everytime you smiled . He couldn't get enough of you . He just wanted you to get to know him for who he truly was , without any complications ."
" Even if that's true ... He's dead now !!!!! "
" No he's not .... "
" wait what ?? " I look up at her with hope in my eyes . " what did you just say ?"
