Welcome back

????'s POV

I arrived back at mom's old apartment. When I got enough money, I bought the place so that I could visit when I had to get away from everything.

After I ran away, I ended up in foster care since Gabe convinced mom to not go looking for me, or something like that. I just know my perspective, not Mom's, Gabe's, or Evie's.

Evie...I thought Is Evie still Alive? Where is she now? I hope she's ok...

I'll tell you my story after I make some blue cookies to eat, mom made the best blue cookies. My girlfriend managed to get the recipe somehow when they came back here to investigate what happened to mom.

OK.

Blue cookies are made, I'm comfortable (I suggest you get comfy too), here's the story.

Evie is my twin sister. I was about 5 years old when Gabe started hitting Mom, now I jumped in to protect her, but Evie jumped in front of me. Now that night when Gabe was asleep, I packed my bag and decided to leave, Evie wanted to stay, she was afraid of what lay outside our apartment.

I sneaked out the fire escape in our room and started living on the streets. I survived 1 year until the police found me outside a burned down deli while I was investigating. I ended up in foster care. Six years later, I went through six schools that the foster care sent me too. Six schools, Six years, I've been kicked out of every place.

Until, the system put me in a school that was called 'Yancy academy'. On a field trip my teacher tried to kill me but no one remembered that teacher. One thing escalated to another and I ended up a a camp that i attended year round after i found out about my mom and Gabe, since then I've been pretty busty with my side of things.

I never stopped looking for Evie though. So when I got her letter, I decided to meet her at the hotel next door (since that's where she was staying)

So here I am today, sitting on the couch in my apartment, eating a blue cookie, waiting for 12:30 am to strike, so I can go see my sister.

--------TIME SKIP BECAUSE I'M LAZY---------

Time- 12:25 am

Still ???? POV

OK, I'm standing in the cold weather, outside of the hotel. Once again I pull out the note that Evie sent-

Dear Brother,

Hi, Its Evie. I know that there's very little chance you will get this..but I want to tell you that I'm in New York this week, staying at the hotel right next to our old apartment. If you want to meet up, you know where I am. Come anytime between 121 pm and 2:30 am. Wait at the front desk, I'll either be there or in my room. If its the latter, knock on room 56B with our special knock and I'll answer.

Sea you soon, Brother.

Love from, Evie.

So, I'm at the right hotel but should I wait inside?

"Just go in, you're putting off seeing your sister," I tell myself

I walked inside the hotel, and wow. It was big, from the outside it looks normal but the inside is decked out.

"Can I help you with anything?" A worker approached me.

"No thank you, just here to visit my sister," I reply and rushed up the stairs until I found the room.

*Knock, knock,  knock knock, knock*

"Hello?" A disheveled Evie poked her head out

"Welcome back sis, though you'de have more enthusiasm to see me," I smirked

"PERSEUS JACKSON!!!"

*run*
