Endless

Chapter 3

Busting out the restroom seemed like the best thing to do. Thousand of thoughts went through my mind.

Is she my sister, twin sister in fact? Or it's just a coincidence that we look alike. Is this normal? I've always been the only child. Maybe it's what I thought. This is all confusing.

"Are you fine, you look like you saw a ghost? Alicia asks with a concerned look on her face. I just sit down ,unable to make out any words.
"Here's your order girls " the waiter comes and put our food on the table. He's very cute, he has short dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and looks a bit short. He's name is Ryan, looking from his name tag on his shirt. He's eyes are mainly on Alicia but I don't pay attention.

"Earth to Natasha " Alicia says, snapping her fingers infront of my face, getting me out of my daze.
"Ever since u came back from the restroom you've been in your own world , what happened? "

"I really find it hard to understand or believe,  it just seems so unreal.. " I say deep in my thoughts, playing with my fries.

"What are you... " She suddenly stops and I looked up at her to find her looking at something behind me with her mouth open.

I turn around seeing her face again. The girl I saw in the restroom.
"Am I seeing double or do I need glasses."Alicia says looking at her too.

She is now walking towards our table. Oh God, is this really happening?  I feel my heart beating at a very fast pace.

"Hi I'm Natalie " she greets, stretching her hand up to me. I can't move,  is this  really happening?

"I know you shocked and all but I've been wanting to meet you. I think this is the universe actually showing that it's time we met" Natalie says in a smile.

Why is she so calm? What does she mean by she always wanting to meet me? Why does this seem normal to her?  It's like I'm basically looking at a mirror and it just seems normal to her.

Alicia nudges me to say something but all I can do is stare.

Natalie suddenly gets  phone call, "Sorry but I have to take this " she says and excuses herself.

"Why didn't u say anything? " Alicia asks from next to me.
"What would you say if u saw someone who looks exactly like you? I ask her back. "That's what I thought " I say, seeing that she has no reply.

Natalie comes backs " I know u still in shock and need an explanation but I really have to leave right now. Here's my number,  u can call me anytime " she says writing her number on a piece of paper and handing it to me.

She turns on her heel leaving, "Wait, "I call out to her. "We can get together tomorrow if you are free"i say to her. Very unsure of my words. " Cool,  would love that "she says in a smile and leaves.

Alicia and I finish our  food in silence and she drives me home.
She pulls up my driveway and looks at me. "You good? "she asks in a small smile. "Yeah I will be,  thanks for the ride "I say, kissing her on the cheek.
"Anytime biish" she says and drives off.

Opening the door,  I'm met with my mom laying on the couch. Well half of her body is on the couch. Her legs are hanging off the couch.
She must've had a long day, I chuckle to myself. Who am I kidding, she doesn't even work. She probably has a hangover or is tired from sitting at home the whole day, doing nothing.

She didn't even clean. Sometimes I just wish I chose to live with my grandma Evelyn. But I couldn't leave my mom just like that. I really care about her and I'm afraid if I'm not around, she'll do even more bad things.

I tidy up everything and head to my bedroom. I practically throw myself on my bed, releasing a long groan 

What a day.

Do I really have a twin sister I never heard about?  Why would mom hide her from me?  What else is she hiding? Why was Natalie suddenly eager to meet me? Where did she live?  Does she know know my.. I mean our dad? Mom always told me that he died when I was still a baby ?

Thoughts are just running in my mind. I have a very bad headache. Mostly because of me hitting my head on the ground when the door banged me. But I really think that this Natalie thing also increased my headache.

I need a nap. It's now 4:59 pm,  I'll wake up at 6:00pm to help grandma make dinner. She comes over once in a while to check if everything is good and sometimes cook for me and mom. I love that woman. I feel sorry for people with no grandma. I don't think I would've survived without her.

I pull out my phone and set the alarm for 6:00pm. I kick off my shoes and get comfortable in my bed.

"Get up!" I heard someone say just before I was soaked with water.

"What the.. "I stop realising its my mom.

"Who do u think is suppose to make dinner when u are sleeping " she says pulling the blanket.
Uhm.. You, duh .. I just wish I had the guts to talk back.

"Grandma is coming over remember " I say to her

"I don't give a fuck if she's coming or not, just get up , I'm hungry " she says leaving my room.

Why does this always happen to me ? I don't deserve any of this ?

I drag myself downstairs to be met by grandma in the kitchen. My eyes light up with joy as I go running into her, hugging her.

"Hey sweetie , good to see you too " she says giving me a wide smile 

"Mom said you not coming " I tell her.
"But I'm glad you are " I say hugging her again.

"Okay sweetie , go and relax. You look drained. "
" Thanks grandma, u the best " giving her a peck on her cheek. I leave her to carry on in the kitchen and head to the living room, throwing myself on the couch.

What a day ...
