Mia Rain: Bayside High

Life of Two Sisters

Everything I discovered had me rush all the way home. I quickly shut my car door and opened my window to get inside. "Will you calm down? There's a million chances if it could be her!" Alyssa said. She climbed out of the window. I brought her with me because she's known my sister and why she's gone. I sighed. She's right. I need to relax. "Ok, you're right. Just breathe." I said. She looked around my room and smiled. "Your room is really cute! I love the blue!" She said. I slightly chuckled. "Like Lisa, I created my palace here." I joked. We both chuckled. I huffed. "There's got to be someway to be sure. Mom probably left a few of our old belongings somewhere." I said. "Of course there is." We heard Morgan. Our eyes diverted to her standing near the door. Alyssa smiled and waved. "Hey, Morgan!" She said. She looked at me as if she should prank her. I nodded, letting her know we're good. She returned the gesture. "Hey, Alyssa. I know where mom keeps our old things." She said. I smiled. "Where?" I asked. "Follow me." Morgan told us.

We walked in Mom and Dad's bedroom. Alyssa's still amazed by our new house. Morgan pulled out a basket and our family scrapbook from under their bed. My jaw dropped. "What's that?" I asked, referring to the box. "Everything you need." She said. I took the basket and ran back to my room. Alyssa followed behind. She emptied the basket which held our birth certificates and toys. My sister's still there. I grabbed the scrapbook and opened it. Pictures of our family through the years were in. She sat beside me as I studied the pictures. There's one of me holding Morgan. She was two years old. Another of me, Mom, Alyssa and Nina. We wore Disney princess costumes for Halloween. She smiled. "I remember this. We went to our school's candy party for Halloween! I can't believe I was Snow White." She said. I laughed. "Yeah, you hated that." I said. Nina was Belle, I was Aurora. They're our favorite Disney princesses. I turned to another page and found more pictures. One had the name titled 'Mia & Nina' with a heart. I smiled softly. Tears formed in my eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked. I sighed. "I miss her so much." I said. She pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her back. Guess the memories coming back were so emotional. I thought I could be with her forever. We parted. I wiped my eyes and turned to another page. One photo of herself was in the book. We studied the picture. Alyssa was confused. "This photo doesn't look old!" She said. I nodded in agreement. It's true. I pulled the picture out of the book. (Pic up top) This can't be it! She was kidnapped when we were younger. We would not see her till any day. Unless...

I sighed. "Any time I watch Nini, she reminds me of someone. It's hard to figure out but my gut's felling me different. What is this feeling?" I said. She patted my shoulder. "Mia, I'm sure you'll figure it out. I mean have you seen her before?" She said. I shrugged. "Maybe I did or didn't. It's confusing." I said.

Her eyes diverted to the screen. Nini was up close. "You look like Nini though." She told me. I got up and studied her face. The eyebrows, eyes and hair. They look the same as mine. Overall, our personalities are different.

My brain clicked. "Aly, give me her birth certificate!" I told her. She handed me the paper. "I want you to turn the TV on." I said. She looked at me confusedly. "Where are you- I cut her off. "Do it! I know what I'm doing." I said. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. HSMTMTS was still playing. I paused the part where Nini's present. I studied Nina's look and hers. My eyes widened. Alyssa followed my gaze which had her in shock. I looked up at the screen. It's true. It's been true all along. Nini aka Nina's my lost sister. I covered my mouth in shock. "It's true, Alyssa. I always thought my gut was messing with me but no this was it. From the first time, I've watched this I been watching her the whole time. Her voice, her eyes, hair and smile. It's exactly like mine. She must've been abducted the day she was taken away. You know we talked about our dreams? She wanted to be an actress and I wanna be a singer. I don't know about you...but I've found her. I really found her. And she's ok." I explained. She smiled and hugged me. I laughed and hugged back. "This is incredible! Your family can be a whole again." She said. I nodded. "I know. That's why I need to know where she is." I said. My phone buzzed. I began to read the message.

Reminder; SAT Testing is Wednesday at 10pm.

I groaned. Damn it! I forgot the test is this week. "What?" She asked. "The SATs is on Wednesday. Mom will be on my ass about studying." I said. She shrugged. "I have the test coming too so focus before you send a search party. You need a little more time for yourself." She said. I began thinking for a minute. I sighed. "Fine. I'll lay low for a while and when the time's right, I'll go and explain to the gang." I said. She nodded in agreement. I placed Nina's photo and birth certificate in my nightstand. I put the scrapbook and basket under their bed. My phone buzzed with a text from Zack.

"I have to study with Zack." I said. Alyssa nodded. "I also have to leave." She said. I smiled and hugged her. She chuckled and hugged back. "I'm sure she's ok." She said. "Thanks." I said. We parted and she left by my window.
