"Woah, hold on." I shook my head. "So, what's your mom's name?"
"Lola June."
That's McKenzie's mom's name too.
"Do you have anything to prove that? Like, did you come here with any proof?"
She ruffled through her purse before pulling out a paper and photos. "This is my birth certificate."
Sure enough it was signed by Lola June- with no middle name, just like McKenzie's mom.
"And here are some pictures I have from my birth, and when I was a baby. No older than 1."
Taking the pictures from her, it felt like my heart dropped to my ass when I seen McKenzie's mom on a hospital bed, in a hospital gown, holding on to a newborn baby that definitely wasn't McKenzie.
I've known McKenzie for a while now, we've done all of the embarrassing shit to each other like looked through each other's baby pictures, so I know this wasn't my best friend as a baby. This was definitely another baby.
And that other baby is Melani.
"How long have you known this? Like, how did you even figure this out? This is fucking crazy."
She nodded. "Trust me, I know. And I'm not expected to be accepted by your family with open arms, but this is something I couldn't hold in no more. I've known that McKenzie was my sister for a little while now, but I basically figured it out through Dayna."
I cringed at the sound of that bitch's name.
"I just remember her hitting me up about the new girl at her school- which was you. She kept telling me about how you and Angel were a thing and blah blah blah. And then later she told me about how you "dragged" your sister to the school too and she told me her name was McKenzie June. I didn't say anything to her yet though because June isn't the most uncommon last name, but it's not super common either so I asked her to try to find out either what had happened to McKenzie for her to have moved down here with you and your mom or to try to find McKenzie's real parents' name."
I chuckled. "Seems like that bitch was obsessed with us or some shit."
"Not even gonna lie, she kinda was. Almost everyday it was "Audriana and Angel" and then it turned into "Audriana, Angel, McKenzie, and Amere", like, it was bad. But anyways, she eventually came back and told me that she found out the reason McKenzie had moved down here was because her mom had been abusing her- or something like that- so her mom was arrested and taken to jail in Vegas and McKenzie was adopted by your mom."
