Sister [21]

What are you doing here?" Alex roared.

"Meet your mother and brother, Sara," Mr Dante introduced with a huge smile.

"What the fuck?!" Alex screamed making me want to pull out my ears.

" Alex language!" Mr Dante said.

Before I could reply or say anything, Ms Hannah engulfed me in a tight hug. I was shocked. I stood there like a statue while she hugged me tightly.

Tears welled in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I was not crying because my supposedly biological mother was hugging me. I'm crying because she is putting too much pressure on my injured hand. It hurts so much even though days have gone by.

My hands stood by my sides. They ached to hug her back. I'm not used to hugs, but no. I will not hug her. She doesn't deserve it.

Ms. Hannah finally pulled away from me, but she kept her hands on my shoulders gently.

"I couldn't have asked for a different daughter. The moment I saw you here last time, I knew you were different, " she said. I almost scoffed in her face due to disbelief.

If you wanted a daughter so freaking bad, why did you abandon me?

"You met her?" Mr Dante asked.

"She is the girl I told you about who came to do the project," she explained.

"Oh, that's her!" He started. "Your mother hasn't stopped talking about how polite and different you were when you came." he smiled, and I shivered at the sentence.

She isn't my mum. My mum is buried 6 feet under the ground. She is not my mum. She will never be.

"She can't be my sister! I hate her!" Alex screamed again. I completely forgot about them standing here.

My gaze went to meet Alex's, which was fuming with anger. My eyes left him and wandered to Chris. He gave me a small reassuring smile. I didn't return it, though.

My eyes left Chris and connected with Asher's. Which were already giving me an annoyed look. What did I do to him?

" Alex, that is no way to talk to your sister!" Mr Dante roared at his son from behind.

I flinched at the sudden change of tone, and everyone seemed to notice it because Ms Hannah gave Mr Dante a warning glare.

"Honey, you are scaring her," she said to him.

"Dad, look at her she is a weirdo. Who flinches when someone raises their voice, " Alex remarked, eyeing me up and down. Perfect, you had to point it out, Alex, didn't you?

"Alex, I'm not gonna warn you again. Stop talking like that to your sister," his father said again, but his voice was low this time. It's more like a warning tone.

"What happened Sara you always talk back at school. Stop acting so innocent and naive now!" Alex screamed again but at me, this time taking a step toward me.

"Alex, please stop," I pleaded. I'm so tired today of this.

"No, no, you can't act too innocent now!" He screamed again. He took another step forward.

"Alex okay stop" Chris said to Alex, trying to pull him back.

"No!" Alex said, pushing Chris's hand away. "You can't be my sister! You can't ruin this for me! I swore I'd love her! I swore!" He shouted. We were standing toe to toe now.

I wanted to smash his head so bad right now, but I'm too tired. So I just stood there looking at him with a blank face.

"Alex, that's it. I said stop!" Mr Dante screamed at Alex, making me flinch again. Stupid reflexes.

"Dad, you don't understand!" Alex shouted again.

"You think I want to be here!" I finally snapped. "My dad died today, and I can't even grieve him properly!" I screamed again, making him take a step back.

"You think I want to be here so badly? I just want to sit in my house alone! But No! I have to meet my new family!" I screamed.

His chest was rising up and down in anger, but his face held something else. Confusion. Why the hell is he confused?

"Okay, that's enough for today. Asher shows Sara the guest room that she will be staying at until her room gets ready. We need to talk to Alex. " Mr Dante ordered Asher.

Why couldn't she just ask Chris?

Asher looked at me weirdly before heading toward the stairs. I walked behind him slowly.

After we reached the end of the stairs, he led me to a room. "Here," he said, pushing the door open aggressively.

I didn't bother to even look at him. I entered the room and closed the door behind me carefully. I tried locking the door, but my hands were super shaky.

I gave up and leaned against the door. I let out a shaky breath.

Why does everything have to be against me? I did nothing to any of them!

And now I have to live with them! With Chris especially. He tried killing me!

I walked to the side of the bed and lay on the floor, looking blankly at the ceiling. I shouldn't have said these words. What will they do to me?

Asher

We were sitting in the living room waiting for Mr Dante to come back.

Chris said he wanted us to be here when he met his sister. Yes, Alex has a sister. We didn't know he had one until earlier today.

He said he was nervous about meeting her alone and that it would be a good opportunity for us to meet her.

We don't know how this sister magically appeared out of nowhere. All we know is that his father got a call today telling him that his daughter is at the police station.

I looked at Alex. He was a nervous wreck. His left leg was bouncing up and down.

Mr Hannah was looking rather excited. She said she had a good feeling about this.

She knows the whole thing because Mr Dante explained it to her, but she said it is better to tell Alex and his sister everything together, so they say explain once and for all.

Moments later, we heard the front door open. We all stood up and walked toward the door.

Mr Dante entered first before holding the door open for the person behind him.

What are you doing here?" Alex roared.

"Meet your mother and brother, Sara," Mr Dante introduced with a huge smile.

"What the fuck?!" Alex screamed making me want to pull out my ears.

"Alex language!" Mr Dante said.

Sara opened her mouth to talk, but Miss Hannah engulfed her in a hug. She hugged Sara so tight I could swear it hurts.

Sara just stood there, no reaction. She was like a statue. Why isn't she hugging her back. Hug her the fuck back bitch!

"I couldn't have asked for a different daughter. The moment I saw you here last time, I knew you were different, " Miss Hannah said after pulling back. She had her hand on Sara's shoulders holding eye contact.

You met her?" Mr Dante asked.

"She is the girl I told you about who came to do the project," she explained, her hand going back to her sides again.

"Oh, that's her!" He started. "Your mother hasn't stopped talking about how polite and different you were when you came," Mr Dante said cheerfully.

"She can't be my sister! I hate her!" Alex screamed again suddenly. Sara looked at him weirdly. I can never seem to read her.

She then looked at Chris, who gave her a smile. Why is he giving her a smile? She looked at me, and I gave her an annoyed look. I hope she understands how much I despise her.

Alex, that is no way to talk to your sister!" Mr Dante roared at his son from behind Sara.

Sara flinched hardly. Why is she so weird? Haven't she heard someone scream before or what?

"Honey, you are scaring her," Ms Hannah told Mr Dante but not before giving him a warning glare.

Her signature glare to be exact. She never screams, but when she hates something, she just glare at the person doing it, and they immediately stop. It is so funny when it happens to people in front of you. But when it happens to you, it is hell!

"Dad, look at her she is a weirdo. Who flinches when someone raises their voice, " Alex remarked, looking at Sara up and down disgustingly.

"Alex, I'm not gonna warn you again. Stop talking like that to your sister," his father said again, but his voice was low this time. It was a warning.

"What happened Sara you always talk back at school. Stop acting so innocent and naive now!" Alex screamed again, but this time taking a step forward toward Sara.

"Alex, please stop," She begged. This isn't like Sara she always. And when I say always, I mean always talk back.

"No, no, you can't act too innocent now!" He screamed again. He took another step forward he was getting closer to Sara by each step he took.

"Alex okay stop" Chris said to Alex, trying to pull him back. Why bro, I want to see this?

"No!" Alex said, pushing Chris's hand away. "You can't be my sister! You can't ruin this for me! I swore I'd love her! I swore!" He shouted again.

He took another step toward Sara, so they were now standing toe to toe. Sara just gave him a blank face. That is what she always does when she is mad.

"Alex, that's it. I said stop!" Mr Dante screamed at Alex, making Sara flinch. Again. Weirdo.

"Dad, you don't understand!" Alex shouted again but at his father.

"You think I want to be here!" Sara suddenly snapped. "My dad died today, and I can't even grieve him properly!" She screamed again.

This made Alex and I take a step backwards. Her father died.

Oh my god, that why she looks like that. Okay, maybe Alex went too far now. Her father died. Omg I can't believe this. How does she look so pulled together. I would have collapsed.

"You think I want to be here so badly? I just want to sit in my house alone! But no! I have to meet my new family!" She continued a single tear fell from her eyes.

Why did they take her? Where is her mother? Didn't she want her or what?

"Okay, that's enough for today. Asher shows Sara the guest room that she will be staying at until her room gets ready. We need to talk to Alex. " Mr Dante ordered me.

You gotta be kidding me. Why me? I don't want to, but I know I have to.

I looked at Sara and then looked at the stairs, hoping she would get the hint and follow me. Thankfully, she did.

I walked to the guest room and opened it for her. I opened it a bit more aggressive than I intended to.

"Here" I motioned for her. She didn't even glance at me. She just entered and closed it to my face.

I heard her shuffling trying to close to the door but then giving up. I left her and went back downstairs.  I saw Chris and Alex sitting on the big couch while Mr Hannah and Mr Dante each sat on a chair.

I went and sat next to Alex.

"Can someone explain to us what is happening?" Alex said.

"Well, firstly, that is no way to talk to your sister, young man. I won't tolerate such behaviour." Mr Dante started, and Alex rolled his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes on me, young man!" Mr Dante roared. Alex murmured a sorry before looking at the floor. Mr Dante took a deep breath in before starting.

"The police station called me this morning saying that my daughter is with them. I told them it was the wrong number and was about to hang up, but the officer interrupted me. He said, "Aren't you Mr Dante Carter ?" and I said yes, then he said he wanted me to come to the station, which I did." He stopped for a second to take another deep breath.

"I went there, and they told me that my daughter that I gave to adoption foster parents died and if I want to take her in. I told them that I didn't have a daughter, but they said she matched my DNA in the system. I was shocked, to say the least . I ordered another DNA test, and it matched mine and your mothers. " Mr Dante stopped and looked at his wife. Ms. Hannah gave him a reassuring smile and nodded.

"We thought we lost your sister on the surgery. But it looks like she was kidnapped and putted for adoption. They said that she was given to adoption anonymously on the same day of the procedure. She was adopted by Sara foster parents after a few days. Sara never knew she was adopted until today. You have to take it easy on her, Alex. She got a lot on her plate. " Mr Hannah finished.

"Just imagine what it is like for her. Take it easy on her, Alex. And that is an order. " Mr Dante finalised.

"Do you guys want dinner?" Ms Hannah said, trying to enlighten the mood a bit.

"No, thank you, Ms Hannah. I need to go it is getting late," I said, standing up. Chris is following. "Yeah, we need to go," he said.

"No please guys sleep over today," she offered.

"I can't thanks for the offer though." I smiled at her. "Me neither thanks, Ms Hannah," Chris said.

"Guys, please," Alex pleaded. I looked at Chris, and we both broke a smile.

"Fine, fine, we will stay no reason to beg. I joked, earning a smack from Alex.

"I'm getting the bigger bed," I screamed before running up the stairs.

"No, no, you always do that!" Chris screamed, running behind me with Alex a few steps behind him

I entered the room and jumped on the larger bed. "Got it!" I said.

"That not fair," Alex whined, taking another bed while Chris took the last one. Yes, this room has three beds.

Mr Dante made it for us, so whenever we sleep over, we all stay in one room. He is the best.

"Let's play some video games," Chris suggested.

"Of course," Alex said with a huge smile.

●●●●●●●

We stayed the whole night playing. It was now 3 a.m., and everyone was asleep. But for some reason, I just couldn't.

I was just laying on my bed looking at the ceiling. I decided to go get myself some water. Maybe it will help me sleep. I stood up slow making sure not to wake the rest up.

I opened the door and left it a bit open when I exited. It would be easier like this when I come back.

I was about to go down the stairs when I heard a faint sound coming from Sara's room.

I slowly walked to it and eardropped. You can hear faint sounds but I couldn't understand what was she saying.

She sounded like she was having a nightmare. My hand moved up to open the door but it suddenly stopped.

What am I doing? What if she is having a nightmare? What does that have to do with me?

Why is my hand aching to open the door and comfort her? Why is my heart aching for the that she is hurt?

It is because of hate. Yeah that why! I'm mad I'm not the one hurting her.

I left her and went downstairs to the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of water and drank it all in one chug. I then walked back upstairs.

I opened the door of the room slowly and closed it behind me. I laid on my bed and looked at the ceiling  once again.

●●●●●●●

I don't know when did I sleep last night but I woke up today to Alex screaming.

"Wake up you lazy pig breakfast is ready" Alex screamed. I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly.

"Go to hell" I groaned before getting up.

"We are waiting for you downstairs" Alex said before leaving.

I went to the bathroom did my business, washed my teeth and went downstairs. I went the kitchen to find Mr Hannah flipping pancakes while the rest were seated around the table.

"Where is you sister?" Mr Dante asked Alex. I completely forgot about her. "Omg I forgot about her can one of you wake her up please" Alex said.

"Hell nah man!" I said which made Alwx raise his eyebrow at me.

"You owe me one" Alex started and a raised a questioning eyebrow at him. " the last party we went to. Do you really want me to say it infront of everybody" he said holding back a laugh. And I remembered.

I eruptly stood up. I don't want everyone knowing that. I gave him a glare before going up the stairs.

I knocked on Sara's door multiple times but no answer. I knocked again still no answer. I opened the door and looked at the room. It was untouched.

She ran away!
