Secrets And Lies
Disclaimer: Don't sue me! I don't have anything you would want!
A/N: My second fic! Probably going to be based around Olivia and Mason. Hope you like! I am going to do the missing scene of my other fic but I just wanted to get a start on this. Enjoy!
Summary:What if there was another reason for Karen marrying Stan…
On the living room wall of the Walker penthouse sits a large family portrait, which was taken many years ago. They look like the perfect happy family. There's Mum, Dad, Son and Daughter. Daughter sits of Daddy's knee, while Son sits on Mum's. With all of their cheesy grins, you could think they were the most perfect and happy family alive. But all families have their secrets and flaws.
'Mason, hurry up and get out of the bathroom!' Fourteen-year-old Olivia Walker yelled to her twin brother. 'I've got ballet class at eleven and if I'm late I'll get in shit!' Olivia was a petite girl. She had dark brown hair, brown eyes and a very pale complexion.
'Calm down! I'll be out in two minutes!' Mason said while trying to keep the toothpaste in his mouth. He loved making his sister squirm about being late for ballet. Mason looked very similar to his sister but with blue eyes.
'Dad, would you tell Mason to hurry up?' Olivia complained to her father as he walked by.
'He'll be out in a few minutes.' Stan laughed at his daughter's eccentrics. Stan was a rather large man. Many people wondered how Olivia and Mason weren't heavy like him. Stan had very light brown hair. He didn't look at all like his children.
'But I'm going to be late for ballet!' Olivia continued to complain.
'No, you're not! It's only nine o'clock.' Stan continued to laugh. 'And if you are running late see if Karen will give you a lift.' Olivia kept knocking on the bathroom door while Stan walked away.
'I'm out now. Chill out!' Mason laughed at his sister's cross expression. He made at face at Olivia before walking away.

'Mason, honey, what are you doing today?' Karen asked Mason. Karen was Mason and Olivia's stepmother, however she was the only mother figure in their lives.
'I'm going to the batting cages with some of my friends from school.' Mason answered while pouring himself a glass of water.
'What about you Olivia?'
'I've got ballet class in twenty minutes then I'm going shopping later on this afternoon. And then Mason and I have both got drama class.' Olivia was running around trying to find her leotard and ballet shoes.
'I'm heading to Grace's office. Do you want me to give you both a lift down?' Karen asked. What was the point on them walking if she was driving by both places?
'Yes please!' Olivia was relieved to be getting a lift. She would probably have to run if she didn't. 'Karen, you need to go in and pay the ballet fees to the teacher and pay the acting class fees tonight as well.' Olivia was better at organising everything than either Karen or Stan were.
'Okay, I'll write a check while I'm there.'

At the ballet studio, Karen and Olivia were talking to the teacher. There were a few people new to the class were stretching nearby.
'Wow, that girl is the double of her mum!' The dancer whispered to her friend. She didn't know Karen was Olivia's stepmother.

Later that evening at acting class, Karen was again paying term fees to the teacher.
'Don't they all look alike?' a new student said to somebody that knew Olivia and Mason.
'That's their stepmum.' The older student informed the newcomer.
'Really?' the new student didn't believe it.

Looking at the family portrait that hangs in the Walker penthouse, you would think they are the perfect happy family. In some ways they are. But all families have secrets. All families have lies.
Stan lies to his children every day
Karen lies to everybody she knows.
A/N: There's the first chapter. I know it's a bit short but bear with me! Hope you enjoy!
