Chapter 1

Emma was on her way to meet her sister for the very first time. She could hardly wait. She was really going to do this. Luckily she wouldn't have the foster care on her. And she could hardly wait to meet Sutton. The bus stopped at a stop in Yuma, Arizona. This is as far as I go, everybody off said the bus driver. Emma started to freak out Sutton was in Tuscon and she was in Yuma. It was two in the morning would Sutton come and get her? She pulled out her blackberry and scrolled through her contacts and found Sutton's number.

"Hello?" Sutton said irritated.

"Hey... Can you come get me?" Emma asked.

"Why? Aren't you taking the bus?" Sutton asked.

"Well... I guess it only takes you to Yuma." She said.

"Yuma! That's three hours away." Sutton said.

"I know. I know." She said. " But I don't have anymore money on me now."

"Fine, I'm on my way." She said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Emma said.

Sutton pulled up in BMW convertible. She waved at Emma signaling for her to get in. Emma thanked Sutton a million more times. When they got back to Sutton's house it was five in the morning. Sutton took Emma to the side of the house where a door-like window stood. Sutton went inside and let Emma in too. Sutton got into some striped pajamas. She tossed some polka dot ones toward Emma.

"I'm super tired, so I'm going to go to bed." Sutton said. "You can sleep in my bed with me."

"Okay." Emma said putting on the pajamas. Emma went over to Sutton and gave her a hug.

"I'm glad I got to meet you, sister." Emma said

"Me too." Sutton said. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." She said.

Emma and Sutton got into bed and drifted to sleep. Emma dreamed that the Mercer's would accept her and take her in. And her and Sutton would have so much fun together. Sutton's and Emma's dreams were quickly erupted when Sutton's mom came in to wake up Sutton. Their eyes shot wide open when the door opened. They both saw Mrs. Mercer.

"Sutton care to explain?" Her mom said.

"Yeah, Uh... can I talk to you and dad in private." Sutton asked.

"Sure." She said smiling at Emma. "Can you excuse us for a moment?"

"Yeah." Emma said.

Emma heard Sutton and her parents talking outside the bedroom when she heard a fourth voice. It must have been Sutton' s sister. She started getting nervous they were going to throw her out. She started getting into the clothes she was wearing when she arrived in Arizona. Sutton came in along with the rest of her family. Emma heard them ask her why she hadn't told her earlier. She told them she found out last night and she asked her to come to Tuscon. They agreed to let Emma stay. They came back into the room.

"Sorry, if I caused any problems." Emma said "I didn't mean to. If you want me to leave I will."

"No of course not." Mrs. Mercer said. "You can stay with us honey."

"Thank you." Emma said.

"This is my mom Kirsten, my dad Ted, and my sister Laurel." Sutton said. "And this is Emma."

"Hi everyone." She said.

"Well summer break is almost over. So we better get you enrolled in school." Ted said.

"Thank you for everything." She said.

Sutton convinced her dad to let her and Emma go picked out an outfit for Emma to they went to the mall. Sutton picked out most of Emma's outfit. She tossed designer jeans, shirts, skirts, shoes, and sweaters. Sutton said if she was her sister she needed to look good. All the clothes were foreign to Emma. Almost every outfit she tried on Sutton bought. After Sutton got them two smoothies.

"Sutton!" Someone said.

"Char!" Sutton said.

"Why are their two of you?" Char said

"Oh, this is my twin." She said. "Her name is Emma."

Char gave Emma a big hug. "Nice to meet you Emma. Hate to leave so quickly but I got to go."

"Bye." Emma and Sutton said.

"Well you've met one of my two best friends." Sutton said.

When they got home dinner was about done. Emma and Sutton put the clothes in Sutton's bedroom. And went back into the dinning room which was not divided with the kitchen or living room. Laurel was in the living room watching t.v. and Mr. Mercer was at the counter in the kitchen on his laptop and Mrs. Mercer was making dinner. When they finally sat down for dinner Emma realized Sutton's dog Drake.

"You have a dog?" She asked slash said.

"Yeah. Drake the Great Dane." Sutton replied.

"Oh." She said.

"Anyways, Emma we cleared out the guest bedroom and it's yours now." Ted said.

"We got you a desk, but we can go shopping to decorate it later." Kirsten said.

"Great. Thanks again." She said.

"No problem." Ted and Kirsten said.

"What do you guys do for a living?" Emma asked.

"Well I'm a doctor." Mr. Mercer said.

"And I'm a stay at home mom." Mrs. Mercer said.

"Cool."Emma said.

After dinner Sutton showed Emma the guest bedroom. It had pastel blue walls and a white desk in the corner, a window like Sutton's with white curtains, and white night stands with white lamps with blue ribbons around them, white carpeted floor, a wooden dresser, and a mirror. The bathroom had blue fuzzy rugs and a Blue polka dot shower curtain. The bed had a blue striped comforter. It was Emma's dream room. Sutton let Emma pick out some pajamas. She chose green tank top with blue short shorts with fish on them. And went to her room wich was diagonal from Sutton's room. And went to sleep.
