Summary: Two twin sisters, separated at birth, find their way back to one another and manage to find a whole different side of love in the process.
She watched the view pass her by as she drove her car down the long winding road that would take her back to the town she had once believed to be her home. It hadn't been her home for years of course, but looking back that had been a good thing. Now, the reason for her heading back hanging painfully above her, she knew the time had come to face whatever demons she had left behind and tackle them head on.
The letter she had received the previous week was sitting nestled in the car seat beside her, almost like an omen egging her on, pushing her towards the city that she had been taken from so long ago by who she had only known as her loving father. Now that had all been torn to shreds and she had to confront it head on. Though making the words of the letter disappear would have been a much better option.
Melissa,
I have been made aware that you will have no idea who I am, but it is time that you are made aware and I am so sorry that it has to be done this way through a letter. I am your mother, and although you were taken, rather stripped from me after birth, there has never been a day that has gone by where I have not thought about you and where you have ended up in your life. I have also been made aware that you have been told horrible lies about your Mothers fate, and also that of any siblings you have. I am sending this letter to dispel those vicious lies and to finally tell you the truth. You have a sister, a twin sister to be more exact, and with me getting on in years and the Cancer taking its toll on me, I believe its time you came back and we finally can go about settling this. It has been years and its time we make up for that before it is too late.
Signed, Your Mother Always,
Denise
As she drove, coming across a small gas station and passing a short glance at the fuel gauge, the words of the letter seeped into her conscious again. How could she have gone the last twenty five years of her life not knowing she had a sister? Not only that but how could she have not felt that her Mother was really alive and well all of this time? Could her father really have gone this far and kept her from the only real family she had ever known?
She wanted to kick herself for not asking the important questions of him before he passed away the year before, a stroke taking what was left of the man who worked way to fast and lived way too hard for her entire life, childhood included.
Pulling into the gas station and lining her car up, she took a deep breath before heading outside into the fresh air. By her timing she had only another half hour of a drive before she would hit the town she hadn't seen since she was a very young child.
Get a grip Melissa. You may get there and find out this was just someone's idea of a sick joke.
Letting that thought linger in her brain she seemed to find it easier to set the car up to fill it with gas. Yes there was still a chance this was all a joke and that her father really had been the stand up truthful man she had believed him to be.
It was then she looked up at the sound and sight of another car entering the very out of the way gas station. When she had been driving earlier she had been amazed at just how few people seemed to drive through the town, down the small virtually lifeless highway. Was it that everyone that lived there dreamed of escape, or that people were just so happy they never wanted to leave?
Obviously another question that could be answered at a later time.
Taking in the car before her, she realized her car couldn't even come close in comparison. Which piqued her interest more. Just what was someone driving a very new model Porsche doing on this lone country road?
It wasn't going to take her long to find out. Like a blast of fresh air two men stepped from the car and looked around the same way she herself had. Only their eyes didn't end where hers had. They ended up directly on the only other living target in the outside area.
Her.
"Well look at what we have here Ted! There are actually living people in this deadbeat town. I was starting to think the rumours were true."
The man speaking had to have the longest hair she had ever seen on a man, and she was from a big city, there wasn't much she hadn't seen, and he reminded her of someone famous but in that moment she was too stunned by his speaking that she had no idea who that might be. He was dressed in moderately normal clothes and looked to be as secure of himself as anyone back in her hometown of Toronto, Canada.
She then noticed the second man, so was now coming around their car and closer to hers. She immediately backed up, more out of force of habit then necessity, but that's not how they seemed to take it when they watched.
"Don't worry, we aren't going to hurt you. We're just getting gas since speed freak here decided to blow all of ours doing tricks with his new ride. "
As nervous as she was at this nearly abandoned gas station, she couldn't help but smile at the way the younger man spoke. He had a slight accent and if she didn't know better, she would figure he could fit in well in the small town she was making her way to. Before she had a chance to do anything else, he spoke again.
" The names Ted, and that guy over there, the speed demon, well he's John. We're on our way to a show and well you know the rest."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Melissa and I'm.." she broke off then, not sure what to tell these virtual strangers. All she knew in that moment was, that if she didn't say something, she might never get used to what awaited her when she finally reached her destination.
"I'm Melissa and I'm heading home."
