"Massie, Sweetheart? Could you please say something?" William Block pleaded from the couch opposite the one Massie was sitting on. Massie Refused to look her father in the eye. Instead his focused all of her attention on the mounting spilt ends at the bottom of her hair.
Massie could not believe her father had cheated on her mother. Thirteen years ago. And she had a sister. Massie peered out of the corner of her eye at Audrina. She shared Massie's chocolate brown hair but unlike Massie, Audrina had piercing, light blue eyes. She looked to be around 5'6" and had a flawless complection. And she was skinny. Massie hated to admit it but this mistake of nature was gorgeous. She had to go.
"Daddy, why?" Massie stared her father straight in the eyes. She could feel her nerves working overtime and her chin was begging to quiver. All Massie wanted to do was yell for her Daddy to come and save her. Unfortunately, unless this man in front of her was an identical twin, he could not save her from himself. She would not let him see her break. Not in front of the bastard child.
"Honey, I was young and I thought I was in love. Your mother was going to leave me, so I started to go out more and more. I met Holly at Planet Hollywood and we dated for a while. Then one day, your mother came up to me and told me she was four months pregnant. I told Holly I couldn't leave her . . ." Her father removed his glasses and began to rub his eyebrows. His foot was tapping against the hard wood floor as it always did when he found himself in an uncomfortable situation.
Massie turned her head to look at herself in the mirror in the hallway. The girl in the mirror stared back at her with empty eyes. Her body contorted by invisible wounds. A girl whose normal life was beginning to be twisted out from underneath her. And what was worst of all: she was going to age prematurely from all the frowning she was doing.
"Massie, Holly was pregnant too. Audrina was born three months after you. Holly contacted me about two years ago because Audrina had asked to meet me for her eleventh birthday. Holly and I have been dated ever since." Massie felt another pang shot through her chest. She had always thought she wanted a sibling until about 5 hours ago.
"Daddy . . . this is a joke right!" she screamed jumping inti her feet. "I don't deserve this. I am Massie fricken' Block!! This is not fair! I don't want a sister!" Massie sprinted off into the bathroom. Locking the door, turning on the sink, turning on the fan and the bath tub, Massie let it all out. She was making so much noise she didn't notice a dog snuggling up to her new sister and her parents signing the final documents.
And all at once her father and her nightmare was gone. And so was the perfect life she had worked so hard to achieve over the last year.
