Chapter 2 – The Revealing
They stopped outside the hospital, and so did the cab driver, they got out of the car, and went in, so I followed them, they went to the waiting room, stayed there for only a few seconds, before the doctor came and talked to them, they seemed happy, so I guess she had her baby? They followed the doctor, and I followed them.
I sat outside the room they were all in, just waiting for Brooke to come out so I could talk to her, tell her about me, who I am, and why I am here. And a few minutes later, like I wanted, Brooke came out, and I, stupidly, just went to her, stood in front of her, she was shocked, I could see it in her eyes, I had the same expression when I was shocked. We stood there for a few seconds, but then something happened, Brooke opened her mouth and started talking, she said:
´´You´re… me?`` I laughed,
´´That sounds like something I would say.``
´´Wait, who are you? And WHY do you look like me?`` Brooke said.
´´You´re Brooke Right?`` I asked.
´´Yeah, and you are?`` Brooke really wanted to know who I was. So, I told her.
´´I´m Julia Simmons, and I know that this might sound strange, but… I'm your sister, we´re twins, my biological mother is Victoria Davis, my mum never told me who my father is. And if I were in your shoes I would think that this is out of the blue and I wouldn't believe this, but it is true, I found out yesterday, and look at me, we look the same, so it is a really big fat chance that this is true.``
I was afraid that she was going to reject me, but she didn't, all she said was
´´OK`` I looked at her…
´´OK?``
´´Yeah, Ok, so do you want to go back to my place? I´d really like to get to know you…``
´´Oh, sure, I´d love to``
It was a few minutes long drive from the hospital to Brooke's huge, perfect, beautiful house.
´´Wow, do you live here?`` I asked.
´´Yea, but it is my friend Rachel´s house, I´m her roommate, I used to have one of these houses, but my dad, our dad, got broke and sold it…``
´´Too bad, I live in a big house, kind of like this, maybe bigger in San Francisco``
´´So, San Francisco, huh?``
´´Yeah, something wrong with it?`` I asked, carefully, not to pushy.
´´No, I've actually thought of moving there once, a few years ago. I found this big white house, near the beach, on Lombard street, I'm sure you know where it is, but it was just so perfect! But the day I went to see it, just when I was in front of the house, I got a phone call saying it was sold, and then I saw a blonde, a brunette, and a guy, I didn't see the brunette clear though. But those bitches and that superhot guy bought that house!`` Brooke said.
I looked at her, surprised, shocked.
´´What?`` Brooke asked.
´´Lombard street, big white house, my house, bitches, me and my mum, that superhot guy, that's my dad, and that's disgusting.``
´´Oh, I am so sorry!``
´´It´s OK, you didn't know.``
Then she looked at me. It kind of freaked me out.
´´What now?`` I asked.
´´Oh my god, you parents are so HOT! Your dad is like 20, and you're 18, what was he like 2 when he adopted you? And your mum, she looks even younger!``
´´My dad is 42 and my mum is 39, and what can I say? A hot girl needs hot parents.``
´´That totally sounds like something I would say!``
´´Well we are twins aren't we?``
Brooke and I spent the rest of the day together, just kept talking and talking, we really enjoyed being together, well, at least I did, but judging from the look in her eyes, she did too.
We liked each other so much that Brooke even asked me to stay with her instead of spending all that money at a hotel room when I can crash at my sisters, and just get to know her even more than I already do, even if I think that's pretty impossible. But we had fun this day, so why not this night? Or tomorrow?
