Chapter 4?! IS THIS REAL LIFE?!
Yes guys, I know it's been long long time but before you all start screaming "IT'S BEEN TWO AND A HALF WEEKS!" and all the blah blah blah... Keep in mind that, it was SO DIFFICULT for me and Joan to Skype each other. And plus the fact that today (actually yesterday cause chances are Joan is asleep by now - hehehe, sleepy head - so we can't upload it today) when we skyped each other, we somehow found ourselves three hours later, both with our guitars in our hands trying to learn Seven Nation Army and a bunch of other songs. Joanna performed a few songs (She's freaking amazing at everything, singing, playing the guitar... Tell her in the reviews that she's awesome cause she doesn't believe me) and we were just joking around, Joan giving me a few guitar lessons since she's better at playing the guitar... and singing... and a lot of things if you ask me.
Anyway you're all probably getting bored soo I'm gonna leave you to the chapter written by both me and Jay (Jay: My nickname for Joan [Joan: My nickname for Joanna {Joanna: Her name}]).
Remember to review with what you think and tell Joan she's awesome cause maybe she'll believe you!
ENJOY!

Before on Lost And Hidden:
"Never had, never will." Dad said as he left the room, with mum following behind. I looked at Ally, seeing her looking where they left through the door with glassy eyes. I quickly embraced her in a hug, as I knew what was going to follow. Lots and lots of crying, coming not only from Ally, but also from me. It's turned into a regular thing in our lives, that's for sure.
Now on Lost And Hidden:
30 November 2007
"Wait... Have you really never gotten a birthday party?" Rydel asks shocked.
"Well, we never really got anything we wanted. Our brother and sister were always the loved ones, they got all the attention from our parents. We were the forgotten kids..." 'Ally' says sadly, looking down. I nod.
"Cassidy and Dallas were always in a better condition than us. They want to go out with some friends and watch a movie? Of course they can. We want to go? No, why should they let us?" I whine. Riker and Rydel look at us sympathetically.
"Well, we all know which two ended up with a better personality and a golden heart." Riker says smiling at us. We smile back.
"So, two days after, it was our birthday..."
*Flashback*
29 November 2007
I woke up with blinding light coming out from our room's open window shining on my face. I groaned and turned around so I wouldn't get blinded by the light. Suddenly realization hit me.
"Ally, wake up!" I said jumping out of my bed and running to hers. "It's our birthday!" I yelled shaking her. When she heard those words she shot up and smiled excitedly.
"We're teenagers?" she asked smiling widely. Then she moved in and attacked me in a hug. "We're teenagers! Finally!" she screamed pulling away.
"I know!" I said jumping out of bed. We ran out of our room and down the stairs screaming. In the kitchen there was mum and dad eating breakfast. When they saw us screaming, they turned to us.
"Stop screaming! You're gonna wake Cassidy and Dallas! Geez, you guys will never learn!" mum said looking at us.
"Oh, sorry… But we are officially teenagers!" Ally said.
"Yea!" I exclaimed agreeing. They looked at each other. They FREAKING looked at each other. Why? I decided not to talk and wait for them to go first.
"Um, what are you talking about? You are 12!" dad said. Whoa, whoa whoa! They can't forget our birthday!
"It's our birthday today! You remember, right?" I asked with a hint of hope in my voice. Realization filled their faces.
"Of course we remember! What are we stupid?" dad asked. I was afraid to answer, so Ally stepped in.
"We didn't say anything like that!" she said quietly, not wanting to be yelled at.
"But you thought so!" mom screamed at us. "You know what? I'm done with you! Go lock yourselves somewhere and don't get out 'till tomorrow!" Next thing you hear is groaning. We turn and see our older siblings dragging themselves down the stairs.
"Ugh! You two had to wake us up didn't you?" Cassidy said angrily.
"Seriously, good thing we're not related, cause I'd be ashamed." Dallas added glaring at us. We looked at each other confused, and then at our parents, who looked like they could kill Dallas any minute now.
"Dallas! Why did you give it away! It was supposed to be a secret!" Mum screamed glaring at him. He quickly covered his mouth.
"No mum I didn't mean to say it! I'm sorry! It's just, when you've got adoptive brother and sister, it's kinda difficult not to let it slip!" Dallas said looking at mum. I gasped.
"We're adopted?!" Ally said as I widened my eyes.
"You've been lying to us this whole time?" I asked, feeling hurt.
"Well, yeah but you were too young to understa-" mum started but got cut off.
"We'll be in our room. Wake us up when it's all over." Ally said as she made her way towards our room and I followed close behind her.
We got in and locked the door. I took my guitar and she got out her notebook. And that was it. By an hour or so we had a full song ready.
"Should we play it once more? Just to be sure." Ally asked.
"Yea of course!" I said and started strumming the guitar that brought enough money to us, so we can live.
"Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start" I sang
"They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me" Ally continued.
"So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost" we both sang harmonizing perfectly.
"I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plan" Ally continued.
"Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize" I sang.
"So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost" I continued.
"So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost" Ally repeated.
"Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know" We sang and slowly drifted off to sleep.
*End of Flashback*
"Whoa guys you seriously have been through A LOT!" Rydel says.
"You are telling us?" I exclaim and continue. "They were, also, going to scream their heads off at us! Fortunately, we were asleep, so they didn't!"
"Yeah, imagine if we were awake. Maybe then we could get some answers about our biological family, but I'd rather not, they could lie for that too." 'Ally' says looking down.
"Why don't you? You can go to the government, they can find your family!" Rydel exclaims happily. We look down sadly.
"We can't get it. We have to be 18 or older." I say. "But we didn't know that. Well, we did, but we hadn't realized. That's why we resulted in running away to find our family. That's another part of the story."
"Well, we still have time!" Riker says looking at his watch.
"Okay, so... It was the next day, early in the morning..."
A/N:
Hey guys! Long time no chap !
We were feeling so bad we didn't update that we skyped each other in the middle of my sister's name day celebration and Andriana's brother's birthday party. To be honest? Such a life saver! You have no idea how annoying it was! Every now and then I had children running all around my room and Andrew [Andrew= Andriana's nickname by me] had a bunch of teenagers asking if they could sink and surprise the other guys through her balcony.
Anw enough about that. I hope you liked the chapter and that you'll write your thoughts in reviews.
Joan xxxx
P.S. I'm not that good at singing... I'm only good at matching songs with text messages or in this case, stories.
