CHAPTER 10
LIZZIE'S POV:
"Lizzie! Oh, honey, I love you SO much! You can't believe how much I missed you!" said my mom grasping a hold of me and giving me the hugest hug of my life. "I missed you too, honey. I was so worried!" said my dad, also giving me a hug.
"Where's Matt mom?" I asked. "He's back here honey in the room. He's been quiet ever since you went missing," mom replied sincerely.
"Matt?" I asked and I looked in the room and found him curled in the corner sleeping. "Matt, your sister's here!" mom said as she tried to wake him up. He slowly opened his eyes and yawned, "Yeah, mom?" he asked quietly. "Your sister's here, honey," mom said. "She is? Cool," he said. Then he saw me and gave a little smile and said, "Hi, Lizzie. I'm glad you're ok." Aw. He wasn't totally happy that I was gone. "Thanks," I replied.
"Honey? There's something we need to tell you," dad said then looked at mom who gave him an irritated look. "Sam! She just went through all the trauma of being kidnapped! We shouldn't have to tell her now!" mom whispered, although kind of loudly because I heard her.
I was confused. What did they need to tell me? Was it important? They weren't liked getting a divorce were they? No. They seemed happy. Were they having a baby? No. They didn't want any more kids.or did they? Maybe we were moving or something. I would hope not, but I NEEDED TO FIND OUT NOW!!!!! Or else it would bug me forever.
"Mom? What is it? What do you need to tell me?" I asked. I gave a glance to Gordo to see if who knew anything, but he only shrugged. "Oh. It can WAIT honey," she said emphasizing the word "wait" probably for my dad. She gave him a look that probably meant, "don't tell her."
"Mom, it's ok. I want to know or otherwise I'll be wondering. Please," I said and gave her my sad eyes look. She hesitated but then said, "Ok, honey, just don't freak out." I nodded for her to continue.
She looked up at Gordo who was standing there in curiosity. "Gordo? Would you mind stepping out of the room for a minute, please?" she asked. "Ok, Mrs. McGuire," he said and walked out the door.
My mom grabbed my hand and looked at me. "Lizzie. I'm so glad you're back. I missed you and if Paolo hurt you in ANY way you let me know, and I'll go to the prison and pull him out and give him what he deserves for hurting MY baby," she said. Ok. Where was mom getting at now? What was her point?
"Well, I'm glad everything's ok now," she said. Obviously she was dragging her feet as long as she could before she got to the real news. My parents seemed to do that sometimes.
"Now to the point." she started. FINALLY. "You are a twin," she said. "No, duh," I thought. We ALL knew this was right. "Mom, how else do you think I got misinterpreted at Isabella?" I asked.
"No, no, honey.I mean that you and Isabella are twins by birth. Sisters," she said. My jaw dropped open. I wasn't expecting THAT. She MUST to be kidding me. "M-m-mom!!!! OH.MY.GOSH!!!!!" I yelled, "You CAN'T be serious!"
"Honey, I am, and I'm sorry that I never told you before. I tried to erase my mistake, but I should've realized you would find out," she said. "Mom! Do you see how my life is affected now? How can Isabella be my.sister?" I asked. It didn't seem right. It seemed unbelievable.
"Your father and I were young. We didn't know what to do. We weren't thinking. I didn't want two daughters, but I didn't want an abortion. So, I gave Isabella up for adoption. I love you and I'm so sorry, Lizzie. Please forgive my mistake," she said slowly.
I looked down at the ground. My eyes started watering up. Isabella and I were.sisters? Twins? I couldn't believe it. I started walking slowly away from my mom. She kept on repeating "sorry, sorry," over and over again. I stopped in my tracks and ran back to my mom. I hugged her and cried my eyes out. "I love you, Mom! But why didn't you ever tell me before?" I asked. "I wanted to protect you. I didn't want you to know the mistake I made," she said, "I'm SO sorry for what I've done. Do you forgive me?" "I-I think so. L-l-let.g-give me some time to think about it," I said and walked out the door.
I wiped away my tears and looked at Gordo. I tried to hide away my feelings like nothing happened but Gordo caught me. "Lizzie? Are you ok?" he asked. I tried to keep in my tears when I said, "I'm fine, Gordo.th-th- thanks." "Hey, Gordo?" I asked, "Let's go look around Rome, ok?" "Fine with me," he responded.
We walked outside into the front of the building. Normally if I was still with Paolo, I probably would've been sneaking out and then we'd go onto his motorcycle. I trusted Paolo.did I screw up. This time I was with Gordo strolling around Rome. We weren't sneaking out, and he didn't own any transportation except for our feet. Those work!
"Want to go to the Trevi fountain AGAIN, Lizzie? We never revisited it.er.at least I never did!" "Ok, Gordo." We walked over to it, and it was beautiful. "Aw, Gordo! It's shining so bright. It looks especially nice and clear today. It's so beautiful," I said. "Yes, you are," said Gordo. Hey- hey. WAIT??? Where have I heard that before, and did Gordo say what I thought he did?!
"Wait a second, Gordo. WHAT did you say?" I asked glancing at him. He turned red and stuttered, "I-I-I s-said that the FOUNTAIN is beautiful. T-t- the the fountain. Yeah, that's it. I was a-a-agreeing with y-y-you. The fountain is beautiful," he said once again. Ok. Why is Gordo acting weird? If I heard what he said, he must.no. Uh-uh. No, that can't be it. I must have heard wrong.
"Hey, Gordo? I just gotta cool idea. Let's go up to the rooftop and look at the sunset! It must be beautiful from there," I said dreamily. "O-ok, yeah, let's go," he said and off we went.
