My laptop and internet have been acting up, so it took me awhile till I could work on this chapter, sorry and enjoy!

"...what?" I asked, completely blindsided. "Yeah… we used to go on playdates when we were really little. I wasn't gonna say anything because I knew it'd be kind of weird, but I couldn't hold back, sorry." I stay still, completely shocked, mouth wide open. I had no idea what to say. I have a cousin? And it's her? And Mom wasn't an only child...? "I thought," I paused, "I thought Mom was an only child?" Izzie was a little taken back, "You didn't know your Mom had a brother?!" I shook my head at her statement. Izzie thought for a moment with her head tilted then began,"Well, dad did say they lived separate…" Oh, guess that makes sense. I still don't get why she didn't tell me… ehhhhhhhhhh I don't want to think about it anymore. She was right, it is kind of weird.
I stayed quiet for a little while longer, thinking about what to say next and how awkward it is right now. "So Mom had a brother… didn't you say your dad was American though?" Izzie laughed, probably glad that the awkward air went away. "I have two Dads actually!" She said happily, starting to walk back to Karma's room again, I followed her a bit surprised by her statement. "Is it hard having two Dads?" I asked nonchalantly, she was a bit confused then thought about it, "No… I was bullied a little when I first came to school, but then the teachers had a talk with the school and after that everyone just dropped it. It wasn't that bad, and I happen to really like my Dads!" She giggled. I smiled.
We walked quietly for a few minutes until Izzie spoke back up, I couldn't help but notice her blush, "So, uh, are you and Karma… involved?" I laughed at the way she worded it, it was very adorable. "Yes, we've been going out for a little more than a week now." She turned around and blushed even more, but this time was smiling as well. What the… "Have you guys KISSED yet?!" She asked very excitedly, getting all up in my face. I blushed from the very sudden question. "WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT!?" I screamed with my still very intense blush on my face. She laughed, "Hey! I'm just curious! Besides, I've only seen you guys together once and you're already my OTP, AND I WANT DETAILS." I laughed, my blush going away now, but not
completely.
"You sound like my friend Kayano." I said, still laughing. Izzie got stars in her eyes, "WHO IS THIS PERSON AND WHEN CAN I MEET THEM?" She asked surprisingly very happy. I smiled then started walking again towards Karma's room, which was just around the corner, "She's actually in Karma's room right now," Izzie looked at me wide eyes, sprinting past me to the room, but stopping at the door for me to go in first. I opened the door then went in, casually going back to where I was sitting before, noticing everybody was laughing for some reason. Izzie came in shortly after me, kindly handing Karma his milk. "Is there anything else?" She asked almost as if she was his maid, making me laugh a little bit. "Not right now, but maybe later." He laughed at her, "Okay then." She came over and stood by me, since all the seat were pretty much taken. She tilted over over and whispered in my ear, "Which one's Kayano?" She backed away and I eyed at Kayano who was literally right beside her. Everybody looked at us weird, considering we just met and we seem to be close. Izzie started making conversation with Kayano, while Karma started speaking, "Did you get her name by the way? I think she kind of forgot to introduce herself." I laughed, and Izzie seemed to hear what he said and gasped, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! My name is Izabelle, but call me Izzie!" She bowed to everyone, she received a small laugh small everyone and went back to talking to Kayano.
"So," I started, getting everyone's attention, "I know this might be weird, but turns out Izzie and are cousins." Everyone froze in shock at the sudden change of topic. They looked over at Izzie who was standing awkwardly, getting all kind of looks. "I knew you guys looked similar, but I didn't think you were actually related… that's so cool!" Karma spoke up, excited about the new development. I laid down on the bed next to Karma, relaxing a little, "Yea… I guess it is kind of weird we met like this. My boyfriend gets hurt trying to save my long lost cousin? It's almost like out of a movie." I thought randomly, "Or a fanfiction." Nakamura added. I looked at her questioningly, she just shrugged and we dropped it. (hehe :3)

By now everyone has left, including my newly found cousin Izzie. "Bye Karma! I'll be here tomorrow after school, I promise." I said, gathering my stuff while dad was talking to karma's Dad outside. "Awh, I'm going to miss you~" Karma pouted. I smiled, dropping all my stuff and sat back down on the bed that Karma was basically bound to. "I'm going to miss you too… but it's only going to be a day, actually less than that if you think about it!" I said in an attempt to get Karma to cheer up. He grabbed my hand, looking at it then trailed his eyes back to my eyes, "Okay… you better not miss me too much either, and don't you dare worry about me! I know it'll be hard not to see my beautiful face all day, but you'll just have to survive." Karma smirked, going back to his usual confident self. I smiled rolling my eyes, getting back off the bed to pick me stuff back up.
"Well I have to go now, bye love~" I started walking away, but Karma told me to stop, "Love? No no no no I refuse to be called that, it's too cheesy, even for me." I looked at him with a smirk, "What about Bugaboo? Or Care Bear? Or maybe even Cuddle monster?" Karma looked at me with a look of absolute disgust. "Are you even my boyfriend anymore?" I laughed almost uncontrollably, "Bye, Honey Bun~" I winked, walking out the door, leaving Karma is even more disgust. I'm certainly glad I've found something to tease Karma with.
As I closed the door, Dad stopped talking to Karma's dad, "Ready to go?" He started, putting his arm around me, I shook my head with a smile, "Let's go then!" We left, waving to Karma's Dad saying our goodbyes to him.

Dad and I were in the car now, sitting in silence. I had something I wanted to ask, but i took a little while till I opened my mouth. "Did… Did you know Mom had a brother?" I asked, almost getting us into a wreck as Dad swerved a little. After awhile of silence he sighed, "Yeah I knew…" My eyes widened in surprise, I looked away towards the floor with shock showing on my face. "Why didn't you tell me… or rather, why didn't Mom tell me?" Dad sighed again, he decided to pull over to side of the road, so we could talk a bit better.
"Before we get into this, I would like to know what you already know, and how did you find out?" I thought for a moment then answered his straight-forward question, "Well, I may have met my cousin, turns out, she's the Girl Karma saved, and she doesn't know why I never heard about my Uncle. Also, turns out she has two Dads, so I guess I have two uncles." I explained, trying to remember everything I knew, and I decided that was pretty much it. "Wow, you met Izabelle? I haven't seen her since she was just a tiny little thing. Anyway, that's besides the point. Your uncle married a woman, and had a baby girl. They lasted a few years, but they eventually divorced. He luckily got custody, his ex-wife had no job and never even finished school, we never really knew why he married her in the first place, nor did we know why they divorced, we did find out later when he, well," Dad paused, looking down at the floor, "He brought his boyfriend home." At this point I knew where the story was going, I still stayed quiet to hear the rest, just to make sure. "As you may know, your grandparents are very strict and traditional, as soon as they found out, as sad as it is, they kicked him out of the family. From then on, no one was allowed to even mention his name."
Dad stopped talking, his head still down. He slowly looked back up to see me with my head down, thinking. What if they find out about me? What would they do… I used to love it when they visited, Mom would act like an actually caring mother for once. It was a nice break. There was this warm air around the house when they were there, even though I knew it was fake, I still liked to pretend like it was real. "Don't worry," He said, almost as if he was reading my thoughts, "You don't need someone in your life that doesn't love you. You have me, Karma, all your friends, and even Karma's father, you don't need them." I smile slowly appeared on my face. Geez… he always knows what to say to make me feel better. "Thanks a lot, Dad. We should probably start going now though, don't want to stay on the side of the road forever." Dad smiled, glad that he was able to make me feel better, "Okay, let's go!" Dad started going back onto the road, once again, almost getting us in a wreck. Dad seriously needs to be more careful on the road.
