Ren followed Nicole as she walked to her room. Ren stood in awe when she
saw the size of it and how many things Nicole owned. Nicole told Ren to
stay and she left the room. Ren looked from wall to wall at all the
pictures. It looked like Nicole knew Paris and Nikki Hilton, The Olsen
Twins, J Lo, and Seann William Scott! Ren couldn't help but open the large
mirrored closet doors, which revealed hangers upon hangers of designer
clothing. Ren touched all the silk clothes and then knelt and looked at the
glorious shoes.
"You'll be able to borrow them," Nicole said placing a large wooden box on her bed. She had taken a few things from her father's room. Ren stood and placed her hands on her hips.
"You have a lot of nice things," she said walking around. Nicole nodded as she opened yet another closet behind her door. Inside this closet was a whole lot of luggage.
"Here, start packing my clothes away," Nicole said wheeling the suitcase at Ren. "Oh, and only take really nice things you'd like to borrow," she added. Ren smiled and began to take the beautiful clothes out and off their hangers, packing them neatly in the suitcase. Nicole wheeled and even bigger one at her and said it was for shoes. Ren looked up while placing a Versatci dress in the case. Nicole was busy packing a huge bag with ring boxes, bracelet boxes, and necklaces.
"What am I going to do Ren?" she said packing the boxes in tightly.
"You're going to have to live with us and make-do, we don't live in a fancy house or anything. And we defiantly don't live in a hotel." Nicole smiled and tried not to cry.
"Public school, regular things, how can I handle that?" Ren started to laugh, but stopped.
"You make it seem like it's going to be hard," Ren said.
"I was raised rich, I only know how to act around fancy people, rich, important people. I don't even know how to act towards your family, only you. I guess its cause we are sisters, but other then that I don't know how I'm supposed to act. Like do I ask if I want something, how do I ask, when do I ask, its going to be so hard!"
"Calm down, you'll get along fine, I promise," Ren said zipping up the suitcase. She had packed pretty much everything from the closet and moved to the shoes. Before she knew it, Nicole was kneeling next to her and was packing in more shoes.
"I just can't believe how this is all happening. I just meet my twin sister, and a mom I thought was dead . . .and then god had to go and take my dad . . .our dad. You didn't even know him, and he didn't even know you. I feel so bad! Why is this happening?" Tears started to roll down Nicole's eyes again.
"Awe, don't be like that. Maybe god thought your dad, uhm, our dad raised you well enough your life and he thought it was time for you to meet your mom and sister," Ren suggested. Normally she wasn't a very religious person, but she didn't know what to say.
"Oh darn! What am I going to tell Paris? I was supposed to go to a big party with her tomorrow," Nicole said, now worried. Ren smiled and grabbed the phone.
"Just call her." Nicole picked up the phone and left the room. Ren finished packing the shoes and zipped the suitcase up. Nicole came back and hung the phone on the receiver.
"Alright, I want to pack my comforter and sheets and stuff," Nicole said getting yet another suitcase from her closet. Gently, Ren took the comforter off and handed it to Nicole. Then she removed the sheets, made of pure silk. When Ren had stripped all the sheets and pillowcases there was still room in the suitcase. Nicole asked for her pillows and surprisingly to Ren all six fit. Within another twenty minutes they had packed half of Nicole's life in seven large suitcases. Ren rolled three down and Nicole rolled three and carried one on her back.
"Come on," Ren said. Nicole was standing in the doorway looking around. Though her dad spent a month at a different hotel each month, Nicole preferred to live in this one because it was newer and had a great view of the city.
"I can't just leave! What about my other stuff?"
"My mom will have movers fly here then drive back with everything, don't worry about it." Nicole nodded and turned off the lights, leaving the whole apartment dark. The elevator provided the only light and they stepped in, both afraid of the dark.
"Childhood fear," they both said at the same time and started to laugh. Ren could see Nicole was crying again, and didn't blame her. In a way, she felt as if they both should be crying, after all, it was her blood father. Down in the lobby everything was stacked. Nicole called for a huge bus to come get them and their entire luggage. When they got on the plane everyone was invited to first class because of Nicole. No one complained, they just all sat quietly. When the plane arrived in California, Ilene offered Ruby a ride home but Ruby had called her grandparents from New York to get her at the airport. Nicole stepped out of the airport and shielded her eyes.
"I've never been to California," she admitted right away. Ren smiled and helped her with all her luggage. The rest of the family was at the car before Ren and Nicole.
"This would have been a lot easier if Donny didn't break his leg," Ren complained throwing the bags into the backseat of the car, there was barely enough room for Nicole. Nicole stared out the car window like she had never seen the suburbs before, oohing at all the average houses. When they pulled up to the house with the mailbox that read Stevens, Nicole nearly screamed.
"This is so exciting! An actual normal house, a regular, non-partying life!" she said running in circles on the lawn. Ilene stood and smiled while Ren ran over to her and ran too. Louis stood next to the car watching his old sister and his new one. Without a word he cut across the grass through them and went inside.
"You make it sound like you hated your old life," Ren said when they finally stopped.
"I kind of did, hey, what's wrong with your brother?"
"Our half brother, and I don't know. He's been acting strange since him and his girlfriend broke up." Nicole nodded and ran to the car to help unpack it. Steve said nothing to Nicole and took half her luggage. She said thanks but he ignored it. Ilene wrapped her arms around Nicole.
"He just isn't used to two girls," she said giving Nicole a kiss on the head. Nicole smiled and grabbed the rest of her stuff. When they reached Ren's room, she gasped.
"It's not much . . ." Ren said embarrassed. Nicole's room was at least three times the size of her room, but instead of rejecting it, Nicole ran around the small area and danced.
"This is so awesome! And I'll get to share it with you. I always wanted a sibling, but a twin sister I can share everything with is MUCH better." Ren sat on her bed, glad Nicole didn't mind.
"You can sleep in my bed tonight if you want," Ren said, but Nicole shook her head.
"No way sis, your room, your bed, your goodnight! Besides, I've always wanted to sleep on the floor!" Nicole said with a smile. Ren stood and hugged Nicole.
"Sisters forever."
A.N.-this isn't done yet, I have like two more chapters so hang in there.
"You'll be able to borrow them," Nicole said placing a large wooden box on her bed. She had taken a few things from her father's room. Ren stood and placed her hands on her hips.
