Chapter 1-Finding Out
It was a normal day in the Wellor household, well, define normal. Alexis was in her room talking on the phone, Leo was in his room doing homework, Cameron was downstairs making dinner, well...more like ordering dinner, and John was at work, well...that's what he says, he probably is getting drunk somewhere.
Soon, Alexis got bored and hung up and searched for something to do, that's when she stumbled upon something that would change her life.
Meanwhile...
"Ok, so we got our history, math, and english homework done, now we need to finish our science project and we're done." Phil said as he stood up.
"I hate science, and math, well...we might as well start now." Keely replied sighing.
An hour and a half later...
"Done!" Keely practically screamed.
"Jeez Keel, do you think you can get any louder?" Phil asked.
"Yeah, but I don't feel like it...well, I gotta go, I'll see ya tomorrow, bye."
"Yeah, bye." Phil said as he flopped down on the couch.
Back in Morton, Washington...
"Leo, I need you to drive me to Pickford, California, is that alright?" Alexis asked her brother.
"Sure." Was Leo's reply, he never was a talkative person.
"Ok, great...well, I'm going to call Ashley and tell her, see ya in twenty minutes bro."
"Whatever."
Alexis walked to her room and dialed a number she knew very well, a number she called at least five times a day.
"Hey Ash, I have big news!" Alexis said excited.
"Really, Alex, what is it?" Alexis' best friend, Ashley Quiler said, just as excited.
"Well...I found out I'm adopted. I know it sounds like it would be something I should be surprised about or something, but this means I can finally leave this death trap my brother and I call home, and I will miss you, but who knows, my real family might be a lot better than this one."
"Well, where do they live and who are they?" Ashley asked, her voice getting sadder at every word she said.
"They live in Pickford, California, and I have a twin sister Keely Teslow and my mom is Mandy, I'm leaving in fifteen minutes...so I just wanted to say bye." Alexis said still excited.
"Oh...well, bye then, I hope I'll see ya again some day, bye Alex." Ashley said, still sad.
"Yeah, bye Ash." And with that Alexis hung up and went to pack her things.
She left a note for her 'mom', it read:
Dear Cameron,
I can't go on living here since I have been lied to. I went to find my real family, hoping to find the life I never had and I hope you understand why I'm leaving, and if you don't, then you don't know me at all. I will miss you.
Luv always and forever,
Alexis
Ten hours and forty-seven minutes later...
"Ok...this is it, bye Leo, I'll see ya whenever." And with that Alexis walked up to the door and knocked gently, a couple of moments later it opened.
"Uh...hi, I'm Alexis Wellor, you're Keely Teslow, right?" Alexis asked.
"Uh... yeah, who...who are you?" Keely asked, wide-eyed.
"I'm your sister, twin sister actually, I just found out I was adopted today and I left hours ago and didn't tell anyone, except my brother and mt friend. I came to meet my real family." Alexis answered.
"Oh...then...come in, you'll want to meet my...your mom." Keely asked and stepped aside so Alexis could get in.
"Mom, come in here!" Keely yelled and sat down on the couch, Alexis did the same.
"Ok, ok, ok, I'm here wha..." Mandy stared wide-eyed at Alexis and Alexis went to greet herself.
"Hi...I'm Alexis Wellor, I just found out I was adopted eleven hours ago, so I came to meet my real family." Alexis said, just like she planned.
Two hours later...
Keely and Mandy really got to know Alexis and decided it was time to go to sleep, so Keely and Alexis went up to Keely's room, while Mandy went to hers.
That night Alexis slept very well, no nightmares about being hit by her father, and for once, she felt as if everything would go how she planned, but maybe, it would go horribly, horribly wrong.
