I annoyed the 'you know what' out of my mom! I don't let her read my stories…and she gets mad about it! SO I told her that I would tell her what it was about! IT WAS FUNNY! I had to stop talking and breathe! But yeah…she's still not reading them! Idk why…but I'm like that with my art work and my writing…I, however, do not find it strange! And then…she thinks I need to see a shrink because I go crazy when I start to talk about the stories! (Of course she's joking! But I was jumping up and down in my chair and clapping my hands…and I told her the twist in the storyline!) She says I need to write for a soap opera. I WOULD ACTUALLY LOVE TO!

"Mom! Eric!" Ella called from inside her bedroom. "Jon's here, in the building. He's almost here. So, I just wanted to say goodbye to you." Bridget and Eric hurried into the room and sat down on the bed. "Ok, so do you have your emergency cash? And your cell phone? And all of the numbers where Eric and I can be reached?" Bridget asked Ella. Eric squeezed Bridget's shoulder and laughed. "Yes she does, Bee. Don't you Ella?" "Sure I do Mom. Oh there he is. I'll call you when we get onto the interstate." Ella leaned down and kissed her mother. "Bye Eric." Ella grabbed her small duffel bag and left the apartment.

Ella and Jon had been driving for about an hour, when he handed her a photograph. "That's an old picture of my dad." Ella took it and looked closely at the young man in the picture. "Jon, you look exactly like him…" The young man in the picture looked to be about in his early twenties, and his dark brown wavy hair was blowing in the wind, so that his face was seen. "Do you know what his name is?" "Not yet. Mary said that she would tell me everything when I get there. She says that she feels that I need to know the truth. But she also feels that she should tell me in person." "Ok." Ella let it go, but held onto the picture. "Jon, there's something about this picture that looks familiar to me. It's like I've seen this person before, or that I know them from somewhere. Where'd you say Mary was from?" Ella asked, staring intently at the man's eyes. 'I definitely know him, somehow.' She thought. Jon didn't say anything. "Ok, well I'm going to go to sleep. Wake me up when you stop at a rest area."

Holly and her mom were shopping, when Holly decided to tell Lena the news. "I sent in an application to RISD…" She stood back to await her mother's answer. Lena dropped all of her things and threw her arms around Holly. "Holly! I'm so proud of you! Wouldn't it be amazing if you got in?" "Yeah I guess it would…I just thought that I would tell you." Holly helped her mom pick up the clothes she had dropped. "But don't get mad and angry and depressed if I don't get in…or if I do get in and decide to go to another college." "Honey, you know I will support you with anything you decide to do." With that, Lena and Holly went back to shopping.

"Hey Ells." Ella had called Holly while she and Lena had been eating lunch. "Yeah…I know which ones you're talking about. I'll email it to you as soon as I get home. Love you too!"

A few hours after Ella had talked to Holly, she pulled out her lap top to check her email. Holly had sent the file. "Ok…Jon I think you need to look at this." Ella opened the attachment and turned the screen around to face Jon. Jon took the computer and looked at the picture. "Hey, how'd Holly get this picture?" He asked, confused. "Scroll down. There's an updated picture too. It was taken sometime during the summer." Ella told him. Jon scrolled down the page, and sure enough there was another picture. It was of an older man, and what looked to be his son. A young girl, who looked to be in her late teens, was standing beside the boy. Jon recognized the girl. "Hey, isn't that your friend Holly?" "Yeah it is…and that's your birth father. I thought I had seen him somewhere." "Wait…what are you trying to say? Is he her father?" Jon was getting more confused by the minute. "No!" Ella exclaimed. "No. That picture was taken when Holly was in Greece. Her family goes way back with his family. Holly's mom and his mom…well they met when Lena was 16 and then some things happened in between then and now. Lena hadn't seen him in 20-odd years…it just so happened that he came to the island this summer. They were all a bit surprised!..." Ella let her words drift off and she stared off into space. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"Well can I know his name?" asked Jon. "His name…his name is…Kostos Dounas."

Syd: Thanks for the review! YEAH LOL! No I think that things will work out between Ella and Jon… for a while anyways! (I'm not saying that they are going to get married!)Thanks again for the review!

AUGH! I'M GOING CRAZY! I thought about it…and thought about it! And here it is. I thought about going back and rewriting the past few chapters! BUT I DIDN'T AND HERE IS THE BIG (SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE) TWIST!

sammygurl262316: HEY AGAIN! I have this weird way of writing! (Concerning Alexia and other random characters!) Ok, so I've got all of these characters…some of which I don't own!...but they are in my story none the less! All of these characters have these different personalities. For example: Alexia and Holly. Even though Alexia isn't a major character, I still feel the need to show how she really is. Then when you see that, her characteristics kind of can explain why Holly maybe acts or doesn't act a certain way! I confused my mom when I told her that! But it's the truth about why I have a zillion characters who basically do nothing throughout the story! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEW!

RACHEL!
