Haylei just stared at Mary Lou, she didn't know what to say. Jack pushed his little sister behind him.
"Is this some ploy? Are you going to tell us you've GOT to take Haylei and then we never see her again?" He asked. It wouldn't be the first time that social workers pulled that stunt. Mary Lou sighed angrily.
"Look, this is Lauren. She's Dakota's twin sister! They were seperated at birth because their asshole father didn't want two premature babies to take care of!" Mary lou said through gritted teeth. Lauren shuddered at the thought of their father. She'd heard what he did to her sister. Haylei pushed Jack's arm out of the way and walked to Lauren. Her brothers just stared at the two girls. Haylei put her hand up and looked at Lauren. Lauren smiled as she place her hand against Haylei's. Haylei smiled back and the two girls laughed.
"Hi Lauren!" Haylei siad. Mary Lou smiled while the Mercer brother looked suspiciously at her. Lauren hugged her sister tightly.
"Hi Dakota!" She replied. Haylei laughed as she hugged her sister back. They broke apart and turned to the grownups.
"What?" Lauren and Haylei asked. Jack shook his head, fixing his line of focus. His little sister acted as she'd known Lauren before.
"You guys know each other already or something?" Bobby asked. He grabbed Haylei's arms and brought her to him. Kneeling to eye level with his little sister, he looked at her with a gaze full of brotherly love and concern.
"We don't have to know each other personally Bobby! Its just this kind of connection that we have and it links us together! I may have just met Lauren but I've really know her forever!" Haylei said. Lauren nodded as she walked up next to her sister. Bobby turned from Haylei and looked at Lauren, he stared into her eyes. He saw the same thing he saw in Haylei's eyes. A little girl trapped inside, waiting to be free. Waiting to be found.
'Oh great!' Angel thought to himself as he looked at the two little girls that were now his sisters. 'Two Haylei's, just what we need!'
Haylei and Lauren giggled as they ran around outside with thier dog. Bobby and Jack stepped outside and sat on the porch stairs. They watched as their little sister's ran around and carried on. It had been two weeks since that night when their lives were changed. After much talking and some stress, the boys decided that it would be wrong to turn down taking care of Lauren. They had once been in their sisters shoes. They'd once been four lost little boys with fucked up pasts and no where to turn or people to care for them. And that's where Evelyn stepped in. She took them in when no one else would. She loved them and took care of the. And they knew that had she still been alive she'd have done the same for Lauren. And so they did it for their mom and for their sister. In some ways Lauren was like Haylei and in some ways she was different. Lauren wasn't as shy as her sister. She was bold and told things as they were. She had a strength that Haylei admired and wanted. She was a bit more of casual dresser then Haylei. While Haylei wore skirts, hip huggers, low riders, tank tops and some halter tops, Lauren wore, regular jeans, t-shirts, knee length skirts, and some tank tops. When Lauren and Haylei were apart, they were calm, but together they were wild and free. They always knew how to get their brother riled up.
With a scream, Haylei sat up in her bed. She cursed under her breath as a pain ripped through her head. She'd hit her head on the top bunk. Jack shot out his bed and over to Haylei. There was a thud as Lauren jumped down from the top bunk and two more thuds as Bobby and Angel burst into the room.
"You ok baby girl?" Bobby asked as she looked around. Haylei laughed as she grabbed her head.
"Them damn clowns are still haunting my dreams!" she replied. Jack laughed along with Lauren.
"You gotta stop eating cheese before you go to bed!" Angel told her. Haylei busrt into giggles and hit her brother with her pillow. A loud noise ripped through the room, causing everyone to jump.
"Holy Shit! Who the fuck did that?" Bobby asked as a nasty smell reached his nose. Jack shifted umcomfortably on the edge of the bed.
"Jack!" Haylei and Lauren cried. They both began smacking their brother with their pillows. Their play soon turned to a fierce pillow fight. Haylei squealed as she was knocked off the bed by Angel.
"Oh no you didn't!" Lauren said. She jumped on the bed and began beating him up with the pillow.
"Ahhh! Shit! Girl stop PMSING!" Angel cried. Lauren scoffed as though she was offended.
"Oh no you didn't!" Bobby mimicked in a girly tone of voice. He began smacking Angel with a pillow. "Awww! Man! That's nasty!" Angel said as another nasty smell filled the room. Jack looked taken a back as they turned to him.
"Hey, that wasn't me!" Jack defended. Another farted sounded the room. Haylei turned and looked at her dog who covered his face with a paw.
"Binky!" Jack and Haylei cried. The dog wimpered and ran out of the room with his tail between his legs. The six Mercer's laughed the night away.
Ok, sorry that it took soo long to update. I've been really really sick! I'm also sorry that this chapter is so short. I've gotta go to bed!
Shout Outs:
Elven-Princess Ginny: Laughs wow, your really excited huh? Lol. Yep, Haylei won the talent show. I made Mary Lou say what she said to the boys coz she's twisted. She's a big part of most of my plot. She spent five months looking for proper foster care just becasue that's how those things work. Me and my twin brother were in and out of foster homes when we were young then at 9, they finally found the proper place for us.
