A/N: This chapter might be a real bummer for all of you. 'Cause it really sucks. I am serious. I've been working on this for weeks now and I still don't like it. Meh. Whatever. If you want to read it, read it. But don't say I didn't warn you. I hate how this story is going. And I have no lyrics! SORRY!
Jen stepped out onto the deck and saw Katherine was sitting down, knees to chest, looking out at the orange colored sky. Jen walked over to where she was sitting and sat down next to her. Putting a comforting hand on her shoulder, Jen said, "You okay?"
"I guess," Katherine muttered.
"Everything is going to be okay, Katherine. I don't understand why you're so upset about it."
Katherine made a face. She turned toward Jen and said in the most serious she ever used, "Everthing, is NOT going to be okay." Jen looked at her sister questionably.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Katherine sighed. "You don't get it do you? Look at how we spent our whole lives. I never knew my other family members. Until now! I suddenly got mistaken by you! I got switched, and that was the best moment of my life. Not only did I get to meet my dad but I found out I had a sister. And then our parents met . . .I know they split up . . .But . . .I don't know. I kind of had this crazy idea that if our parents got back together, we could live as a whole family. I never liked it before, Jen. I never did. It always felt like there was something missing. C'mon, do not tell e you never felt that way, too. Jen, for once in my life things looked up."
Katherine stood up and started pacing back and forth. "But," she went on,"If I go back." Katherine stopped to look at Jen straight in the eye.
"Then that means we won't get to see eachother. Maybe even ever."
Jen finally began to speak. "Yeah, But-"
"That's why we can't let our parents marry!" Katherine's eyes began to water. She tried to hold back tears, but it was no use. "I don't want to go back to my old life. I don't want it to be this way."
"Me too." Katherine and Jennifer turned around and saw Michael, leaning against a door.
"How much did you hear?" Jen asked.
"Just about all of it." Michael sat between Katherine and Jen. He put his arms around both of his daughters. "Tell me something, why did you want to stay in the first place?"
Tears filled up Katherine's eyes. "Because I missed you." Katherine fell into his arms and he held her tightly. Soon then, Jen joined the group hug.
"I missed you too," he murmured.
A few days earlier, Katherine went back to Genovia. Even though she didn't want to go, she had to check on her mom. But she promised to be back in Thanksgiving if she can. Days without Katherine have been hard on her sister lately but she understood.
One friday night, Michael and Jen were in the living room together watching Michael's band's latest music video 'Found Again'.
"Like it?" Michael asked.
Jen didn't answer. The lyrics to the song seemed familiar, and Jen knew what it meant. "Do you miss her?" Jen blurted out.
"Miss who?"
"Miss Mom."
Michael looked puzzled. "Yeah. Of course I do." Jen's smile got even bigger. "So, do you love her?" Michael's eyes popped out. But, somehow he knew what Jen was thinking. And he didn't like that at all.
Michael cleared his throat.
"Jen . . ." he sighed. "What are you thinking? I'm getting married in less than a week!"
"I know that," Jen said. "But, do you love her?" Michael knew there was no escaping the question. No matter how hard he tried.
"Yeah," he finally said.
Jen smiled. "I thought so." Michael threw his head back on the couch.
"Am I that obvious?"
"Of course you are," Jen laughed. "Katherine and I knew since the day you two met, back in New York. You're a pretty obvious guy."
"Shut up."
"I'm sorry, I can't! YOU JUST ADMIT YOU STILL LOVE MOM!" Jen exclaimed.
"Yeah, well," Michael paused for a few seconds. "What if I don't now?"
"Why not?" Jen asked.
"Because she's getting married," he replied.
"I'm pretty sure she loves you, too."
"Yeah," he said sarcastically. " That's why she's still getting married to another man."
"So, why don't you go tell her before she gets married?" asked Jen. This made Michael stand up and start pacing around the living room.
"I don't know. Maybe she's finally over me," he admitted. "Maybe she doesn't love me. And I'll get my heart broken forever. I don't know." Michael ran his hand through his thick brown hair. "I just won't go. We're over. We're moving on with our lives. It's done." Michael started walking out of the living room and went up the stairs.
"And I'm getting married," he shouted.
But Jen wasn't about to give up that easily. She had to think of something before the wedding. And about Leah. Somehow, Jen got this bad feeling inside. And her throat went dry.
She remembered something.
Leah is going to kill Mia on her wedding day.
There. Another short sucky chapter. But that's because I still have to work on the two part finale. Those are going to be super long. And after that, it's done!
YESSSSSSS!
Review please. It just might motivate me to work on the finale sooner.
