Okay, so I know that it's been a while since I updated. Sorry for that but I got super busy and I didn't have any time to put this chapter up. The chapters are still going to be fairly short in the beginning though. That being said, this is actually the last edited chapter that I've actually typed up. I started to work on chapter four, but I haven't finished it yet. I don't know how long it will take. Anywho, thank you to Wolfgirl2013 and Seth rollins babe for the reviews and big thank you to ian87 for following and favoriting my story! I hope you enjoy it
The Truth Comes Out
"Hey mom, dad. Can we talk to you?" Raye asked. Her and Emma had decided to try and get the truth out of them.
"Yeah, sure." Angela says in concern. Her and Evan literally just gotten under the covers when Raye knocked on their bedroom door.
"We just saw two guys on television that looked like us. Now as far as I know, we have no other siblings. It's always just been us. So how is that possible?" Raye demanded. Emma still hadn't said a word. She just wanted to head what they had to say first. On the bed, Evan and Angela exchanged looks. They never thought that they would have to explain this to the girls. They never wanted to have to.
"Well, you girls were adopted." Evan is the one to tell them. He could see that Angela didn't want to be the one to tell them.
"How is that even possible?!" Emma explodes. "You have pictures of us from when we weren't any older than a few days old." Raye puts her arm around Emma's shoulders. Raye could see that she was really upset.
"Who were the guys you saw on television?" Angela asks them gently. She was trying to diffuse an already tense situation.
"The announcer people said that their names were Matt and Jeff Hardy." It was Raye that responded after a tense moment of silence. Evan and Angela instantly recognized the last name.
"You could be related to them," Angela says. "We know the couple that we adopted them from had other kids but we don't know what their names were." Raye shakes her head.
"Why did they adopt us out to someone else? Why couldn't they just take care of us?" Raye asks them miserably.
"We don't know everything but from what the adoption agency told us, your parents couldn't afford to have two more kids. So they gave you guys up so you could have a better life."
"So were you ever going to tell us that we were adopted? Or were you just going to keep it a secret and lie to us our entire life?" Emma practically screams. This startles everyone in the room and Raye's arm drops off her sister's shoulders.
"Actually, no. Don't answer that. Just don't talk. I'm going to explain some things. Your first mistake was not telling us this in the first place. You just let us pretty much figure it out on our own! Your second mistake was not even thinking about the consequences if we did find out! What, did you think that we were just going to be okay with it and that everything would be normal? Well, guess what?! It's not okay and it's never going to be okay ever again! I'm not going to be able to ever look at you two the same knowing that you're not my actual parents. You two are just surrogates for the real thing!" Evan and Angela were watching with wide eyes. They didn't think Emma would react that way. Raye watched her sister with a startled look on her face because Emma had tears running down her cheeks.
"No, I'm not done talking yet! Don't say a word!" Emma exclaimed with she saw Evan start to open his mouth so he could get a word in.
"All I feel for you right now is hate. Pure hate and frustration. And it's all your fault too. You could have prevented all of this if you had just told us the truth! I'm done with you two. I don't trust you guys anymore." Emma declared. She didn't wait for anyone's reactions. She just left the room. Evan, Angela and Raye could hear Emma slam her bedroom door shut in anger. The room was silent for about a minute before Raye spoke.
"I'm not going to go off on you like Emma did because I'm sure you already feel really guilty anyway but I do think that you should have told us a lot sooner. It probably would have made things so much smoother." Raye rubs the back of her head and walks out of the room, closing their bedroom door on the way out. She walks across the hall to get to her sister's room. She knocks on the door.
"Emma, I'm coming in." She doesn't hear a response, so she walks into the room. The first thing she sees is Emma's back. Raye walks over to her sister and sits on the bed. Emma was lying on her side with her legs pulled up towards her stomach and her hands were under her head.
"I know that they lied to us but maybe you shouldn't have been so harsh." Raye says gently. She started to run her fingers through Emma's shoulder length blonde hair, trying to calm her down.
"They deserved everything that I threw at them." Emma grumbles. She sniffles and wipes the tears of her cheeks. Raye shakes her head and sighs. She didn't feel like causing an argument.
The next day, the girls were awoken abruptly. It was the phone ringing that woke them up. Emma woke up first and raced into the living room to grab the phone. Before she picked it up, she looked over at the clock and saw that it was a little after noon. Her and Raye had stayed up until 4:30 and just talked.
"Hello?" She asked, without looking at the caller ID.
"Hey babe."
"Hey Zeke." Emma says with a small smile. Her and Zeke had been dating since their sophomore year, but they had been friends since 7th grade.
"So, what are you up to right now?" Zeke asks.
"Well, I'm angry at my 'parents' right now." Emma responds, putting quotations around the word parents.
"Why? What did they do?" Zeke questions in concern. Emma sighs and starts to explain what happened the night before. As she's talking, Raye walks into the room rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She knows that Emma is ranting and raving about last night, so she walks into the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Wow babe. That was a really harsh thing to tell them." Zeke tells her after she's done explaining.
"Yeah, well I was pissed off. And I'm not going to apologize about it either. You would've reacted the same way if you found out that you'd been lied to your entire life." Emma plops down on the couch. Raye walks back into the room with a couple tuna sandwiches in her hands and the dogs following behind her. She hands one to Emma, who mouths thank you.
"Oh, hey before I forget, my dad wanted me to ask you if you and your sister wanted to go to a Smackdown event with me if he gets the tickets." Emma looks over at Raye and asks her. Raye looks thoughtful for a minute.
"Sure why not? I could be fun." Raye says.
"Awesome." Emma says. Then she turns her attention back to the telephone.
"Raye said it would be cool. We just have to ask Evan and Angela first." Emma tells Zeke. She was telling the truth when she said that she wouldn't and couldn't call them mom and dad anymore.
"Okay awesome." Zeke says. She can hear his father yelling in the background. She couldn't quite make out what he was saying though. Zeke's father was a rich man. He was a brain surgeon but there were certain days that he had a really bad temper. If Emma remember correctly, Zeke had told her that he was bipolar.
"Hey babe, I gotta go before my dad blows a fuse."
"Okay, I'll see you at school on Monday." Emma tells him.
"Bye."
"Bye. I love you." Emma says. The other end was silent for a few seconds.
"I love you too." He says. That's when he hangs up the phone.
"Wow. Zeke's dad sounded pissed. I could hear him screaming from Zeke's side of the conversation." Emma tells Raye just before she picks up her sandwich and takes a giant bite out of it. Raye just shrugs her shoulders.
That Monday, Emma and Raye were standing in line for lunch when Zeke walked up to them a smile on his face. He gave Emma a kiss on the cheek, which caused Raye to fake gag. Emma laughs at her.
"I got the tickets." Zeke practically sings as he waves them in front of their faces. Emma squeals in excitement and hugs him. Raye just shakes her head and laughs at her sister.
Since Emma still wasn't talking to Evan and Angela, Raye was the one that had to ask them about going to the live Smackdown event. Thankfully they had said yes but Emma had told her later on that day that they were still going to go whether or not their "parents" said yes or not. Emma was fully prepared to sneak out of the house, just to spite them.
