Chapter 5: The Big Family Secret
"Hey Jade." everyone greeted at the Smoothie Bar the next day. "Hey peeps." Jade greeted. "What's up?" Cloe asked. "Nothing," Jade said. "I went surfing yesterday." "When?" Cameron asked. "Evening," Jade answered. "The waves weren't as choppy." "Did you ever talk to your e-pals?" Sasha asked. "Yeah," Jade answered. "Lena is coming from Hawaii soon and Katherine is coming from Lousiana." "Cool," Eitan said. "I guess they'll want to be shown around California, see the Californian way of life." "I have a question." Jade said. "Shoot." Cloe said. "Do your parents ever look like they wanted to tell you one thing but then change whatever they wanted to tell you all of a sudden?" Jade asked. "No," Cloe said. "Why do you ask?" "Well," Jade began. "My mom was gonna tell me somthing but then all of a sudden changed it." "That's wierd," Sasha said. "Don't your parents tell you everything?" "Apparently not." Jade answered. "I'm sure they'll tell you whatever they need to tell you." Yasmin said. "Yeah," Koby said. "They won't hide anything from you." "I'll find out anyway if I listen in of conversations." Jade said. "Oh my gosh." Yasmin said. Jade's cell rang telling her that she had a text message. She checked it and it said for her to come home right away. "I better go," Jade said. "Text message from my mom or dad." "Okay," everyone said. "Bye." Jade went home.
"Hello family," Jade said rolling her eyes. "Is there a reason why I got called from the Smoothie Bar?" "Yes," her mom said. "There is, come and sit down." "I'll stand." Jade said. She saw a girl that had the exact same hair as her sitting beside her mom. She had tanned skin and black eyes. She had on a denim skirt, blue t-shirt, and black boots. "Who's she?" Jade asked. "Your sister," her dad answered. "Your the same age but just a month apart." "Whoa, whoa, whoa," Jade said not understanding. "When did all of this happen?" "A month after you were born," her mom answered. "We gave her up though so you never knew." "Okay, let me get this straight," Jade said. "You've lied to me for 14 and a half years." "We're so sorry." her mom said crying. Jade couldn't get this. She stormed out of the house and drove down to the beach.
