Quinn walked to the address written on Lucy's ID card with lots of thoughts in her head. The thought of the family that she didn't know it was exist until a few moments ago, the thought of her possibly twin sister that killed herself in front of her, the thought about Melrose…
Melrose Arianna Fabray; her four years old daughter.
She cringed at what Mike said about Melrose calling her Aunty instead of Mommy. Of course she didn't want that to happen. She knew she hadn't see and talk to her own daughter for two months and that was actually the first thing she wanted to do as soon as she was back in Lima but this situation wasn't something that you could delay.
Without realizing, Quinn arrived at the address. It was a very nice townhouse. Quinn grabbed a key from Lucy's handbag and she walked to the front door while hoping that it was indeed the house key.
She managed to open the door and she stepped in to the house. When she was inside, she was greeted by emptiness.
"Hello?"
She didn't get any respond so she was indeed alone in the house, which was good cause she didn't have to pretend that she was Lucy, not Quinn.
She was observing the house. Nice one, Lucy. Seems like you grew up well, she thought. She walked to the bedroom and found a walk-in-closet. She went there and greeted by the sight of not only Lucy's clothes, but also man's clothes.
"She lived here with her boyfriend, huh?"
She continued to observe. By the look of the closet, she could tell that Lucy was a very feminine girl. Dress everywhere, bright colored clothes, and everything.
After she was done with the walk-in-closet, she walked to the bed and found a handwritten note there.
Unplanned business trip to New York until Saturday.
Be good :)
- Sam
"Today is Thursday so I have two days before he comes back. Perfect."
Quinn walked to the kitchen and saw some pictures of Lucy and Sam on the refrigerator.
"Weird. I think I saw Sam before…" she said as she look closely to a solo picture of Sam.
Quinn decided to brush that thought off when she heard her phone ringing. She went to the kitchen counter where she left it before and picked it up.
"Hey, Mike."
"Hey, you found something there?"
"Except that Lucy Fabray is a girl who living a very nice life? No, not yet. Maybe you could came over and help me?"
"Now? I don't think so. Mom just called saying that I need to pick Claire up from her friend's house."
"Fine. Tomorrow then?"
"Will do. Just text me the address and I'll be there even before you can eat your breakfast."
"See you then."
Quinn put her phone back on the kitchen counter and she walked to the living room. There was a plasma TV with a video player. Her gaze went to the rack bellow, found some home videos, and decided to play it.
She was slowly observing both Lucy and Sam. It surprised her that Lucy looked exactly like her but behaved differently. Quinn was always a little tomboy and a bit rebellious, while Lucy seemed to be the delicate and sophisticated one. The way she talked and acted gave the impression that she was raised in a well-mannered family.
After she was done with Lucy, she played back the video and observing Sam. He was blonde and had a very well toned body. Just like when she saw a picture of Sam earlier, she felt like she saw Sam before. She just couldn't remember when and where.
Then she realized that something seemed a little bit off with Sam. Seemed like Sam wasn't that happy with Lucy. Lucy was beaming and looked so in love, but Sam was different. He seemed to look happy at one point but he never look like a guy who was in love with his girlfriend.
Maybe Lucy killed herself because she knew Sam didn't love her? But why he didn't love her? Quinn thought.
As she watched the video, Quinn realized something that could possibly lead her to the answers for everything. She wasted no time and started planning things.
"So, let me get this straight. You're going to pretend that you're Lucy to Sam and you're going to get Sam to bring you to your parents' house?" Mike said as he gulped his drink.
"That's the plan and no, they're not my parents yet. I don't know them."
"What are you going to do with Lucy's dead body?"
"Leave it unidentified. If I stayed here as her, nobody would even recognize that she's dead, right?" Quinn answered as she came out from the bedroom and went to Mike who was sitting in the dining room. "How do I look?"
Quinn was wearing one of Lucy's dresses, trying to transform her look so she could fool Sam.
"Hey, Lucy. Where's your sister? Did she kill herself?"
"Shut it."
"What's in the box?" Mike asked as he gestured his hands to the box that Quinn held.
"I don't know. I just found it," she said as she opened the box.
Her eyes went wide as she look what was inside the box.
"Oh my… this is creepy…"
"What is that?"
"Mike… she knew about me…"
"Wait. What?"
Quinn pulled out some pictures from the box. There were pictures of her and also some of her picture with Melrose.
"She knew about me. She even knew about Melrose…" Quinn said as she handed Mike the pictures.
"That's creepy," he said as he looked at the pictures.
"And this is even more creepy…"
"What's that?"
"A copy of my birth certificate and also the adoption letter… Mike, how did she get these?"
"Why would I know? But seriously… where did you find the box?"
"It was buried in the bottom of her wardrobe."
"Why would she hide that?"
"Maybe she didn't want Sam to find out about me?"
"But why? Sorry to say but you're family is weird."
"Don't call them my family, yet. I don't even know them, alright?"
Quinn sat on the couch, rubbing her head. She felt dizzy. She never thought in her life that she would face a situation like this. She always dreamed of meeting her real family, but not this way.
"Quinn, you okay?" Mike asked as he sat next to her. Quinn might not his biological sister but he really cared about her.
"What kind of conspiracy is this, Mike? What does she want from me?" Quinn sighed. She rubbed her temple, trying to make the dizziness go away.
"I wish I know," he said as he pulled Quinn closer to him and just simply held her.
Quinn leaned her head to his shoulder. They stayed like that for a while. Mike knew that Quinn didn't need him to say anything to her; she just needed someone to hold her.
"I'm afraid I have to go now, Quinn. Mom's gonna freak out if I didn't bring her apples home as soon as possible," Mike said as he started getting up.
"Go then," she sighed.
"I'll come again tomorrow?"
"I'll call if I need you."
Quinn wrapped a towel around her bare body as she stepped out from the shower. She walked to the walk-in closet and was in the middle of choosing the clothes to wear when she heard someone opened the front door.
"Damn it," she panicked.
She could feel her body froze. She couldn't move. Oh, this is bad. If I get caught, then it's the end of me, she thought.
"Luce?"
She heard a man's voice. A man's sexy voice with Southern accent, nonetheless.
"Lucy, you're home?" The man asked again.
Quinn took a deep breath before she answered, "In the bedroom!"
The man, who she recognizes as Sam, Lucy's boyfriend, came to the view.
"Hey, Beautiful," he greeted her.
"Hey, you. Aren't you supposed to be in New York until tomorrow?" Quinn asked him as she pulled the towel tighter to her body.
"The conference ended early. I don't really like New York so I decided to fly back here," he answered as he approached Quinn and pulled the girl he thought was his girlfriend to his embrace.
Quinn wasted no time and wrapped her arms around Sam's waist. "I miss you."
"I miss you too," he said as he put a chaste kiss on top of Quinn's head.
Okay. If Sam didn't love Lucy, he won't do things like this, right? So, what's so wrong about their relationship? She thought.
"What happened when I was away?" he asked as he pulled away.
"Nothing. Why?" Quinn couldn't see him in his eyes.
"You seem… different."
"I feel the same, though."
"Really?"
Quinn nodded.
"How's your mom?"
Quinn starred at him confusedly. "What are you talking about?"
"She's at the hospital, right?"
"Oh yeah, she's… getting better."
There was an awkward pause between them for a moment before Sam decided to speak again. "Lucy? What happen?" he asked as he cupped Quinn's face.
"Nothing. Why?"
"Something is weird. What did you do to your hair?"
"I… got a cut."
"It's longer," Sam said as he ran one hand through Quinn's hair.
"I…" Quinn couldn't thing of anything else to say so instead, she gave Sam a fierce kiss on his lips.
Sam responded to the kiss almost immediately. His hands started to roam over Quinn's back and played with her towel.
"Luce… "
"Sam…"
"This… have to go," he said as he pulled her towel down, revealing Quinn's bare body behind it.
Quinn wrapped her legs on Sam's waist and almost immediately, both of them fell into the bed.
