Chapter two: Meeting the biological family.

Becca's POV

Well this is it. I'm finally here. The place I've been dreaded being for the whole plane and care ride. I'm finally here in Rosewood. It looks nice here. I've never really heard of this place. It seems sort of… Well, I don't know but I get this weird vibe being here. Maybe it's just the nerves kicking in. I am about to meet my biological family, you can't necessarily blame me.

I'm standing outside the house, the house where I am going to live, well, possibly going to live. It's a nice house. I've never lived in a two story house before. So many changes are coming my way.

I slowly approached to the door, I felt like I was going to be sick. I was trying to gain the courage to knock on the door. I slowly raised my hand to ring the doorbell when the door opened. I quickly moved my hand back down. I was in shock by what I saw right in front of me. It was a girl, she looked a lot like me, the only difference was she had shorter hair and looked quite… Fancy?

So many things were spinning through my head at the moment. Is this my sister? Or is she more than just my sister? Is she my twin? What do I do now? How do I react?

By the expression on her face, I could tell that she was in shock too. She was on the phone when she opened the door but slowly lowered her hand. The feeling I felt was clearly mutual.

Someone had to break this silence sooner or later.

"Um, I'm Becca… You must be… Ashley?" I said shyly.

"Oh… No, I'm Hanna." She replied awkwardly. "Hey, Aria, I'm going to be a bit late. I'll call you back when I get the chance." She exclaimed and hung up her phone.

"Oh, um… I'm sorry…" I apologised.

"No need to be sorry, but my mother has some explaining to do… Come inside." She stepped aside as she invited me inside. I must admit, she looked kind of unsure.

Hanna's POV

I was just about to walk out the front door to go meet Aria at the Grill when I seen a girl standing there.

What. The. Fuck.

She looks exactly like me, but with… Longer hair. Who is this

My mum didn't mention any visitors.

Not to mention I was on the phone to Aria at the time. I just stopped talking and slowly put my hand down.

Why does she look exactly like me? Ugh. This better not be some stupid joke.

"Um, I'm Becca… You must be… Ashley?" She said shyly.

Uh, what?

"Oh… No, I'm Hanna." I replied feeling awkward. "Hey, Aria, I'm going to be a bit late. I'll call you back when I get the chance." I exclaimed and hung up my phone.

"Oh, um… I'm sorry…" She apologised.

Wow this girl is shy.

"No need to be sorry, but my mother has some explaining to do… Come inside." I stepped aside as I invited the stranger inside.

I must say, I am kind of frustrated and I want an answer, NOW. I hate it when my mother keeps things from me, but I guess that makes me a hypocrite. I guess I haven't been completely honest with her either.

But secret or not, I need to know right now.

"Hey, Mum!" I shouted out suspiciously as I lead Becca to where I was going.

"Yes, Hanna?" Ashley said as she stepped out of the kitchen. That's when she seen this Becca girl and that's when everything went completely, utterly silent.

"Mother, could I please speak to you in the lounge?" I demanded.

Ashley did look kind of awkward but at the moment I couldn't really care less.

She followed me into the room as she excused herself and told Becca to take a seat.

"Mum, what's going on? I think I deserve to know. Why does she look so much like me and why is she here?" I tried not to be too loud.

"Okay, I guess I have a lot to explain." Ashley responded looking guilty.

"Um, yeah, duh…" I exclaimed.

"Okay, Hanna. That girl in there, she's your sister. Well, a little bit more than a sister, she's your twin. She has been searching for us for years. She finally reached contact with us recently. I knew she was coming today but I didn't want to tell you yet, I didn't want to stress you out. I didn't realise she would get here so early. I'm sorry, Hanna…" Ashley apologised.

"Wow, mum. This is something you should let me know. No matter if I'm stressed or not and since when did I have a twin? Were you ever planning on telling me this?!" I started to raise my voice. I was pretty angry. How could my mother keep something so big like this from me and how do I have a twin in the first place? What happened to her? Why now? I had so many things to ask but in reality I was just plain pissed off at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Hanna, I really am. I know I should've told you but I was just worried about you and didn't think you needed any more stress on your shoulders than you already do. Not long ago you just found out about one of your best friend's showing her true colours. I didn't really think know was the appropriate time to tell you this. I was going to tell you eventually, whether she found us or not, I was going to tell you when the time was right but now I guess I have no choice." Ashley explained.

"It's still not fair. I deserved to know this, you should have told me a while ago. I'm so pissed off with you!" Hanna now raised her voice enough for Becca to hear.

"Hanna! Don't raise your voice like that! I have quite a bit to explain and I think you both need to hear it not just you! Calm down." Ashley snapped back.

"I really don't need this right now. I'm going to the Grill. Bye." I exclaimed as I quickly walked out of the house and slammed the door and quickly left to go to the Grill.

What was she thinking keeping something like this from me?

Becca's POV

I followed Hanna through the house, examining it as I walked along. It sure was a beautiful house, a lot prettier than anywhere I've lived before.

My examining was soon forced to come to a stop when Hanna shouted out, "Hey, Mum!"

Only a few second s later I seen a woman walk out of the kitchen. That must be my biological mother.

She responded to Hanna quite quickly with a, "Yes, Hanna?"

Once she had seen me a quick silence came across the room. I could see the angriness on Hanna's face. I couldn't help but to feel extremely awkward.

""Mother, could I please speak to you in the lounge?" Hanna demanded.

I kind of feel like I've done something wrong. This is a disaster.

Ashley quickly told me to go sit down and assured me she wouldn't be too long. Ugh, is this all my fault?

A few seconds later they left the room and all I was left to do is observe.

This truly is a beautiful place.

Once again, I was interrupted. I heard Hanna shout, ""It's still not fair. I deserved to know this, you should have told me a while ago. I'm so pissed off with you!"

Fuck. Maybe I should've stayed back in Garden State. None of this would have happened.

Not long after that I heard another shout from Hanna, ""I really don't need this right now. I'm going to the Grill. Bye."

Great. I've already made them argue. This truly might've been a waste of time.
