Hi guys! Should I even call you 'guys' cause you're probably mostly girls but whatever.

So we fucked up and we took like a shitload of time to write this chapter and we are truly sorry! We know it's summer and we know we have a lot of time etc etc etc. We are sorry and we hope that this chapter's events will make up for it.

Just saying.

Joan's too lazy to write an a/n in the end [actually she's staying somewhere the next days so she has to make her things - but it's no fun to excuse her] so I hope you enjoy this chapter and leave a comment of what you think and what you want to see in the story!

ENJOY!

Before on Lost And Hidden:

Stormie's POV

What do I do now? He knows... Everyone knows... Not the whole story, but they sure know a lot of it... I was hoping that this wouldn't have happened... Now I have to tell them... He also told me that this blonde boy is his cousin... Oh My God... Ross...

Now on Lost And Hidden:

Riker's POV

"What?!"

"Wait what did you just say?!"

"Okay, what the hell is going on?!"

I was too frustrated to actually answer my brother's, my cousin's and Laura's rambling about the unexpected news as I looked at my mother for an explanation, her face gone pale. I watched as her expression changed rapidly looking between me and Ross, finally setting her eyes at him. She made slow steps towards him, and then attacked him in a hug. He looked confused at the sudden move, and then awkwardly hugged back. It was weird, watching such a heart-felt moment, but Ross still looked scared yet... comfortable. Safe.

"Um... I-I don't... What's going on?" Ross asked awkwardly, still wrapped in my mother's warm embrace.

"Yeah... what is going on?" Laura asked too.

"Thank God! I'm not the only one confused by this!" Typical Rocky… I rolled my eyes at him just as my mom pulled away from the long hug.

"Um… I'm sorry Ross… It's just… I haven't seen you in a long time and I wanted to hug my… um… nephew… yeah." she managed to say.

"Wait! We never told you his name…" Rydel caught mom off guard…

"You see…"

"So you knew all about this and still never told us anything!" I screamed at her. "And we still wouldn't notice if it wasn't for Rydel and her extremely observant self!"

"I'll take it as a compliment!"

"Not the time right now!" I shouted making her shake in fear. "Sorry… I'm just shaken up by the sudden news… It's just a lot to take in… I don't know how you guys did it…" I said to Ross and Laura.

"Well, we were emotionally ready for a big change… We knew that our lives wouldn't be the same after today… But you guys, it was all so sudden for you…" Laura tried to sooth us. She must be the calm one… Ross deals with his problems just like us… I guess it runs in the family. The family…

"What about Ross' family? Why did we never meet them in person?" I asked trying to be calm about it…

"You actually met them, but were too young to remember. Then 13 years ago they moved to San Diego…" mom explained.

"So they left about the time Ross was born?" shit Rydel why do you do that?

"I was the reason my parents moved out?" Ross said completely shocked and wide eyed.

"No Ross... I-It was their choice to move out. They had their reasons, but they were happy with it so you should not feel guilty." Mum reassured Ross as he looked down.

"They couldn't have just randomly moved out of their hometown the same days I was born... Especially since I know for fact it would have been difficult for her to move around if she had just given birth. I just... I don't understand why would they just... Get up and leave when I was born and get away from you and lose all contact... Why did you lose all contact?" Ross asked curiously, suddenly dropping the subject of being the reason his family moved out.

Mum shifted her weight from one leg to another nervously. She looked around at everybody staring at her. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

My expression darkened.

My eyes became a darker shade of brown, almost black.

I slowly breathed through my mouth.

I grit my teeth rather harshly.

A growl escaped.

"There's more to this." I scowled

"Wha-"

"You've told us more lies."

"Riker wha-"

"Fucking hell mum don't try to act all innocent and shit you KNOW there's more than that! Ross is right, there's something more! We've always been the best family, always close and supporting each other! There couldn't be a long lost cousin just 'cause they moved out! So stop giving us shit and explain the truth! And I mean the whole truth. The fucking truth you've been hiding for all these years!" I screamed frustrated with my whole, fake life.

My vision blurred, my chest felt tight and my hearing seemed distant. Suddenly, there were doctors rushing around me and my family was pushed outside the room. That was the last thing I remembered before I everything went black.

Rydel's POV

We are in the waiting room again… This is getting more worrying as the time passes by… Everyone except mom who is calling dad I suppose…

I guess I should call Ell, he has the right to be here, I mean he is our best friend…

-Convo-

Rydel: Hey Rat! What are you doing?

Ratliff: Playing video games! Oh! I came to your place some time ago and no one was home… Where are you guys?

Rydel: That's what I was going to talk to you about… You see Riker fainted cause of some shocking news and well we are at the hospital. Do you mind coming please? The doctors said that he'll be okay, but I think you deserve to be here…

Ratliff: Oh my God! I'll be there as soon as I can…

-End of convo-

I hung up with a sigh and rested my head against the wall. The room was silent, nobody daring to say anything. I could feel the tension between my mum and everybody else, especially Ross. I saw my mum had hung up the phone from my dad, and she was dialing another number. I stayed silent as I listened to the conversation.

"Hey... It-It's Stormie..." she said looking down. "Yeah, it's been a while. Okay so... You really need to come back... It-it's really important... The kids-" she got cut off by the person on the other line as she sighed sadly. "We're in the hospital-It's nothing serious. Riker went to shock... Yeah that's the thing." she frowned before continuing "The kids-well Riker- found out. No, not the full story. That's why I need you here. I think it's about time to tell them the full story. I really can't get out of it, but they need the truth. The whole truth." She stopped as there were muffled sounds from the other line. I couldn't tell what the person was saying. My mum frowned before talking. "They... They somehow bumped into two kids, you may be familiar with the one. You know..." she said "Yes, him. Get here as soon as you can. Alright. See you then." she said before hanging up and bit her lip.

Who the hell was that?
