Chapter 1
''I'VE BEEN WAKING YOU UP FOR HOURS,COME DOWN BEFORE I COME
UPSTAIRS'',MY MOTHER SHOUTED FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME FOR ME TO WAKE UP,
I WAS'NT REALLY ONE TO OBEY BUT SHE KINDA SEEMED ANGRY AND I WAS
SCARED SO I MADE MY WAY DOWNSTAIRS.
MY MOTHER CASTED ME A DANGEROUS GLANCE AND I ACTED AS IF I DID'NT SEE
HER GLARE AND ACTED INNOCENT.
NOTICING THIS MY SISTER ARIEL BUTTED IN ''I WOULD'NT HAVE APPRECIATED
YOUR BEHAVIOUR IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER'' AND SNICKERED SECRETLY WHILE
WINKING AT ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE WAS CREATING PROBLEMS FOR
ME,''WELL THEN IT'S A GOOD THING YOU ARE NOT BECAUSE SHE (MOTHER) IS
WAY COOLER THAN YOU'' I REVERTED KNOWING THAT MY MOTHER UNDERSTOOD
WHAT I WAS DOING.
ASSESING THE SITUATION SHE JUST ANSWERED ''HMM, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
TRYING TO DO, DO NOT FORGET THAT I AM YOUR MOTHER SO FOCUS ON YOUR
FOOD LAZY ASS'' AND JUST LIKE THAT I WAS ROASTED AS EVERYONE EXCEPT ME BURSTED OUT IN FITS OF LAUGHTER BUT I COULD'NT RESIST SO EVEN I
BURSTED OUT LAUGHING.
SO LET’S START BY ME TELLING YOU ABOUT MY FAMILY, I HAVE ONE SISTER WHO
IS APPARENTLY TEN SECONDS OLDER THAN ME, YUP I KNOW SHOCKING BUT WE
ARE FRATERNAL TWINS AND I EVEN HAVE A BROTHER WHO IS SIX YEARS OLDER
THAN BOTH OF US BUT HE MOVED TO LA SHORTLY AFTER HIS SCHOOL FOR
HIGHER STUDIES, WE MISS HIM A LOT BUT ENOUGH ABOUT HIM BECAUSE THIS IS
MY STORY.
EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE MY SCHOOL, FRIENDSHIPS, FAMILY EVERYTHING
WAS PERFECT; I WAS HAPPY, CONTENT UNTIL BOTH OF MY PARENTS WERE LATE
BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY IN HOSPITAL AND AS THEY BOTH
WORKED SIDE BY SIDE, THEY BOTH WERE LATE BUT THIS WAS’NT UNUSUAL, AS
WE WERE USED TO THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR BUT THE UNUSUAL PART STARTED
WHEN IT WAS FIVE IN THE MORNING BUT THERE WAS NO CALL FROM MUM AS
WHATEVER HAPPENED MY MUM MADE SURE TO LET BOTH OF US KNOW AT WHAT
TIME SHE WILL BE HOME SO WHEN SHE NEVER CALLED I KNEW I HAD TO DO
SOMETHING SO I CALLED AT THE HOSPITAL RECEPTION TO KNOW AT WHAT TIME
WILL THEY BE HOME.
WHAT THE RECEPTIONIST SAID WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THERE WHEREBOUTS
SHOCKED ME TO MY CORE, SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD LEFT HOURS AGO. TO
SDAY THAT I WAS SHELL-SHOCKED WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BECAUSE THIS
HAS NEVER HAPPENED ONCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
SO I DECIDED TO GO CHECK FOR MYSELF ABOUT WHAT THE SITUATION WAS SO I
DROVE THE ROUTE MY PARENTS USUALLY TOOK. WHEN I REACHED THE BRIDGE
THEIR WAS UTTER CHAOS, POLICE WAS TALKING ON THE MICROPHONES, ASKING
WHO THE THREE PEOPLE WERE, MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WHEN THE POLICE
IDENTIFIED THAT TWO OF THEM WERE DOCTORS AS THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR ID
CARDS, NEXT FEW MOMENTS WERE PUZZLED AS I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS
DOING AS THE POLICE SHOWED ME THEIR ID CARDS.
THEY WERE MY PARENTS.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW?
ARIEL.
ALEX.
HOW WILL I TELL THEM ABOUT THIS SITUATION?
