I didn't respond. I decided to play her game and answer only, if she will call me my real name. I walked upstairs. "Eve! You need to eat." I took my phone, find my sisters number and texted her.

Me: Mary, I need you to tell mum that there's no one in this house named 'Eve', okay?

Little sis💜: Okay.

I heard voices from downstairs... "Mommy?" "Yes, hun?" "Who are you talking too? There is no one named 'Eve' in this house... Is someone visiting us?" Mum probably just sighed. "I am talking to your sister, dear." she said... How I hated this... "But mommy, I don't have a sister.. I have only brother! Will you have another child?" I sadly smiled. She always cared about me so much.... She is the closest friend I've got.... Screw the five years long difference! She is and always will be my best friend.... There was silence...

"So mommy, who is Eve? You still didn't tell me!" I heard a slap. Probably dad. "EVE! COME DOWNSTAIRS! RIGHT. NOW." I stayed in the room.

Me: Mary, run! To our room!

I heard quick footsteps of little feet. Mary! I opened the door and quickly closed it when she ran inside. I locked the room. I hugged my sister tightly. "Ssshhh... Everything is alright now... I petted her back. "And what are we gonna do?" "Run away."
