She nodded. "Yeah." I ran up to her and squeezed her. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. I let go of her and looked at her.

"Natalie, how, how did you know I was hear?" I asked her. She raised her phone which had one of my Instagram posts. "I saw your post. You added a location." she answered.

I laughed. "Yeah, I always do that." We hugged again. "So who did you get hear? And where have you been?"

She grinned. "I took the bus and it's a long story." I nodded then looked at my car. "How about we go for a ride?"

I passed through cars and entered the traffic route. I leaned back and listened to the radio. Natalie was next to me fiddling with my Tube Hero of SkyDoesMinecraft . She studied it.

"What is this?" she asked. I looked at her. "Oh, that's a toy figurine of a YouTuber. I actually know him," I said, "In fact, I work for him." She looked at me. "Wait, SkyDoesMinecraft as in that dude who has almost 11 million subscribers and makes a lot of money?!" she said. I smiled at her reaction and nodded. "Yup."

After that, I explained my job and who I work with. Then I told her where I live now and that I going to live there with them until I get enough money for my own place to stay.

I also told her about what happened before all of this, how I ran away and tried to apply as a salesclerk at stores but none accepted me. The entire time she listened, and it made me realize when we would talk together.

Wait a minute, I never explained who Natalie was. Natalie is my half sister. Before my dad married my mom, he got engaged with Natalie's mom. While they were engaged, she got pregnant with Natalie. Sadly, she died in the childbirth. So how is Natalie younger than me if her mom gave birth to her before my dad married my mom?

Well, my dad, a year before, had an affair with my mom. I know that sounds horrible towards Natalie's mom, but Natalie's mom was kind of a b**ch. She turned into an alcoholic before the marriage and slept with a lot of guys. She was always fighting with my dad. That's how she died in childbirth. The alcohol killed. Fortunately, Natalie survived healthy.

So that's who Natalie is, and to explain who she really is this is it. After Natalie's family heard our dad had an affair with another woman and that she had a baby, they took Natalie away from him. Her aunts took care of her. However, I got so close to her because we went to the same schools.

We would hang out and play together. When she struggled with tests I helped her. Sadly, we lost a little bit of friendship when I started moving up grades because of my intelligence. Still, we were best friends.

After the fire, she was depressed and she even dropped out when she was going to college. She hid herself like I did and we texted and gave each other updates on how we were doing.

If you looked at us together, you would never know we were sisters. I had kind of tan skin and had brown curly wavy hair with brown eyes, while she was dirty blonde with dark blue and greenish eyes that change colors everyday. We were both fit but she was more skinny than me. I had long hair, she had kind of long hair. Yeah, we were different, but we were best friends.

Now, Natalie told me that she stayed with some friends when she was hiding. Now, she with me.

"Natalie, if you don't have a place to stay, why don't you stay with me?" I asked. She looked at me. "But aren't you staying with people right now?" she said. "Well, I am kind of paying the rent with them so as long as I'm paying, you can stay." She smiled and hugged me. "Yay!" she yelled.

I pulled up to the parking lot of the apartments. When I got out of the car, Tim was coming down the stairs with a suitcase. I was confused. "Tim, where are you going?" I asked him. He saw me and waved. "I'm going to visit some family out of state for a week." he responded. I nodded. "Oh, cool. Don't get hit by a bus, Tim!" I yelled as he went to his ride. "I won't!" he yelled back.

I smiled and looked back at Natalie. She was smiling. "He seems fun."

We walked through the hallways and up the stairs to the apartment. I opened the door and saw Max and Ross on the couch. Screams were coming from the T.V so I knew they were watching some horror movie. I closed the door behind me and Ross noticed.

Ross's P.O.V
I was sitting on the couch when Max came in, talking to someone on his phone. That someone was Alexa, again. "Okay, bye!" Max said and hung up. I looked at him. He was smiling and pulled out a movie. "Paranormal Activity 4 anyone?" he said. I shook my head.

"No, no way. You know I hate horror movies." I said. He grinned. "I know." He put the disc into the DVD player and the movie started. I crossed my arms and stared at Max. "I f**king you." I told him.

A half hour later, the door opened. I was happy for the distraction and jumped out of my seat. Melody came through the door with some girl. I didn't get a good glimpse of her.

"Hey, Melody." I said. "Hi, Ross. This is Natalie. She's my sister." she said. Max and I looked at Natalie as she raised her head. My heart pounded. Wow. Natalie was beautiful. She had dirty blonde hair that was kind of wavy, like Melody's. She was thin and had cute blue and green eyes.

I waved. "He-hey." I said hesitating. Natalie blushed. "Hi." Melody looked at Max who was staring at her. She smiled and looked back at us.

"I was wondering if she can stay with us for a little while. Maybe take Tim's room while he's away." she said. I nodded. "It's fine. Max?" I said looking at Max. He looked at me. "What? Yeah, sure." he replied. Melody blushed. I balled my hands into fists. Oh, now you're going to gawk over Melody because Alexa's not here.

"Cool." Melody finally said. "I'll show you around, Natalie." She took Natalie's arm and they went to the hallway. Natalie looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

Max noticed us and grinned. "Oh, man. Ross has another crush." he said. I looked at him. "Another?" I said. He rolled his eyes. "Oh, come one Ross. Tell me you don't like Melody. She is cute and nice and friendly and beautiful." he said his voice getting lower with every word. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

In the night, we all watched the rest of Paranormal Activity 4. Natalie didn't seem afraid at all. She was watching it relief-free and actually laughed at some of the scenes. However, whenever Melody got scared, she jumped to the side. Once, she jumped so far to the side, she fell in Max's arms.

Of course I was jealous, I like Melody. She's so cute and playful. Who wouldn't like her?

After the movie, we went to our places of sleep. Melody slept in Max's room this time and Natalie slept in Tim's. I looked into Natalie's room. She was sleeping soundly, curled up in the sheets. I smiled and closed the door. Max saw me looking.

"I told you." he said grinning, I rolled my eyes. "Go to sleep, ***hole."

Yes, I made another one! I'm on a roll! So the explanation and appearance of Natalie is IIioticNerdAlert herself! Go check out her story to find me in her chapters. Now, for a special announcement.
