"You have a sister, Emma" my mum cried.

My head started spinning and I felt lightheaded. I needed to think.

"M-mum, please leave" I tried to get my mum to leave.

"I'm sorry Emma, I didn't know" she was crying and I'm not sure if she was happy or sad.

"Mum, please leave" I asked pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Emma please" I didn't hear the rest of what she said because I grabbed my phone, put in my ear buds and was putting on my shoes when my mum noticed what I was doing.

"What are you doing?" She asked me standing up.

I ignored her and walked to the door. When she tried to hold me back, I ran out the door.

I ran out of the house listening to Demons by Imagine Dragons.

I ran towards the park and I wasn't looking where I was going until I crashed into someone.

"I'm so sorry" I apologized as strong, rough hands held my waist.

"It's okay, are you alright?" A deep and smooth voice asked me.

I looked at the owner of the voice and nearly fell. Looking at me with was a cute guy with bronze hair.

He had sharp cheek bones and a small nose and gave me a smile that showed cute dimples and straight set of white teeth. His lips were perfectly shaped with a cupid's bow.

His green eyes were smiling at me and were dancing with amusement.

"Are you just going to stare at me all day?" He asked as he released me.

"Oh, I'm.. um..", What was my name again? Emma, right.

"I'm Emma" I gave him my hand he shook it.

"Nice meeting you, I'm Sal" he grinned at me. "Now do you mind telling me why you were running like your life depended on it?" he asked me.

"I was just.. clearing my head" I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

Okay.. well I've never seen your face around here before. Did you just move here?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Do you know everyone in this town?" When he doesn't answer I continue, "I moved here with my mum" I tell him praying he'll get bored and go away.

"Okay, where do you live?" He asks oblivious to the fact that he sounds like a serial killer.

"I'm sorry but I can't disclose that information to a stranger, I have to go" I run off before he asks me more questions.

When I get to the park, I slow down and my mind starts running.

My thoughts are jumbled when I sit down on a park bench.

Why would my dad do that? He was always so caring? How could he sell his chill and then leave his other child?

"Mummy. Daddy. You're back" I rush to meet my parents and my new sibling because my parents didn't tell me what gender the baby was.

I run to the front door to find my parents looking sad and without a baby.

"Where's the baby? Why are you sad mum? Dad?" I'm confused by their faces. Aren't they supposed to be happy?

"Um.. baby, please calm down. I'll explain everything to you just.. let me take mummy to the room" he tells me and my nanny ushers me to the kitchen.

My dad comes back downstairs and carries me to the living room.

"Um.. Emma, Mummy and I are very sad because of something that happened to baby" he told me looking sad.

What happened to baby? Is he sick? Or is she sick?" I asked him confused.

"Baby.. baby.. died" he told me dropping his head.

At that time I didn't understand what happened. I didn't know I was crying till I felt the tears on my cheeks.

I cried not because of my sister but because my said dad, sold my baby sister and lied to everyone about it.

How could he deprive me of my sister and my sister of us? I always imagined the two of us growing up together.

"Hey Emma" I heard Jace call me and I tried to wipe my tears quickly.

"Um.. hey J" I waved to him trying not to sound like I was crying.

He ran towards me and sat down next to me. "Are you crying?"

"No" I cleared my throat, "I mean, no."

"You know you're not bad liar, right? What happened? Why are you crying?" He asks cupping my cheek and I feel oddly calm.

Can I trust him? Do I trust him enough to tell him?

"Well.. the thing is.. I don't know if I trust you enough to tell you this." I sigh and a look of pain and hurt flashes in his bright blue eyes.

"You don't trust me" he whispers more to himself.

"No, no, no. I trust you it's just" I sigh and a look of relief covers his face. "I found out something this afternoon."

"What did you find that betrays your trust for me?" He asks with a bit of humor.

"I.. I have a sibling" I tell him and he looks surprised and taken aback then he begins to laugh.

"What's so funny?" I ask him angrily.

When he doesn't stop laughing, I stand up to walk away but he grabs my wrist.

"Why are you angry? Is it because I'm laughing? Well, what do you expect when you're crying over a sibling?" He stands up still holding my wrist.

"If you stopped laughing and listened to me I wouldn't be angry" I yell and a few people turn their heads towards us.

Jace smiles and apologizes to them dragging me away. I drag my hand from him and stalked away angrily.

Jace
Why is she getting so worked about having a sibling? Maybe she enjoys being a single child?

"Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong with you?" I run to her and drag her to my chest and her breath hitches.

I'm panting and her warm breath is fanning my face. Her lips are slightly open and her chest is heaving up and down.

Look away from her chest. Look away, look away.

We stare at each other for a while before she looks away and pulls herself from my embrace.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She snaps at me but I'm not listening to her. Her cheeks are flushed out of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know why you were angry" I tell her and look at my feet.

"My dad" she mutters and I freeze.

Her parents are divorced and her dad left her. What happened? Maybe her dad remarried and had a child?

"Emma why are you talking about your dad" I walk towards her and she begins crying again. Shit.

"He.. he lied to us" she sniffed. I pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Would you like to get some ice cream?" I ask her and she laughs. "I know this great ice cream place and you know what they say, nothing helps a sad person more than ice cream."

"Okay, I guess ice cream makes everything better, right?" She laughs and we begin walking towards my house.

"I don't know if you want to tell me but.. what do you mean your dad lied to you?" I asked her and she seemed a bit upset.

"I'll tell you about it later. First, let's get some ice cream" she smiles.

After a few minutes we were at an ice cream parlour getting our desserts. I got strawberry dipped in chocolate and peanuts but Emma got mint chocolate chips and sprinkles.

After getting our ice creams, we went to sit down to enjoy them. After a while I was getting too curious and Emma noticed.

"You want to know what happened to me right?" She asked stabbing her ice cream with her spoon.

"Um.. yeah, what do you mean you have a sibling?" She starts and I nod.

"Well, my parents divorced when I was 7 and my dad left because we were bankrupt" she looks at me and I notice for the first time the sadness in her eyes.

"This afternoon, I got back from a sleep over at Kim's and my mum was crying and she was on the phone and mentioned the name Dave" she continues.

"I got curious but she told me not to worry about it that she'll explain it to me. Then she came to my room and told me I have a sister" she explains but I'm still confused.

"When I was 6, my mum was pregnant but she didn't want to know the gender of the baby till they gave birth to her because she wanted it to be a surprise. I was told the baby died but my dad.. sold the baby" she drops her head in shame.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Wow, that's.. How can you sell your own child?

"My dad sold my sister to a rich woman who's baby died and he lied to everyone" she mutters again and my attention is drawn to her again.

"Are you okay?" I ask her but her phone rings.

She looks at it and smiles a little. "It's my mom, should I answer it?" She looks at me and I nod.

"Okay, excuse me" she grabs her phone and walks towards the toilet.

After a while she comes back looking like someone just died.

She looks at me and I realize something's wrong. "My dad and my sister are in my house"

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was taking a break from writing because my hands were tired.

What do you guys think of Sal, eh? (wiggles eyebrows) Maybe he'll be the wake up call Jace needs. Something big is coming up so fasten your seatbelts because it's about to get rough.

Bye loves.
