Chapter One: Introducing the main characters

Mercy

“Mercius, Get up now” Dad banged on my door. I moaned and fell out of the bed.

“Mercy is up and now sore” I told him reaching over to the bedside table and grabbing my phone.

“You better not be on faceplant book” he chuckled

“Hahaha, I’ll be down in 45.”

“Try 20” he went downstairs. I got off the floor, grabbed a bunch of random clothes and ran into the bathroom. Inside, I had a quick shower, put the clothes on and applied makeup.

“Hey where’s Mum gonna be today?” I asked Dad as I grabbed a piece of bacon off his plate.

“She might be in New York, that’s what I could gather from last night’s 3 minute conversation at least” he explained putting his plate in the sink.

“Why did we have to move to … again what was the point of it?”

“Your Mother thought she might be staying here but then things changed after we moved across the country.” He kissed my forehead. “You ready for School?”

I groaned, “do I have to go?” I put my head on his chest.

“Your 16 you only have two years left anyways.”

“18 months.” I corrected him, “I wonder if mum will show up to my Graduation. Who knows right?”

“She will be there she’s not a monster after all.”

“Mmmhmmm, we’ll see about that” I grabbed my school bag and he grabbed his gym bag. Just so you peeps know my dad is a stay-at-home dad.

“Do you want to drive?” He asked waving the keys to the Porsche in my face.

“Are you for real, you do realise that those are the keys to the Porsche right?” I raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah, how cool would it be to drive to school in the Porsche? It is yours after next year anyway.”

“OK, I’ll just bring MORE Attention to myself by arriving in week 5 of term 2 during year 11” I answered sarcastically, grabbing the keys and running out of the house. I turned the car on as I hopped in and waited for him to lock the house. My phone linked to the radio and ‘Rise’ by Katy Perry started playing through the speakers.

“I won't just survive oh, you will see me thrive” I began to sing.

“Can’t write my story, I'm beyond the archetype” dad starting singing too.

“You just love that Katy Perry don't you?”

“You do too” I giggled. “That's the school.”

“No it's the shopping centre” dad exaggerated.

“OK thanks for that I’ll see you at three?” I grabbed my bag and dad hopped out.

“Sure thing. Should I bring the Bentley, the ghost or the porsche?” He asked getting into the driver’s seat.

“I think the Ghost should have some time out of the garage this afternoon” I giggled as I kissed his cheek and walked into the school grounds. A shiver went down my spine. Something felt weird all of a sudden. I walked over to where all the kids were gathering.

“Hey Sable” a random kid walked past, That was weird, that’s not even close to my name.

“Hey Sable” A girl ran my way and I ran the other direction until I was certain I lost them. This is going to get weird quickly.

Sable

“Sable, what’s up?” I heard the familiar, annoying voice of my friend Goel. “Hey Goel” I laughed as he hooked arms with me, walking through the front doors of our school. Goel is a bit of a character. He’s super funny and adorable. We’ve been friends since we were young, nothing had ever split us apart. He was like a brother to me, a super cute and sassy brother. One time a teacher asked him why his name was spelt with a G instead of a J. I nearly died of laughter when he snapped his fingers at the teacher and said ‘because it’s cooler that way.’ I watched as his floppy black hair fell over his shiny green eyes in contrast to his light skin. “You hear about the new girl coming today?” he snapped me back into reality.“No, what new girl?” I asked.

“Dunno, all I heard was that there was a new girl coming today” he smirked, “hope she’s hot.” I chuckled and shoved him playfully. “Me too, it’s about time you found a girlfriend you single pringle” I laughed some more. He blushed and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.

I was going to laugh again at his adorableness when someone else beat me to it. I silently groaned and turned to see Gabe as he came over to ruffle up his brother’s hair.

“Is someone blushing about someone special?” Gabe giggled as he came up and stood beside me.

Gabe and Goel are fraternal twins in every way. Their eyes are different even though they are the same colour, Gabe’s are more piercing than Goel’s. While Goel’s hair is black, Gabe’s is a soft brown that doesn’t hang down like Goel’s did but rather it sticks up on his head. He’s a jock too, with a strong build and a bulky frame that made all the girls swoon. Not only does he play football but he is also captain of the swim team and the boy’s soccer team. This is the complete opposite to Goel who spends a lot of his time reading books or playing video games with me. Not to say that Goel isn’t good looking, as I said before, he’s freaking adorable, he just doesn’t play any sports and so his body isn’t as muscular.

Back to the matter at hand. Goel rolled his eyes at his twin and turned his eyes to me in a pleading way. Not like I could do anything, Gabe doesn’t listen to me.

“Gabe, can you go away?” Goel sighed.

“Aww what’s wrong little bro? Don’t like your twin hanging around? Am I annoying you?” he teased. Goel sighed again and put on a serious expression. Oh no, now he was mad.

“Gabe don’t call me your ‘little bro’ I’m only two minutes younger than you! Now go and knock heads with your stupid, meathead friends or something.”

“Geez, fine. See ya later then. Oh and see you later too Sabe” he winked at me and jogged down the hall until he was out of sight.

I rolled my eyes but held a smile on my face. Definitely fraternal.

Chapter Two: Questions

Mercy

“Sable what are you doing here? You are never this early to my classes ” A teacher asked.

“My timetable said I have this class... and who the hell is this Sable person, seriously?” I walked away before I started hurting someone. Grabbing my earphones, I shuffled my CALM DOWN TIME playlist. ‘Wildside’ by Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson began playing into my ears.

I danced/skipped down the hallway of the school but was stopped when a guy a couple inches taller than me crossed my path. Just as I looked up at his green eyes and brown hair, ‘Smoke and Fire’ by Sabrina Carpenter started.

“Are you for real” I stopped the music.

“What are you doing S…”

“Not you dare call me Sable or I will rip your throat out… with my teeth” I warned him.

“New Girl, I like you already, I’m Gabe Tyson” he held out his hand.

“Mercy” I shook it.

“You need to meet someone, she’s with my twin at the moment.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall.

“There they are” he smirked as we came to a stop.

I looked at the two people standing in front of us. My eyebrows raised at the sight of the girl. Looking back at Gabe, I noticed his smirk get wider. Beside the girl was another boy. He was basically the complete opposite to Gabe. He didn’t look like his twin… unless...

“Fraternal” I stated.

“Yeah, it’s obvious.” He chuckled a bit.

“What now Gabe?” Gabe’s so called twin asked.

“Open you eyes Dweebo” he pushed me onto the girl.

“I’m guessing you are the Sable kid I’ve been hearing about this morning?” I asked her.

“Guys this is…” Gabe started but he was cut off.

“Mercy, I know. We have to go” the girl, Sable answered as she grabbed Gabe’s twin and ran off.

“Well that was…” Gabe started.

“Awkward” I finished his sentence.

“Stop finishing my sentences! Both of you do it, it’s creepy!” he walked away throwing his hands around aimlessly.

“Well then.” I huffed and walked back over to the classroom for the first lesson.

SABLE POVOh no. How did this happen? What if she finds out? What is she kills her? Mercy why the hell did you have to come here of all places? Now you’re in danger! I put a hand to my forehead and sighed, tears edging my eyes. I could remember it like it was yesterday despite only being young at the time.

“Sable… we have something to tell you” my mother sat down beside me on the couch.

“Can it wait mum? I’m watching ninja turtles!” my eight year old self replied.

Mum turned the TV off, making me pout.

“Aww mummy! Why did you turn it off?” I whined.

“Because honey, this is important.”

“Fine” I crossed my arms over my chest but turned my attention to her.

Just then my dad came in as well. He was still wearing his blue police uniform from work. His grey eyes scanned over me before picking me up and putting me on his lap as he sat on the couch. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and I giggled. She smiled softly but soon turned back to her serious expression. My parents gave each other a nod before my mother started to speak.

“Sable” she began before sighing, “you see… well… this is hard to say but…”

“Look Sabe” my father took over, “Hugo, Connor and Jem aren’t your only siblings…”

“What do you mean daddy? I have more? Like who?”

“Sable…”

“You have a twin sister darling and an older brother too…” Mum continued.

“Huh? But why haven’t I met them? How can I have a twin that I’ve never seen?”

“They were taken from us when you were only just born honey” Mum answered.

“But why? What do you mean they were taken?” I was very confused.

Mum sighed again, tears began to brim her eyes.

“An evil lady took them Sable and we can’t get them back but… we thought we should let you know now that you’re older…” Dad told me.

“Why can’t we get them back?” I asked.

“Because-”

“Because she threatened to kill them if your twin sister ever found out that we are her real parents!” my mum cried.

“But-”

“Sable, we’re sorry. We know this is a lot of information to put on you at once but you have to trust us okay?” Dad became very serious.

“You can’t tell anyone else that you have a twin sister okay? We can’t risk Mercy and Jason being killed.”

“Mercy and Jason?”

“Your sister and brother” he confirmed.

“Oh… Okay” I nodded.

“Good girl” my dad smiled and rubbed the top of my head.

That was when I found out about my lost twin. The girl that had appeared at my school today.

Chapter Three: Mercy finds her family

MERCY POV

When school finally finished I was sick and tired of people calling me Sable. I was also pretty confused. Why on earth was there a girl that looked just like me? Were we twins of something? I laughed to myself. No… surely not. That’s stupid right? I don’t have some sort of long lost twin… but then again… she did look so much like me… I decided to confront my father on the matter, he would tell me what the hell was going on. What if he wasn’t even my real father!? Oh my God. I needed answers, right now.

Just then, I saw the Ghost turn the corner.

“Who the hell are you?” I asked my so called ‘father’, staring into his eyes as he came to a stop beside me..

“What do you mean?” He asked.

I turned off the Justin Bieber song that he was singing as I entered the car.

“There is a girl who looks very similar to me and everyone thought I was her.” He put the car into gear and drove out of the car park.

“Is she here?” He asked.

“Yeah what the fuck is going on here?”

“Watch your tongue Miss” he warned.

“Well tell me what’s going on then!” I demanded.

“When was the last time you talked to your mother?”

“What?”

“Your Mother.”

“Maybe 2 years ago, she never talks to me anymore.”

“Great, cause you cannot tell her you’re here, she must never know what we have done”

“Dad… What are you talking about? You’re scaring me” I held back the tears

“That woman is not your mother, she is our kidnapper”

“What do you mean our Kidnapper… Who are you?” I asked him, everything is so confusing.

“I am your brother Jason, I was 12 when… well I was watching you in the nursery, then a lady came up to me, grabbed you and put a gun to your head. She threaten to kill you then and there if I didn’t cooperate.”

My eyes went wide. Surely he was lying right? What did he mean he was my brother? His gaze looked dead serious though and it caused me to break. I hopped out of the car and ran down the street not sure where I was going, just running away from this nightmare. Keep running Mercy keep running. The little voice inside me was yelling.

I ran all the way the the shopping centre and tried to ignore the dirty looks everyone was giving me as I walked around.

“Hey Sable” a Police officer waved at me. I waved back relentlessly. He started to walk my direction and I walked backwards until. BAM.

“Sable, Honey where did you come from? Aren’t you meant to be at the Tyson’s?” A woman around her 50’s asked. She have a little 6 year old girl next to her.

“Mummy let’s go” the little girl said.

“I’m not… I’m not Sable” I whispered. This Sable girl is popular around here.

“Oh my… Mercy? Adam get over here!” she yelled.

I looked up at her and then ran off in the other direction. Who was that? I ran into the girl’s bathroom and slid down the door. My necklace hung around my neck and I held it as i cried. The past 16 years of my life had all been a lie. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and took it out, looking at it wondering whether I should pick it up or not. The picture of my best friend’s goofy face flashed on the screen. I sniffed, wiping the tears from my face.

“Hey Albi, What’s up?” I accepted his facetime.

“What’s wrong honey-buckle?” He asked, the goofy smile was gone.

“My life is turning upside down, what should I do?” I asked tears escaped my eyes.

“How bad is it?”

“Rachael isn’t my mother and Jason isn’t my dad… so bad” I explained in one sentence.

“Oh Shit, I’m sorry Mercy, I wish these stupid phones had a teleportation app that I could download, so I could give you a hug. I’m gonna search for one, I’ll see you next week…” the signal cut out. Wait what? Did he just say see you next week, what was he planning?

“Hi, I’m Olivia but everyone calls me Livvy” the little girl from earlier appeared.

“Livvy you shouldn’t run away from your mum like that” I told her.

“But you just did” She sassed.

“My mum is in New York”

“No, you just ran away from our mum” she fought back.

“I’m not Sable” I stood up.

“I know, you’re Mercy”

“What is going…?” The room started spinning and I heard a crack.

“MUMMY” I heard a little girl scream before everything was red then black.

******************

I opened my eyes. Bright lights, and lots of them, surrounded me. I sat up, my head throbbing.

“What happened?” I asked. My throat was dry, I gulped trying to moisten it.

“Lie down sweetie, your body needs to rest” the Policeman from before laid me down again.

“MERCY” I heard my dad’s voice.

“IN HERE DAD” I yelled as loud as I could. I looked around only to see a bunch of people who I had never seen in my life.

“Mercy?” Dad stood in the doorway.

“I’m so sorry Daddy” tears flooded my eyes.

“Jason?” A guy in his early twenties asked.

“Jem?” Dad asked and the guy nodded. They ran towards each other, they hugged in the middle of the room.

“Did Hugo break another bone?” Sable came in looking at her phone.“Hey!” The younger boy took offense. She looked up and looked at me in the hospital bed.

“You.”

“Me to infinity” I answered sassily and dad chuckled.

“Everyone meet Mercy” he chuckled then he hugged the woman from earlier and the policeman.

“Do you believe me now?” Dad asked sitting next to me.

“Where is that woman anyway?” The police officer asked.

“Apparently in New York somewhere.”

“What is happening?”

“These people are all our family” Jason/dad explained.

“It’s gonna take some time for me to stop calling you dad” I told him hugging him.

“The Family has grown since you have been away. This is Hugo we adopted him when he was 3 years old and Olivia is 7 on Saturday.” mum announced.

“Wait someone is missing.” Jason said looking at Jem.

“Connor? He’s… gone” They looked down.

“You just have to ruin everything don’t you, you brat!” Sable ran out with Jem going after her.

“He would have only been 17. What happened?”

“He is not gone he’s here, with the tubes in that special room. Remember Mummy” Livvy explained.

“Olivia take me to him, now” Jason ordered.

“No, don’t Jason, don’t do it.” Dad warned.

“Take me, or I’ll take myself” Jason stormed out and dad ran out behind him. This is just ruining both of our families.

“Mercy, I’m sorry that, that happened” The woman who was apparently my real mother came over to the bed.

“What happened for all of us to be like this?”

“Someone took you the day you were born, Jemuel, the guy Jason hugged when he came in,was with Sable when you guys were taken. I’ll explain the Clark family to you. Ok so you have two sisters and four brothers: Jason, Jemuel, Connor and Hugo who we adopted 10 years ago.”

“Is Connor the one in the coma? What happened?”

“2 months ago… his friend drove a car under the influence of alcohol and tried to run over a tree but... you could imagine the outcome of that” tears appeared in her eyes.. “The boy who drove was put off life support two weeks ago. He died yesterday.” she sobbed.

“Can I meet him?” I asked her softly.

“If you want to I guess since there’s a possibility that you will never meet him in real life.”

“There is always hope in times like this.” I told her wiping the tears away from her face.”We just have to stay strong for him” I told her kissing her cheek and hugging her for the first time in my life.

“Let’s go before I get emotional again” Mum helped me out of the bed. We walked slowly down the hallway with Livvy and Hugo dance circles around us and singing way off key.

“He is in there” Hugo stopped, it was so cute since his voice was getting squeaky. We stood outside the intensive care unit. A second later, Sable and Jem came over to stand with us. Jem hand his hand on her shoulder. She seemed to have calmed down but judging by her expression, she didn’t want to talk about the boy in the next room again.

“Let’s go meet Connor” I sighed as Hugo and Livvy opened the doors. Jason was holding the boy’s hand and crying into his exposed upper body that had bandages here and there. From what I could tell however, the unconscious boy was VERY fit and cute. He’s apparently your brother Mercy, I thought to myself, how on earth do you share the same genes as this human being? I started laughing at myself in my head but quickly stopped when I saw everyone’s stares. I just stood there awkwardly after that.

“Who did this?” Jason asked, his eyes red and cheeks wet from the overflow of tears.

Sable seemed to flinch at this statement.

“Ben Unger” Jem answered.

“Joseph’s brother?” Jay continued, sitting up.

“Yeah,” Jem responded.

“But wasn’t Ben like 4 years older than Connor?”

“Yeah, he was, but technical it wasn’t Ben’s fault it was somebody else’s fault that the situation occurred” Hugo put in his 1 cent piece.

“Shut up,while you still have your teeth” Jem snapped at him.

“Boys” Dad warned.

Sable was very quiet throughout this little dispute.

Sable’s POV

I hated remembering what happened to Connor… partly because it was my fault. He wouldn’t have gone to that party if I hadn’t of wanted to go. It was my first party. Connor said that he was gonna pass and go to the movies instead but I convinced him to go with me. Then instead of taking a cab home like I did… I could remember that night pretty clearly.

“Connor please, I’ll doing your chores for a week if you take me, PLEASE?” I begged him.

“But I want to see Suicide Squad” he argued, “then again you say ALL of my chores which sounds like a good deal. Hmmmm... Suicide Squad or party with a bunch of random people that I don’t know with my widdle sister?” He pretended to think about it.

“Please!”

“Will you clean the toilets?” he tested.

“Yes!”

“Fine, I guess so” he saw Hugo walk past, and by the way he smirked I knew exactly what he was going to do.

“Trust fall” he fell backwards in Hugo.

“Dude seriously?” Hugo and Connor were both on the floor, Connor was rolling away laughing so hard he was pissing himself.

I sighed, snapping back into reality.

Mercy's POV

“Visiting hours are between 8am to 11am then 2pm to 5pm” the lady informed me. I ran down the hallway in the direction of the ICU eager to see him. As I entered his room, I heard security guards run past and hid in the closet. The noise quietened. I went to the chair beside his bed and grabbed his hand.

“Hey Connor, I am going to treat this like a voicemail; Hey it’s Mercy again, I hope that wherever you are, you’re dreaming of Lollipops and rainbows.” I said in a cartoon voice, being a little bit of a goofball. I swear he just hummed but it might just have been the machines or my imagination. I curled up beside him and fell asleep since it was like 11pm.

“GET OFF MY BROTHER!” I heard her voice in the distance. I woke up to Jem covering Sable’s mouth with one hand and holding a bunch of clothes in the other.

“Hey Mercy, it’s time for you guys to go to school. Jace got these for you” Jem gave me the clothes. I looked at them, then to Sable, then at Jem again.

“Why would I want to wear these?” I asked, referring to the clothes.

“That’s what Jay got out for you, he said these were your favourite” Jem answered.

“But they’re the same as what Sable is wearing, do you think this is a game?” I asked him.

“Wear what you’re wearing now then” he lead Sable away, walking out. I decided to run after them.

“What about my school bag?”

“In the car.”

“What about my medicine?”

“In your bag, you need to stop running away from life” Sable answered. We drove to school and I ran into the bathroom as soon as Jem stopped the car. I put on the leggings, then the blue Lake Hair Don’t Care singlet and then put my socks and joggers back on.

I was brushing my hair when…

“HONEY-BUCKLE” I heard his voice outside the door. I could see his goofy smile in my head and smiled at the memory.

“Who the fuck are you?” I heard the voice of my twin ask outside the door. That cause me to roll my eyes and sigh.

Sable POV

I was casually strolling through the hallway, looking for my twin when I heard someone say her name.

“Mercy!” the person yelled.

Where was she? I didn’t see Mercy anywhere. Suddenly a hand fell on my shoulder from behind and I turned quickly only to see a boy standing there. He had the goofiest smirk on his face but… wow. His black hair fell over his eye and hugged the sides of his face kind of like Goel’s but different. His eyes were what caught my attention though. They were so… beautiful. A light shade of blue that made me shiver in a weird way. They sparkled with humour as he looked down at me from his height. A lip ring accompanied his smirk and as I looked, I noticed his ears were pierced too with black studs.

I tried to ignore the strange feeling rising in my chest as I raised an eyebrow at him.

“What do you want?” I asked sassily.

He didn’t even seem to listen as he suddenly wrapped his strong arms around me and lifted me off the ground.

“HONEY-BUCKLE!!” he cried as my face went red.

“Wh… what?” I stuttered out as he finally put me down.

What was he doing? Did I know him?

“Who the fuck are you?” I exclaimed causing him to drop the smirk.

Just then my eyes widened as he lifted his shirt to reveal… abs, nice ones. I gulped as my face heated up even more. I nearly mumbled ‘day-yum’ under my breath but stopped myself luckily.

“I haven’t changed that much have I?” he smirked at me once again.

“Uh… I… uh…”

The door to the girl’s bathroom swung open beside us and I saw a flash of red hair as Mercy came out.

“Albi” she smiled, “put that away would ya?”

The guy… Albi, looked shocked. He kept moving his gaze between the two of us in astonishment.

“Wait…” he started. ‘What?”

I looked to Mercy as if asking her to explain. She seemed to know him so it would probably be better coming from her.

“You weren’t meant to be here until Wednesday, what happened?”

“It’s is Wednesday… uh... Mercy?” he said her name as if he was asking whether he was correct or not.

“Yes Albi I’m Mercy” she confirmed.

“But then who-”

“That’s Sable, she’s my twin sister.”

“Since when did you have a twin?” his eyebrow knitted together.

“I know, it’s kind of a bit to take in. I only found out myself about 3 days ago” Mercy answered.

Albi lowered his gaze to me and I blushed. I tried not to let him see it but judging by his smirk he probably did.

“So I just hugged your twin sister by accident?”

Mercy turned to me and smiled.

“Yeah.”

I was feeling kind of uncomfortable under his gaze. He kept his eyes on me while he spoke.

“Well sorry about that” he laughed, “my name’s Albi, I’m a friend of Mercy’s but uh... “ his smirk widened, “you can call me whatever you like baby cakes” he finished with a wink.

Okay now he was getting on my nerves.

“Look she’s blushing, something I would never do, eh Alb” Mercy giggled.

She just had to go and tease me didn’t she.

“Oh shut u-”

“Sable!” I heard another voice call from down the hall.

Goel and Gabe were heading our way.

“Who’s the new kid?” they asked.

“This is my friend Albi” Mercy answered, “not sure why he’s here actually but he is so…”

“Nice” Gabe smirked. “Hey there, the name’s Tyson, Gabe Tyson. This is my twin brother Goel, he’s a bit shy so he’ll probably avoid conversation.”

“Hey!” Goel complained.

Albi laughed. “Nice to meet you guys, I’m Peters, Albi Peters” he chuckled, mocking Gabe’s introduction as he held out his hand and they both shook it.

“Okay so now that we all know the new kid, we should probably get to class, the bell’s gonna ring soon” I interrupted.

“You’re here” Mercy seemed to just realise something, completely ignoring my statement.

“Yeah” Albi nodded staring at her dumbly.

She’s coming isn’t she?” She asked which caused him to sigh.

“Yeah, she is.”

“Wait guys, who is this ‘she’ you’re talking about” I asked.

“Oh no one” Albi turned his pretty blue eyes to me. “Just the biggest bitch to ever walk the earth.”

I turned to Mercy and gave her a questioning look.

“Rose Cox” Albi continued, “I can’t believe you ever did that with-”

“Shut the fuck up that was meant to stay in the dirt and the fucking past, you swore!” Mercy went to punch Albi who flinched, but stopped herself and ran down the hall instead.

“Mercy! Honey-Buckle… I’m sorry” Albi called after her.

“What?” Gabe stood there with a confused look that also matched mine and Goel’s.

“It’s a long story-” Albi started but then stopped himself. “That… that I can’t tell you cause it’s a secret.”

“Oh… ok” Gabe replied.

I stood there awkwardly with the boys. Goel nudged Gabe and nodded his head backwards as if to suggest they leave. Gabe got the message and followed him away from us.

“See you guys later, we should probably get going” Gabe said as he and Goel left.

I looked up at Albi who still looked a little worried.

“She’ll be okay” I told him, “you technically didn’t tell us anything so her secret- whatever it is- is safe.”

“You weren’t there” he simply answered as he turned to look into my eyes.

I stared into his in return which now looked… broken, darker too. A feeling began in my chest again but this time it didn’t feel so nice. I frowned as I searched for something to do or say to make him feel better but just as I was about to open my mouth the bell rang.

“Well I guess I’ll see you later sweet cheeks” he gave me a small smile that didn’t reach his eyes and headed down the hall to his first class.

Then I realised. “Wait Albi!” he turned to look at me again with his eyebrow raised.

I blushed but caught up to him. “What class do you have?” I asked.

His smirk rose slightly “can’t get enough of me can you?” then he frowned again. “I have english but I’m not going, I have to find Mercy.”

“Oh right, me too but I’ll come with you” I suggested, “she is my sister after all. Is… is she okay? I feel horrible because I haven’t known her growing up. I haven’t been there to comfort her when she was sad or to help her with bitches like the chic you’re talking about in the past. I want to try and be there for her now though, even if she doesn’t want to tell me what happened, that’s okay but I still want to let her know that I’m here if she needs me.”

Albi smiled and nodded, “we’ll go find her together then” he said as he led the way.

“I hope we can. I.. I hope she’s okay.”
