Chapter 45

Tired of all the emotions that had been rolling in my mind after the day's event, I plopped my ass down on my best friend's bed, ready for all the million questions I knew she needed answers to that only I could provide. As if she could read my mind, she sat down beside me almost immediately.
• "How come you said that you have a sister too? Wasn't it just supposed to be a father who surfaced all of a sudden?" She asked me, her eyes fluttering with each of the words she spoke.
• "That was what I thought too, Susie. Until I got to the hospital and I discovered that I suddenly have not just a father but also a sister who has a very sharp tongue," I responded to her questions in a single breath.
