Growing Up | Evansson Twins

Chapter 8

Lizzie, RDJ and Susan had come too when Scarlett called panicking.

"Have you tried to find my friends?" Lizzie asks

"Oh, I didn't think of that 3 hours ago Lizzie!" Scarlett said sarcastically

"No need to be mad at me. I'm just asking" Lizzie said raising her hands in surrender

"God, I just got her back. I don't know if I could handle for the second time losing her" Scarlett said, putting her face in her hands as she sighed in exasperation.

"From what I see since yesterday, that Jessica really screwing with her mind" RDJ commented

"I know. Axel told me this morning. I've got my suspicions about it too yesterday but I thought she'll be okay once she's rested" Scarlett replied

"There are still lots of things you need to learn about her. About them" Lizzie exclaimed

"But you have to trust the process. Once it done, I promise it'll be good" Lizzie added

"Yesterday when I went to check on her to wish her goodnight, she still looks like 2 years old. I really want to crawl in that bed and cuddle with her and say that I'll never leave her again. Awful 13 years of my life were wasted by not being with her and Axel. And I really want to make it up for those 13 years we've lost" Scarlett stated with her teary eyes.

"You'll get your teddy bear back Scarlett. That girl needs you very much from what I've heard these past few days." Susan said

Before anyone could say anything, the front door open and Scarlett rush to there wishing it was Alexa but instead it was Axel and Chris who were looking very worried

"I'm gonna call the police" Scarlett stated as she went running to grab her phone. Everyone is trailing behind her and not making any action to prevent Scarlett even though it's not 24 hours yet but they are very worried because this neighborhood is secure and they couldn't find her.

Scarlett was about to ring the police when Alexa come into the house making everyone turn around quickly to see who it was

"ALEXANDREA RHISLETT WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO?!" Axel said burst into anger as he saw his twin sister for making him worried

Alexa stand in front of them and Axel could see tears forming from her eyes, he immediately softened his face and goes in front of her

"Lex" Axel said cupping her cheeks. Alexa immediately break down into tears, her knees gives out as she sobbing falling down to the floor making Scarlett automatically go in front of her daughter with everyone forming a circle near her

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I don't know why her comment stuck in my mind. It really messes with my brain. I can't get it off my mind. Please make it go away. I don't wanna be a mess like this. I'm sorry I'm not the perfect daughter for you, I'm sorry I'm not the perfect sister for you. But I really want this to work out, I really want this for Axel and I. Trust me, we needed you guys no matter how old we were but what Jessica told me yesterday really caught me off guard. I'm really scared that you'll abandon us again because of me. I don't wanna be the reason why Axel is being abandoned again. I want you guys to be my parent, I want it I swear to god because believe it or not, I want a mother that I could bother when I can't sleep, I want a mother that I could help with at the kitchen, a father that I can play with, talk with and a parent I can pissed off" Alexa said through her sobs.

Everyone just stands there with tears hearing Alexa confess this to them. This is just half of the truth being revealed. But Axel knew that Alexa couldn't keep it to herself anymore and running didn't go out as she planned too.

"Alexa, baby, listen to me. I'll do whatever it takes to have you trusting us back in your life. I won't make the same mistake twice Alexa. I love you and your brother so much. I want my cuddle bear back in my arms too. Believe me when I say this. I broke down every night ever since I gave you both up. Never once you both slipped from my mind. I love you both so, so much that it hurts me knowing I did terrible things giving you both up" Scarlett said kneeling in front of Alexa, cupping her cheeks, wiping the tears away with her thumbs

"You'll have us from now on bubs. I promise that" Chris added as he sides hugged Axel who was crying too when he saw his twin sister break down like this. Axel know this is a big deal because Alexa never the one who showed her emotion to the others including himself

The godparents just stand there watching, wiping their own tears. They hope this is the starting for a new beginning that the twins deserve.

After 5 minutes, Alexa has calmed down and now she is really embarrassed that she just literally breaks down in front of everyone.

"Why don't you go get ready, shower and then come back downstairs? We're gonna eat breakfast together, okay?" Scarlett asks and Alexa just nodded her head agreeing, quickly climbing the stairs and sprint to her room, ashamed of the break down incident.

"She feels embarrassed right now," Axel commented, making everyone chuckle at that.

God, Scarlett and Chris really hope that this will be great after hearing Alexa confession about half of the truth. Hoping this is the new beginning the twins deserve.
