(sophias pov)
As I write in my journal I think to myself why me?
Why me, I feel as if the world is ready to come crashing down EVEN MORE THAN IT ALREADY HAS! ugh I feel like crap. Why does my father think he can just come back into my life after 10 years and think he can just introduce me to my brother. I'm so angry but i have so many questions - sophia
So i decide to do something I haven't done in forever. I call my uncle gordon
"hello?" he asks
"hey, it sophia your niece" I say
" hello love, how are you?" he asks
" could be better" I say honestly
" I'm sorry I know whats happening and I'm sure you have some questions" he says
"we are talking about my father right? not girly stuff" I laugh, god,I haven't laughed in a while well since ty left.
" oh.. right yea" he laughed
" but I also know about that to so what questions do you have?" he asks
" well umm is Thomas my half brother?" I ask
" No he is your real brother your parents spilt up and your father took him and your mother took you" he says to me
"Ok and you might not be able to answer this but.. why?" I ask
" why what?" he asks me
" WHY NOW WHY WOULD HE DECIDE ALL OF THE SUDDEN TO COME BACK INTO MY LIFE? I'm sorry I wasn't yelling at you I'm sorry" I apologized
" no, no don't apologize this is good" he says. He is a therapist.
" Ok so your father called me two days ago crying saying that he "missed his little girl" so I said do as you feel but be nice" he continued
" so he got on a plane with Thomas and left"
"okay, i think i have an idea" I say
" what is it?" he asks me
" I'm going to talk to.." i try to say but he cuts me off
" YOUR DAD?" he says
" No i will not be talking to Derik for a long time" i say
" so your not calling him dad" he questions
"god no! why should i? he left me when i was 6!" I state clearly
" As I was saying I am going to talk to Thomas" I said
" Sounds like a wonderful idea love, I love you and miss you so much!! see you at christmas" he said.
and we hung up.
So i walk downstairs and ask to talk with Thomas without even looking at Derik. So we go to the coffee shop downtown to talk.
We talk about everything how we grew up , our lives, our friends, it feels so good to have a sibling.
( two hours later)
As we walk back into the house I see my mom and Derik talking in the kitchen
come and sit you two" my mom says sternly so we sat down
"okay so I need to start this clearly because everyone is just staring at each other and sophia you look like you want to kill your dad" my mom says in my head I'm thinking your not my dad
. " so Thomas you and your dad are leaving in two days" my mother said
"And sophia you are going with us" Derik cuts my mother off
"WHAT!!!" I yell
