Your POV
It's been a few weeks since Lindsey threw me my surprise party, and things couldn't be better. Camila, Sofi and I have been hanging out without our parents knowing, obviously and Lindsey and I are great. We just finished shooting scenes for The 100 last week. It premieres in a couple weeks. Recently I've started looking for a job related to my computer degree. I love acting but computers are my strong suit.
"Hey babe, have you seen my phone?" I hear Lindsey call from our room. I'm currently sitting in the living room searching for jobs on my laptop. I take a quick glance around the room and see it on the coffee table. "Yea! It's in here on the table." I call going back to my laptop. I hear her footsteps come down the stairs and over towards me. "Thanks, babe," she says kissing my cheek and taking a seat next to me on the couch. She turns the TV on and leans her head on my shoulder as she scrolls through Twitter.
"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Lindsey asks after a few minutes of silence. I stop typing and look down at her confused. "What do you mean?" I ask putting my laptop to the side and turning to face her, causing her to move her head.
"Like do you see yourself married in the future? Like with kids and a house and a job?" She asks playing with her fingers. I sit and think for a minute before taking her hands into my own. "Of course I have. I just never realized that that future was right in front of me." I smile at her, she looks at me confused. "What do you mean?" I chuckle rubbing the back of her hands with my thumbs.
"You. I see all of that with you. I see us married with a kid or two. I see us in a nice house, or apartment. Both of us have jobs, me writing or doing some computer job, you still acting. I see us both still as in love with each other as we are now. Well maybe a little more in love but, oh well." I shrug causing her to giggle and let go of my hands wrapping her arms around my neck. I wrap mine around her waist and pull her into my lap so she's straddling me.
"I feel the exact same. God, I love you." She whispers so low I wouldn't have heard if she wasn't by my ear. "I love you too Princess," I say holding her against me. We stay like that for a while before I eventually bring us both upstairs for bed.

"Are you really about to do this Monkey?" Camila asks me. It's been two weeks since Lindsey and I's talk about marriage and it made me put my plans into motion. "Yup, I am Shadow and I'm having no regrets. Nerves? Yes. Regrets? Hell no. Besides, I know Lindsey is the one for me. Veronica was an obstacle in the way of my finish line that I've finally reached." I say looking down at her playing with the box in my hands.
"So, where is Linds now?" She asks as I continue walking around the venue with her. We are currently at her concert venue for the show in L.A. She asked me to come to see her as soon as I told her what I was planning.
"Shit, Y/n, hide!" Camila whisper yells pulling me into an empty dressing room as we see our parents start walking towards us. I sigh and shake my head holding her back. "I need to talk to them sooner or later Shadow. As much as I want to I can't ignore them forever, even if they were assholes to me." I say, she looks at me sadly before nodding her head and squeezing my hand. I nod in return and take a deep breath before following her out into the hallway where we run into them.
"Karla, what are you doing with her?" Sinu asked, Camila, squeezed my hand and moved closer to me, looking at our parents. "Spending time with my sister." She said firmly, I smiled at how she's sticking up for me when she was just nervous for me to even be seen by them.
"But your sister is in your dressing room, this isn't your sister," Alejandro says disgusted, eyeing me. I take a deep breath to try and calm myself only to realize I wasn't the one I should calm down.
"REALLY? SHE IS STILL YOUR CHILD. LIKE IT OR NOT YOU GAVE BIRTH TO HER," she exclaims pointing at Sinu, "AND YOU WERE HALF OF THE REASON SHE IS EVEN HERE," she says pointing at Alejandro this time. "SHE IS YOUR BLOOD AND SHE IS MINE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER SHE IS MY BIG SISTER AND IF I WANT HER TO BE HERE AT MY SHOW FOR ME SHE WILL BE. I love her, she is my blood and if there's one thing I know it's that you don't turn your back on family." I smile down at her and pull her into my arms.
"Thank you, Shadow," I whisper into her hair and kiss her temple. She smiles into my neck and squeezes me a little before pulling away slightly, "Of course. Like I've said you're my big sister. If you're hurt so am I. We stick together. We're one and the same." She says with a big cheesy smile on her face. I laugh and pull her back into me.
We part as we hear someone clearing their throat. Shit, I forgot about them.
"I-Is that how you really feel mija?" Sinu asks tears in her eyes. Camila nods, taking my hand in hers again. "Well, than Sinu go and get Sofia, we're leaving. If Karla wants to associate herself with such abominations then she may, but we'll have no part in it." Alejandro says. I hear Camila gasp and look to see her with tears in her eyes. I look back up with a fierce glare on the man. Sinu shakes her head taking a couple steps away from him.
"No," she says, continuing to back away from him, "I've let you control me too much. Camila is our daughter and I'm not losing her because you can't accept the fact that she and Y/n want to have a relationship. Y/n may not be your daughter but she sure as hell is mine. Yea, she may have come from a mistake, but that mistake created a beautiful child I never got to love because of you and I'm not letting you keep me from her anymore." Sinu says crying, she turns and walks away from us leaving Alejandro, Camila, and I. Who are all in a state of shock.
"What was she talking about? You're not my father? Camila and Sofia are only my half siblings?? What the hell is going on?" I whisper at the end, walking away from Camila a little bit and covering my face with my hands. I let out a deep sigh and look back up to see Alejandro gone, and Camila with silent tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Hey, it's okay," I say taking her into my arms once again. Her last wall breaks and before I know it she's full on sobbing into my neck. I continue to try and console her, rubbing up and down her back.
For a good 5 minutes, we stand there in the hallway with her crying into my shoulder and me trying to calm her down. Once, she finally calms down we pull away. I cup her face in my hands and wipe away her tears with my thumbs. She grabs ahold of my wrists and rubs her thumbs along them.
"Thank you," She says, I smile and shake my head, "You don't have to thank me. I'd have done this regardless. You're still my sister no matter what and I'll always be there for you, no matter the time." She smiles and pulls me into her again, "I love you,"
"I love you too Shadow," She pulls away looking me in the eyes. "You're amazing, you just found out you don't know your dad but you're comforting me, when I should be comforting you," I let out a dry laugh taking her hand and leading us to her dressing room.
"Honestly?" I question, she nods. "I knew he wasn't my dad," I confess, she looks at me confused," What do you mean you knew? You acted just as shocked as the I did when he said it," I sigh, "I honestly don't even know why I reacted that way. I guess hearing it and suspecting it is really two different things."
"Wait what do you mean hearing it?" She asks I sigh before explaining.
~~~~~~ Flash Back ~~~~~~
It was the same day Camila was auditioning for X Factor, Camila was talking with Sofi and I was standing next to Camila looking around, our parents were behind us talking.
"How could you let her come Sinu? I told you she is not to be around Karla and Sofia." I hear my dad whisper-yell, I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Because she is here to support her sister, Karla wanted her here so she came to support her," Mom explains back quietly, "HALF sister," he whisper-yells, "She is a reminder of that night and you know it. I don't know how you're so okay with her being around, she is a constant reminder that you cheated. Yes I was happy at first because we were finally having a kid after so long but that's not the way I wanted us to have our first child. Karla is and will always be my first kid. Not that disgrace you want to call your daughter," he turns and walks away, where? I have no idea and frankly don't care. I quietly gasp as the words finally sink in.
Wait, so that's why Alejandro never talks to me. I'm not his kid, I'm only Camila and Sofi's half-sister. This makes everything begin to fall into place.
~~~~~~ End Flash Back ~~~~~~
"So, you've known all this time?!?" She exclaims shocked. I nod, suddenly finding my shoes interesting. She puts her finger under my chin lifting my head up till I'm looking her in the eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?" I shrug, "You had your own stuff going on and I didn't want to bother you. Besides I never got the chance to be alone with you. Alejandro was always around and I didn't wanna lose you more than I had already," I say fighting back the tears.
"Oh Y/n," She whispers pulling me into her arms. My walls break and I nuzzle my head into her shoulder as I finally let out all the tears I've been holding back. She continues to just hold me in silence letting me cry it out, kissing my head every few seconds.
A couple minutes later we part, "You feeling okay now?" she asks cupping my face in her hands, her thumbs wiping away the tears. I nod sniffling, my hands coming up to her wrists, thumbs moving across them. I close my eyes and lean into her touch willing myself to calm down. "Thank you, Shadow," I say finally opening my eyes. She nods, giving me a sad smile.
"Of course, no matter what you're still my big sister and I'll always be here for you," I smile and pull her into me once more.
"Okay, enough mushy shit. You got a show to do, straight girls to turn gay, and gay guys to turn straight." She laughs and slaps my shoulder lghtly before taking my and and leading me into her dressing room.

It's about halfway through the show. Alejandro must have stuck to his word because once we went in her dressing room any sign of him or Sofi was gone. Camila was hurt and upset but put it behind her considering all he's done to us as a family and how he's treated me. If he wants to act like this then so be it.
I'm watching Camila from side stage, nodding my head along to the beat of Into It. Just as the song ends I hear someone clear their throat next to me. I look and my eyes widen when I see who it is.
"Can we talk?"
