long lost sister

episode 2

"I'm Jace and this is my twin Joshua and that's kai and Liam" jace pointed at everyone.

"Um hi I'm zara Jackson but I guess you new that" I laughed at myself.

"Your not a Jackson zara" Liam said and I frowned at him.

"Your surname is braxton, the people who had you put a fake name on your birth certificate" kai said.

"Oh I guess I'll have to get used to that" I muttered and Joshua past me a glass of water with 2 pills.

"Here take these it will make you feel better" I nodded put the tablets in my mouth and downed my water and handed the glass back.

"eat this to I can imagine you don't eat alot" jace handed me a egg and sausage sandwich.

"Your right I don't and I normally don't eat until afternoon" I said looking from him to the sandwich and back.

"You need to eat it or the pills will make you feel sick" nico said and I sighed and started eating.

"Zara we wanted to ask if you would come and live with us" Joshua asked.

"Where do you live" I said with my hand over my mouth to stop them seeing my mouth full.

"Chicago" Liam muttered.

"We know it's a big step but we thought it be best for you to come and stay with us" jace said.

"That's quite far away what about my job" I frowned.

"It's a couple of hours drive and we can always find you another job or you could work with one of us" Joshua said and I sighed I didn't now what to do this place was always ment to be home to me although it never felt like home the best part about here was my job but they were right I could get a job anywhere.

"Okay ill come but I want to talk to my boss first and I'm sure it more the just a couple of hours" I said and everyone laughed.

"You got them there" nico laughed for where he sat next to me.

"That's fine we will have to stop at your old house to get some of your stuff then we can go to your work" Joshua nodded and I started to panic.

"Why do we have to go back" I said breathlessly.

"There not there they left last night" kai said.

"I went back to make sure they did I watched them leave my self I promise you zara you are safe with us" jace said softly and I nodded and finished my sandwich, 20 minutes later we pulled up out side my old house.

"Here put these on they will help with the light" Liam said and handed me sunglasses I mumbled a thank you and put them on then followed him out the car, I took a deep breath and opened the door and I stopped and listened but didn't hear anything I sighed in relief and went up to my room.

"I don't have a suitcase" I muttered looking around my room and shivered I didn't want to be here after last night.

"We have bags in the car I'll get them for you" kai said and walked back down stairs so I started pulling my clothes out of my chest of drawers and placing them on my bed I didn't have much stuff to take it was embarrassing.

"If you don't mind we are going to take a look around see if they left anything" jace said and him Joshua and nico went into the other room where my fake parents used to sleep just as kai walked back into the room him Liam and me packed the rest of my stuff took us less then 5 minutes.

"Hay don't be embarrassed we can get you anything else that you need you don't need to worry about anything anymore" kai smiled.

"But I don't want anything from you guys you have done enough" I whispered with tears in my eyes no one had ever been so nice other than ryder but he was just trying to sweeten me up for the bomb he dropped on me.

"Well technically its your money you be using mum and dad opened an account for you when you were a baby and they have been putting money in it all these years they always had hope they would find you" Liam smiled.

"Really they want me" I couldn't hold it in anymore I burst out crying and Liam and kai wrapped me inbetween them.

"Of course they do sis and I promise you we want you back to" kai whispered and the 3 of us stayed like that for a couple of minutes until we all pulled back and smiled at each other.

"Hold on I need to get something else" I pushed the single bed to one side and pulled my pocket knife from under the slats on the bed and popped the floor board.

"Za what are you doing" Liam mumbled and I smiled though he couldn't see my mouth and I pulled out a little plastic box from under the floor boards the box was packed full of money that I managed to take out of my tips when we had a busy night in work I couldn't take to much at a time but over the last couple of years I managed to save alot.

"Money that I managed to save from work with out da um that man from finding out" I said and looked over my shoulder at the both of them.

"Smart" kai said with a smile.

"I was trying to save enough up to run anyway I guess I don't need that now that I have you guys" I smiled.

"No you definitely don't but coffee is on you" josh said from the door way he had jace and nico either side of him both smiling at me and I noticed jace had something in his hand.

"What's that" I frowned pointing at the stuff in his hand.

"We will tell you one day what it is sis but not to day please trust us you don't need to see this just yet" josh pleased I was going to argue but I didn't have the energy so I just nodded and we all left the house and got in the car.

"Right now to your work" nico said from the front seat, get this there is 7 seats in the suv its amazing.

"Yeah please what time is it" I asked.

"3 o'clock" Liam said looked at his wrist.

"Okay rex should be there by now they open in a bit" nico nodded and drove to my work I jumped out and they all followed me.

"Do you all really have to come in with me" they all nodded so I sighed and walked in through that staff do with them all at my back.

"Zara your really early" rex frowned.

"Yeah um I wanted to talk to you" I walked over to him.

"I'm guessing your moving with your family" he smiled.

"How do you know that" I frowned.

"Darling 4 of the boys behind you look just like you" rex laughed.

"I said that yesterday" rene shouted from somewhere.

"Are you listening in to our conversation" I laughed and looked around.

"Yep you bet I am" rene laughed popping up from behind the bar with Ross next to her.

"Nause fuckers" I muttered.

"So I'm guessing you come here to quit" rex said.

"I'm sorry rex I have to I can't do my job from Chicago" I sighed.

"Hay it's fine" rex said and patted me on the shoulder.

"Question how come you never said you had brothers" Ross asked.

"That's because I didn't now until yesterday um jace how much of this can I tell them" I asked.

"Everything if you want to" josh answered.

"It turns out I was kidnapped as a toddler and the people I believed to by my parents aint" I sighed looking to the floor.

"Omg they kidnapped you" rene gasped and run over to hug me.

"Actually we don't believe they were the once who kidnapped her we believe they bought her at action" josh said and I gasped at him.

"Omg seriously" Ross gasped and that was news to me but I would talk to them about it later rene pulled away.

"If you need anything you phone me okay" she said with her hands on my shoulders.

"Thank you rene means alot" I smiled said good bye to everyone and we set off for Chicago.

"Um josh I need the toilet" We were know atleast half way to Chicago, the boys had lied to me Chicago was nearly a 2 day drive from la, we had stopped a couple of times to get food and change drivers.

"Okay ill stop at the next services its about a mile or 2 up is that okay" josh said and as I was about to answer I loud ringing noise sounded.

"What the hell is that and why is it so loud" I shouted with my hands over my ears.

"Sorry my phone is connected to the car" jace said and answered and a woman voice reached my ear.

"Sweetheart have you found her yet" a woman's voice come through the car speakers and she sounded tired sad and hopefull all at the same time.

""Yeah mum we got her zara is a bit beaten up but she is fine nico looked her over" jace said to the woman he just called my mum.

"HUNNIE.... HUNNIE COME HERE QUICK THEY FOUND ZARA THEY FOUND OUR BABY GIRL" Mum scream cried at who I'm guessing is my dad since she called him hunnie.

"WHAT THEY FOUND HER IS SHE OKAY" A man's voice shouted back getting closer to the phone.

"Jace said she is a bit beaten but nico looked her over" mum cried trying to answer him.

"Boys we are all so proud of you not only did you find Emily and grace but you also found our baby girl" dad voice sounded strained as if he had a lump in his throat.

"Thank you dad all we ever wanted was the girls home save and sound and now they are we are all finally back together again" Joshua smiling.

"Dad is maya there she gunna wanna now 2" jace asked and a minute later I high pitched voice come through the car snapping me out of my shock at my mum and dad's words and made my cover my ears for a second time.

"Jace josh did you find her, was it even her, are you okay, omg is she okay" she was out of breath but the time she finished with the question.

"Babe your on the car speaks and yes we found her and yes it is definitely her" josh answered.

"And babe catch your breath inbetween question" jace laughed and I was really confused they both just called her babe.

"Sorry I'm just so worried you guys have been talking about her since I can remember" she sighed.

"Um who is that and why dose she keep calling me her or she" I asked with confusion.

"Omg omg I'm maya I'm josh and Jace's girlfriend" she squealed.

"Hi um nice to meet you" I mumbled.

"I like you already, I tell you I'm dating 2 of your brothers and you didn't even say anything" she giggled.

"Well that's not really my place and plus everyone has there way and if that's yours than why should I judge" I shrugged as if she could see me.

"OMG I bloody love you" she squealed louder and I had to cover my ears third time lucky I guess.

"Have you guys got more of those pills my head hurts" I tried to whisper I didn't want maya feeling bad.

"I'm I being loud again sorry I don't really have a filter" maya spoke softer this time.

"It's not you babe zara has a concussion" josh said turning off the road to the services.

"Wait you didn't answer me when I ask if zara was okay I'm guessing she isn't" maya gasped.

"I'm fine just a bump on the head" I mumbled and took the pills and bottle of water from jace.

"Yeah and you a have black and blue face" josh muttered.

"Why is zaras face black and blue" maya gasped again I quickly noticed she was a bit dramatic.

"Do you guys need me to come down" A male voice snapped and it made me shiver in a good way.

"No luca we are on the way back anyway" nico sighed.

"Um who's that" I asked.

"That's my brother luca" nico said.

"Oh um hi" I muttered.

"Hi sweetheart don't worry you will meet us soon" he laughed and his laughter done wired thing to my lady bits.

"Yeah we shouldn't be to long now bro we are just over half way home" nico said, we all said good bye and maya hung up the phone.

"Maya is kind hypo" I said with a smile.

"Yeah you will get used to her after a while she kind rubs of on you" jace smiled back and I could see the love he had for her.

"Yeah well we do all live in the same place after all" kai muttered and I looking at him in question.

"Okay so nico, luca and emilys parents, our parents, brody, maya and Grace's parents were best friends growing up and they all went into business together and become very wealthy so they bought a might as well call it a castle and they split it in to 3 sections they each had a home with alot of bedrooms each and also a cinema room and gym in the basement, a pool house with a sauna and jacuzzi, the house sits on 4 acres of land" by the time kai finished I was sat there staring at him with my mouth wide open.

"Your joking right" I gasped and the boys laughed at me.

"No love we aint" nico laughed and the way he said love made my heart skip a beat and he got out of the car I didn't enough noticed that we had stopped so I go out went to the bathroom and got back in the car.

"Who's turn is it to drive" josh asked and Liam took the keys off him.

"Me" he shouted and ran to the driver seat.

"Okay ill jump in the boot" josh laughed, we all jumped in the car with me in the middle of jace and nico and kai and Liam in the front with josh in the boot and we set off, 2 hours into the drive I was starting to get tired and started falling asleep but my head dropped on nicos shoulder and I shot up again.

"Sorry" I yawned rubbing my eyes.

"It's okay" nico whispered with a soft smile and put his hand on my head and slowly put it on his shoulder with in minutes I was fast asleep.

"Shouldn't you wake them up" I heard before I opened my eyes, that's not a voice I recognise.

"I'm awake" nicos chest vibrated on my head it was only then I noticed that I had my head on nicos chest with my legs over his and my arms around his waist and he had his arm around my back, I felt blood rush to my cheeks and my heart started bounding in my chest.

"Good you lazy f**k you were ment to drive ages ago" jace muttered.

"Then why didn't you wake me" nico mumbled.

"Because we didn't wanna wake zara she is kind sleeping on you" kai said with a small laugh.

"Oh yeah so she is, she must be comfortable" nico said.

"I am comfortable thank you very much now can you shut up I wanna sleep" I mumbled sleepy and turned my head more into nicos firm chest.

"Sweetheart your kind home" Wait that was the voice on the phone earlier, I shot up right and put my hands on nicos chest looking around.

"Hole s**t" I whispered wide eyed looking at the castle type house that went in a u shape with gray bricks.

"I'm guessing you still didn't believe us huh" Liam said with a laugh.

"Um no I figured you guys were nuts or delusional" I shrugged, and nico moved my hands and legs and got out of the car and I jumped out after him still not taking my eyes of the castle.

"Where is my mum and dad" josh asked a boy that looked like nico so I'm guessing that was luca.

"There in your house they don't know your back yet" luca said rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.

"I'll go get them" kai muttered and walked off, 2 minutes later a man with that same light brown hair as mine but with brown eyes come out followed by a woman with chocolate brown hair and my sky blue eyes.

"Zara" the woman cried and moved closer to me but I moved quickly behind nico and fisted his t-shirt by his hips and looked over his shoulder.

"What's wrong zara" josh said coming up by my side and rubbed my back.

"What if they hurt me 2" I whispered tears streaming down my face.

"They would never hurt you za they love you" he whispered back still rubbing my back.

"But they dont know me how can they love me" I asked with a frown.

"Because you are our baby girl we would always love you no matter what" I'm guessing my dad said from behind josh, I slowly moved and stood infont of josh and looked over his shoulder to get a better look the man was tall atleast 6'1 big build and age had been kind to him.

"Who are you" I asked I didn't noticed how much I was shaking god I'm such a baby.

"I'm your dad" the man smiled with love.

"Why don't you go say hello" josh whispered and moved so he was standing behind me.

"Hello my beautiful daughter we been waiting along time to get you back" he opened his arms and I chewed on my nail for a minute and very slowly moved forward until I was standing in front of him and he wrapped his arms around me, I felt so awkward but also felt like home.

"I promise you we will never hurt you, we have missed you so much" I could tell by his voice he was crying, so I wrapped my arms around him, then I felt someone hug us both looked up and seen my real mum so I wrapped my arms around them both as they cried I knew they needed this more then me.

"How about we show zara her room so she can settle in" Liam said from behind us I give him a smile and nodded.

It felt like a dream walking through this massive house its was beautiful and modern, we got to my room and I had a big king size bed, a dressing table, walk in wardrobe and a private bathroom, the colours are white purple and I bit of pink give the room a calm feeling.

"I got you some clothes and makeup I hope you don't mind I guessed your size" my real mum smiled.

"Thank you" I give her a smile.

"OMG OMG is she here" I hear someone squeal and my guess was maya.

"You are beautiful you look so much like your brothers" maya said running into the room.

"What happened to your face" maya frowned.

"Got punched" I muttered and she gasped and put her hands over her mouth, I got to say this girl is gorgeous, long black hair, green eyes and was about my height.

"Your a bit dramatic ain't you" I give a small giggle and everyone laughed.

"You have no idea" I turned and seen a boy that looked like maya and grace black hair green eyes but he was about 6 foot.

"I'm Brody maya and graces brother and kai's best friend" he held his hand out and I shook it.

"Zara" I muttered with a smile.

"You have to come out with us soon" maya begged.

"What do you mean" I asked with a frown.

"Me grace and Emily are going out drinking soon come with us" she begged grabbing my hands and jumping up and down.

"I don't know" I said looking around.

"I think it be good for you hun get to know the girls some friends be good for you and you get to see where you live know" mum smiled so I give in and nodded.

"Are you hungry" my real dad asked.

"No I'm okay I had food on the way here" I said.

"That was ages ago za have some food" josh said from the door.

"It's already been made anyway" my real dad smiled so I nodded.

"We will let you put your stuff away meet us down stairs when your ready" mum and dad walked out leaving me with maya brody and josh, maya jumped into his arms giving him a hug and a kiss, I left them to it got my bag and put it on the floor in the walk in wardrobe, and sat down on the sofa, yeah you hear me there is a 2 seater sofa in my room.

"Hay are you okay" brody asked sitting next to me.

"Yeah just overwhelming" I muttered and ran my hands though my hairs.

"You know I remember josh and jace talking about you when we were kids they remember when you was a baby never stopped asking your parents if they found you for years and your mum said at one point they had to stop them going out because they would ask strangers if they had seen you and I for one am happy my best friend got his sister back" he smiled.

"I just don't know how much of me they got back, I don't want to be a disappointment to everyone, I lose alot of myself over the years but then again I don't really know if I ever had myself" I sighed.

"You could never be a disappointment zara please don't think that we are just great full to have you back" josh said from the door walked over and pulling me into a hug and I hugged him back, I had to admit it felt right being here with everyone it really felt like home for the first time in my life.

"Come on let's go for food" josh pulled away and held out his hand I grabbed it and he pulled me up from the sofa and we all went down starts, the first thing I was meet with was noise they house was buzzing with energy.

"Oh zara this is luca nicos and Emily's mum and dad mason and ava, this is brody, maya and graces mum and dad Christian and layla" mum rushed out.

"Um hello I dont now if I'm going to remember your names though" I give a small smile.

"That's fine don't worry there is plenty of time to get to know us all" if I'm right that was mason, I give him a smile.

"Oh this is Emily and grace" maya squealed.

"Ahh my god she looks just like you guys" suddenly there were 2 girls in front of me looking at me from head to toe, the one they called Grace had black hair and green eyes my height and Emily had blond hair with blue eyes again my height.

"Hi" I frowned.

"Oh god sorry im emily it's nice to meet you" Emily shook my hand.

"Hi I'm grace" grace shook my hand as well.

"Zara is coming out with us tomorrow" maya clapped.

"Really" grace gasped smiling.

"Hell yes" Emily shouted throwing her hands on the air, and I laughed.

"Yeah my um.. my mum thinks it be good for me" I said with a deep breath that felt wiredly right to say, god iv only know her 5 minutes what is wrong with me.

"Good I can't wait to go out this is going to be fun" grace smiled and we all took our seats to eat, I couldn't even get half of my food down I'm not used to eating this much.

"if your full it's okay you don't have to eat it" dad smiled.

"Thank you it's just I don't normally eat this much between the car ride and this it's just alot for my belly to handle if you guys don't mind I think ill head up to bed I'm kinda tired" I muttered I didn't want to be a pain and make them hate me.

"That's fine hun get some sleep we will see you in the morning" mum smiled and I went to my room, pulled my headphones and my phone out of my bag and played fight song and started singing.

"Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion" I got dressed in to new pj's while I sang, I always loved this song it always helped me get through life, reminded me I could do it, after getting dressed I lead in bed, a couple seconds later I felt the bed dip next to me and I jumped.

"Sorry its just me" Liam muttered after taking my headphone out.

"Your a good singer" he smiled and I blushed.

"I'm not but I still like it" I said shyly.

"Well I think your voice is amazing" he smiled.

"Thank you" I smiled back.

"I just come in to say my room is across the Hall if you need anything come wake me up" he said and left the room.

"Are you okay" I hear 10 minutes later from my door I looked up and seen grace.

"Hay yeah I'm okay just alot to take in" I smiled and she come to sit on my bed.

"I can imagine that's why I wanted to check on you" she said.

"Well 4 days ago I had no idea that I had 4 brothers and know I have 4 brothers and a mother and father who love me I'm happy that they found me" I sighed.

"No one has told you have they" she said with a small sigh herself.

"Told me what" I frowned.

"Your mum was one of the rare people to have 2 sets of twins Liam is your twin" she frowned and I gasped.

"Omg really" I asked mouth wide open.

"Yeah he took it the hardest when you were taken well that's what my mum told me" she said.

"You weren't the only one taken either I was 4 but the police found me 3 years later tied up in a drug house down town

emily and maya were taken to but its up to them to tell you there story" she took a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry I know how hard it is" I said putting my hand on hers.

"It's okay I wasn't gone as long as you but I just wanted you to know that I'm here and you can talk to me" she smiled.

"Thank you it means alot" I smiled back and she left the room.

I can't believe I have a twin that's insane, I got up took my headphones off and walked to Liam door I stood there for a minute before I knocked.

"Come in" Liam shouted through the door i took a deep breath and walked in shutting the door behind me and lead next to him on the bed, we laid there in silence for 5 minutes.

"Why didn't you tell me" I whispered.

"You been through so much zara I just didn't want to overwhelm you more" he whispered.

"I wish you would have told me Liam having brothers is on thing but having a twin is special" I whispered.

"I'm sorry I just I don't know maybe I was scared" he looked me right in the eye and I knew maybe wasn't a part of it.

"it's okay to be scared Liam but I'm glad that I know now, do you mind if I stay in here tonight" I asked and he nodded and grabbed my hand and I squeezed his hand and didn't let go.

"I remember you when we was kids I only have one memory but it was a memory I have cherished for so long of us in the swimming pool with mum and dad and our brothers were trying to teach us how to swim took them hours to try and teach us but it didn't work in the end dad put arm bands on us and put us in the pool with the rest the boys after about an hour we manged to do it on our own with out our mum and dad standing by us we were both so happy then the next thing I remember is you being gone and I was so sad and angry I didn't understand what happened I was to young" Liam whispered and started sniffling.

"I think I remember that I always thought it was my mind playing tricks on me I remember a little boy falling by the side the pool and falling in fully clothed" I frowned.

"That was nico" Liam laughed and pulled me closer to him so I could rest me head on his shoulder.

"night twiny" I whispered.

"night twiny" Liam whispered back.
