Never will I forget the day I met Shelly. It was raining and I was running. Running from the shadows. "Don't look back" was the last thing my mother told me before she disappeared, I didn't k ow what it meant but that day I did . As I ran through the narrow alleyways, desperately trying to find a place to hide but anyone I asked for help turned away . It was the fifth day of running when i chose to stop but at that point the someone hold out their hand for me to hold, that was the day Shelly came into my life and I decided not to look back.
"Hey!" She yelled
"What are you thinking about so deeply " she added
I smiled before standing up to hug her
"What's going on " she chuckled
"I'm just grateful for you" I said
" you're doing that love bombing thing again "
"Love bombing?" I raised an eyebrow
" oh you know when you suddenly start showering me with love and shit"
"okay.. is that a problem " I asked
" people do that when they are about to leave "
"And what makes you think I'm people" I said as I raised my arms to cross them
" im not saying you are" she chuckled
"Hm"
"And where'd you get that from" I questioned
" we'll you know that TikTok thing—"
" you need to stop believing what you see on there" I cut her off
" what, most of the things on there are true "
" yh sure " as I finished my sentence I saw a car heading towards our direction
It parked and a girl came out .
"Are you daisy" she asked
" yes that's me , what can I do for you "
"Uhm well , I'm your sister "
"What do to mean sister " I scoffed
" I dont have a sister or intact any family " I added
" I know you might not believe this but our mom is dead"
" yh" I bursted into laughter
" MY mom's been dead for years "
" no she wasn't , she died last month, I can prove I—"
"Looky here girl, I don't know if you think you can just come up to my home and start telling me shit and expect me to believe it cause you came to the wrong person "
She sighed before pulling out her phone and showing it to me
" that's mom "
I grabbed the phone and it really was
" where'd you get this picture "
"I've told you , I'm your sister "
"How" I said
"I don't know "
"I mean I didn't even know you existed till last week at mom's funeral " she added
" hm even if there was a slight chance we could be related, why's you come look for me"
"Well l" she said as she looked around
" I saw some papers about some stuff about you, I couldn't put pen to paper so I decided if anyone could understand it would be you"
She checked her watch before saying
" I know you don't believe me or trust me but if you want to see it here's my address " she handed me a paper
" and also In mom's will she said something that no one understood, something about-"
She leaned in a whispered something and at that point I knew that she wasn't lying.
