I wish that the good outweighed the bad.
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I’m the only one that's trying to keep us together
I wish that I could stop loving you so much

DON'T LOOK
LIKE
THEY'RE FADING,
ever going away,
they ain't
EVER GOIN'
TO CHANGE.

Chapter 26
Liam's P.O.V.
Ruby… adopted? And just now she finds out about this?
Well that’s a bit stressful!
“Ruby, I-“
“I’m going to my sister’s.”
“You have a sister?”
“Yeah. Franchesca Croft. Newsgirl…?”
“Oh, yeah! Franchesca!”
“I’m off.”
So she goes out the trailer.
“I’d just leave her be.” Says Alaska. “If she’s not back by 2:00, then we go look for her.”
“Really?”
“Yep.”
Ruby’s P.O.V.
Walking to my sister’s, just around the block, I get an incoming call from Chad.
“Hey, baby.”
“Hey. Um, listen, I just found out-“
“I have BIG NEWS! I won the skateboarding tournament!”
“Um, that’s great, but-“
“I won it even though I almost fell off. I have heeeeeaps of Skill.”
“Chad! Listen!”
“Okay, babe, gotz to go.”
And just like that the phone call ended. He's just hyper about his win. He'll pay attention later.
So I walk down my sister’s cobblestone path, up to her brick house and marron door.
I ring the doorbell.
Is… is that my sister?
She’s pwetty!
“Ruby! Good to see you!”
“Yes, it is good to see you.”
“Oh ruby. There’s something wrong is’nt there?”
“Yes. I just found out I was adopted.”
“I found that out when I was your age. I know exactly how you feel.”
"So we're not related."
"We are - we were adopted from the same family."
At least there's some family here.
Incoming text from Liam,
I collapse on her shoulder, crying.
“And just when my career begins to take off.”
