PIXIES P.O.V

We woke up at 4:00am because I had a text.
ANNA IS IN HOSPITAL U MONSTER!
From Noah.
WORTH WAKING ME UP 4? NO!!!
I replied switching it to silent. We went back to sleep for a couple of hours until the sun rose.I decided that today I would make pancakes. I walked downstairs and found a social worker chatting to Mrs Daverson.
"Pixie?" Asked the social worker. I nodded.
"She wants to talk to you... In private!" Mrs Daverson said looking at her son.
"Why?" I asked trooping into the kitchen.
"Who's your father?" She asked me.
"Peter Sandings," I whispered.
"Well... Not quite," she replied.
"What?" I asked.
"Your father is Jake Sandings. Peters twin. He lives in New York, Pixie," she said.
"Why are you actually here?"
"Anna... You hit her and left her for, possibly, dead. Why? Why would you do it to your own sister?"
"Sister? No way! I'm her Auntie! Lauren was raped and had Anna when she was 2-3, she's my niece!"
"Oh. Well why would you do it to your niece?"
"I hate her! She not even da- Peters daughter but she was always everyone's favourite! I started to get rebellious when Anna got presents for good behaviour and I didn't. Now I am who I am... I doubt I'd be here if it wasn't for Anna. I know I wouldn't be right here..."
"Thankyou Pixie," she smiled handing me a picture of Jake. A tear welled up in the corner of my eye. The told us Anna's mum but not my dad? Fair? No! I followed the lady out of the kitchen and I locked the front door behind her.
"How did it go sweetie?" Mrs Daverson asked as I walked into the living room.
"Peter isn't my dad," I whispered.
"Who is?" Charley asked.
"His twin brother, Jake," I said letting them see the picture.
"Oh my, that came as a shock to the system I suspect!" Charley's mum said as she walked of to make pancakes. I put the picture in my dressing gown pocket and flopped on the sofa . My phone rang. Noah. I pressed decline. Noah again! Decline! I got up and was about to get a pancake when he rang for a 3 time! Answer I pressed.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi, look I was kinda harsh on you last night. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be lying in this hospital bed! Anyway, dad says he really sorry for hitting you," Noah burbled.
"Tell Peter that he's not my father! And tell mum that she knows what I'm talking about! I can't believe her!"
"What? But we look so similar!"
"Yeah I know. When mum ditched Lola, Peter, dad and you to be a lesbian with 'Angel' they moved to New York. When there Angel cheated on mum so mum moved on and found a guy called Jake. She knew she remembered him from somewhere but didn't know where. So they fell in love got pregnant with me and got married. That was where mum found out it was Jake Sandings. Then she moved back over here and had me on the plane back," I said.
"Ok, nurse coming gotta go lil pix," he said. I whispered by and finished off in the bathroom. The sun was shining brightly so I put on a little black dress. I put my eyeliner on carefully and plodded down stairs. Charley lifted me from the 3rd step and carried me to the sofa. We kissed and I went to get a pancake. I took my plate into the lounge and saw Mrs Daverson looking at the mail.
"Bill, bill, bill, school, Grandma and- wait. Pixie? She didn't live here till the other day!" She exclaimed.
"Erm Mrs Daverson? Did you say lived?" I asked.
"Yes love and call me Mandy," she smiled handing me the letter.
WERE SINCERELY SORRY PIXIE, LOVE. PLEASE COME BACK! WE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD BE HERE... NOAH TOLD US WHAT THE SOCIAL WORKER SAID AND IM REALLY SORRY. I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD HANDLE THE NEWS YET. PlEASE COME BACK SWEETIE. LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE, MUM AND DAD X
It read. I tore letter into a million pieces. I grabbed Charley hand and we ran to the little local park, just down the road. I opened the gate and walked in. There I saw...
