Today, 15 years later...

I woke up on a normal school morning, like everyday. It was 7.30 Am and in 30 minutes school starts. I stood up and walked to Lunas bed. We share a room together, because this house doesn't have any more rooms left. But we never wanted to stay separated from each other so we didn't really mind.
I carefully shake Lunas shoulder. She growled.
,,Luna wake up" I whispered. She's definitely no morning person.
She slowly sat up but her eyes are still closed.
Nevermind. I give her 10 minutes to completely be awake.

So I made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
,,Where's Luna?" Amilia was standing in the kitchen, already waiting for her with crossed arms.
I rolled my eyes.

,,Don't say she's still asleep! This lazy little...."
She wanted to walk out of the kitchen, to Lunas direction.
I grabbed her arm harshly.
,,She'll come down soon."
Amilia slapped me in the face.
,,You dare touch me like that again!"

I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. When we were kids, Amilia was always nice to us.
But when we turned 9 years, she became slowly more aggressive and more mean to us. She said we look exactly like our mom. That was also the time, where they started making less money and uncle Stan lost his job. So they quite live a shitty life now. And Luna and me too.

Sometimes I wish I'd have a nice mom, like the other girls we know from school. Their mom's are like their best friends, they go shopping, or... like always spend time together.

Amilia never really had time for us. And she wasn't even our mom. When we were little, she always told us storys before bed time, how our mother didn't want us anymore and how kind-hearted it was from Amilia, to take us. Because if not, we'd land in the dump.

And now she treats us like trash.

For me it doesn't matter if she hits me or treats me like shit, but I'll kill her if she ever lays a hand on Luna.

She hadn't the courage yet to lay a hand on her, because she must know from my eyes that I'd kill her.
But with me she's doing whatever she wants. And I let her. Because this is the only thing I can do for Luna.

,,You can stay here, I'll wake her up" I say to Amilia and went upstairs.

,,When I entered our room, Luna was already awake and she even had her clothes on. She's wearing her only pair of shoes, just white sneakers, and jeans with a white shirt. Her beautiful long caramel colored hair was in a ponytail. She's gorgeous.

,,Luna let's buy something to eat at our way to school."
,,Oh ok, why not just eat here?"
,,Do not feel like it" I answered.

I put on my clothes and shoes. I'm wearing loose black trousers and a black hoodie.
Luna and I grabbed our backpacks and made our way out of the house.

I'm glad we didn't meet Amilia on the way.

Don't have the head to deal with her this early in the morning again.

—
When we reached our small, and the only Highschool in this village, we made our way to the classroom.
I already planned our day in my head.

First: Finish school

Second: Walk to the coffee

Third: Work

Forth: Walk home and lie to our aunt that we were in school till evening because she doesn't know we work at a part time job. Cause if so, she'd want our money.

When we entered the classroom, Mr. Flannel already was there. But luckily he didn't start the lesson yet. So it doesn't count as coming late.

,,Stefanie, Luna, You're late"

Whatever...

We sat down to our seats and the lesson starts.
15 minutes later everyone's attention went to the announcement from the school speakers.

,,Stefanie Levanto and Luna Levanto, please make your way to the secretary. Now. Thank you."

Surprised I glanced over to Luna and she's just shaking her head, to show that she also doesn't know what's going on.

Did we do any trouble?

In our backs we already hear whispering from our classmates.

,,Everyone, Silent!" Mr. Flannel said.
,,And Luna and Stefanie, you can go now. You're free from this lesson."

Everyone was watching us while we pack our bags and silently went out of the classroom.

,,Stefa Stefa this is so exciting!" Luna began jumping around.
,,We were never called over the speaker!"

When we reached the secretariat, Mrs. Rose, our Tutor, was already waiting for us.
I took Lunas hand in mine. The look on Mrs. Rose's face is quite serious. I think I'm won't like what she has to say.

,,Stefa, Luna, I'm sorry for what I'll say now. I thought very long about how to approach you this, but I'll just go straight. Your aunt and uncle were in an car accident.''

I squeezed Lunas hand. Woah. That's a bomb message.
,,How are they?" Luna asks with a quiete voice, which was nearly a whisper. She looks down to her feet.

,,They couldn't made it. They're both dead. Nobody could've survive this kinda crash."

I sighed. This is it. No we're homeless. Ha.

But weirdly it doesn't hurt or something. I'm not happy either. I'm just...surprised I think. Luna is probably sad.
I look Mrs. Rose in the face.

,,What will happen with us now? We're not even 18 yet" I asked with a normal tone.

,,Your mother is here to take you both."

MOTHER?!

Mrs. Rose points with her finger to our left side.

There was sitting the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. And she looks exactly like Luna. I must look like our dad then. Cause even if we're twins, we don't look alike.

The beautiful woman was crying, her whole face was full of tears.

I glanced over to Luna. She had her hand on her mouth and tries to suppress her shock and tears.

I already hate this woman. She abandoned us. Why did she do that? Why's she coming only now? Why did she do that to us.

My chest began to hurt and I was filled with anger.

But...why do I feel so loved when I look this woman in her eyes. Her tears must come deeply from her heart.

Next to her was sitting a boy. He looks like in his middle twenties and he was so too handsome to be real. He had dark brown hair and is wearing a black suit. He has a rough face, but his eyebrows are kinked and his eyes are glowing. Like the eyes of a dog. He might start crying soon too.

,,Mom?" Luna started crying.

Why's she already calling her mom? She knows what she had done to us.

The beautiful woman stands up and sniffles.

,,Luna! It's really you" she burst out crying again.

Then she looks at me. ,,And you're Stefanie" She cries and laughs at the same time now.
,,Can I hug you two?" She smiles hopefully at us. And you can see she's nervous too to see us.

She stepped toward us and spread her arms.

,,I didn't say you could touch us!" I said.

Everyone stopped moving.

For a while it was just silence, before Mrs. Rose break it.
,,St-Stefanie she's your mom" she tries to calm me.
,,She's not our mom. She never was here for us. A mom is someone who takes care of you, who goes shopping with you, who loves you, who raises you. She's not my mom."

Luna clinged on my arm. I wish I could know what she's thinking right now.
