My name is Hope Anderson today is my first day of college. Today I hope the day goes well and I make friends. I am happy to learn how to do what I love and that is helping others. I went to my dorm room and found out I have a roommate. Her name is Danielle Parker. She seems nice but I do not want to talk too soon some people switch to being bitchy and I do not know if she is like that.

Hi, my name is Hope Anderson. what is your name? Hi, my name is Danielle Parker it is nice to meet you, Hope. Nice to meet you too Danielle. Hey, do you need help unpacking? Yes, thank you for helping me unpack. Would you like to come with me to meet the others? Um sure I am scared they might not like me. Hope they would love you just be yourself okay? Okay, what are their names? I will let them tell you.

Hello, my loves. Hi Danielle, who is that you got with you? Everyone, this is my new favorite best friend Hope Anderson. Hope these lovely folks are my friends and those 2 over there are my twin brothers. Hi, hope I am David and this is my sister Amy Nice to meet you. Hi, my name is Chris, and this is my girlfriend Shay. Nice to meet you. Hi, my name is Bryan, and this is my twin brother Brent we are Danielle's twin Brothers. Nice to meet you all. Thank you for having me.

As you know my name is Hope Anderson, I have a twin brother named Sean Anderson. When can we meet him? He does not go to this school, but he will be coming to visit this summer. Awesome, can we meet him then? I must ask him. I am quite sure he would love to meet you all. My phone started ringing. I looked to see who was calling it was Sean. Hey Sean, how are you doing today? Hey, my beautiful sister, I am good I cannot wait to see you this weekend.

Me too I have some friends that want to meet you. is that so? They are nice to you Hope. Yes, they are being nice, you will see when you come bro. How is the class going? Good, I got to work with kids that are special needs. They were so cute. That is awesome hope I am so proud of you. How's mom doing? Mom is doing okay. She is just working so hard that I think she needs a break from work. I know Sean hopefully the hospital let on a good long vacation time. Yeah, she deserves it more than anything.

I cannot wait to see you bro give mom a hug and kiss for me. I will see you soon sis. After I got off the phone with my brother I went to get into the shower and then got ready to leave for class. Hey Danielle, hey Hope how are you doing today? I am good, what class do you have? I have math and history.

Same here but first let us go eat. I need my caffeine and food for me, me too. We went to the cafe down the street and we saw Bryan and Brent. Hey Brent, hi Bryan. Hey girls, what are you up to today? Nothing much class then work at the daycare. Nice. Hope your brother is still coming this weekend, right? Yes, he is why? Well, guys want to get together and hang out with him and get to know him. I let him know.

Okay, have a good day girls you too. I and Danielle sat down and ate our food and drank our coffees and paid the bill. Now on to class. When we got to class there were two guys, they were good-looking, but they were mean. Danielle told me to keep walking but there was a girl and she was special. I went to help her out.

Hey, leave her alone. Why don't you mind your business? She is my business now leave her alone what are you going to do about it if I do not? I will kick your ass. Hmm, I doubt that sweetie. 

I am not your sweetie so do not me that. Leave her alone and we will leave. What if I do not. Then he cornered me with his friends. They beat me black and blue and the girl ran for help. This was where my life changed. I lay in my blood barely could not move. I heard voices hope stay with me. I am sorry and everything went dark.

I must let her brother know. I called Hope's brother, hello Sean Anderson this is Hope's friend Danielle I am sorry to tell you this, but your sister got brutally beaten by guys at school today she is on her way to the hospital.

Thank you for letting me know me and our mom will be there asap. Okay bye. Mom we must go, Hope is in the hospital. What happened? Hope was helping a special needs girl and got jumped by the guys that she saved the girl from. hope saved helped hope and ran for help. Hope friend Danielle just called them on the way to the hospital as we speak. Mom she is going to be okay. She will pull through this and she will come home and do online classes to finish college. She is not going to be the same girl anymore.

This will change her life, not in a good way. My baby girl's shine has been broken. I will go to her school and kick the guy's ass that did this to my sister. She did not deserve this at all. We made it to the hospital mom, and I was greeted by a girl. Hi, I am Danielle please follow me they just pulled in with hope I am so sorry I tried to help her the best I could do. Thank you, Danielle. Hey Danielle, can you please take to the guys that did this? Yeah, follow me they are at the same spot they beat her at.

Hey, fuckers which one of you nearly killed my sister? I did and I will do it again when I see her. You will never put your fucking hands on my sister again. Who is going to stop me? Do you know who I am? No, and I do not care. You will because you just fucked with the wrong family. Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it?  Sleep with one eye open because I am coming for you.

You better pray my sister pulls through because if she does not say goodbye to your family. I walked away and headed back to the hospital to check up on Hope. Mom, how is she doing? She is a touch and goes. The doctor said she would be able to make a recovery. Thank you, Danielle. You are an incredibly good friend to my sister. Your welcome hope is like a sister I never had. I hope she pulls through. Hope is strong and she will make it. That she is. I gave a small smile and walked up to Hope. Hope hey sis please come to me. I need my twin sister. You must fight and fight hard mom is here she is worried sick and your friends are here too we all need you, Hope.

Today I went to see Hope hoping she would be awake, but the doctor said she has not woken up yet. I know Hope is not going to be happy with me because I took her out of college and made her do online classes to finish college. I cannot lose my twin sister like this again. Later today mom came to check on Hope. How is she doing? They said she is healing well but they do not know why she is not awake yet.

Mom nods Hope sweetie you have to wake for Mommy I miss you and am worried sick about you I cannot lose my baby. Mom turned away and started crying. Sean call me when she woke up. I cannot handle seeing her like this. I will mom she will be okay mom just have hope she comes back to us. Mom nods and walks away. I sat in the chair next to Hope's bed. I held her hand and I prayed that she would come back to us. I must have fallen asleep because I was woken up by my sister talking to her friends.

Hi, sleepyhead. Omg, sis your awake I missed you so much. I am a call mom to let her know you are awake. Okay, Sean, I am fine I know you took me out of college and got me into online classes to finish college. I am not mad I am glad you did it. I just want to do what was right by you sis I cannot lose my twin sister now can I?  Nope we cannot have that. I cannot wait to go home and work with you and the kids. Me too, the kids have been asking for you, they made you get good cards for you too.

Aww, tell them I am doing good. I will be home soon. I hope they will be happy to see you again. Me too they are my hope and light. Hope fell asleep. I sit here and wait for mom to come to see Hope. She is worried about mom. When I said that mom came to the door. Hope baby you are awake God thank you for bringing my baby girl back. Hey baby girl, how are you feeling? I am okay mom you cannot get rid of me that fast lol. Aww mom I am okay I am alive. I cannot wait to get home to my bed.

Hope went back to sleep, and I went home to get rest myself. I got into the shower and then went to bed. Today was a long day but I am happy my sister is going to be okay. I drifted off to sleep. Today I got to go home and rest, of course, my brother and mom took me out of college but at least I can take online classes, I'm happy about that because I know if I go back he will kill me. Today I did my first day of therapy.

It went well but I am still in pain. I am scared to go in public because I think he is following me. My depression has gotten worse in the last couple of days. All I can think about is dying but I must be strong and beat this battle. It is not easy, but I always think about the kids that I work with. They are like my hope and I am theirs. I owe them that much. My phone started ringing. I looked at my phone. I do not know the number, so I let it ring until Sean and mom got home. Hope, I am home, sis! I am in the computer room. I heard Sean coming hey bro I missed you. Hey kiddo how was your day? It was good until a weird number called me. I just let it ring through. Hope how long you have been getting weird calls? Since that day I almost died. Hope why didn't you tell me more? I did not want to worry you both. Sis, we need to talk. Did mom ever tell you about dad? No why? Sweetheart, I think dad had something to do with this and I do not think he knows we are his kids.

But why would he want to hurt us? I think mom owes him money and does not realize who we are. Hope the next time someone calls you with a number you do not know answer it okay? Okay, how was work? It was good that Jasper was asking about you. Awe tell Jasper I said hi. I will lol.

The kids love you and keep fighting for them. Everything will be okay sis. Sean and hope I am home! we are in the computer room Mom. We heard Mom and we asked her if she owed anyone money. Mom Hope has been getting weird calls. I think it's dad, but I do not think he knows we are his kids.

I think it is time for you two to know the truth. What do you mean? When I was pregnant with both of you your dad was already gone, I did not get to tell him. You did not tell him at all that is why I almost died? No, we do not know who did this. Well, I will call this number back and see who it was. Sis let us call together okay bro. The phone rang and someone answered it sounds like a guy's voice then heard the same voice as the guy that almost killed me.

Hello, who is this? Hello someone from this number keeps I heard the guy that almost killed me and said hope how is your life now?  Leave me alone you monster you almost killed me. Wait what is your name, Hope Anderson. Are you anyway related to Heather Anderson? Yes, I am her daughter and I have a twin brother named Sean Anderson. Oh my God, you are telling me you are my kids? Yes, we were trying to find out who this number belongs to. It is my number; my name is Jamie Anderson.

I used to be married to your mom. We would love to see you and get to know you but please leave that monster he ruined my life. What does he do to you? He almost killed me. I cannot walk. I go to therapy every day because of him I have chronic depression and all I can think of is killing myself. I will deal with him Hope I am so sorry you have to go through this because of him. My mom and Sean want to talk to you.

Okay, hello my name is Sean Anderson I am Hope's twin brother. Hello Sean, I am Jamie Anderson I am so sorry I did not know I had kids. Why didn't I call mom? I tried she would not answer and if she did not answer her friend may do and tell me to go to hell. I heard your mother had kids, but I never knew they were mine.

We would love to get to know you but please do not bring the monster that ruined my sister for saving another person's life. Wait what do you mean by saving another person's life? Ask the monster. Chance what did you do to my daughter? She was in my way and she was going to class. I was beating a girl that was in special need and Hope came to help her so instead of finishing the girl I was beating up I beat Hope nearly to death.

You are an asshole that was my daughter you put her through hell now she cannot walk because of you. So not my problem, yes, it is, and I will show you how it feels like not being able to walk. You cannot touch me because I will tell my dad and I will tell him what you did.

Go head he is not going to believe you anyway. We will see about that. Sean, I will take care of the chance. Thanks well here, my mom. Hello Jamie, how are you doing? Hi Heather, I am good you? I am good just been working hard taking care of Hope and Sean helps too. Why didn't you tell me about the kids? I was going to but when I found out you left, I was too late, so I took care of them and I told them about you. I did not want to be a bother to you, so I kept quiet until what happened to Hope.

Then hope was getting calls from this number. I am so sorry about what happened to Hope I will tell his father. Who is the chance father? Jack is his father. Wow never saw that coming. yeah, you and both. Heather, I want to be in their life. That is not up to me, they are only 20 years old now they are grown. I know they look just like you. Well, come by sometime tomorrow come get to know them. I must go. Hope needs help getting into the shower. Okay, I see you tomorrow Heather. Good night Jamie good night Heather.
