The Photo Album

A/N: The next chapter will be posted tonight or tomorrow. I would have posted last night, but there was a really bad storm. Sorry. :blush:

Chapter Seventeen
Vaughn was taken about that Sydney had slapped him. His heart sank. She actually slapped me, Vaughn thought to himself, I can’t believe it.

Vaughn sat there thinking and then hear a bunch of noises. He turned around and saw Sydney lunging for Lauren as Lauren started to pull Sydney’s hair. Within a blink of the eye, the two girls were rolling around on the floor fighting. They were screaming at each other and pulling a lot of hair until Vaughn rushed over, pushed people out of the way and pulled Sydney off Lauren.

“What the hell do you think you were doing Sydney?” Vaughn said shouting.

“Giving her what she deserved.” Sydney replied back nastily.

“Then, what was slapping me for?” Vaughn inquired.

“For you allowing her to put her arm around you!”

“Sydney, fighting is not an opinion. You talk it out with her, now come on let’s go into the theatre before you get into some serious trouble.”

They walked away from where Lauren was getting up and walking towards the bathroom. The crowd had dispersed from where the fight took place.

Sydney sighed, “I hate her. You of all people know that, she’s a brat. And, secondly SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND!”

“Syd, calm down, forget about her, let’s just enjoy the movie,” Vaughn said ushering her into the theatre.

“Alright. Vaughn…”

“Yes Syd?”

“I’m really, really, really sorry about not trusting you, slapping you, being nasty to you, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have done those things and trusted you. I’m really sorry and I hope you’ll take me back.”

“Sydney, I’ve already taken you back by ushering you away from fighting with Lauren. I accept your apology and am sorry that I didn’t call you back right away. I just wanted you to sleep and not disrupt your beauty sleep.”

“Vaughn…” Sydney stated, “Did you know that you’re the best boyfriend in the entire world?”

“No, because you’re the best girlfriend in the entire world.”

“Shhhhhh…the movie is starting!” some person behind them yelled interupting their moment.

All throughout the movie Sydney was squeezing Vaughn’s hand really tight because she got scared, especially in the ending.

“Thanks for taking me to the movies and pulling me off of Lauren and everything.”

“Anyday, anytime, just for you Syddie!”

“Just call me Syd or Sydney…Vaughn.” Sydney said.

“Ok…Syd.”

Once the car had stopped in front of Sydney’s house, Vaughn got out, opened her door and took her up to her doorstep where they kissed passionately.

Sydney pulled away, “Thank you for one of the best nights, I had a great time, except for the fight and everything.”

“No problem. Thanks for one my good night especially the girl fight,” Vaughn stated chuckling and then was playingly punched by Sydney.

“Good night!” Sydney said as she opened the door. After the door was shut she ran up stairs and couldn’t wait to tell Jaqueline and Francie tomorrow morning.

Great updaate. Vaughn should have let Sydney finish Lauren off. haha

texasalias


I should have, but I wasn't feeling to evil.



I'm sad to say it, but I think we're nearing towards the ending and the BIG question guys. The chappie will be up tonight I think, if I stop writing one of my newer fics to be put up soon. The title is 'The Summer to Remember.'
 
Okay...sad to say so guys but I think I'm only writing 1 more chapters and an epilogue to this story. My muse just really hasn't been with this story. Please don't hate me. Pictures of the Bristow, Sloane, and Vaughn house are pictured at the end of the two chapters along with the outfit Sydney wears to her own grad party. :smiley: And pictures of what Nadia, Jacqueline, Francie, and Vaughn are wearing. I got a little carried away. :blush: Please R&R and will have the last chapter and epilogue up soon.


Chapter Eighteen
Sydney called Jacqueline and Francie and told them all about last night’s events. She gushed about her fight and her make-up with Vaughn. Francie fell over from laughter and dropped the receiver on the floor and Jacqueline politely laughed. The party was only one day away and she needed to start kicking it into gear to get ready. Sydney finally decided that today, would be the day that she would ask her mother the BIG question about who that girl was on the folder.

Mrs. Bristow arrived home around noon and Sydney was cleaning away like mad for tomorrow. When Sydney saw her mother walk by the room she was busy cleaning she decided to seize the opportunity.

“Mom…” Sydney started.

“Yes Sydney?”

“Well…I kind of have something I would like to tell and ask you.”

“Oh My God have you and…” Irina started but didn’t get to finish because Sydney interrupted knowing what would be at the end of that sentence.

“EWWWWWWWW No Mom! I saw a picture of a girl who looked liked me and I remember playing with her when I was younger with Jacqueline. Who is she and could I meet her?”

“You weren’t supposed to find out about this.” Irina said and sighed.

“Why?”

“She is your half sister and Jacqueline’s half sister. Our two families put her up for adoption once we found out that it was Arvin’s child, not Jack’s. I had an affair Sydney. We like in this perfect little subdivision in the perfect city living the perfect life and to admit something that big would be a massive shocker and we figured that it would be better off if we put her up for adoption and just sent letters. She used to live with us up until you were five years old. A neighbor got to close to knowing the truth about her. So we put her up for adoption, she was three years old. It was hard Sydney; you have to believe me on that one. It was a hard thing to do to your daughter, just giving her away like that. No official crime has been committed, just giving away a daughter for such a stupid reason. Yes we all make mistakes and that why at your graduation party we were going to have her flown in from where she lives with a loving mom, dad, and four siblings. Two boys and two girls. Her name is Nadia, she’s eleven years old now, has dark brown hair, a tan complexion, is quite tall for her age, and has the cutest smile. And, when she does come for the party she will arrive with a million suitcases.”

“Why’s that?”

“Well…because her foster parents have agreed to let us regain custody and live as a family once again. Jack and I have come to the realization that no one is perfect and I had an affair, bad thing I know, but believe me Jack had an affair as well. So we’re even I guess.”

“Mom, I didn’t need to know some of that stuff.”

“I think the more insight, you’d see our decisions. You are old enough. Now come one we got a party to prep for!!!”




Chapter Nineteen
After Sydney and her mom had the talk about her unknown, younger sister Nadia they decorated well into the night, even Jack helped a little bit. During that time in one night they became a little bit closer to each other and really enjoyed each other’s company that night for once in their lifetime.

Sydney woke to a bright sunny, hot Saturday. She couldn’t believe that today was her own graduation party with all her friends. After showering she picked out a long green v-neck with a white tank to go underneath with her favorite denim skirt. She applied the minimal amount of make-up and went downstairs to grab a quick breakfast and then finish setting up for the party. As she made her way down the staircase she saw a mound of suitcases by the front door and a girl that looked exactly like her sitting down enjoying a bowl of cereal. Sydney ran down the stairs and screamed, “NADIA!!!”

“Syd?” Nadia asked.

“Yessss.” Sydney replied pulling her younger sister into her arms.

Just then Laura walked into the kitchen and couldn’t help smile to herself. She couldn’t stop thinking about what a good idea it was to have Nadia come back to live with them for good.

After breakfast Sydney finished all the last minute cleaning and helped Nadia haul all her suitcases up the stairs into her room. Once all ten suitcases were in Sydney’s room she helped Nadia pick out something to wear to her party. Sydney found something very similar to her outfit: a pink v-neck and a denim skirt. Then painted Nadia’s nails and put make-up on her. After beautifying Nadia it was lunch time. Lunch was simple, fast food. At one o’clock Jacqueline and Francie came over to help finish setting up. Jacqueline was wearing a navy v neck with a pair of khaki cropped pants and Francie was wearing a dark pink polo with a dark denim skirt.

“Jacqueline I’d like you to meet your half sister Nadia. Who is also my half sister.” Sydney said introducing Nadia

“We share a sister?”

“Well she does look like a combo between you and Syd.” Francie said jumping into the conversation.

“I have two stylin’ sisters and a stylin’ friend!” Nadia exclaimed

The girls couldn’t help but laugh. They got down to business after talking for a little bit longer and set up the DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), Karaoke Revolution, put Sydney’s iPod in the stereo, put plenty of towels by the pool, set up games outside and by the time three o’clock rolled around they were still running around putting things together before the guests arrived.

Vaughn was the first guest to arrive. Nadia followed Sydney to the door where Syd and Vaughn shared a passionate kiss.

“EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!” Nadia said.

“Vaughn…this is my half sister Nadia.”

“Nadia, this is my boyfriend Vaughn.”

“Hi Vaughn!” Nadia said.

More guests arrived and by three forty-five everyone had arrived and the party was hopping. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, many were dancing to the music and others were swimming in the pool. Nadia seemed to making friends left and right with all of Sydney and Jacqueline’s friends. Most of their friends treated Nadia like a friend than a sister.

Once it was eleven o’clock all of Sydney’s guests had gone home except for Weiss, who had taken a liking to Nadia, Will, Jacqueline, and Vaughn. Mr. and Mrs. Sloane arrived around eleven ten to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Bristow. That’s when all six of them decided they would go down to the beach and lay out underneath the stars for a while.

“This has been one of the most amazing nights in my life,” Sydney said to Vaughn.

“Me too Syd. Me too.” Vaughn said taking Sydney’s hand and walking down on the beach under the light of the moons and stars.

-erin :smiley:
 
Sorry about the double post.

A/N: First off, thank you to all you readers who have read this fic and have read. Sorry that the beginning of the fic was crappy and the ending was a little bit better. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the final (short) last chapter and the epilogue. I don't think there will be a sequel. The next story to be posted will be called 'And The Best Has Yet To Come' which will be posted within a month or two. Without further ado, the final chapter.

Chapter Twenty—Final Chapter
---Bristow House---
Jack, Laura, Arvin, and Emily all sat out on the deck in the back and discussed Nadia’s life.

“We’ve decided to take custody of Nadia,” Laura started.

“I am well aware of that Laura. However, why wouldn’t Nadia be able to live with me sometimes. It’s somewhat of a different lifestyle.” Arvin replied.

“But Arvin, Jacqueline has always been an only child and yes you may live wealthier than we do, that doesn’t change a thing. What if she spends every other month at your house?” Jack said.

“Arvin, that does sound pretty nice of Jack and Laura for every other month and it’s way better than every other week…that would be somewhat of a burden on poor little Nadia.” Emily added.

So it was all settled that Nadia would spend every other month at the Sloane’s house. Emily offered to buy her a set of clothes for their house and Nadia could keep all her existing clothes at the Bristow’s house. Then the adults went on chatting about work related topics and gossiping about all the other neighbors.

---Beach---
Everyone laid underneath the stars on the very picturesque night. It was night to remember for all. Nadia received her first kiss, from Weiss, the bond between Jacqueline, Nadia, and Sydney grew stronger every minute, Francie admitted that she and this one guy have been going out for a week and wanted to keep it a secret until she had shared it with her parents. The six friends thought that life couldn’t get any better than what it is now.


Epilogue
----Fifteen Years Later----
High school was a blast and everyone enjoyed it to its fullest. Their junior high clique was the most popular clique in high school. Let’s just say that Lauren and Sark weren’t too happy. Will became star quarterback of the varsity football team his senior year. Vaughn became the captain of the hockey team is senior year and led the team to victory, winning state. The three girls involved themselves in many after school activities. Jacqueline even went out for the freshmen cheerleading squad her freshman year and made it.

During Jacqueline’s junior year, Emily was diagnosed with leukemia, and underwent treatment and is currently living a healthy lifestyle. Jacqueline and Will broke up during their senior year knowing they were going to colleges on opposite ends of the country. Jacqueline is happily married to a man named Tom, whom she met in college and now has one one-year-old son named William. Will went to college and met a woman, Andrea, who is now his wife of two years, and they are expecting a baby girl.

Francie is engaged to a stockbroker, Charlie, and the two of them live in New York City. Francie is a well known fashion designer in the New York area. Later this year she is planning on opening stores internationally with the help of some already world-famous designers.

Weiss asked Nadia out two years later. Despite the age difference, they loved each other just the same. Both went on to date into high school, broke up a couple of times, but always got back together. They got married only a year ago and are expecting a baby boy.

Sydney and Vaughn’s relationship had a hard time in high school and decided to break-up their sophomore year. It was only in college when they met again and decided to get married. Now they are happily married, have a daughter named Isabelle and are expecting a baby boy.

-Finished-

Again, thanks for reading you guys! :D
