Good girl falling for a bad boy

I knew my mother was heartbroken by just looking at her through the window. Somehow I found the courage to grab Ashley’s hand, walk up to the door, and knock. I had changed my whole appearance, my blond hair was now red and black, my lip was pierced and I had a tattoo on my arm. My mother answered the door. “Yes, can I help you” My mom asked. “Mom it is me, Braelynn.” My mom looked at me and her face turned white has a ghost. “Braelynn is that really you?” I nodded my head yes. “Who is the boy with you” she asked. “This is Ashley” I said “Well it is nice to meet you ma’am” Ashley said about to shake my mother's hand but my mom just rolled her eyes at him. “Yeah you too” she said. “Would you like to come in?” she asked. When we got inside all of the memories came back to me. We went into the living room and sat down while my mom went to get drinks for us. Ashley looked at me and smiled but I just looked down. My mother came back with the drinks. “So how have you been dear it has been awhile.” My mother asked. “Wonderful I have job teaching dance to kids.” I said. “That is great dear but when are you coming home?” She asked. “Mom my home is in Leiper’s fork with Ashley now, I’m sorry but I won’t come back to a place where the thing I love to do more than anything is banned because Dad thought it would be best for everyone.” I just hoped she wouldn’t bring up my brother who died 5 years ago... “Well I’m sorry you feel like that but you don’t know this man enough to be living with him. Did you ever tell him about your late brother” She asked, “I guess not by the look on your face. I look over at Ashley and he look so confused and I could see the hurt in his eyes. I looked at my mom and she had a smile on her face.
“Braelynn what is she talking about”? Ashley asked. “My brother was killed by a drunk driver when he and some friends were coming back from a dance party one night and my dad banned dancing from that point forward.” As we left I finally told my mom how I felt about her trying to push Ashley away from me and how much I needed him since I was the only child. Three weeks after we got home I received a letter from my mom. As I read the letter from my mom, tears fell down my face when I learned that she was dying from Cancer. Also, that she had a secret that needed to be shared before she died. I immediately called my mother, and she told me that I had a younger sister, named Harlyn. She explained that the reason I never knew is because she and dad had made the decision to give her up for adoption because we were living in poverty at that time. Shortly after that, my mother passed away, and the search for my sister began.
