CHAPTER SEVEN

I don't own WOWP only the plot.

LAST TIME

There were two people exactly the same. The only differences were the length of their hair and their clothing. They both had the same satisfied glint in their eyes.

'So this is what Alex has been keeping as a secret.'

JUSTIN'S POV

As Selena and Alex (I mean who else could it be?) walked towards the centre of the stage the crowd was filled with mutters and murmurs.

"Who is she?"

"She's a fake!"

"OMG! It's a CLONE!"

"CLONES ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!"

Then one of the 'clones' stepped up to the mike and her voice flooded through the crowd.

"SHUT UP!" She, Alex I think, screamed. "We are NOT clones! Haven't any of you heard of identical twins? Yesh!"

"Alex. Calm down." Selena told the worked up girl. Then she took the mike of her twin and turned to the crowd. "What my twin here is saying is that we are identical twins. Our parents were killed on the night of our christening and so we were put up for adoption. Alex here was adopted by a regular Manhattan family while I was taken in by the Gomez family and became what you guys, my fans, see me as today. And now to this is a little song Alex would like to dedicate to her adoptive parents who are in the crowd. Then celebrate our reunion we will sing a little song that we think explains everything."

Alex reached behind her to grab the extra mike from Greg, the drummer. Then they sang.

Alex: Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break in, there's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in the dreams that I'm dreaming

Selena: I hear it every day, I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh!

Both: Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Alex: How many inches in a mile, what it takes to make you smile
Teach ya not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Selena: Tell me, tell me something I don't know
Tell me, tell me something I don't know

Alex: Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing, the odds I'll be losing
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million
More like one in a billion or one in a zillion

Selena: I hear it every day, I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh!

Both: Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Both: How many inches in a mile, what it takes to make you smile
Teach ya not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Alex: So here's the track
Selena: Like Katrina make you work like machine
Alex: And make 'em say 'I'm ready!'

Selena: Are you ready for it?
Alex: Yeah, I'm ready for it
Selena:Really ready for it?
Alex: Yeah, I'm ready for it!
Both: Let's get ready for this

Alex: I'm on my way
I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy!

Both: Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Selena: How many inches in a mile, what it takes to make you smile
Teach ya not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Both: Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

Alex: How many inches in a mile, what it takes to make you smile
Teach ya not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

The band struck the final notes and the music faded away. Silence. Then the crowd went absolutely mental. They were cheering and doing wolf whistles. I have a strange feeling that they like Alex and Selena singing together.

"And now for the song that my twin Alex wrote herself!" Selena told the crowd.

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

Alex was singing like she truly enjoyed it. She looked like she was in heaven. Selena was singing but she was the background singer. Her soft voice wrapped itself around Alex's, making them both seem perfect.

I never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
A lazy day in bed, music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

Another sunny day, and dreamin' far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
Never believe

As the crowd burst into applause Selena and Alex took a final bow and walked off stage. The crowd yelled in protest once they had left. Then Alex ran bak onstage and took the mike.

"Now I know you guys want more, but it is time that we left you. Selena's new album will be out soon so please buy it and for a fact she does read every fan letter she recieves. And she has a shelf where she displays all her gifts from her dedicated fans like you guys. And one last message: Would everyone with backstage and VIP passes please come around to the side of the stage where my good bud Jono will escort you. Thank you." Then she disappeared backstage.

"Come on Justin, lets go meet Selena and her clone!" Max was extremely excited that there was a 'clone' in the same building as him.

As we pushed our way through the crowd to Alex's 'good bud' Jono, Dad kept on saying something to Mum. It sounded like he was comforting her.

"It's OK Theresa. She was bound to find out some time."

"But she never told us! We're her parents!" Mum was almost crying.

"Theresa, do remember that we aren't really related to her. We were just chosen to look after her, just like the Gomez family were chosen to look after Selena."

I was puzzled as to what they were talking about and then I remembered. Alex had just explained it. Or was it Selena?

"What my twin here is saying is that we are identical twins. Our parents were killed on the night of our christening and so we were put up for adoption. Alex here was adopted by a regular Manhattan family while I was taken in by the Gomez family and became what you guys, my fans, see me as today."

So Alex wasn't really my sister or Max's. She was really Selena's identical twin sister. How long had she known about this? This was a bloody huge secret to keep from your own brother. Wait, I told myself mentally, she isn't really my sister. If she was hiding this from me then who knows what else she will be hiding! I mean, she could've at least have told the big brother figure she has had her whole life!

ALEX'S POV

Well the news is out in the open now. I wonder how Justin and Max are taking it? They would probably be pleased that I'm not related to them in any way what so ever. And I wonder how Harper will reacte? OMG! Harper! I haven't told her anything! And she would really like to see my Boutique in Paris.

"Hey Sel?"
"Yes?"
"When do you want to see my boutique in Paris?"
"As soon as possible! Your sense of fashion is amazing!"
"Why thank you sis. I mean we culd go right now if you want, but I want to bring my other best friend Harper. She designs her own clothes too, even if they are totally random."

"Totally random?"

"She has a pretzel dress, put it that way."

"Oh. Right. That kind of 'totally random'."

"Yeah... So we could go right now and pick her up on the way?"

Selena agreed to my idea and I created a portal to the broom closet just out side Harper's apartment. I told Selena to stay there while I went and got her. I knocked on the front door leading to Harper's place and waited for the door to open. When I finally opened I was greeted by the confused face of Harper Finkle.

"Hey Harp."

"Oh. It's you... Hi Alex! What are you doing here?"
"I wanna show you something. Tell you parents that you are going out for a bit and follow me!"

"O..OK." She turned in the doorway and yelled, "MUM! DAD! I'M GOING OUT WITH ALEX FOR A BIT! WILL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT!" She then grabbed a reasonably ordinary jacket of the stand by the door and followed me after closing the door behind her.

"So. Where are we going?"

"Paris." I stated shortly. I pulled her into the broom cupboard before me and pulled shut the door behind me. "By the way Harper, I want you to meet my twin sister, Selena. Selena this is Harper Finkle."

"Selena? As in, Selena Gomez? You never told me you knew her!"

"Yes Harper. I know I never told you but I'm telling you now OK. Now grab a hand each and follow me."

"One more question Alex. Why are we going to Paris?"

Selena answered for me. "You'll se Harper. You'll see." Her voice was filled with mystery.

I rolled my eyes and leapt through the back wall of the cupboard. Even though Selena had a vague idea of what was going to happen she still screamed or laughed, I couldn't tell. Harper was just screaming her lungs out. The we were there.

I walked over to the silver balcony rail and waited for my friends to join me. I heard them step up next to me and saw them place their hands next to mine on the railing.

"Girls. Welcome to my Parisian Fashion Boutique!"

Well there is another chappie! I wrote this one in a day! OMG! I am so sorry for not updating anytime soon! I will be updating regularly though. It is my NYR. Anyways, tilnext time!
