Chapter 5 of Me and You - Plot Twist

Lorenzo’s phone starts ringing. At first he thought that it was his mother. He looked at the phone, but he did not recognize the number. He answered the phone, and it was his half-sister Olivia. She was the daughter of Lorenzo’s father and his ex-wife who was a dentist. Lorenzo did not know her very well. The last time he had seen her, he was 12 and she was 21. He said that he expected her to be ugly, but she was beautiful. Olivia asked Lorenzo some questions about whether his parents were home. He thought that the questions were crazy. He had to be careful how he answered them, because he thought that it might be a trick.
A little later, Lorenzo was taking a nap, and he heard somebody trying to unlock the door to the cellar. He heard them come in, and he tried to hide. It was his sister Olivia. She said that she was looking for a box with her name on it. They found the box, but what she was looking for was not there. She asked Lorenzo if he had any money. He had some money, but he told her that he did not. He asked her not to tell anyone where he was, and she left.
After Olivia left, Lorenzo found a letter that she had written to their father. In the letter, she said that she hated him and asked him not to help her out anymore. She was always getting into trouble, and the father would help her. In the letter, she said that if she wrote a book about her life, the chapter on her father would be called “Diary of a Hatred”.  Lorenzo could not understand why she hated their father.

Later, someone was knocking on the window. It was Olivia. She had nowhere to sleep and asked Lorenzo if she could sleep in the cellar. He kept telling her no. He was not going to let her stay there, but she said that she would tell everyone where he was. He had to let her in.
