My short story, "forbidden love"

fyi, i made this for a writing contest. but, you know my english wasn't good enough. so it denied. lol.
here's the story begin...

Tanya didn't know how to speak the first time she met him. She felt strange because she really didn't have anything to say. She got stuck on her book, looked at him curiously. He wore a headset on his ear and muttered a song. She sat in front of him, still admiring him. She pulled a chair and sat on it...
It had been an hour since she sat there. She stood up, stretched her body. She saw him still on his book and ipod. Tanya walked closer to him, and touched his back,
"have you finished, Will?" she said.
"Oh yes I have. Want to have some lunch, Tan?" he asked as he looked at her.
"Okay."
William and Tanya walked out from the library.
Coke and a big-monster-hamburger are on William's tray. And a bowl of corn soup on Tanya's tray. They ate their lunch and didn't speak with each other. They were stuck on their own mind; they were thinking the same topic. William was eating his hamburger very slowly and Tanya looked at William’s cold face.
"I was thinking what mom said to us." Tanya spoke first.
"So was I. I already knew that I was adopted when I was 10th. But mom and I wouldn't tell you before you're ready." he said calmly.
"But why now?" asked Tanya.
"Because we thought that you were ready to know the truth."
"So, am I wrong if I love you as a boyfriend not as a brother?" asked Tanya almost murmured.
"What did you say?" William gawked.
"No big deal."
"Nope. That won't happen. You are my sister now and forever." William drank his coke and pulled his chair. "I wanna go to work. See ya at home."
Tanya just sat and let her head down and she saw William left McDonalds with an uncertainty face. She had fallen in love with her brother since she was a child. But she knew that William was her brother and she couldn't have a crush on him. Two days ago, before mom left their house to live with her new husband, Billy, mom told her and William about where William came from. William was adopted when he was a baby, then 3 years later Tanya was born.
* * *
Tanya cooked a dinner before William came home. She cooked beef lasagna for the dinner. She cleaned and put a plate for William. She was extremely confused with her mind and had no clue how to end her pain.
An hour later William came home and Tanya was eating her lasagna as she watched the TV. She pretended to ignore Will, as will did her. He changed his clothes then ate the Lasagna. Tanya walked to sink and washed her plate.
"Mom told me to come to her house tomorrow. She will throw a party." said William badly.
"Ok. I’ll be home earlier." Said Tanya as she went upstairs.
She slamed her bedroom door. Suddenly, she started cry and lay down behind the door. "This is brainless," she murmured to herself and tried to calm down her mind. She sobbed. She lost in her thoughts and fell asleep.
William heard the slam door from Tanya's room. But he tried to ignore it. He still focused with his computer and did his project. He heard Tanya's murmurs. He wanted to calm her down and hold her tight but he knew it would make the situation worse. Thus, William tried to not think about Tanya.
Shocked when she found out that she woke up late in the morning. She took a bath feverishly and ate her breakfast. She saw Will asleep in front of his computer. She woke him up and gave him a glass of milk.
"It's 8 o'clock. You'd better go to work."
"Thanks. What happened to you last night?" Asked Will.
"Nothing. I'll go home earlier. So, we can go to Mom's house at 6 p.m. bye!" Tanya put on her shoes then left the house.
William was feeling so wrong after all. He saw Tanya's eyes were swollen. He figured out that the last night murmurs were the sound of Tanya' crying. Then, He was thinking about calling his mom.
"Good morning, Mom." Will said on the phone.
"Good morning, honey. What made you call me?"
"Um, will dad come tonight?"
"I don’t know. Maybe he will come."
"Yeah. Be sure that Billy won’t get angry."
"Of course he won’t get mad. Will, I gotta go. See ya tonight."
"See ya mom."
William ended his call. He missed his Dad; He wanted to tell Dad about his problem and Tanya. He tried to call Dad but Dad never answers his call. "Why Dad? Why did you do this to me?" Will murmured to himself. "I need you, Argh!" Then He groaned.
* * *
It was almost 6 p.m. and Tanya had arrived at home. William took his jacket then turned on his car.
"Come on! Hurry up." He yelled at Tanya.
"Yeah! I'm on my way," Tanya yelled from inside the house. Then she came up in a little dress. She looked amazing.
"What a great dress!" Will said shockingly.
"Um, Thanks." Tanya got into the car.
Along the way to their mother's house, they didn't even say a word. Tanya just played with her phone and Will just drove the car without say anbything.
They've arrived. Their mom welcomed them with a big hug. Billy just smiled to them.
"Hey my little girl. You look pretty," said their mother.
"Thanks mom. So do you."
Then both Tanya and her mom sat at the dining table. They both laughed and made some jokes. And Will talked to Billy and decided to teach Billy how to ride a motorbike.
Suddenly, someone was knocking the door. Their Mom opened it and shocked while she found out that it was their dad.
"Hey Melia. How are you?" Dad said to mom with an uncertainty smile.
"Uh, Fine. I thought you wouldn't come."
"I wanna meet my eldest son."
"I've told him and Tanya everything."
Their Dad was quiet for a moment,
"Its okay." said their Dad as he went inside.
"DAD!" Tanya yelled at her Dad.
"My little Tanya. How are you, sweetie?" asked her dad as he kissed her cheek.
"I'm fine. What about you? Did you have some fun in Hawaii?"
"Not that fun without you, honey."
"ha-ha-ha" Tanya laughed gladly.
"Where is your brother?"
"um, in the backyard. with Billy."
And then, Dad approached Will. Will startled with their Dad. he was messed Will's hair and they laughed together.
"How are you Dad? i missed you so much." said Will.
"Sorry i was too busy, son. I'm fine. What about your new job?"
"I like it. Why can't i call you, dad?"
"My phone was broken. I haven't buy a new one."
"Oh. I wanna tell you what was happened."
"So tell me then." said their Dad as he sat on the grass.
William was telling everything since their Dad left. He also told him about what happened to Him and Tanya.
"So, Do you really love Tanya?" asked him curiously.
"Of course, dad!" said Will feverishly.
"I mean, do you love her not as a sister?"
"Um, yes, i do. But whatever, she's my sister after all."
"But not your real sister. You have no same blood with her."
"Yeah."
"So, prove it then," said their Dad as he pulled William.
"But what about mom?"
"Let me tell her. She won’t get angry."
"hm, Ok."
"Now, tell my daughter that you love her!"
"Right away." said wil as he stood up.
Tanya was throwing some rocks to their Mom's pool when Will approached him. Will sat beside her and looked at her.
"Why'd you look at me like that?" Tanya astonished.
"Um, there is something i wanna tell you." William said indecision.
"What is that?"
"I love you." said Will bit by bit.
"..." Tanya was quiet and buried her head between her arms.
"I know we're brother and sister. but we were not coming from same mother and same father." said Wil roughly.
"I know that! But what about mom and dad?!" She yelled at Wil.
"Dad has known about this. He said, if i really love you then i should prove that to you."
"So what about Mom?"
"Let dad tell her."
"Are you sure?"
"pretty sure. and all we have to do now is end up this pain and let our love grow between us." said Will then he took Tanya's hand.
An hour later, mom called Will and Tanya. Dad has told mom everything. Mom was mad at Dad at first, But as Dad explained how much Will loved Tanya, mom decrease her anger.
After all, Tanya and Will still live on the same house and dad live with them. now, there are no forbidden loves in their house.
-The end-
