Underwater

The Truth

P.O.V- Kashia

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. Instead of saying anything I let them continue.

"You were two years old when your parents put you up for adoption. We were looking for a child to adopt and when we first met you we fell in love with you. That day we told the agency we wanted you and soon enough you were ours."

I nodded as a sign for them to keep talking.

"When we tried looking into your file we across a part about your birth parents. It said the agency had no idea who they were. We understand you might be curious as to whom your birth parents are and that's ok. We don't want you to feel like you can't wonder or talk about them in front of us. We want you to know that we don't love you any less because of this. You are still our daughter no matter what."

I didn't even know what to think. I was hit with emotions of guilt, regret, and hope. These weren't my feeling so why was I feeling them?

I looked at them and could see these written plainly on there faces.

Could I now feel other people's emotions? Perfect timing right? Not!

I got off the couch with tears in my eyes. I could tell both my parents and I didn't feel well. Gosh, I was going to have to get used to this. "Kashia please-" she started.

"No, mom. I just need time. I-I just need to think about things for a while."

After that was said I got up and ran to my bedroom. As soon as I stepped inside I let my walls come down, instantly starting to cry.

After a little while I realized that inside I always knew I was adopted. It's just that I tried so hard not to believe that I was. When I ran out of tears I just sat there until I fell asleep.
