Chapter 5

Even though the day before I had recieved or, well, discovered such shocking news, last night I slept better than I did in the whole past two weeks.

I don't know if it was the satisfaction of finally knowing the truth, or just because Lena was there and it seemed like all was normal, but I slept well and I didn't care what the reason was since I was happy to finally feel rested again. 

But now I really wanted to talk to somebody about this... thing. Usually I would've just talked to Lena, but how should I know how she would react? I didn't wanted her to totally flip out, or worse, go tell my 'mom'.

Don't be so stupid, she wouldn't do that. But you also don't have to go and talk about everything. Just leave it. 

And that was probably for its best. One thing though, I couldn't leave. Searching for my real mother. I had to find her. How would I start? How could I have gotten swapped? 

Later that day when Lena had left and I had finally changed out of my PJs, even though that was kind of stupid since I would have to change back into them soon enough, I started making a chart with all the factors that were needed for such a swap to take place.

I started thinking, wrote things down, crossed them out, wrote down probabilities, crossed them out, rewrote it all togethor, and finally, finally, three hours later, I had some points on how and when things had happened.

I had written down:

- I was most probably between 1 and 4 years old.

- I had to be swapped with someone that looked extremely similar, otherwise people would've noticed.

- The person had to be a girl (duh.) 

- Same age.

- Had to have lived in the LA region around that time since we lived there around that time.

- Possible: Patricia Stokes, for whom's daughter I played look alike even though this meant that technically I was her daughter = too crazy.

- Was the swap planned, forced, or an accident? 

- If accident how could no one notice?

Okay, for having worked hours on this it wasn't a very thorough or long list. At least I had a small overview now, but where would I start? 

To be honest I just wanted to leave and start searching, but was that the right thing to do?

I decided to just lay down and calm down, maybe scroll a little through my tumblr. Like a sign, I saw it. A quote. It said: Sometimes what is right for you is not necessarily good for you.

 And that perfectly described my situation. It was true. It would probably have been right to stay, wait for a better timing and then sit down and tell my mom, start talking and then finding a solution, but that wasn't what was good for me. I could feel it. I needed answers. Now.
