JP's POV
I hold my baby sister close to me hugging her tightly like our life's depended on it, when I finally pull away I study her face. I saw the resemblance I thought at first we was half siblings but looking at her I knew we was full siblings my brain working overtime I knew we could get a DNA test to confirm my theory.
"Jodie..ahh Jodie so good to meet my baby sister" I say looking down at her.
She smiles at me her whole face lighting up after the heartache she had been through.
"Hey Big Bro nice to finally meet you.....I've been searching for you for time" she replies.
"I'm so sorry darling but I never knew about you if I did I would of come for you sooner it's cos....only cos your mum died that I found about you....please don't think I ever turned my back on your existence. You are here now are you will always be a part of my life, Lena's life and our families. Babe you have so many people that want to meet you and for you to be a part of their life's as well. I know this is really overwhelming but you can ask me anything you want and I will be as honest as I can" I reply as we both take a seat.
"Why did you never know about me?" she asks.
"Well I was taken into care when I was 10 years old and I never saw your Mother after that and you was born three after that so I never knew about you until now" I replied.
"Why do you refer to her as "Your" Mother? She is your Mother too?" she asks sharply.
"Jodie, I was adopted. I class my adoptive parents as my Mother and Father I suppose it is part of my coping mechanism, it's just the way I am I don't mean any offence" I reply.
"Why did you get taken into care and get adopted?" she asks.
Lena walks over and puts an arm over my shoulder and replies.
"Darling it's complicated and right now is not the best time to have this conversation with emotions running high, all in good time yeah".
"Did they hurt you like they tried to hurt me?" Jodie asks her face showing no emotion.
"WHAT...WHO...WHO TRIED TO HURT YOU JODIE" I scream.
"BABE PLEASE" Lena steps in as she goes to Jodie.
"What...um ....what do you mean darling, who is they? I say trying to calm down.
"The men who would often hurt Mum" she replies.
"Babe I don't know....what men?" I ask.
Both me and Lena see Jodie clam up and we will have to try another time we have to gain her trust and then I change the subject slightly.
"How did you know about me Jodie?" I ask.
"I asked Mum about her tattoo that said JPF she told me one night when she was high it was my big brothers initials Jon-Paul Farley she would say proudly
" my boy, my handsome boy who I love with all my heart who I let down but he has potential he will go far in this world my precious baby boy". she replied those was her exact words.
I knew she wasn't lying my Mum always called me her precious baby boy. What a joke shame she didn't protect her precious baby boy.
"Mum often got pissed and would pass out on the sofa so I went searching one day and found a photo album, there was so many pictures of you and Mum together, you both looked so happy" Jodie replied .
I was astounded at Jodie's last statement what Leanne, Jodie's Mum had said about me and kept the pictures. Had she always thought of me? Loved me? Regretted what had happened?
