Family Secrets

Chapter 1

Ugh here I was sat in my last lesson of they day, maths. Yippie! Who am I kidding maths is the worst subject to ever be invented. A short tap on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts. I look over to where my headteacher stands with a concerned look plastered on his face. "care to join me in my office miss green?" I sighed and got up to follow him.
"What did I do this time Marvin" I exclaimed with a smirk. He sighed and ran his hands down his cheeks. "Why did I chose this job" he stated more to himself then me. "Well you did apply" in return I just got a cold glance. "Anyways...why am I here? If it's for what happened in the lunch hall yesterday I do not apologise and I would gladly do it again-." I was rudely interrupted by you guessed it, Marvin! "You haven't done anything this time quite surprisingly" he retorted raising an eyebrow. I started at him in disbelief, why call me down if I hadn't caused any problems. As if he was reading my thoughts "your stepfathers dead." To say I was shocked was a understatement. I wasn't shocked about the fact he was dead more or less the fact where I was going to stay. A sinister smirk made its way onto my face but it was quickly covered by my emotionless face I've been used to wearing 24/7. "So will I go to an orphanage? Or will I be adopted?" Now I was upset, what if I had to leave the only place I've ever known. This city was the place I grew up in, it help many memories some better than others I must admit but I don't know anywhere else like my home town. "I'm afraid it's not my place to say, once you get home there should be a police officer waiting for you, she will explain everything." Wow he could tell me that my stepfather was dead but couldn't tell me what will happen to me. Pathetic.
As I walked down the familiar street I could see the police car sat on my driveway. I mentally rolled my eyes. Opting against running away I walked up to the blue front door, which looked as though it would fall on me any second, and turned the lock. Just like my head teacher said a police officer was sat waiting for me. As soon as her eyes came into view of me she smiled. "Hi Adreana! I'm officer peters but feel free to call me Sarah." Of course her name was Sarah. Her smile soon flattered when I didn't say anything just stood there with a cold glare plastered on my face, then again when am I not wearing it. "Well as you are aware your father-" "stepfather" I interrupted although he didn't even deserve that title. "As I was saying, your stepfather has passed away legally making you an orphan." Well no shit Sherlock, god it's like she thinks I'm in primary school, just because I'm smaller than the average night for a 15 year old does not mean I act like a small child. In fact I've gone through shit that would make grown men cry. "So what's going to happen to me" I asked with sarcasm dripping from my tone. Sarah smiled reappeared, this was freaky almost as though she knows something I don't. "Well we have run your name and DNA through our system and we have found some biological family." Okay I was expecting a surprise but this! This was not it, there is no way in hell I was going back to my brothers. They threw me out when I was 5 and never once tried to stay in contact. "Umm I believe I heard you wrong, I don't have an brothers I'm an only child." Sarah sighed "look I know this is really hard for you to understand but we have already contacted your eldest brother and he's agreed to take you in. Unfortunately he lives in America but he has sent you a plane ticket which will be leaving in a few hours." This was not happening. "Can I not refuse, what if I don't want to live with them! You can't make me go live with a stranger who I don't even know." Surprisingly she fell for the lie. "Adreana listen to me, there is nothing you can do your brother is now your legal guardian wether you like it or not. Now I suggest you go and pack as we will be leaving very shortly." With that said I stood up and ran upstairs not before giving the annoying women sat in my living room a glare. I watched as she visibly gulped ha this is quite amusing. Entering the room I've called mine for the past 10 years I sighed and pulled out my burner phone from under my mattress to tell my boss I'm leaving.
(A= Adreana, z= Zach - her boss)
A- heyyy boss
Z- what is it A, you know I'm a very busy man
A- ummm so basically mystepfatherdiedandimnowgoingtolivewithmybrothers
Z- woah slow down A I cant understand a word your saying
A- my stepfather died so my biologicals are my new legal guardians
Z- shit, I'm sorry A I know how much you hated them
A- yeah so unfortunately this means I'll be moving to America and won't be able to fight anymore
Z- hey listen to me okay I'll make a few calls and hook you up with a manager over there just let me know which part of America your based
A- thank you zach! As soon as i know I will let you know! Bye
Switching the phone off I placed it at the bottom of my suitcase along with a photograph of my mother. Grabbing the now fully packed bag I looked around my room one last time before closing the door and making my way downstairs. Reaching the front door Sarah looked at me with pity swarming in her eyes "I know it's hard to leave but I'm sure your brothers will allow you to visit" I scoffed and made my way over to the car. Throwing myself into the backseat, I got out my phone and started scrolling through Instagram to pass the time.
Someone clearing there throat broke my train of thoughts. Following the sound I saw Sarah looking back at me. "Alright Adreana this is where I leave you now, just follow all the signs and you will be alright" she said handing me my plane ticket and her business card. "Now if you ever need anything just give me a call okay?" I just nodded in return fully knowing I will not be contacting her. Stepping out of the car I was hit with the cold England weather. Welp here goes nothing.

It's now or never.
