"I've got something to tell you."

"Well tell us then." Sabrina replied with that same tone of annoyance.
"Well.... I kinda found out that I may or may not have belonged to a different family in London. But we cant talk here." I whispered, Alex was planning to reply but I had already began to drag them both up the stairs. Once I got them into my room, I locked the door (hopefully no one would hear us) "So wait, your saying that you belong to a different family!? How did this thought approch your mind anyway?" Asked Alex.
"This." I once again maximized the screen, explaining everything to them whilst they read the article. They both were staring at the screen motionless; their facial expressions were blank.
"Wait, there's a picture" Sabrina spoke up
"And a picture is going to help her how?" Alex soon replied
Sabrina threw a death state at Alex indicating 'What an idiot'
"She can get a baby photo of herself and compare it to the picture on the screen... duh!"
"Oh well that makes sense!"Alex exclaimed "but how is she going to get the photo."
"Ughh!" Sabrina was annoyed now "just come with me."
We slowly crept downstairs trying our possible best to make sure we were not seen; but why were we doing this anyway! I could just walk downstairs casually and ask my mother if their were any photo albums of me that I could look at. So thats what I did and before Sabrina and Alex said anything I was already in the kitchen.
"Mum,could I look at some baby photos of myself?"
My Dad was behind her, for some reason after I had said this he looked really worried. Then he spoke.
"Okay...but why?"
"Errrm," I really didn't know what to say "Errrm well I need them for my errm m..y.. homework yes that's it! I need them for my homework; ive got this who am I project, and I thought It would be nice to use a baby photo in it" I was relived! But was it convincing enough?
"In that case why not! But make sure you dont cut anything."
That was my mum but I didn't hear what she said because I was already out of the kitchen and In the living room.
No, No wait... Yes this is it! I soon had the photo I needed in my palms.
I scurried up the stairs and into my room; where Sabrina and Alex were waiting, waiting for me to reveal my past
MATCH!
The photo looked exactly like the one on the website,
I am Edith Savannah Matthews!
I felt numb, hurt; my life had been a lie for all these years! I could feel Alex's hand, reassuring me, But I didn't want to talk to either him or Sabrina at the moment. My mind was parvaded with so many thoughts.
Although I knew I could only do one thing about it. Confront my parents, demand for answers. I need to know.
