Your eating dinner and everything seems normal. Just as everything's about to change. You are thinking about your boyfriend Darry. When your dad, who usually doesn't look up from his meal, looks at you, a long stare. It seems as if he knows something he doesn't want to tell you. You give him a look saying 'just tell me already!'
"Honey, Idont know how to tell you this..." His voice trailed off.
"Come on dad tell me already!" You away impatiently.
"OK, here goes." And he explains it, you think. He talks so fast you can't understand him.
"One more time please dad. And so I can understand you this time!" You nearly shout at your dad.
"OK, your-your. Adopted." Your dad said nervously with a sigh. Obviously ashamed of not telling you sooner. " How do I say this." Your dad continues again. "Your parents, they didn't mean to have you. They were still in school. They trusted us with you until they were old enough to care for you. And I thought what's a better time than the beginning of high school! You don't even like your peers anyway! You complain all the time!" Your dad said cheerily. But what he doesn't realize is you have your friends now. You have a boyfriend. You have a gang. This is for home.
"But 'dad' or whatever you want me to call you now. I have friends, finally. I have a boyfriend! I have my gang!" You say holding back tears. "Mom is this true. This isn't one of dads tricks it it?" You ask weakly.
" No dear, I'm afraid its not." You 'mother' said sadly. You quickly finish your dinner. Then you run off to Darrys house. How are you going to tell him? Will he understand? Will he think your joking? You get to his house. You walk in the door and you burst into tears.
"Darry will be home in a minui- What's wrong?" Pony says worried. You walk overmt the couch and try to bury yourself in it. "It doesn't work. You can't bury yourself in the couch. Believed me, I've tried." Pony said jokingly. Knowing it would creep you out that he knew what you were thinking. Pony sat next to you and put his arm around you. "What happened?" Pony asked again.
"My-my par-parents to-told me-me I-Im A-a-adopted!" You stutter. Darry walks in the door and you start to cry harder knowing that you are going to have, against your will, leave the only person you've ever loved.
"What's wrong?" Darry asked stiitng on the other side of you.
"She said her parents told her she was adopted." Pony said quietly.
"Aaanndd mmyyy rrreeeeaaall ppaaaarrents wwwaaant mmmmeee baacckkk." You cry out.
"Its gunna be alright!" Darry coaxed. He hugged you. Pony silently left leaving you and Darry. "Did I tell you that I have an older brother!" Darry said trying to change the subject. "His name was Dylan. And he was engaged to who his wife is now since that were 16. And, and, there was something else. Oh, ya, they accidentally had a kid. I wished I had gotten to meet her. Dylan came to visit. He said they left their daughter with someone they trusted and are ready to meet her for the first time since she was 2." Darry said. "Her name, was the same as yours." Dylan walks out. "Hey, Dylan, this is my girlfriend I was telling you so much about. I was just telling her about you." Dylan makes a face like he knows you but doesn't. You know you've seen him. Could he? Could he be your dad? It all adds up perfectly.
"Darry, I'll see you at school I need to get home, I need to study for my quiz." You say as you gently take Darrys arm from around you. You walk to the bathroom and check your makeup. There is a woman in there, around Dylan's age, she must be Dylan's wife.
"Hi! I'm Candy! Dylan's wife. You must be Darrys girlfriend. He really loves you!" The woman says. Yo recognize her too. Could it be? You fix your makeup and walk home.
"Hey mom, dad? What are my real parents names?" You ask when you get in the door.
"Dylan is your dad. Your mom has some kind of weird name I can't remember it right now.. Cara, no, Kyra, no...." Your dad answers his voice fading.
"Candy?" You ask.
"Yes! Wait. How did you know?" Your dad becomes suspicious.
"I was over at Darrys house and he has an older brother coming for his daughter who was hour 14 years ago, when he was 16. His wife's name is Candy. They looked vaguely familiar. They seemed to recognize me too." You respond telling him everything.
"His name is Curtis. Could be. Probably is." Your dad responds
"Wait. So my boyfriend is probably my uncle?" Your father nods his head.You start to cry. "But I love him. And he loves me!" Your slink to the floor.
This is a two parter! Two pars only sorry!
