I did the one thing I could think of to get me some alone time with Emma.. I got Lizzie to occupy Olive. "So.. how come you want to talk to me alone..?" Emma asks me nervously. God she is so sweet bless her, and still so innocent even at 17..

"I just want to get to know you more, how you ended up being adopted and stuff. What your life is like stuff like that ya know?" I say smiling at her, she nods her head with a smile. "Why don't you get a bit comfier and I'll join you on the couch?" I suggest, not wanting to do anything to cross boundaries. "Yeah okay! I'd like that.." she says with a soft smile, I get up making my way over to the couch getting comfy. She sits criss cross facing me, "Well.. I guess I'll start with the simple stuff. I like to perform and sing from here to there, and I like to read. My favourite colour is red and well you know I'm 17." She says smiling; I look at her reciprocating her smile, "That's nice, I like to read too! And well you now know I'm and actor so," I say with a laugh, she nods chuckling with me. "So, tell me about you adoption story, What is that like?" I asks Her hoping I'm not overstepping.

"Well I don't really know much of it, I know as much as my parents. When I was a baby I was found by policemen in a park by my house and they didn't know anything about me so I was put into the system. My parents can't conceive on their own so they adopted me and then a few years later adopted Olive." She says looking at me, I look at her and all I can hope is that she is mine. My sweet little angel that I lost so long ago. Lost but never forgot. "Do you have anything from your birth parents that they gave you before you were adopted?" I ask her.. The one thing my Emma had was her blanket she was wrapped in. The one I had personally made for her. "Yes actually, the police found a bag with me it had toys in but I don't really know who got me them.." she says looking down at her hands. "Oh okay-" I start to say but she adds on; "The only thing I have that I know for sure was given to me by my birth mom was my blanket. I'm guessing I was wrapped in it when the police found me.." she shrugs and that's when it hits me.

"What does-" I begin but she cuts me off. "I'm sorry but i gotta go." she says getting up. "Wait!" i try to stop her but she's in tears and blocking out my voice. She grabs her things and runs out the room, i get up chasing after. I need to know. I have to. I keep running after her when i stop after she reaches lizzie and her sister. She says something to Olive making her look my way, she simply nods and they both leave the building. Have I just lost my little girl again? I break down crying, dropping to the floor. It's not long before i feel two familiar arms wrap around my torso, it's lizzie.. She sits with me in her arms just rocking slowly to calm me down.. I have to try and find her. I have to. "I have to find her.. I need to know.." I let out in a small whisper, Lizzie tightens her grip on me slightly; "I know.. and we will." She says back to me, she helps me up and helps me out to my car.

"Are you going to be okay driving home?" She asks concerned, I nod at her with a sad smile in which she reciprocates. "Text me when you get back okay?" I tell her I will as I make my way home.

Olive and I had just arrived at home. Unlike her, I ran straight up to my room where she went straight into the family to tell mom and dad about what happened today. I walk over to my bed and clip over to the side up against my window, my room is on the from of the house same as Olive so it's quite a nice view when it's dark out. I grab my phone out my jacket and start scrolling through all the pictures I got today. Laughing at the faces I had got some of the cast to pull and smiling at the others, best birthday ever..

Scrolling through the pictures I finally land on the ones with Scarlett, I stare at them for a minute but start to feel weird so I turn my phone off and throw it somewhere on my bed. Getting up, I take my jacket off and slide my crocs on and walk out the room, heading downstairs.

"Hey guys, what's for-" I start to say walking into the dining room. No ones here.. What the- where did they go? I start to go through the house room by room looking for them but they're no where to be seen. I walk back to the dining room and go straight through into the kitchen, I look around and see some paper on the island. Picking it up I begin to read it,

Taken your sister for some food, be back in a few hours -Mom

Great. It's my birthday and I'm on my own, what a surprise.. not. I go through the fridge freezer looking for something to cook when I find left over lasagne, 'This will do' I think to myself and put it into the microwave to heat up. Whilst I wait for it to heat up I quickly run upstairs and grab my laptop and phone running back downstairs to the kitchen, I place my laptop and phone on the island where the stools are and get my food out the microwave. I grab a fork off the draining board and sit down where I put my laptop and phone.

Whilst I eat my phone I decide to put F.R.I.E.N.D.S on, I love this show; I will forever love Rachel Green, she didn't tolerate any bullshit from anyone. She always had her own back and I love that.

I get about half an hour into an episode and I have just finished eating, my phone pings so I look at who messaged me and it's Jaime. Wonder what he wants.. I look at the messages and am instantly confused.

Jaime: Girl!! Have you seen the news?!!!

What? No I haven't, why what's on it? :Emma

I click on the link and instantly groan.

Is this gonna be my life now? I groan going back to message him

This is so stupid! I'm not going to be able to go anywhere without people asking me :Emma about her now! 

Jaime: I mean you do look a like and I'm sure by the time tomorrow comes around no one will remember this.

Yeah guess you're right, all well I'm off to sleep because I have a shift tomorrow! Night! :Emma

Jaime: Night!

I turn my phone off an go to the bathroom to shower, I hang my towel up getting into the shower; I wash my hair and my body whilst definitely not almost slipping over. I get out the shower going and grab my towel and wrap it round me; I walk out the bathroom and over to my room. After getting into my pyjamas and have combed my hair oil through I get into bed and set alarm for the next day. I hope this is all blown over tomorrow...
