Steve's pov;
I was in my room clicking through different channels in the television, I was bored. Well actually I was just waiting for Eddie to come home- which felt like forever though.

I was starting to feel sore from sitting in that position for the past hour or so. I sat up bring me feet to the side of the bed and standing up. I wasn't feeling the greatest that day so I didn't do much.

I looked at my closet and realized how messy it looked, I walked over to it and looked around inside a little bit.

After rummaging around so much I saw some large leather book with "Harrington" in big bold gold letters across the front of it.

I brought it with me back to the bed and opened it. It dated back to 1964, only a couple years before I was born.

I looked through all the photos, not a singular photo of me as a kid or anything. I started frown as I went through the pages faster. I finished the whole book and not a photo of me anywhere. To think about nobody ever took photos of him. 

He sat there tearing up but then he saw something else in the back of the book, a paper almost? He pulled it out and realized it was a full paper covered in signatures and writing.

...

They were adoption papers.

I started to let tears down my face, I mean I was glad I wasn't from that family but my entire life i was lied to. I'm not even a real Harrington.

I sat there crying with the papers in my lap. Still crying even when I heard the front door latch open, usually I acted about who was in my house but that's not important to me I guess right now.

After a bit of sitting Eddie came into the room smiling but his face kind of dropped when he saw me. It's like I ruin everybody's smile with my stupid problems.

"Hey. You okay? What's wrong?" Eddie spoke

I stayed silent as Eddie walked over to me. He grabbed the paper in my lap and looked at for a minute or so. Dropped the paper and just hugged me. I cried until I fell asleep, Eddie just stayed beside me all night.
