Chapter 15: Hazel

Chapter 15
~Hazel~

That night kept running through my mind as I sat in my bed staring at the wall. I couldn't get Victor out of my head.

*Flashback to that night*

I walked into the house with Zach.

"Hazel, honey we need to tell you something..."

I looked at them worriedly then looked back to see Zach still standing there. He looked at me as if to ask me if I wanted him to stay and I nodded yes.

We sat down at the table with them. And they looked at Zach like he was an intruder.

"Whatever you have to say to me you can say it in front of him too."

They looked at each other and then back at me. My mom opened her mouth to start talking but then closed it.

"Your adopted."

I looked back to see the voice who had said it. It was Aiden. He looked pissed. He looked as if he wanted to punch somebody.

My parents looked at each other surprised. "Ho-how did you know?" my dad asked.

Aiden was fuming. "I found an adoption certificate the day I got here. How could you not tell her? Why did you wait this damn long?"

"Aiden you must understand baby. We were going to we really were, but I didn't want it to ever ruin your bond."

"Adopted or not she's, my sister. But that is cruel to not let her know earlier so that she could track her birth parents if she pleased."

"No. She wouldn't have been able to. They died when she was a baby."

He looked shocked. "Oh. I'm sorry but you still should have told her earlier." He looks calmer now.

Apparently, I was crying because Zach wiped my tears. "Wait. But. Wait so you're not my parents and he's not my brother. But I love you guys. And it was all a lie?"

"No honey. We are your parents regardless and he is still your brother regardless. And Hell, no everything was not a lie we all love you. You just weren't birthed by me but that doesn't matter."

I looked at her and I was calmer too and the tears stopped flowing from my eyes.

"I'm goanna go up to my room and process this all. But Thanks for telling me and I love y'all."

*End of flashback*

I texted Victor last night asking him to meet up at the café today. I forgot to tell him a time, so I texted him to meet me at 4pm. And he answered quickly saying "Ok I'll be there".

I don't really know what to talk about, but I know I need to. I hope I don't cry.

I looked at the time for the first time today and it was 2pm. I have two hours, so I decided to get in the shower.

After I got out the shower, I put on a black long sleeved under shirt with a cream-colored shirt on top with mushrooms in a square in the middle. And I paired in with a pair of brown corduroy pants with my dock martins. I put my hair up in a half up half down style and put a ribbon on it.
