"I......I was trying to protect you" he said to me. "from?!.......you know what !! how about you tell me the story from the beginning " this time I was furious.
"umm....your real name is Mandy....I changed it the moment we left Portland....." dad said. "wait what?! Why??" I said confused. Wait so that guy who came to the shop and asked for Mandy...he really was asking for me?!
"umm I had to change it so we can start our new life fresh.....you were depressed I...." he said. "this does not give you the right to hide something like this from me!!" I screamed at him still couldn't believe he did something like this to me I thought he loves me.
"I want to hear the truth now!!" I said to him. He sat on the chair so he can talk. " when you were small you witnessed your grandfather's death in front of your eyes, after that accident you were never the same. You spent 4 weeks in the hospital then you kept on having nightmares and it did not stop until I brought you here. The worst part you stopped smiling, laughing, and playing. Imagine a father force to see his only child like that and couldn't do anything thing to stop it. I thought it was the only way for you to be happy and to start fresh" my dad said and I sat next to him shocked. I don't remember any of this.
" before the car accident we were fighting....you wanted to go see Shane, your cuzen, but I stopped you because......you knew the reason to why we left Portland in the first place....he stopped talking and looked at the ground he looked so focus .
"what was the reason??" I said to him and he shot his gaze back to me. "I signed on a paper that once you are old enough to marry, you would be married to drew your other cuzen. "What!!" I shouted at him.
"there is more....I found a lead that your uncle peter killed your grandfather" he said. "what??" ok now I am confused why would my uncle kill his father?? "I don't know if this is a right or not....this is the reason to why I became a spy..... so I can know who killed my father" he said to me really sad.
"this is crazy.....I feel like I am living in a fairy tale except it is not a fairy tale it is a nightmare" I said to him. This is unbelievable. " I need to take some air...." I said to him and got out of the house and started walking. I have no idea how I ended up in Tyler's shop. Once I entered the coffee shop, Tyler was not there but in the middle there was Shane and his friends sitting and waiting for something.
"Shane....." I said I didn't realize that I was crying. I went to him and hugged him while crying. I know I looked stupid but I didn't care. He was the only person who can help me and possibly tell me who I am.
"hey.....is everything ok??" he asked me while hugging me and I just shook my head. " come here...." Shane said "he told me the truth...." I said to him after I took a seat next to him and his friends.
"what did he say??" Shane said "God!!! I can't believe he lied to me all this time!.....i need you to tell me the truth now......I don't care if it is going to hurt me......I need to know who I am....." I said to him begging him to tell me everything he knows about me.
"ok umm I don't know anything about what happened to you in new york but I will tell you what happened when you where in Portland....." he stopped talking and looked at the floor. He looked really sad. God did I had a horrible life??
"for first your adopted....I don't know who your biological parents are sorry.....all what I know about you when you were a baby is that your mother brought you to our house and left without saying anything.....my father found you that is all what I know...." He said he tried to sound happy so I won't be sad but I don't thing it is working.
"umm I am your cuzen....also them...." he said pointing to the guys sitting next to us. Oh so they are not his friends then..." you were so happy with us.....you and I used to play a lot together when we were kids....everything was fine except for that one day that ruined your life....." he said then stopped and looked at the floor. He was so forced and he looked really sad. " w-w-what h-happened ??" I said to him shaking. I feel that what ever he is going to say I won't like it.
"your grandfather died in front of your eyes....." he said there was a tire threating to fall. "I know my father told me....promise me you won't tell anyone" I said to him looking everywhere if there was a person close to us or not. " about what??" Shane said looking serious.
"my father told me that my uncle killed my grandfather...." I whispered so only my three cuzens can hear me. " uncle peter?? He wouldn't do that....this is his father...." One of my cuzens said. "I know but my father...well he is a spy and....he told me he found a lead that connects the murder of my grandfather to uncle peter...." I told them.
"ok that can't be true...why would he want to kill his own father??" Shane said. "I don't know but I want to find out whether you guys are in or not" I said to them. They all were silent for a second then they all said they will help me find what happened in the day of my grandfather's death.
"so I never knew what are your names" I said to my other two cuzens. "umm right this is Nate..." Shane said pointing at the guy siting next to me he looked like he is 20 or so. He had dark black hair and dark brown eyes just like Shane. " he used to sometimes play with us when we were kids" Shane continued.
"and this is Jason..." he said pointing on the guy sitting next to Nate. He looked like he was 25 or something and he had dark brown hair and black eyes, he was totally different from Shane and Nate. "well lets say that even though you got your memory back you wont remember him cause he never was at home or near to us a lot, he always go out with dad to help him with work" Shane said.
I said hi to them then I remembered something and I looked at the floor. "what happened?? Are you ok??" Shane said "Shane...do you think I would remember everything ??" I said to him. "I am sure you will get back your memory soon....and if that nerve happened then we will all help you remember" he said to me smiling.
I don't know what happened to me but I felt like I knew him....that I never forgotten him from the way he acts around me but nothing comes back not a single memory of him or my past. I really need to remember so I can know what happened to my grandfather in the day he died.
"so why don't you come back to Portland with us??" Nate said pulling me out of my thoughts. "umm....I can't....I need to talk to my father first and deal with everything here then I might decide to leave and go to Portland" I said to him.
The truth is I really don't want to go to Portland because I am afraid that once I arrive to Portland all my memories will come back to me and I won't be able to handle it and collapse. But I really need to remember everything so I can know who I am. My father changed my whole identity and I don't know who I am anymore. God I don't even remember anything from my past.
"anyways I have to go now....wait where are you guys staying in??" I said to them. " hotel..." Jason said. "wait so you guys won't stay here for a long time??" I said to them but I was looking at Shane. I just found them I can't let them leave I need them. they are the only people I know that can help me with this memory lost.
"no don't worry...now that I found you I am not leaving your sight....you won't believe how many days I was searching for you...." Shane said. "why?? I mean why was I so important to you that you needed to find me that bad??" I said to him smiling.
"well....I will explain this to you later...." Shane said. He looked nervous but I did not force him to tell me. "ok then I have to go I will see you guys tomorrow ok??" I said to them. "ok..." Shane said then kissed me on my cheeks and I smiled to him before I left them.
