Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 17

Bree's p.o.v.

"Benjamin, Breeanna, you two are twins. You guys were to young to remember this, but at the hospital some woman and her husband kidnapped you Bree." She said.

"We're what?" I asked.

"You guys are twins." Dad said. "We're your real family."

I looked at Hayes and he looked at me. "Why didn't you guys tell us before? Or at least told me?" He asked.

"We didn't want you guys to know until later." Mom said. "Nash knew about it but he was only 2 so he doesn't remember much. Will was 4 so he remembers it the most."

"That's why you said 'you're okay' when you first met me?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"How did you guys know I was put up for adoption?" I asked.

"We did everything we could to trace you down, to see when the right time was to confront them and take you back." Mom said.

"But it was hard. And we knew who the two who took you were. Old friends." Dad said. "Zayn and Monica Long."

"Yeah that was my parents name." I added.

"Yeah. And then we read in the newspaper that they died in a car accident and the teenage girl they had was going to foster care." Dad continued.

"So we looked up every foster care home in California that we could think of but that was going to take forever. Since the accident was on the highway we look up cities near that freeway and found Ontario foster homes, with a teenage girl named Breeanna Long there." Mom explained.

"So we called and said we wanted to adopt you asap." Dad finished.

"There was no way you guys could do all of that by yourself." I said.

"Yeah. But one of my friends is a secret agent so I asked him if he could help us do research and find you." My dad said.

"And we weren't going to quit until we found you. No matter. How hard it got." Mom said.

"But if you knew who the kidnappers were why didn't you just call the police and tell them about it? So they could arrest them?" Hayes asked.

"We wanted to face them ourselves. Like we said, they were old friends, people we could trust and we wanted to catch them being backstabbing liars." Dad explained.

"Bree, I never thought I'd see you again." Will said.

"So Hayes's birthday is actually my birthday?" I asked.

"Or Bree's birthday is actually my birthday?" Hayes asked.

Everyone laughed, "you two have always though alike since you got here Bree." Mom said. "But you have Hayes's birthday Bree. June 8th, 1999"((btw I know Hayes was actually born in 2000)).

"So I'm already 16?" I asked.

"Yes." Dad said.

"Nash is this why you said we kinda look alike?" I asked. He nods.

"So my whole life has been a complete lie? The people I thought was my parents weren't really my parents and the people I thought were my friends the 6 months I was in the foster home weren't really my friends. The 6 people I trusted the most before o got here were all lying to me? Then you guys keep secrets from me? Wow my life just keeps getting better and better!" I yelled then ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door.

I get out my phone and start tweeting. 'My whole life>>>a complete lie!' .. 'Didn't think everyone would keep such a big secret from me.' .. 'Someone text or call me or come see me, I need someone to talk to.'
