Enduring Pain

chapter 8

It was drake !

what is he doing here ???

i opened my door after he let it go and tried to act normal as possible as I can and i  quickly began thinking of an excuse for being here .

" DINA !! what are you doing here ? at the police station ?? " he sounded furious . oh   god !

" umm , well , you know , uh , yeah well Josh jasons' brother works here and iam here to visit him . " nice save dina . i mentally high fived my self . crazy much ?

" oh really he is here ? " he sounded happy   i knew he loved josh as a brother .

" well yeah " i hope he doesn't tell me he is going in with me to say hi !

" damn ! i want to get in with you to say hi , but i have something very important  "

" you mean a date ? " i smirked at him .

" shut up ! say hii to Josh , bye " he took off in his car very quickly before I ask him more about his " very important thing " .. my idiot brother .

but thank god he didn't enter in with me or i would have been in so much trouble . i don't need more on my already full plate.

I quickly found Josh waiting for me when I entered .

" hi dina , how are you ? "

" iam fine , how are u doing ? "

" good , i have some info , i hope they are enough "

" well thats good , u just need to write them down "

he handed me a paper and told me to fill the info in the right places . they weren't that alot of info . but i guess they are helpful .

he read them as i wrote them down and his eyes widened with hope . great ! Hope :) that's what I need in my life .

" what ? " i asked him feeling happy .

" you mentioned here that he used to work as the head of union workers in beirut , here , right ? "

" yeah ? "

" well , your mission is so easy , we can go to the building of the union workers and see some files about the old workers , or in your grandpas' case "bosses" , and look at his profile "

" that seems great to me ! can we go now ? " i began feeling hopeful .

" well yeah ofcourse we can , hey dany i will be out , but not For too long okay ? " he told some officer standing at the far end of the room .

" well yeah . I will cover for your shift " dany said .

and then we took off to our destination .

...................

" hii how can i help you ? " a middle aged man asked us .

" iam officer Josh and this is dina and iam here to get some info about David Brown "

" oh David Brown , he was the head of this place in the past years , why do you wanna know about him ? "

" just investigation " i answered before Josh , because i knew he doesn't know the answer because i didnt tell him yet .

" okay follow me " the middle aged man told us .

We followed him into some room , full of files and books , mostly dust , and he started searching for the right file .

After good 15 min . he found the file .

" here it is " he handed it to Josh but i took it from him .

i opened it and my grandpas' face appeared to my curious eyes , he looked just like my father . He seemed like a good  person .

I started flipping the few pages pinned together and my eyes caught what I needed . where they lived !

i wrote there adress down in my phone . and took  pictures for some things . If it wasn't for Josh i wouldn't be able to do a thing .

" thank u so much " me and Josh thanked the man .

" your welcome " he told us as we went outside and straight to the police station . 

we arrived and i kept thanking Josh for what he did over and over again until he forced me in my car to go .. great friend :)

i was nervous , really nervous , i should go to my grandparents house tomorrow or now ? I don't know . But i don't want to waste any time , so I decided to go now . It was an hour drive . not this far for me . so I texted my mom that i was at some friends house and began my journey  .

my hands were shaking , and thoughts began running in my head . Will they remember me ? What should I tell them ? Do they still love me ?

It was like a storm in my head , a windy storm to be exact !

but i needed to be cool . I started taking deep breathes in and out to calm myself and turned the radio on .

time flew by and i reached what seemed like a big white house with blue windows . it seemed Nice and modern . not an old one like i thought . my heart pumped in my chest , i thought it was going to burst out !

I reached the door and with shaky hand i  ringed the bell . a few seconds later the door flew open and an old lady opened the house to me , a pretty old lady , she had blue eyes and her hair was all white , and she was thin . but she looked beautiful .

" grandma ? "

she looked at me for a few seconds with focused eyes and then she screamed with her small voice .

" dina ? is that you ? "

she hugged me so tightly and i hugged back with the same force as we both started crying .

finally !

" come in dear " i entered the house and it was big but felt cozy at the same time . grandma defintly has a taste !

We sat in the living room and she stared at me with loving eyes .

" you grew up into a beautiful lady " she said smiling sweetly at me .

" thank you grandma "

and then her eyebrows knitted together in the middle to show confusion .

she is defintly wondering why iam here and where is my parents . and why I decided to visit her now after all these years .

there is alot to tell and alot to ask .

I told her everything that happened . and i saw fear in her blue eyes and sadness also  . she didn't say a thing . Just stared at me . She seemed afraid to talk . As if she would say something that will leave me speechless too . I was afraid of the truth now . but i needed to know .

" grandma , why dad hid the truth that you are my- "

" dina the truth is so hard " she said holding my hands .

" but i need to know , it's the right time . i will not wait anymore " i pleaded her with my teary eyes .

" you are Jackson and veronicas' brown daughter "

" brown ? veronica ? jackson ? " they sounded so foreign rolling on my tongue . 

so iam not mike and marrys' daughter ! They are not my real parents ! seriously ! but how come they are from the same last name . I wanted to talk but words got stuck in my mouth . I wanted to ask so much questions but I couldn't utter a single word  

" dina ! " my grandma shook me  . but i was like a statu , i felt like the room turned into a roller coaster spinning so fast and I hit the cold floor !

note

some things are being revealed .. but its not the full truth ! so much things are still hidden ! Stay with me . and thank u again for the ones who are reading my story :)
