Can We Be Fixed?

Chapter 15- DNA Test

Layla and me walked hand in hand confidently into the station

Layla talked to a officer while I was taken to a room by a nice looking lady who was very gentle with me 

"I am going to do a DNA test okay sweetheart to see if you have any living family you can possibly stay with until your 18 and are legally allowed to leave"

"Okay"

The DNA test didn't take too long and she even gave me a lollipop, I swear I will never be too old for lollipops 

I happily licked the candy as Layla as the police man were having a long talk, after a while Layla's face lit up and she kept jumping up and down and thanking the police man

She ran to me and hugged me "You can stay with me Tay until the results come in a week or 2 and then they will consider if I can adopt you"

I began jumping up and down with her and wrapped her in a big hug ignoring my pain in my ribs and body, I was too happy to care about the cuts opening and bleeding again

After a while me and Layla walked out of the police station and she drove me back to her place

I felt her shake me gently indicating we were here

"Talia were home"

My face lit up.... Home... It had been a while since I felt at home, this was my home now with my new sister

She lead me in and began dancing while taking off her jumper, 

I laughed at her being silly and she insisted we make a cake to celebrate

So we spent the whole afternoon giggling and laughing as we made a mess in the kitchen and pelted flour at each other

I almost started crying, I was so lucky I had found Layla, I had found a sister and she loved me

"Hey Tay whats wrong?"

I hugged her tightly as she hugged me back with just as much affection and love

"Thank you for being the older sibling I never had, I can't tell you how grateful I am and-"

She cut me off "Hey there is no need to thank me, I should thank you, I have always felt something missing in my life and that was a sibling, You are now my little sister " with that she kissed my head gently before putting cake batter on my nose

"Hey!" I yelled and threw some at her, lets just say there was more batter on us then in the bowl so we cleaned up before eating ice cream instead

I found another Mint and choc chip Ice cream lover, It was honestly like we were supposed to be siblings,

I even looked like her, we had the same shade of green eye, and sort of the same face shape

I could finally feel at home with her, she took care of me and my injures and I opened up to her more, I told her more about the torture and she was there to wipe every single tear off my face and cheer me up

I considered telling her about my suspicions that they might of raped me but I decided not to bother her with that, Maybe she wouldn't want me anymore?

I spent the first week with her recovering and halfway through the second week I could see almost all my cuts either healed or scarred

We had so much fun together, we had sleepovers, karaoke nights and she took me out shopping and tried to buy me a phone but I wouldn't let her, 

Lay's had even bought a really expensive cream for my scars and they were fading really quickly, I didn't show her the I WILL FOLLOW THE RULES scar because I was too scared for some reason

I used the cream on it though but I knew it was going to be there maybe forever or many years because of how deep it was

The bruises on my back had almost disappeared and my face and body finally was getting more tanned and I looked like I never spent almost 3 weeks in a cell tortured

I occasionally had flashbacks and nightmares when I was sleeping but my sister always made sure to comfort me and I honestly don't know what I would do without her, 

I had become so close with her over the weeks that I called her my sister now, this was why the news broke me so much

What happened was me and Layla were in the kitchen joking around making food when Layla got a call for the DNA test results, I had already told her my dad was dead, My mom was the only child and so was my dad according to my mom,

And my grandparents had all died and I was the only child so there was no possible family apart from my mother....

 but she had actually been reported dead a couple of days ago, footage shows my mother going in to a building and then after 10 minutes it bursts into flames and the whole building is burnt to the ground before the firefighters can save her

I was shocked and upset because she was my mother and I loved her even though she hurt me and never really loved me. Layla helped me though and I no longer feel pain when I think of her, she never was a great mother anyway

Layla's face fell as she listen to the caller and then thanked them and turned to me and told me that the results were in and we should go into the station and refused to tell me what happened and drove to the station quickly

Which is why I am now in the passenger seat of Layla's car and we are both sitting in silence with the occasional sniffs from Lay like she is trying to hold in tears.

"Lay whats going on?"

"Just wait until we get to the station, you should hear it from the social worker instead" she sniffles

I stare at her "No I would rather hear it from my sister"

She sighs before saying "Has your mother ever mentioned you having any sibling?"

"No Layla.. why I told you this" I say confused 

"Are you sure Tay" Layla says very seriously 

"Yes you would think I would know if I had siblings... Why does this matter"

"That is the point it matters a lot"

We pull into the station and she walks into the station and the receptionist leads us to a room where a middle aged lady in her 40's is waiting

She seems us and smiles "Please come in sit"

She introduces herself to me and Layla saying her name is Daisy

"Talia your DNA test has come in and..." 

The next thing she says changed everything
