A Forbidden Love

Chapter 24

Jasmines POV
I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was on a cot. In a makeshift looking hospital. Goyo was the first thing I saw. I smiled and blushed. He has stayed here beside me for goodness knows how long. And from my foggy hazy memories I remember him being the one who saved me. I'm pretty sure he saved Maria too. I looked over to my left and saw Maria lying on a cot next to mine. Both of us were covered in ashes and soot and dirt. We both had some burns and we both were hooked up to a drip and we both had an oxygen mask. More than likely because of all the smoke we had breathed in. I stroked his hair gently careful not to wake him and smiled. He was laying on my cot and from the looks of it he had my hand intertwined in his. I appreciated it. I needed someone. I was all alone. I didn't have parents. But I did have Maria and I had hinata. And now I have Goyo quite possibly too now. I then spied an envelope sitting next to my bed on my little wooden table next to my cot. It was addressed to me. In what looked like a woman's handwriting. It was too neat to be a guys. I opened it up and pulled out the sheets of paper. It had some lab results it looked like and also a letter.

My dear Jasmine,

There is something you should know... It's about your parents... They never abandoned you sweetie... They just.. Could never find you.. You see 19 years ago approximately you were stolen from your parents. It was three months later after you were born that your parents found out that they were going to have another child. Your mother and father were so happy and excited. They loved you since the day you were born. And your sister too. We have always all had a special connection. We couldn't put our fingers on it but these test results show us the answer. The reason behind our special connection. You are our daughter Jasmine. And we are your mother and father. We never stopped looking for you. One day when we came upon an orphanage in town we saw this adorable little five year old girl that looked like the baby we lost ... when you were stolen. We had suspicions that it was you and over the years after we took you home and raised you along side your sister and yall became the bestest of friends.. And then we got the lab results back from the DNA tests did we know the truth. That you were our daughter. I'm sorry we didn't find out sooner and that we didn't tell you anything.. We shouldn't have kept something like this from you.. I would have told you in person later the next day tomorrow but all of this happened. And if something were to happen to me I wanted you to know the truth about your history and your parents. You deserve the truth. I'm sorry once again. And I love you very much. Your father and I both. We never stopped loving you. Even when we were separated. We still kept loving you. And now that we have found each other I am glad we can all finally be a family again. A complete family. No more secrets. And no more lies. That is what kept us apart. We love you Jasmine.
Love ,
Mom

I read it three times and rubbed my eyes. Was I seeing things. Did I have a letter from my mother in my hands with the DNA test results telling me who my family is. Who my sister is. Who my mother and father is. Where I really am truly belong. I now understood what hinata meant about the whole bitchslapped thing. I felt as if I had just been bitch slapped myself. Everything I had ever known was a lie that his a huge secret. In nineteen years they never found the time to tell me this. Or find out sooner. I snatched the DNA tests results from the envelope and scanned the paper until I found out what I wanted to know.

DNA test results-
Test subject- Jasmine de la rosa
Father- Lord Hanzo
Mother- Empress Jade
Sister- Princess Hinata
So you know these test results are 100% correct. If you have any questions about your lab results please call this number. We hope we have answered all your questions. Have a great day. And congrats on finding out something from your past. Hope you are happy with the results. :)

The little caption under the results read. I pressed the papers over my face and breathed in and out my mouth. I just found my mother. My father. My family. Everything I have ever thought about myself is just a damn lie. And my parents kept my own past a secret from me. This is crazy bs.
Just then Goyo woke up and stretched. His eyes were sleepy and geology but then they bugged open. Wide and alert now. "Oh my goodness! Jasmine! Your alright! Thank goodness! Your okay!" He said kissing my hand that was still in his. I blushed at the gesture and said,"thanks.. Umm..." He was about to reply when I saw Yoshitsune run into my room with hinata unconscious in his arms cradled against his chest. What in the hell happened to my sister. She looked so tiny and weak in his arms. "You need to come with us now! Don't ask questions! Just come on!" I nodded and stood up but then when I took a step I nearly fell down but Goyo caught me in his arms. Our eyes locked in that moment and our faces were inches apart as he helped me back up to my feet. "Are you alright??" I nodded sheepishly as I gazed into his big brown chocolate eyes. He swung His arms under my knees and around my waist and said,"I'll carry you.. It sounds urgent and we need to get there immediately..." I nodded and yanked off the oxygen mask I didn't even realized I still had on and yanked out the needle in my arm and ripped off al the heart monitor crap on my chest. In fine now. God dang. Leave me alone with all this injured crap. I thought annoyedly as Goyo ran after Yoshitsune with me in his arms. I blushed as I pressed my head against his chest and sighed. He was my escape. From the stress, drama, pain, and hurt. He was my calm. He was all I needed right now. When Goyo turned into a room and set me down in a chair his shoulder was blocking my view and I didn't see who's room we were in. But when I did and I saw how weak and pale she was and that her heart was getting slower by the minute tears welled up in my eyes. No! I just found you! I can't lose you! I slumped back in the chair and felt goyos hand place itself on my shoulder. He was giving me strength. An anchor. Something to hold on to. I clutched his hand tightly in mine as I looked over to see hinata had woken up and was holding her- I mean our mothers hand in hers. Tears were streaming down her face and Yoshitsune was kneeling down beside hinata. Holding her free hand and allowing hinata to lay her head on his shoulder as she cried. I saw my mother turn to face me as she gave me a weak smile and said,"my baby girls.. Finally together at last... I'm so happy..." She said tiredly. She yawned as if she were going to sleep and closed her eyes. Now she is at peace. I watched with dread as the heart monitor flatlined. I let go of my mothers hand and stood up. I needed to get out. I needed away. I needed- my thoughts were interrupted when I felt goyos arms pull me into his chest and allowed me to cry into his chest. I just found my mom. And now I have just lost her. I would have been happy had this not just happened what with me losing my mom, but I'll take what I can get. I buried my face in his chest as I sobbed out all the pain anger and sadness in my entire being as he held me in his arms and rubbed my back murmuring my name sweetly. He picked me up into his arms again and carried me back to my room and sat down in a chair still holding me. And soothing me. Until finally my sobbing had stopped and sleep had taken its place. I was at peace in goyos arms and I felt safe and happy just in the moment. But I knew that once I woke up again. I would have to deal with everything that had just happened. And I dreaded it.
