Last two days me and Cindy was siblings bonding we was sitting outside by the ducks pond with Jonas Cindy a year older then me Cindy watches Jonas because Mrs Taylor pays her like $40 to watches him when they go outta town
You don't get out much do she said
Rick has his own group of friends out here if was in the city I wouldn't be boring or just sitting here by myself
Oh she said I'm not complaining I'm struck at dads anyways for few days that grounded besides cleaning out mr donarld whole backyard
Yeah that be awful especially because it's so hot out
No she said I like it it's just he very picky how he wants his house and yards to be he's neat freak
Tell me about it no don't I'm just joking we both laugh
So Cindy how are you my sister but living with your foster parents I ask idk why it's just pop up outta nowhere I knew Jonas was my half brother but I didn't know how she was
She said digging though he purse for lollipop she gave one to him since he snatched hers from his hand
Truthfully I had to learn out myself that max was my dad he just show up to my foster mom house one day in the afternoon he was friends for while with my foster dad he never knew that foster dad had me it wasn't until aunt Betsy told him
Wait auntie Betsy that my mom sister what she does she know about you
Idk Mickey she told me that was my dad I was 6 years old when I found out except my foster parents have open adoption he visit and I visit him especially you know during the summer he didn't want to fight the court because we all live in this same neighborhood that be pointless
Yeah but it's odd aunt Betsy knows about you
Idk Mickey I'm not going to say more maybe I should be quiet if dad haven't. Told you maybe it's best that I don't
Cindy not a bad thing it's good knowing I had sibling I always thought I was a brat because I was only child but I guess not I'm just curious why I never knew you until now boy this summer is crazy
I'm say I'm your sister I'm year older my birthday is on Halloween I'm in 9 grade
Cool I said my birthday is 3 days after Christmas
Did you know Jonas birthday is in august isn't that right Jonas
Right he said finishing his Lolipop
What's that Jonas said pointing to something in Cindy purse she had candy vape pen money id and Hugh write piece of paper in her pocket bag the paper was sticking out so it made it hard to zip close the small purse my birth certificate I'm trying to get a job
Just not at the mall because you stole from there
Yeah but that wouldn't be good ideas
Wait he said those your birth record tell you who your parents is
Jonas my man he spoke half the time but they wasn't logical thinking sentences Jonas my sister I thought you can't hear one ear
He's pointed to his head he had hearing device in his ear moms got me this he said he still spoke clearly and knew sign language but he's 4 so of course he's got distracted but he made sense when he said that sooo I said since you got birth certificate let me see it ? She pull it out her bag you can't be mad at me or at dad for anything only I can but I'm learning to heal on on my own terms ok I said just let me see your making things more difficult then it was
She handed it to me i had made copy of my record and this paperwork in my bag for weeks I only had it because I ask my foster parents if I can get a job for the summer I took it from her did you fill any applications out yet. Yes she squealed I signed application for the movies theater I looked at the paper
What I saw shook me it's said Cindy elizebeth Jones original parents to max and Anastasia jones my parents was married at one point of time then it said Cindy jones legal guidance and by her foster parents so this isn't a original but copy I said Betsy has the original birth certificate
I hugged her and gave her forehead kiss well kiddo I said yours all mine and mines Jonas said he gave her kiss on her forehead too
Maybe in august when I go home you can come visit me and see Anastasia
Idk if she going to accept me she said sadly I seen her few times before but never just because though court dates yes but not on holidays I seen my dad more then her
Yeah I said and I said mom more then dad it wasn't until this summer I saw dad before this I saw him few times like 3 if I counted right now look at me I finding out I had 2 siblings
Yes she said I think I knew about Jonas before you
So this doesn't only affect you it effects me and Jonas as well if I can see dad now maybe you can see mom ..mom dating someone new who has other kids
I don't thinks that easy even dad has a hard time with getting me for vacations and holidays my foster parents have upper hand on that but dads friends with Joel so that made things for easy for dad and me

I know you shouldn't be afraid to get to know your birth mom she cool once you know her ...I insisted she begins to cry you don't know how happy I'm be I haven't seen her in long time. I don't think she knows I exist she sobbed

It's okay we all gotta go though things and we all gotta grow up heal ourselves mom probably have her reasons why she gave you up but doesnt mean she don't love you.
Although in my head I would think why dad never told her where she was located so she could visit or take her

Yeah I know she said breaking my train of thought but what if she gets upset about seeing me or mad that I know who she is
Idk but we gotta find out soon we accept you but I'm sure mom will too
You got us now and dad yes she said always and forever
Forever Jonas said as she gave little man a hug
Suddenly Rick came running up the hill Hershey was barking running up to greet us we followed down the hill towards them giggling and laughing like the song running up the hill there you guy was I was looking all over for you
Why what's so important that you had to run up out here to get us
Is dad home yet
No he said but we got a problem very big problem
