"Now that you are moving out, we thought we would tell you... you're adopted," my mom said, holding my dad's hand. "Wha..." is all I could day. Every memory I had of growing up was with them. I sat there with my mouth agape. "Well, who are my real parents?" I finally said. "We aren't sure, we met them a long time ago, but we do know they live in the UK," my mom replied.
"Miss can I see your ticket?" the train attendant said, pulling me back to reality. "Erm, yeah," I said, pulling out my train ticket and handing it to her. She clipped it with a hole punch and gave it back to me, "We will be arriving in 30 minutes!" I nodded, "Thanks." I took out my phone and saw I had 3 new messages, one from mom, one from dad, and one from my best friend, Skyler. My mom and dad's were the normal every 30 minutes 'Are you okay?' Skyler's said, 'Heyyy! So are you going to move to the UK, cuz if you are... you are taking me! Love yahhh muwahh!' I responded, 'Duh if I live here I have to take you with me! Love ya too! I'll call you later!' I looked outside my window and saw a blur of green valleys, not at all how I pictured Cheshire.
The train came to a stop and I exited to a small train station. I looked around and counted 3 people. I approached the ticket booth for help, "Can you tell me how to get here?" I said, handing her a note with my REAL mother's address on it. She wrote down very specific directions and handed me my paper. "Thank you very much," I said walking away. I followed the directions and sure enough I arrived at the address. I walked up the few stairs that led me to the front door. I knocked and waited no more than 10 seconds. "Anne Cox?" I shakily said. She never replied, just enveloped me in a hug. I could see the tears in her eyes when she saw me. "Come in, come in!" she said motioning me to come inside, "Would you like any tea?" "No thank you," I kindly responded. She got herself a cup and sat down next to me on the couch.
"I couldn't believe my ears when that detective called saying you were trying to locate me! I always wanted to meet you when you were older, but never thought I would!" Anne said, wiping a tear. "Well, I didn't know I was adopted, until last year," I said, holding back tears. "You have to tell me your name!" Anne said, smiling. "It's Brooke," I replied. I never really liked my name. I wish I had a cool name like Ciara or Savannah, but no. "What a beautiful name!" Anne replied. "Thanks," I shyly said. "Well, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like. There is a guest room just down the hall!" Anne said, pointing to the hall. "Okay," I said, smiling.
I made my way down the hall. I opened the first door on my right. "This obviously isn't my room..." I mumbled. I looked around, I saw a simple boy's bedroom. I glanced at the picture on his desk, a boy with a cheeky grin (much like mine), brown curly hair and he was wearing a purple 'Jack Willis' swear shirt and had his arm around Anne. "That's your brother," Anne said, causing me to jump and drop the picture, "Your twin brother actually." I was speechless, "I have a twin?" "Yeah, he should be home later tonight, late thought," Anne said. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be snooping," I said, picking up my bags. "Its okay, I can't blame you for making a mistake, you don't know your way around this house yet," Anne said, opening the guest room door for me. I walked in, a big bed, one dresser, closet, mirror and a window out looking to the street. I sat my bags down and sat on the bed. "Dinner will be ready at 6:30!" Anne said, leaving. 'Who else could be coming?' I thought.
I got out my laptop and logged onto Facebook and Skype. Skyler was online, so I requested a Skype, which she accepted, of course. "Hellllllooooo!" she said. "Hiiii!" I replied with a big smile. "Sooo how is England?" Skyler asked, eating a Gobstopper. "How dare you eat those in front of me and its going good so far. But I was trying to find the guest room and walked into my TWIN brother's room... he looked really familiar from the picture I saw," I replied. "Did you meet him?" Skyler replied. "No, An... erm... my mom said he would be home late tonight," I said. "Any other siblings?" Skyler asked. "Not that I know of, but dinner is soon, maybe I will meet more..." I said. "Cool!" Skyler replied. "I've got to go for dinner, bye! I'll call later!" I said, ending the Skype. I made my way to the kitchen to see a dark haired girl sitting at the kitchen table.
