Who Am I Really

Chapter 9

      When my parents told me i was adopted i lost it i was completely in shock but not as shocked as i thought because i never looked like my parents or my brother or sister. The family i had was white and i didn't look white i looked Hispanic. Everyone always told me you don't look like anyone in your family and i didn't pay mind because i thought i  looked like my grandparents. I was still shock because my who life has been a lie. I couldn't look at my parents or even if i should call them that. they tried to talk to me but i didn't want to listen i wanted to find out who my real parent were. That is all i could think of and my frustration and i couldn't handle it on top of everything that was going on. The only thing i could ask them is why they didn't tell me before. They said they didn't tell me because they didn't want to loose me. i asked them who were my real parents are before they told me they told me i had a sister and her name was Mairanyeli. Then they told me that i showed them a picture of my best friend Marianyeli. I asked them if this was her and they told me yes. 

   I couldn't believe that my best friend was my sister. When we first meet i knew there was a connection but i dint think it was anything. The thing was that e looked alike like excalty e looked like twins. We were both 18, 5'5, brown hair with natural blond highlights, and we both had green eyes. The last thing i asked them as did she know and they told me yes. they told me that our mom just told her today. They kept in contact with my mother. They said she anted to see me but they didnt let her and that she used to write to me but they never gave me the letters and finally they told me her name and her name is Elena Santos and my fathers name is Sam Santos. After they told me everything i told them to leave that i needed time to wrap everything around me head. After they left i call my step-sister and my step-brother and i told them off and i told they THANK GOD IM NOT YOUR SISTER I CANT STAND EITHER OF YOU GUYS I NEVER LIKED YOU. That was they last time we talked after that i remember Marianyeli said i could go to her house when ever i need to clam down but she was in her moms house and i had her text me the address. 

      i grabbed my car keys and my jacket and left before i left i just sat in my car and just thought to myself was "i ready to meet her what is she like why did she give me up?" and i knew i needed to get my answers so i left. As soon as i got there i saw Marianyeli sitting on the pouch waiting for me as soon as i saw her i couldn't hold it in anymore i just started to cry. We sat on the pouch until we stopped crying then we went inside. When we went inside i saw a picture of two baby girl and i asked her who are those two girls and she told me that was us. She looked at me and gave me a smile and i gave her one back. We walked to the living room and i heard people talking and when i looked i saw them and i look just like them. I started to cry and my biological parents hugged me and so did my twin and the only thing that i said is "IM FINALLY HOME WITH MY FAMILY" I never saw Marianyeli cry so much in my life. After we hugged we sat on the sofa and Marianyeli sat next to me and our parents sat right in front of of us.  My mom told me i could ask them anything and they would tell me the truth. So the first thing i asked her is why she gave me up. She told me that when she gave birth to Marianyeli and me that i came out sick and the doctors told her i wasn't going to make it. She also told me that they came to visit me everyday but one day she told me i got worse so they had to transfer me to a different hospital so another doctor could try and help me. They sent me to Ohio. So they moved over there be closer to me. It took them time to get everything in  order.  5 months later i was getting better but the doctor told her i couldn't go with my mom because they thought she couldn't take care of me. So the doctors put me in a foster home. So that's when my adopted parents took me in with they. Finally that's when your sister came to us and told us about you and they we knew it was you. We called you adopted parents to tell you. We were looking for you and we finally found you and now this family is complete. By the time she finished i was in tears and was so happy to be with my real family.
