Unexpected (Angelina Jolie)

Chapter 8. Unwanted

I'm woken up by two loud knocks at my bedroom door. But I don't answer instead I just ignore them. I don't really feel like talking to anyone right now, I just want to be on my own.  Then I hear another two knocks, but louder. Agh Fine I'll answer! I mumble in to my pillow a "yes?"

"Can I come in Soph?" It's Lucy. She will want answers and I'm not ready to tell them. At least not after what happened in class today. There are only two people I want to talk to right now and that's mum and Jason.

"No, I just want to be on my own" The feeling in my heart is horrible. I have never told Lucy - my best friend - to leave me alone.

Being Lucy she opens my bedroom door anyway and walks over to my bed before she sits down on the end of it. She tucks a little bit of my loose hair behind my ear.

"You've been crying" Lucy says (stating the obvious). I don't respond to the comment. I have no words for her.

"What happened in art today?" She just has to ask doesn't she. She couldn't just come up to me and say "Want to get ice cream?". 

Beep Beep

I look down at my phone and see a message from Jason.

Things will get better. You don't need to tell anyone about Angelina if you don't want to. Never feel pressure to do anything you don't want to. I'm always here :) - Jason x

"Okay, 1. Who's Jason and 2. What does he mean? You don't have to tell anyone about Angelina? Who's Angelina?"

I slam my phone onto my bed screen facing down. Although I don't know what I'm hiding because she just read the message that hold my whole secret. Lucy gives me an angry look.

"I can't tell you" I mumble.

"Sophie, we are best friends and you can't tell me? We always tell each other everything." The disappointment runs through her voice.

"I just look down at my feet. I don't know what to say. Should I tell her or not? If I do how am I going to say it? This is such a difficult and personal subject.  But she's my best-friend.

"Fine, don't tell me Soph, I'm leaving" Lucy gets up and walks over to my bedroom door.

"I'm adopted!" I shout. Tears stream down my face.

"You're Adopted?"

You see this is what annoys me about Lucy. She hears something loud and clear yet makes out she didn't hear.

Saying I'm adopted was so painful, But it was either that or loose my best-friend.

"You heard me" I sob. Lucy runs over to my bed and embraces me in a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Everything makes sense now. You should have just told me" Lucy's tone is very comforting.

"I thought you would judge me" I wipe the tears away from my red and swollen face. 

I feel a weight lift off of me. No more secrets. At least from the people I love most.

2 weeks later:

"I'm Going to miss you, you better text me everyday! Oh and say hi to Brad from me!" Lucy gives a little wink.

"Do you have to leave again?" I turn to my mother. She is stood in-front of me. I can see her trying to keep her tears back, I say nothing instead I just give her a huge hug before whispering "I love you" Into her ear.

Back to LA for me...

Walking out of LAX I expect to see Angelina stood with open arms. Instead I see Jason with open arms.

I can't believe her! She couldn't even be bothered to pick me up from the air port?

"Um? Sophie?" Jason questions.

"Oh, sorry I was deep in thought. Where's Angie?" I ask giving Jason a hug.

"She asked me to meet you here because she had major stuff that needs doing for her new film." Jason says.

She ditched me for work. Just like when she gave up on me as a baby. I would have thought she would be trying her best to get me to forgive her. But right now I'm just angry. How could she?

"What about Brad where is he?" I ask.

"Um, I'm not sure. I think he is out with the kids."

Are you serious? Not even brad could pick me up? He could bring the kids with him. Suddenly I feel sick. That feeling of being unwanted comes over my body. It's a feeling I can't describe. 

"Oh no!" I shout before running over to the nearest trash can and throw up.

Jason runs over to me and holds my hair back.

"You okay Soph? I think you need to get home" He puts his arm around me holding me up. If he lets go I'm sure to fall to the ground because I feel so weak.

Jason walks me into my bedroom and helps me get into bed. He then walks out.

I pull out my phone to check for any messages.

I hope you had a good flight - Mum xxx

A smile appears on my pale face. It doesn't last long as I then come across a message from Angelina.

Text me when you get home. Sorry I could't pick you up but I was needed at work. I want a cuddle when I get home - Mom xxxx

As soon as I see what she puts at the end I throw my phone through the air and it smashes on the floor.

She will never be my mother. Ever!

Jason then walks through the door and puts a glass of water on my bed side table.

He goes to sit down next to me but I push him away.

"Don't. You can go now" My voice is cold. I turn my back on him. Tears appearing in my eyes once again. Everything is too much...
