I'm Looking For You(One Direction)

Ch. 13 The Truth

¤ Laura P.O.V.¤

"Um wow that's... Oh child what have you done. Um she's right. You aren't her blood cousin. Your not her cousin at all really." My aunt says

"But your my aunt." I say confused

"Well, no I'm not."

"What do you mean?"

"I am your aunt, but not really," She thinks of something. "Um do you have a picture of all my sisters and brothers?"

"Yes" I respond confused.

"Can you please get it?" I nod my head and grab it from one of my photo albums. I hand the picture to her.

"Okay now look at the picture. Does anything seem odd?"

"No"

"Okay, um look at all the faces. Now is there anything odd?"

"Well you're the only one who is white and you don't really look like any of them."

"Yes now there is a reason for that." She says. I nod for get to continue. "Can you get a picture of you with all your cousins?"

I get up and grab the album again and take out the picture with all my cousins minus Zayn, Doniya, Waliyha, and Safaa. My aunt takes out a picture of the four and puts it next to my picture.

"Okay now look at all your cousins, do they all look somewhat alike?"

"Um, well no. Not Zayn and them." I say. "And me too.

"Well I'm about to tell you the reason," she took a deep breath. "I was adopted."

"What?"

"I was adopted, that's why my children and me don't resemble the family."

"Well what about me?"

"Um, see this is really hard to say."

"Just say it please?" I plead

"Okay um. Look at this picture" she holds up a picture of my dad, mum and me. "Now look at this picture" she holds up a picture of her, my dad, and me. "Notice anything?"

I stare at the pictures, but don't see anything. I shake my head. She sighs.

"Do you know why you have a british accent?" Anne says. 'Omg I almost forgot about her.' I shake my head again.

"Well, I was adopted overseas and brought to the states. I was raised her for majority of my life. My real parents abandoned me because they didn't have enough money to support a child." My aunt paused

"When I was old enough I left back to England and found my parents who were sorry that they gave me up. I went to visit your mom many times, I even stayed in the states for another year. I'm the person who introduced your dad and mum. Your father and me were very close, before your dad and mum met... Your father and me were a couple. Then we broke it off, that's when they met. They started going out and then I found out some news. I was pregnant, with you. Your dad is your actual dad, but not your mum."

I began to hyperventilate, "What no that's not possible."

"Yes it is, I wasn't ready for a child. Your dad wanted you and so I kept you and gave birth to you on March 31st, 1992. I gave full custody to your dad and my sister became your mum, all of your siblings aren't even blood only by marriage really. I left and found Yasser and Doniya. Our relationship went very fast. I soon became pregnant with Zayn. He was born only 10 months after you.Then I had Waliyha. I did go to your 3rd birthday, I needed to see my child." She took a deep breath then continued.

"After your birthday my own sister told me to never come again. I wrote letters and sent money. I took responsibility of you. No one knows about you other than your mum, dad, Anne, Yasser, and me. Not even Doniya or your actual brother and 2 sisters know." She ends.

"Wait so you mean to tell me that your my biological mother. My dad is my actual dad, but the woman who had raised me isn't my actual mother." I say raising my voice a little.

"That exactly what she's saying" Anne says.

"And you knew about this as well?" I question. She nods.

"So Zayn, Waliyha, AND Safaa are my half-siblings?"

"Yes" my aunt... My mother says?

Then I stayed to freak out.

"How could you keep this from me?!" I yelled

"I couldn't tell you until now." My aunt, uh mum's voice began to shake.

"And how could you too?" I yelled at Anne

"I'm sorry, I'm not really in the position to tell you this." She told me calmly

"I can't believe it. I actually thought ugh. And you, argh. I can't do this! Get out the both of you."

"No sweetie" my mother said.

'This has to be total BS' I told myself

"Get. Out." I hiss

"Hun, don't do this" Anne tries to compromise.

I blow up all the rage in me. "No! Don't you call me that. You both have no right to call me that! Get out. Now!" Then I say, "before I make you." Through clenched teeth.

Both women get of my couch and walk to my door in tears. Once their out I through my photo album across the room. I grab all pictures with my family and hide them.

'They are all full of lies! No one is actual family in these pictures.'

'The lady I've known all my life as my aunt is actually my mother. the woman who I called my mum is actually my step-mother/aunt.'

The next thought scared me

'My own father lied to me all these years?'

:O Ooh snap who saw that coming? Anybody? Nope. Well now you know. Crazy shiz is happening.

How is Laura going to confront her dad? Her mum? Her actual mum? Zayn? How is Zayn going to react to this? What about Waliyha and Safaa?
