 i walk over to my bed and lay down it and as soon as i hit my bed the door opens. shawn walks in looking at my walls. i have pictues of me and my dad. and me and my step dad. my mum and my brother and all of my friends. i have pictures of one direction and 5 seconds of summer and taylor swift.and of course,shawn mendes. '' you feeling okay?'' he asks sitting down on the bed next to me.

''yea i guess''

'' did you take your meds?''

''no''

''do i really have to be like a mum to you?''

''no i just don't feel like taking them right now''

'' maya, look if you dont take them then you may have to go back to the doctor and i know you don't want that'' lately I've been getting really mad migraines and i had to spend a couple nights in the hospital.

''i know, i know. can you hand them to me'' i ask

he gets up off the bed and walks over to my dresser and stops. he grabs a picture off of the dresser and looks at it. then he looks up at me with a sad look. he grabs my meds and walks over to my bed and sits back down and hands my the picture. its of me and a woman. and i was maybe 2. she has brown hair and hazel eyes. i realize i have never seen this picture before and it wasn't on my dresser before i got home from MAGCON I run my fingers over the frame feeling every little detail.. I take a closer look at the woman.I resemble her a lot... she can't be my mom, a aunt maybe? I get up and walk into the living room where my parents are. "Mom?" I ask sitting down across from her

"Yes sweetie?" She says with a smile.

"Who is this lady? And why was the on my dresser?"

" I thought that you should know the truth... of who you really are" she says looking in the eye.

"I still don't understand" I say... i sit down on the love seat and lean  back not noticing that Shawn is sitting next to me.

" me and you're dad have wanted to tell you this, you are old enough to know.... Maya, you're adopted"

My breath is caught in my throat. I can hardly believe what I just heard... I'm adopted??   all thoughts stopped except for what i just heard.... "your adopted" it keeps going through my miind over and over and over. i do even know if this is real, if I'm dreaming. i guess i never knew who i was. I'm not the person i thought i was......
