The unknown Hadid

what to do after the letter

The letter has changed everything. I went on my new iPhone 6 s and searched Yolanda foster , I can't believe who came up I look a bit like her , but why didn't she keep me ? I have so many questions!

I went to the gym and worked out for the next 3 hours , I love going to the gym this is my thinking time and I can take out all my anger out on the punching bags , why now ? Why when I finally feel accepted?

I go home to find my adoptive mother Amy making pancakes, she could never have children so that's why she and her husband Ben decided to adopt , I don't think that they could handle a screaming baby , so to replace a child Amy goes shopping at least 6 times a week. She has bought me really expensive things like the latest iPhone because she doesn't want me to get behind , for my birthday they got me an Audi R8 in matte white which is so nice , I love that car , it is mine and I feel like I deserve it , after being put on a doorstep by my mother when I was only days old I had been in the care system for 10 years then Ben and Amy found out that they couldn't have kids. It's kind of sad.

After having breakfast I get my swimming costume on , I think about how I am going to heron touch with my birth mother and I realise that all I need to do is to get her assistants email and email her and send a photo of the letter to her , she will hopefully show my birth mom.

I lay on the sun lounger and think what I am going to say maybe I should ring up ? I found the number and rang it
Beep beep
"Hello ! Yolanda fosters assistant speaking how may I help you ?
Um , hi may I please speak to yolanda foster please ?
Who is calling and what does it enquire about ?
Um it's lily preswich and I believe I am her daughter, I have found a letter that she has written herself
Um let me just speak to her "
Some music comes on for about 5 mins and then she picks up the phone again
" hi lily , she will speak to you now , I will put you through
Thank you "
The music comes on for a minutiae then gets picked up
"Hello " a woman's voice says
"Mom ? "
" oh my god I thought I would never find you " a woman replays
Can I meet you " I say
Where do you live , in the USA ?
I live on the outskirts of New York where do you live ?
Cali
I can fly to Cali if you want , I need to meet you
Oh my darling , I'm so sorry that I gave you up , you have two older sisters bella mad Gigi and a younger brother Anwar they don't know about you , no one does except for your father , we weren't ready for another child so we did what we thought was right I'm sorry lily" mom says
I just need to meet you and we can talk about this when we see each other "I reply
I can meet you whenever I will drop anything for you , look at some flights and let me know , here is my number --------------
Bye lily , I love you
I love you too mom

Oh my god , I just spoke to her , I was on autopilot already looking at flights to Cali , there is one tonight that leaves at midnight I run inside the house and get my credit card and book the flight , then I book a hotel room for when I arrive , I text Amy and say "hi , one of my friends have decided to go to Cali for a week or so not sure  how long but she has invited me so just to let you know that my flight leaves at midnight so I will be gone , I need a bit of girl time , we knew each other from school so she is like my best friend we just don't hang out any more , it should be a fun time x "
I hate lying but it's what's best for her because she will ask lots of questions that I don't even know the answer to . I get an instant reply she says " that's great lily , proud of you , get yourself out there  , I've had great holidays with all my girls in Cali as well , I will help you pack when I get home xx "

I plug in my earphones and can't help but smirk
