Chapter 15- The truth

Saza P.O.V

I walked into Sam's house and went into the living room to see Sam and my brother Jack. I ran up to him and hugged him, he hugged me back hitting my bruises by accident. I didn't move. I hadn't seen him in months. We pulled away. Jack was my older brother, he was a twin but when I was six my other brother died of pneumonia.

I punched his shoulder. "Where the hell have you been?" I asked. Tears were forming in my eyes.

"Hiding, especially after Mum and Dad died. Did they tell you that you were adopted?"

"Y-Yeah. Why?"

"They told me the same to."

"You are as well?"

"Yeah. We are still brother and sister. Apparently our real mum and dad died as well." I felt the tears in my eyes start to sting.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah that's what mum and dad told me. Anyway how are you? Sam told me about what happened when we were at the funeral."

"Why didn't you come down then?" I said playfully punching his arm.

I guess I was scared." He admitted. Jack looked behind me. He whispered in my ear. "Is he looking after you?" I instantly knew what he meant.

"Yes." I replied. Jack nodded.

"Oh I have something for you." Said Jack passing me a bag. "Its from the funeral."

I looked at the bag. "I will go upstairs and look at it." I said. I walked past Russell and grabbed his hand so that he followed me up to my room.

We both sat on my bed. I looked at the bag not knowing what to do.

"Saza you should probably open it." Russell said in a soothing voice.

"I-I'm scared to open it."

"Open it. It will be fine." He said. With his words I opened the bag. I notice a envelope with my name on. I opened it and read it.

'Dear Saza,

Hopefully by now you should know that you are adopted. We don't mean that in a mean way. You were a month old when your parents passed away. We brought you up and looked after you. We loved you like you were our children. I do hope you see us as your parents. Pleased don't let this upset you. We love you Saza.

Love mum and dad.'

Tears poured form my eyes. I looked in the bag. There was a big box. I opened it. There was a small box inside, I opened it which revealed my mums engagement ring. I slipped it on my finger, on my right hand. I looked at the rest of the stuff in the box. It had money, jewellery and a photo of me, mum and dad when I was about four.

Tears were now streaming down my face. Russell pulled me closer to him. He held me close ad I cried.

"Shhh Saza." His voice was sooting.

Russell P.O.V

Saza was clearly upset. I guess it was a lot for her to take in. I stroked her hair in an attempt to soothe her. She started shaking. "Saza darling try to be calm. Remember you have plenty of people who love you."

"I know." She said. "Russell I want to go back home with you. I need you."

"Ok. I will pack your stuff while you try to calm down." Saza nodded.

Saza P.O.V

There was a knock at the bedroom door. "Come in." I said. The door opened to reveal Jack.

"You alright?" He asked. I nodded he came in and sat on the bed, next to me. "I'm going home soon. Will you be alright?"

"I'll be fine Jack. I always am." I replied.

"I know. Oh and by the way I have your DVD's you left at mum and dad's." He said passing me a carrier bag containing my DVD's. I opened the bag. It had my Russell Howard DVD's, Mock the week, Jon Richardson: Funny magnet and Lee Evans DVD.

"Thanks Jack." I said hugging him. We pulled away. He stood up and walked over to Russell.

"Please take care of her. She is the only bit of family I have left."

"I will. I will keep her safe." Russell said.

"Thanks." Jack started to walk out of the bedroom. He turned to me. "See you soon Saza."

"Bye Jack." He walked out of the room. I turned to Russell. He had finished packing my clothes. I got of the bed and stood next to Russell. "I think you need to cheer me up. I'm fed up of being sad all the time."

"I have a certain way to cheer you up." Russell winked and gave me a cheeky smile. I couldn't help but smile. "Come on, lets get you home."
