Help Me

Chapter 11

"They are definitely not my parents," I said once again.
"Well we did some testing and they are blood related to you," the officer said.
"It's true," the lady said. I looked at her and her attention turned back to the officer. He came up to me and handed me papers. I quickly glimpsed through them. I looked back up at the strangers.
"Are you really my parents," I asked them.
"Yes and we can prove it," they said.
"Fine prove it," I said crossing my arms.
"Well for starters your name is Kim Min-Seo. Your father and I gave you the American name Makenzie. When you were 4 you used to have a little brown teddy bear names Mr. Brown Bear and a blue blanket. You would never sleep without those two items."

Before they could say anything else I stopped them.
"So why did I end up with two different parents," I asked them.
"We were having trouble with money and we wanted you to have a good education. We found out our friends were going to America and we wanted you to go," the guy said.
"Did you know how they treated me, your so called "friends"," I said to them.
"No, after you left we didn't talk anymore," the lady said.
"So your saying you handed me over to two complete strangers I didn't know for 17 years and i called them ny parents," I said loudly.
"We sent you away when you were 3 so more like 14 years," the guy corrected me.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY KEEPING ME AND GAVE UP ON ME!"
"We didn't give up on you, we just didn't know what to do anymore," the lady said.
"That's giving up on me!" I was so confused and so angry. I never really knew my parents. I definitely don't know them now. Do I really know who I am anymore?

"Can everyone please leave," I said weakly.
"Honey please let's talk about it," the lady said.
"Leave me alone please," I said coldly to her. Before Wonho left my side I grabbed his arm. He pulled a chair over and sat next to me. Tears started building up by my eyelids. One blink and it all comes down just like my life has right now. Wonho wiped my tears away and hugged me.

About an hour or so later my parents came.
"Min-Seo kwenchana," my "mom" said walking up to me to touch my head. Before she did I yanked her arm off of me. Wonho was still by my side.
"Min-Seo what's wrong," my "mom" asked.
"You...you and appa...no you and your husband lied to me," I said.
"About what honey," she said.
"Don't act all innocent anymore. Your not my mom and you're not my dad. No wonder it was so easy for you to hit me huh? I know you aren't my parents. I known you two lied to me for 17 years," I said getting up from my bed, and holding onto my stomach.
"I know that my parents gave up on me and just gave me to you two. I know you probably didn't care for me. You just acted like you did because of my real parents," I said to them.
"You may not disrespect your elder. We cared for you and took you under our wings," my "dad" said.
"Well not good enough. To me I felt no love from you or your wife," I said. He came up to me and held onto my shoulders tight.
"You listen to me Min-Seo. I don't care if you don't like us but we took care of you for 17 years. But your right, I didn't like you at all. You were such a brat and an awful child. Sometimes I wish I could have abandoned you a long time ago," he said to me.

Wonho came barging in and threw him on the ground. Before my "dad" came up to me Wonho stepped in front of me. My "mom" dragged him back. The police officer came back in with my real parents.
They looked at both of us and I headed back to my bed with the help of Wonho.
"So are these the parents you lived with Min-Seo," the officer asked me.
"Neh."
"How was it with them," he asked me.
"Horrible," I said. I saw that my "dad" began clenching his fist. I also clenched mine under my blanket. I told the police officer everything I could remember even the conversation we just head. My "dad" ran towards me with his hands open. The police officer stopped him, but he punched the officer in the face. He came up to me and began choking me. My real father and Wonho came and tried to stop him. The police officer finally got back up and hand cuffed him. He exited with my "dad and mom".

"Are you okay," my dad asked me.
"No I'm not," I answered.
"I guess it was a bad choice to have left you with them," they said to me.
"Did he hit you all the time," my mom asked me. I nodded my head and looked away from them rehashing the moments.
"Because of you two I suffered more then a human being should. I was ready to die and not live anymore. I was so close to taking my life. But one friend of mine came through for me. Because of her I'm still alive. Because of her, I didn't suffer when I'm around her," I said tearing up just thinking about my friend Lucy.

"Look we didn't know it was going to turn out like this," my dad said.
"Yeah well I never knew I was ever going to find out that my parents weren't who they really were, but hey...look at that, I did," I said sarcastically. I asked them to leave and I went back to sleep.
