Summer Fling or More

No Way!!

Dylan and I talked for a long time. We laughed we watched a movie, it was so much fun. about halfway through the flight I remembered the envelope. I gingerly pulled out the old envelope. It had a pretty design of flowers and white lacy looking stuff on the corners. Dylan was asleep so I opened it inside was a credit card, and 10, 100 dollar bills and another envelope. I tore the envelope open to find a note.

'Hey Zoey there are some things you should know. first of all the credit card is for emergencies only and the money have fun. Well the thing is you're adopted.' With those words my whole life came crashing down. I felt by body shake uncontrollably. Sobs racked my body. I felt a warm hand on my arm. I saw Dylan his beautiful green eyes stared back at me. I felt safe and calm I continued to read. 'Zoey so that probably shook you up. Don't think our love was fake we loved you like our own and my hair just so happened to match yours. We loved you since day one don't ever think differently. I couldn't bear to tell you in person. I thought you would be upset and hate me.' I saw faded tear marks on the paper. I'm upset but I'd never hate her I thought. I continued to read. Dylan sat there and watched me fascinated. 'The real reason you are going to Florida is to meet your real parents. You also have an older brother. Although I forgot his name. You'll meet them soon enough. You will be staying at your Aunt Michelle's house. So long for now. xxXX MOM XXxx'

I reached up to wipe the tears from my face only to find a hand already there. I gave Dylan a weary smile and managed to croak out," Why are you still here we barely know each other?" He looked at me and said," I honestly don't know I just feel like I should." My dad walked out when my pregnant mom was crying. That was about 18 years ago or a bit longer I can't quite remember I was only 1" I felt the tears well up in my eyes. he continued to talk. "I feel like I shouldn't leave when a girl is crying. Especially if it's when she's alone."  I reached over and hugged him. He stiffened at the contact, but after a while he hesitantly wrapped his arms around me. He put his face in the crook of my neck and I felt warm tears on my neck, but they weren't mine. We must look crazy, but it didn't matter this was our moment. 

When we pulled apart I asked him,'So why are you going to Florida. "I'm going to visit my Mom and Dad." "Wait didn't you say your dad left." I said. " Well I had an older sibling ,but I never did meet him/her. I think my mom  got an abortion or something she never told me. My mom remarried before she had me", he replied.
