Adopted by Lin Manuel Miranda

Chapter 22- Results

    Nightmares filled my night. I couldn't get much sleep because being asleep meant having nightmares about what happened. Also the nightmare about the night my parents died has been coming back. Probably because today is the anniversary of their deaths. The thing about having a loved one die is the memory and the sadness never goes away you just learn to live with it. When my parents first died I would cry all the time, in school, at home, anywhere really, but now I know how to control the sadness.

    So now instead of just the hatred of myself because of the incident that occurred now I have the sadness of my parents passing. Today was going to be a long day and I could tell it, even if I'd only been awake 20 minutes. I drug myself out of bed, as I had done the day before, and mechanically went through my morning routine. When I was done with the routine and had finally gotten my clothes on I walked out to get some breakfast. I have to keep eating to keep Lin and Vanessa happy with me. Even though I didn't have much of an appetite.

   I just got myself a small bowl of cereal and sat down at the table. Lin and Sebastian were sitting on the couch watching Chuggington, as they always do, and when I finished my little breakfast I joined them. Sebastian was cuddled into Lin's lap, napping, and I slid in and sat right next to the duo. Lin gave me a smile and a side hug, which I returned. We sat there watching Chuggington and talking conspiracy then Vanessa walked in looking ready for the day. She actually looked quite fancy, I wonder what she's doing today.

           "So I'm going to a breakfast meeting with a friend of mine who's a lawyer to talk about your case. We do have a court date set November 9th at 8am. That's in about about 2 weeks so I'll be getting him caught up with what's happened and give him our file on the case. We are also going to be going in today, with you of course, to get the results on your drug test," Vanessa rambled out as she was getting her shoes on and getting ready to leave.

           "Ok sounds good we'll be here," Lin replied kissing his wife as she had walked over to us to say good bye.

      So it was just going to be Lin and I until Vanessa got back to take us to get my results. He and I say and watched Chuggington for a little longer than I'd like to admit, especially since Sebastian was asleep. But hey it's a decent show! Once Seb woke up though it was none stop go. The kid had a lot of energy and was always on the move. He would sometimes go over to the piano and try and play something, though he really couldn't do too much since it was a bit to big for him. He would then get frustrated and move onto his little piano and slam out some music, which wasn't very beautiful to the ears.

      The thing I love about Seb is that he can help me feel actual happiness and he can make me forget about anything when he's smiling and happy. There is something about the innocence and pure true happiness of a child that can make anyone a bit happier. Soon enough though that happy bubble was broken because Vanessa was back to take us to get the results of the test.

     I know I'm probably crazy for being nervous but this could help us prove he did something. If we can prove that this was used on me maybe we could get a warrant to try and find some in his house or on his person. Honestly I'm not to sure how this works but I know it could help the case. On top of that it could prove I'm not crazy or weak. This could prove that I really had no control over my body because I was drugged.

      The car ride was pretty quite and you could cut the tension with a knife. I'm guessing there thinking the same thing I am. Once we get to where we needed to be we walked in as a unite. This news was going to be big and we were all interested to hear what it said. We walked up and said we were there to see the results of the test. We got lead back to a doctor who then sat us down, ready to tell us what it said.

         "Well we got your test results back and it did show our suspicions. There was quite a large amount of Rohypnol in your system, Rohypnol, if you didn't know, is just the actual name for a very common date rape drug. That would explain why you weren't able to move your own arms and legs," the doctor kept droning on but I tuned him out.

     So that's it. I'm not crazy! There were drugs in my system that prevented me from fighting back. This wasn't all completely my fault. I felt a rush of happiness come over me. After this wait this finally proves I couldn't fight back because of drugs, it wasn't all me. That was probably the best news I could have heard all day.

Hello! Sorry I'm posting so late I just had an 8 hour shift today and I was tired. Also it's the 9 year anniversary of my mom's death so it's been a bit of a rough night, lots of crying. But I knew I had to power through so I could get you guys this chapter. Sorry if it's bad. I promise the next chapter will be better! There are some fun things planned for next chapter. Anywho bye!
