Next day....

Today was no time for school. It was time to find my parents.

Trevor and I headed to the police station. "Laura! Laura!" I called. Chief Laura smiled and said "Riley, Trevor, what brings you two here?"

"I need help finding my parents" I said.

"I'll see what I can do" said Laura.

"Do we really need my parents?" I asked. "Even if we don't, you have to meet them at least." Said Trevor. "After they abandoned me!" I said. Trevor hugged me which seemed to calm me.

"Do we have names?" Asked Laura. "I-I'm not sure" I said. "Okay, this will take some time, but first I need you're DNA it would make it much easier to find you're parents" said Laura. I nodded.

The next day....

Trevor and I went back to the police station. "We've found you're parents" said Laura smiling widely handing me an address.

"Camilla," I said softly. "Camilla Richards, and Liam Richards" I whispered my parents name.

"Thank you Laura" I said as Trevor and I went in the van.

"Trevor, my parents live in New York" I said. "You gotta be kidding me!" Said Trevor then smiled and said "ROAD TRIP"

"The last rode trip was when you kidnapped me!" I said, Trevor laughed. "I'm sorry!"

We went back home to prepare some food for our trip. "We can always take a plane" said Trevor. "I wanna go now" I said.

We got back in the van and Trevor drove.

Several hours Later....

We were in Illinois. Trevor was still driving until the van got slower. "What's the matter?" I said biting into a sand which. "I think the van got a flat" said Trevor getting out of the van. I stepped out and saw a flat. Really!?

"Good thing I have a pump" said Trevor and added "I was always prepared in case police had me wanted."

Trevor pumped the tire the best he can. We got in the van and I drove to the nearest rest stop. We were tired. So we fell asleep.

Next Morning....

After Trevor and I ate at Wendy's I started driving.

Hours Later....

As we headed into Pennsylvania there was traffic. Oh my god. Oh my god. Trevor and I waited.

An hour later....

The traffic finally clears up! Oh my god! We kept on driving.

Almost an hour later....

FINALLY. "Welcome to New York!" This better be worth it. We got a flat tire, got stuck in traffic and paid so many tows.

Let's find my parents.

We were in New York, we followed the GPS to where Camilla and Liam address was.

After 30 minutes of driving we stopped in front of a building. "This is the address" I said. I slowly stepped into the building as if I were in a movie.

I knocked on the apartment 3-B. A lady answered the door.

"Hello may I help you?" She asked. "I'm looking for a Camilla and Liam Richards" I said holding breath "I'm Camilla, Liam isn't around can I help you?" She answered. I was frozen. Finally I said "I have to go"

She closed the door. "What are you doing?" Asked Trevor. "I can't do it" I said. "Riley, you can do it" said Trevor. I sighed and knocked on the door again. Camilla opened.

"I'm you're daughter" I blurted.

Camilla's eyes filled with tears. "I-I, no you're- you're lying!" She said stammering.

"Why would I lie?" I said. "Riley?" Said Camilla. I nodded. "Oh Riley, come on in" said Camilla. I went into her apartment with Trevor. Camilla stared at me. She was about to hug me but I jerked away.

"The last time I saw you, you were an infant" said Camilla. "The last time I seen you is when you abandoned me" I said sternly. "I had to, I wasn't ready to be a mother." Said Camilla crying and added "If I could, I would change the past"

"Why? Huh? Why weren't you ready? You know what, I don't even care" I said. "I wanted you, it broke my heart giving you up, but I couldn't raise you alone" said Camilla.

"Hellooo?! Liam! The man who made me!" I said getting angry. "He died" said Camilla crying. "Oh" I said. "I wish we would've been a family, we can start over now" said Camilla.

"No, it's too late. You know, when I was little I would hate myself, I would ask myself why would my parents give me away, why don't they love me, then I realized I should not be thinking of you, when you didn't think of me. I finally had stop thinking about you and Liam and didn't care. I never thought about you guys again" I said. Preach!

"Until now, you came to look for you're dear parents" said Camilla. "No Camilla, enough of this talk. I came down here because I need you're... Approval of my marriage" I said.

"My daughter is getting married! Oh my, all the years that  I've missed, you're first word, walk, crush and everything! I am truly sorry" said Camilla. "Well say yes and sign this so I can get the hell out of here." I said.

"No, no." Said Camilla studying Trevor. "Weren't you on the news, you were in court, I recognize you. Thief"

My eyes widen. "Excuse me!?" I said. "I remember you two, I saw you guys on the news in court months ago, I'm not letting you marry him" said Camilla.

"WHAT!? So first off, you saw me in the news surely they put my first and last name so you should've probably knew it was you're daughter there and you could've came looking for me, second off, you are not my mother. You may have made me, but you were never in my life to tell me how to live it Camilla, so say yes and back off!" I snapped.

"I'm so sorry, Riley. I wasn't really paying attention when I watched the news all I was paying attention to was the thief. Also you are right, I don't deserve to make these choices for you when I have been a terrible mother." Said Camilla. "Good, now sign this" I said. "I'm coming to you're wedding, what if no one believes I signed it?" Said Camilla. I swallowed hard in anger. I kept my voice steady "Fine, but after the wedding I never want to see you again"

<~<~<~<~<~<~<

"So how has life been?" Asked Camilla in the van with us.
"Horrible, you made it horrible, all until I met Trevor" I said.
"I'm sorry, I want to get to know you" said Camilla.
"You would've knew me if you haven't abandoned me" I said.
"Riley I'm sorry and I mean it, please give me a chance, talk to me" said Camilla.
"We would've had years of talking if you hadn't left me" I said.

This is going to be a long rode trip.
