My Best Friend

Chapter 42

FAITH POV: I've been looking for my birth parents. My parents and family have been very supportive and understand why I needed to do this. My brothers even have been helping me. It's been a long process. Than I finally got some news. Tim walked in my dressing room just as I was reading the information my brother Wes sent me. He walked up to me "What's wrong?" "read it" I said as I handed him the paper. He than read it. "oh wow" "yeah" "so what are you going to do?" "I don't know" "Well I will be here for you for whatever you decide" "thanks" "Faith..I'm sorry." he said as I saw tears running down his cheeks. He had his head down. "Hey, it's okay" "no it's not, I don't want to ever hurt you or JT. I love you both so much" "I know you do, and we love you too. But Tim this drinking is scaring me. When you drink, its like you become this different person. I don't want to lose you but Tim if you continue like this.." "I know, I promise you and JT, I will not nor ever be like him. I won't drink anymore. I don't ever want to lose my family ever. You both mean mean the world to me" I can see how sincere and sorry he was. I can see how much he wants to change. "look I know it's going to take some time, but I will be here with you every step of the way" I said. He smiled "And the same goes for me for you" "Thanks" "okay lets go to the bus" "okay" we than went to our bus. We decided to take our bus to the next city since it was about 5 or so hours away. Tim's mom took JT for us on her side of the bus. She wanted to give us some alone time. We got in our bedroom in the back of the bus and closed the door. We got in bed, I looked over at Tim. "hey are you alright?" He turned to me and smiled "yeah just thinking" "well lets try to get some sleep" "Okay" he held me in his arms and I soon fell asleep. When I woke up I looked out and the sun was up. I looked at the time and it was barely 8am. I looked over and saw the piece of paper my brother Wes sent me. It had the info of my birth parents. I'm still trying to decide what to do. I'm nervous and scared at the same time. Then Tim woke up and looked over at me. "Hey you okay?" "yeah, Tim I think I want to contact her" "you do?" "yeah" "well I will be here for you, if you need me" "I always need you" he smiled and kissed me. A couple of hours later, we arrive at the venue. We decide to just chill on the bus. Betty took JT for a little walk. I grabbed my phone. I took a deep breath. "okay here it goes" I than called the number given to me. After a few rings a ladies voice came on the phone "Hello" I just froze, I didn't know what to do.. "Hello, anyone there" After a few seconds.. "Wait.." I said "who is this?" she said. "Hi is this Sandy? Sandy Hill?" "yes it is and who is this?" "Hi My name is..Faith and I believe you're..my birth mother" she was quiet. I was about to just hang up when I heard "please don't hang up" I was quiet "Are you still there?" She asked "yeah" I said softly. "I'd like to meet you" She said "Okay, I'm in Mississippi next week, so can we meet than?" "sure sounds good" "okay I will call you when I'm there to meet" I said and hung up. Than Tim walked over "hey who was that?" "My..my mother, well birth mother. My mom is Edna Perry. The woman that loved and raised me" I said and started to cry. He came over and sat down next to me and held me.
