Unexpected Love

Chapter 18

Sarah and I walked around the mall, drinking our smoothies and having fun.
Ever since my dad and I had that bonding moment we have been really close and I have been happier. Screw Caleb. I don't need him. Even though it still hurt to think about him I've moved on. It's been a month and still no word.
As Sarah and I walked out of Victoria Secret with our own bags we talked about nothing.
" Oh my gosh. That guy is so hot!" she exclaimed.
I looks over and he was really cute.
" You have a boyfriend, remember?" I teased her.
She rolled but her eyes and smiled.
" Whatever. Just having fun." she said.
Steve and Sarah has been all lovey Dover and I'm really happy for them. He has changed his player days and finally committed to a relationship. Really shocking, but proved that people can change when they set their mind to it.
" So your one month is coming up. You doing anything special?" I asked.
We sat down on a bench and I stretched out my tan legs.
I was wearing white shorts and a yellow shirt while Sarah was wearing denim shorts and a white tee.
" I don't know. Probably going over to his house to watch a movie." she shrugged.
" That sounds fun!" I exclaimed.
She laughed.
" He doesn't have one romantic bone in him." she muttered but smiled.
She loved him all the same.
I checked my phone and saw that my mom had texted me.

Mom: Come home when ready. Father and I need 2 tlk 2 u.
Me: On my way. What's wrong?

" Hey I need to get home. My mom texted me saying her and my dad needed to talk to me." I said, picking up my bags and getting up.
She got up and grabbed her bags and we made our way to the parking lot.
" What's up?" she asked curiously.
Just then my phone beeped an I quickly looked at it.

Mom: Need to tell u something.

I didn't respond and we found Sarah's car. We got in, her throwing her bags in the backseat, while I put mine in between my legs.
" I wonder what's wrong?" she said.
I shrugged and looked out the window.
A couple minutes later Sarah pulled into my driveway. She gave me a side hug.
" Well I'm going over to Steven's. Call me?" she said.
I picked up my bag and opened my door, getting out.
" Duh" I said with a smile and jogged up my stairs. I unlocked the door and Sarah beeped her horn, driving off.
I closed the door and I turned to see my parents sitting on the couch, holding each others hands.
They looked at me anxious and my heart sunk. This must be really bad.
" Sit down Kenya. I think you might want to." my mom said.
I sat down my bag by the door and sat on the chair across from them. I crossed my legs and waited, looking from my mom to my dad.
" You know we love you very much, right dear?" my mon asked seriously.
I nodded.
" We love you no matter what. And we always will." my dad said, quietly.
" I love you guys too..." I said hesitantly.
My mom took a deep breath and I saw tears glistening in her eyes.
My heart broke.
Has somebody died? Was my mom sick? Was my dad sick?
So many questions were running through my mind.
" Honey, you're adopted." my mom whispered.
I could feel the shocked expression on my face. I thought it was a sucki joke but when neither of them smile or laughed, my throat felt like it was closing.
" No I'm not" I said.
My mom let her tears flow and my dad rubbed her back.
" Yes you are" my dad said, looking me straight in the eye.
So many emotions started crashing in on me.
Anger. Hurt. Betrayal. Sadness.
" How come you never told me before?!" I exclaimed.
I guess anger was my biggest emotion.
My mom looked taken aback.
" We wanted to wait until you were older and more mature. We wanted to make sure that you found out who you are and didn't feel like you were lost because you didn't know your real parents." my dad said.
" I'm seventeen! You could have told me a long time ago! Who is my real parents? What's my real last name? And I do feel lost. How could I not?! Why didn't they want me?"
Tears were rushing down my face and my head was pounding but I ignored it. I felt so hurt and was shaking really hard.
My dad got up to give me a hug but I jumped up, knocking the chair down.
" Don't touch me. How could you?" I asked, my voice breaking.
I wiped my eyes and held myself.
" I'm sorry." my mom and dad whispered at the same time.
It hurt so much to see my mom, well this lady, to cry. My dad, I mean, fatherly figure.
I took a deep breath and looked at them.
" I'm taking a walk. Don't look for me." I whispered and left, making sure to slam the door.
