My New Secret Life

Chapter 12

"Okay, start talking." I yell at them and my fake mom starts talking:
"When me and you father were young.." She starts saying but I smirk at the word father in a way telling them that he wasn't.
But they both take a deep breath and she continuous:
"When we were young we had two friends who were Raven and Chris, your real parents. Back then we found out that they were  members of two different gangs. They loved each other but they're leaders would never allow them to be together. So they both betrayed them. But of course, a gang leader isn't that soft so he promised that he would take revenge. So your parents lived with fear. Their life was full of action, they did everything to survive, but then all they could was run because Raven was pregnant with you. They only they wanted was to keep you safe. But.....but the day she gave birth to you, she died. After a few hours your dad got killed too. Because like I said the gang leader needed to take revenge. But before that happened he managed to call us and keep you safe. Chris said he knew he was gonna die and he did. Maybe that's why nothing happened to you, he knew it so he planed something to safe you. After you dad died too, we took you and here we are now."

After hearing all that I start crying. I can't belive that's real. I look at the photo of my parents and start crying harder. I didn't scream, I didn't make any noise, tears just started falling from my eyes again and again. Then they both go to the library, take a book, open it and tbere was a piece of paper. They give it to me saying:
"This where they used to live."
I take the piece of paper and get out the house.

I keep walking to meet Connor. Tears just keep falling again and I can't control them. When I went to New York I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore. Why am I crying now? I never met my real parents. Why am I wasting my tears for someone I never met?
But I think that's the thing, I never met them. It hurted me thinking that I never met them because all we have in the end are memories. But I don't have any memories of them.

I arrive at the house and when I open the door Connor hugs me.
"They are my real parents!" I whisper to him.
"Shhh, it's okay. Don't worry." He says still hugging me and we get inside.

We sit on the sofa and I start explain everything to him. He kisses me and tells me tbat everything will ve okay.

I show him the piece of paper I got.
"I need to go there. I say to him.
"Okay and I'll help you."

Me and Connor get ready and then we both get inside his car.
He starts driving and we arrive at pur destinacion after 2 hours. Well of course it needed to be far away. My parents wanted to survive so they stayed hid.

Their house was really old and it looked like one of those haunted houses in movies. We get inside and it was worse than it looked frim the outside. Everything was broken but we were still looking around.

It was full of dust but I see something and when I go to get it I hear Connor yelling:
"Nikole! Be careful!" He pushes me away and I see a board falling from the ceiling. Connor moves so thanks God he doesn't get hurt.
"Thank you!" I say a little bit worried if he got a scretch pr something.
"It was nothing."

I check if he got hurt and when I was sure he was fine I get what I saw before. It was a big notebook. I clear it from the dust.
"Look!" I say to Connor as I point my finger at the bottom of the notebook. It read "To our precious daughter".
"It must be from your real parents. They must have written it before they died. We better take it and leave."

We get in the car and Connor deives to our place.

When we arrive I kiss Connor and say thank you to him.
"You better go and read that. I will be back at night. I have some work to do in the gang."
"Okay. Goodbye!"
He leaves and I go to the bedroom to read what my parents had written to me.
