Not My Parents - Part 8

Lilac's P.O.V

Will told me just to follow him. We walked in the black gates and we were surrounded by gravestones. We walked past dozens of flowers, and baskets and notes. Each to someone special that has left.

We walked in silence. Until he stopped next to two stones beside each other.

Mrs. Rebecca Rose   and    Mr. Paul Rose

"Lil, your parents were found dead, after they took their lives in hotel a few weeks ago. We were sent a letter but were advised to not tell you. But I thought you might want to come and see them one more time." Will said.

I stood for a minute before bending down and placing my hand lovingly on my mother's stone, and then my father's.

I stood and looked at them one last time. Will wrapped his arms around me.

"They aren't my parents."

"What do mean?" Will asked.

"Shelby and Graser are my parents. And just as they have cared for me, I will be there at their wedding, and I'll be there if they have kids of their own. And I'll be there when they're on their deathbeds."

"You'll always be their best daughter. I know that for sure." Will replied.

I smiled at him and we left after a few more minutes. We got in the car and drove home and played video games for hours with snacks and sweets.

I eventually heard the door open and mum giggle quietly from behind me.

"Hey mum!" I shouted to her.

"Aww, Graser I told you you were being too loud. I wanted to sneak up behind her!" She said.

"No, mum I heard you and just let me finish this game of Splatoon and then we can go."

Once I finished I grabbed my stuff, kissed Will and Liam good night and we walked home.

The sky was clear and the moon was out."Were you guys ever going to tell me about that letter?" I said bluntly as we waited for the street to be safe to cross.

"The letter about your parents?" Graser questioned. I could tell they were nervous.

"They weren't ever my parents but yes."

"Lilac, please understand we were advised not to tell you. Just let you move on. We were thinking of telling you when you are much older." Mum told me.

"I do understand that, but I still would've liked to know."

"I'm sorry sweetie. We just, weren't sure if you'd somehow stop seeing us as your parents." Mum told me as we walked indoors.

"Again they weren't ever my parents. You guys are my parents. I'm going to bed now, good night." I told them. I hugged them both before jumping up the stairs to my room.
