Joel Pimentel's little sister

Chapter 5

One week later

Today we go to Paris, I'm busy packing the last things.
I don't wanna go, with everything that's going on.
Should I tell them now I know, or when we're back?
While I think about that I heard my mom asking if I'm done yet.
I decided to say it before we leave.

I grab my suitcase and walk to the living room.
I need to tell them, now.

'Mom, dad, I need to speak to you' I said
'Sure what is it?' They both ask

I take a deep breath.

'I know I'm adopted' I said

I told them everything, how I found out, the pictures, the letter.
They didn't say anything, they just looked at me.

'I wanna meet them' I said
'We understand, but you can't' dad said
'Why not? There my family, I have the right to meet them'
'Because it's dangerous! They gave you away for a reason! You can't JUST meet them' mom said angry

I'm shocked, she never yelled to me before.

'I don't know what's so dangerous to meet them! I wanna meet them! It's my choice!' I yelled

Before they could say something else I run up to my room.
They can't stop me from seeing them.
I look at the box and grab it.
I need to find a better hiding place.
Maybe in the closet behind my school stuff, mom would never look there, well I hope...

2 hours later

The whole flight was listening to music and pretended to be asleep.
After we got to the hotel Jackson and I are going immediately to our room, I didn't leave.
Why is Jackson not irritating me? He always does that when we are on vacation.

2 days later

It's beautiful here, especially by night.
Even though I have a lot on my mind I love it here.
Tonight Jackson and I are going to the Eiffel Tower, I've already seen it out from the plane, I can't believe how many people there were.

After dinner we go back to our room we're going when it's dark I wanna see the lights.
Maybe my family is here too, maybe I'll see them.
What am I thinking, how big is the chance I'm going to see them, I won't even recognise them.
I grab my phone and text Alison to ask where she is, maybe she will tell now.

Alicia: hola hermoso
Alison: hola bella
Alicia: so, you didn't tell me where you would go on vacation
Alicia: so tell me now
Alison: what's your room number?
Alicia: 275 why?
Alicia: Alison??
Alison: just open the door

I didn't understand why but why not.
I walk to the door and open it.
Alison is on the other side.

'Surprise!! I asked my parents if we also could go to Paris' she said
'Alison!! I'm so happy you're here too'

She walks in and then I give her a hug.

'O no, I thought this would be a normal vacation and now you're here' Jackson said with a laugh
'It's nice to see you too Jackson' Alison said laughing
'When did you arrive?' I ask
'Yesterday, we had a lot to do' she said
'But what do you think about to have breakfast together tomorrow?' She ask
'Sounds good, then I see you tomorrow, Jackson and I are going to the Eiffel Tower' I said
'And you can't come with us!' Jackson said fast

We said goodbye and she got back to here room and Jackson and I are leaving.

It's so beautiful, all those lights...
We have an amazing sight from the top of the Eiffel Tower, we can see the whole city.
For a moment I didn't think of al the trouble.
