Jackie's pov

He actually likes me? That's amazing!

"A, what should I do? Do I tell him or not? I've never liked someone before" I tell her honestly and she hugs me

"Give it a few weeks and if Alec hasn't made his move, then tell him how you feel, okay" she says and I agree. Alaya runs down to her room so she can do her homework for school while I sit in my room and think through a couple of things.

I realise that I've really liked Alec all along, I just didn't know it. Its weird that he would like me back though, I mean he did see me getting abused by my parents and who would like someone after seeing that?

To be honest, I kind of want to find out why my parents started to abuse me. Since I got my memories back, I can remember times when I was younger, where they were both so nice and treated me perfectly. I don't know what I did to make them start hitting me though but its really starting to annoy me. I've even concidered asking Kate to come with me to their house so I can get an explanation. Maybe I should go talk to Kate about it. I decide that I really should discuss this with Kate, so I look around to find her. I finally spot her in the kitchen and she turns to me as I walk in

"Kate, there's something I wanted to talk to you about" I tell her

"Go ahead hunnie" she says

"Well, I've been thinking and I realised that I want to understand why my parents started to abuse me" I explain and a guilty expression crosses her face

"Oh dear, Jackie there's something I need to tell you" she says

"Go ahead" I reply

"Those people you call your parents aren't your real mother or father. When I adopted you, the woman I spoke with said that they had adopted you first and that she didn't know they were causing you problems" she admits and I stare at her shocked

"They aren't my parents?" I ask feeling confused and angry

"No hunnie there not" she says

"Kate, will you come with me to there house? I need some answers" I say and she nods

"Let me just write Alaya a note" I tell her as she walks off to get her car keys

'A, me and your mum have just gone to my old house. I need answers and I'm going to get them. Don't worry about me and if Alec comes tell him not to panic, I'll be back in a few hours

Jackie'

I place the note on the kitchen table and go out to meet Kate at her car. We both climb in and set off. When we finally reach my old house Kate smiles comfortingly at me and we both walk up to the front door. I knock and my 'dad' opens the door.

"What the hell are you doing here? Your not wanted" he says before tryig to slam the door on me. I quickly push on the door to stop it from closing and he reopens it.

"Look I'm not staying, I just want to talk" I say and he glares at me

"Fine, come in" he says and reluctantly lets me and Kate through the door. We both go and sit in the living room while my 'dad' goes to get 'mom'.

When they both come back into the room, they sit on the sofa across from me.

"What do you want?" 'mum' asks

"I know your not my real parents, so who are you" I ask and they look at me in shock

"Aaron and Lacey Walker" she says

"Why did you adopt me?" I question

"We both wanted a child but Lacey couldn't have kids so we adopted you, but then we found out who your real parents were" Aaron says in disgust
