Just Be With Me [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty Six

PART THREE

"This is Carrie, my girlfriend! Then he called her "my Tink". I was the only one who heard. So I broke things off with him, giving back my matching necklace and moving to Florida 3 years later."

"Oh wow!" They both looked at the ground, "but you said you started talking to him again?"

"Yes, but that soon ended as well a few days ago. He kept my adoption a secret from me." I sighed, "everyone kept it a secret from me."

"You're telling us that after 21 years of your existence that no one told you that you were adopted?" Reagan's mouth was wide open,

"Nope." I shook my head,

"I'd be fucking pissed if my parents kept that from me!" Auron stood, "you don't keep that kind of information from a child, they have a right to know! Damn it, if only we checked the papers twice, it would've been an open adoption!" He put his face in his hands and fell back into the couch.

"You know. I always thought I was different from my family. I asked them multiple times, but they just kept saying it's somewhere in the genes and it probably came from our ancestors. I didn't believe it, I looked at photos of our ancestors and no one had auburn hair or green eyes. Eventually they stopped answering me and I just gave up the questions. I mean, look at me I have auburn hair and green eyes while my family had black hair and brown eyes. Everyone was over 5' 5", even mom, while I was still 5' 2". I love to eat junk food instead of full meals and binge on crime solving TV shows. Which reminds me, who did I get that from?"

"Which one? There were a lot of things you said." Reagan rested her elbows on her knees,

"Any one. Just choose one,"

"Junk food you got from me." Auron smiled, "and obviously the auburn hair."

"TV binging, green eyes and your height runs in my family!" Raegan slightly raised her hand,

I stare at them both.

Here sitting in front of me are the two people who created me. I know it was a mistake but they still created me and they made the decision to keep me alive. I have my biological parents then my adoptive parents.

"You know Rora! You are always apart of this family!"

"Yeah, we loved you when we first saw you the day you were born. We loved you when they took you away from us. We loved you when you showed up on our doorstep and we will ALWAYS love you Aurora."

I felt a tear roll down my face. She called me Rora. I don't know why but that nickname sounded right. It sounded like the real me and not the made up me.

Rora.

Rory.

Rora.

Rory.

Rora.

I smiled at them......

"Is it to forward to ask if I can call you mom and dad?"

"Oh, of course not sweetie,"

Raegan got up and opened her arms, which I rushed into. I wrapped my arms around her and Auron wrapped his around the both of us.
