"My parents?"She nodded and now it was her turn to cross her arms...
I didn't know if she was telling the truth or if she was lying, just to get me to stay.. I did want to get to the bottom of this, and I'm taking every chance I get to step a foot closer to finding out, so I came back..
"Listening..." I responded with my eyes on her, still unconvinced that she knew anything about my parents..."Well first...before I begin. I need you to understand that I am not an enemy to you. I'm here to help. We might have start off on the wrong foot a little, but I'm telling you that's not what I want. Yeah, I get you don't remember me and I'm gonna find out why... I need to talk to your sister.."
"How do you know that I have a sister?" I rose my eyebrows."Because. I know you, Audrey. We've known each other ever since we were-"
She cut herself off.
"No, don't stop. Keep going." I told her.
"No, I'm not gonna keep going. We're not here for that reason, we're here about your parents..."I rolled my eyes taking a deep breath.
She walked past me and locked the door with a key.
I'm not even gonna ask her where she got it from..
She grabbed her bag and walked over to me. Sitting it down on one of the chairs....She pulled out her laptop and sat down on one of them, patting the seat next to me..
I decided not to hesitate and sat down next to her as she opened her laptop and logged in..
She opened a browser and started typing away putting in passwords..
"Why do you have so many of those just to open up something?" I asked her, and she looked at me with a eyebrow rosed high.
"Because I can get in trouble if I got caught doing what I do.." She answered me.Not wanting to ask her anymore questions about that topic. I sat back, looking at the instruments around the band room..
"Okay, here we are. Read this." She instructed, giving me the laptop.I grabbed the laptop and began reading..
"In the town of Langdale, a popular couple announced that their newborn has arrived last week. On the 14th day of August..."
"Which is you.." She confirmed.I looked at her and then looked back at the computer..
"Hearing from Andrea Brooks, weeks after giving birth, she said that she was grateful and blessed to have another girl as to the mysterious and strange tragedy that happened 11 years ago when she gave birth to her first daughter, who is still in this case, missing..""Wait...." I mumbled going back into the paragraph I just read.
"What?" She asked, glancing at me.
"Hearing from Andrea Brooks, weeks after giving birth.." I repeated to myself again..."Audrey?" She called me..
I looked over to the side as I kept thinking and thinking...
When Leah showed me those certificates that day and told me part of what happened, she said that the both of us were stolen from the hospital the same night we were born..
But here, this file says that the man from the news spoke to her weeks after she gave birth to me saying that she was grateful and blessed to have me meaning that I was still there in her life at that time, and that I couldn't have been stolen from the hospital the same night I was born.
It had to be wayy after that..
I started shaking my head. I hope Leah isn't lying to me. Please not her, just please, I can't take more of the lying..
