Luis

i had gone to an apartment and pinned to the walls every paper i had found in marks and Ana's stuff i pulled out a pale yellow folder that was falling apart and sat on the bed "what is this?" i opened it and pictures of my father and mother had fallen out  but nothing of mark.

The documents inside were documents from an orphanage "i...was adopted?" i looked up to the wall of pictures and documents "i didn't find anything about mark being adopted..the woman in the crash was his mom an my dad...but why was i adopted an mark wasn't?"

i looked at the file in my hands and took out a photo that was stuck in the sleeve and flipped  it over "the hill.." the photo was old and starting to fade, it as a picture of the hill with an orphanage on it.

i opened up my laptop and typed in the name and looked it up, the woman i kept seeing was Sara, she was the owner of it with my father it closed down because they couldn't afford to keep it running.

i slammed the laptop shut and put my hands on my head trying to avoid a panic attack "why wasn't i allowed to know" i picked up my phone and went to call my father then remembered the accident and sighed.

i opened up the address tab and went to my car.

when i drove up to the drive way i turned my car off and sighed as i pulled a flashlight out of the glove compartment in my car and got out.

the ground near my feet lit up as i turned the flashlight on and closed the car door, the gravel shifted under my boots as i walked up to the porch and up the steps o unlock the door.

inside i shut the flash light off then turned the lights on "..sorry dad..I'm not one to go through things.." i said to no one an took my jacket off an set the flash light down.

i rummaged through boxes, closet and drawers to find anything i could about my mother i was surprised to find a phone number that was valid to Sara.

my heart beat fast as i sat down in a mess of papers and called my mother.

"hello?" i didn't answer at first "hello..I'm ..looking for a woman named Sara" i closed my eyes "this is Sara ho may i help you" i slightly smiled "my name is Luis.." the woman on the other end didn't say anything for a few seconds "m-my little boy Luis?.." i chuckled a little "..that's exactly who i am"

by the time i had left i had to boxes of information, a number and address to my mother.

When i came up to an older house i saw Sara sitting on the porch, inside i learned everything i need to know.
