Inescapable Love

Chapter 35

What? Mr and Mrs Grey? I look up at Noah in disbelief. Is this some kind of a prank?

"And now you know how it feels!" his expressions turn dark. My heart refuses to believe any of the bullshit written in here.

"What kind of a prank is this?!" I yell so angry with him I don't know what I'll do.

"It's not, girl! I found it yesterday. You can go ask Mr Anderson or your so called parents. You were just lucky enough to get adopted by rich bastards otherwise you are like us! Abandoned by your parents! It's very easy to give lessons on crap but very difficult to live through it! Mr Anderson didn't want you to know. The truth is he recognized you the moment you set foot in this orphanage! Bitches like you don't deserve whatever your parents gave you, you deserve life like us..." a slap knocks Noah off his balance. It didn't come from me. I turn to see Harry standing by my side.

"Shut the hell up, boy!" he yells, "Just because you are younger than us doesn't mean you say anything to my wife!" he's angry and red, "April?" he turns to me, his eyes soften. Unable to say anything I hand him the file, my file.

His green eyes pop out of their sockets as he reads the file, "This is bullshit!" he says to me, "You are going to believe a boy like this? Don't be so naive baby. Obviously, he made this up!"

"What if..." I sob, unable to complete my sentence. Harry takes me into his arms, brushing my hair attempting to calm me down.

"There is no what if, love." he says, "This is a prank."

"You have to take me to my parents!" I say between my sobs.

"Okay, I will."

As soon as we reach my parents house I climb off the car and run inside summoning my parents.

"April! Harry! So nice to see you two!" my mom paces towards us.

"Where's dad?" as soon as I call him that, a fear builds inside me. He may not be my dad. Maybe my whole life is a lie.

"Honey, what's the matter? Have you been crying?" my mom says with full of concern.

"This!" I hand her the file. She has the same shocked expressions as Harry. A tiny part of me thinks this is all Noah's prank to make me realize who it feels to be in his place.

"Who gave you this?" she asks and my heart sinks. It's true, "Honey, who gave you this?"

"It doesn't matter." I try to keep my voice together, "Is it true?"

"Uh, sweetie..." I raise my hand to stop her. It's true. I feel Harry's hands around my shoulders. My knees fail to take my weight but before I can fall Harry holds me.

"You lied to me!" I scream, "My whole life is a lie! I'm not even your daughter!"

"No! April, you are my daughter."

"You answer one question of mine, mother." I say, tears continuously falling down my cheeks, "Did you give birth to me?"

"Please, April listen to me." she dodges the question.

"I don't want to hear more!" I turn and move out.

"April!" Harry stops me. I turn and hug him. I cry into his arms.

"It's okay, baby!" he says, "It's going to be okay!"

"My life is a lie!" I sob, "Noah's right. I don't deserve any of this. My own parents abandoned me!"

"No, baby! What are you talking about? I'm sure there must be a reason. You are not giving them a chance. Don't do that baby, please!" he says, "I know this is horrible but let's listen to their side of the story. You cannot trust some stupid boy from orphanage more than your own parents, especially the ones who loves you so much."
