Your P.O.V

Reece and I are currently on a train to London and I'm looking out the window. This is really happening, oh god. I wonder what my real parents look like. Are they nice? Are they loving like my foster parents? Do I have siblings? Why did they give me up for adoption? Do they not like me?

I'm cut off by my thoughts when I notice that, from the corner of my eye, Reece is recording me. I turn to face him and he chuckles, "There she is! Say hi."

"What the fuck, Reece!" I laugh. He stops recording and types something on his phone before it in his pocket.

"I just sent it to Blake, don't worry." Reece says. "I'm making him jealous, because he's stuck at home with hay fever."

"Poor Blake." I chuckle.

"We're such mean best friends." Reece says as he looks at me. I look back at him and say, "We are."

"So, how are you feeling?" Reece asks. "Are you scared or nervous?"

"I'm terrified. I'm just glad you're here with me to smooth things out. This is going to sound really cheesy but, you're my safe place." I admit, my cheeks turning into a light shade of pink.

Reece smiles and asks, "Really?"

I nod, "Yeah. You keep me calm and collected. You also keep me grounded and you're not afraid to put me in my place and I appreciate you for that." 

"Thank you. That means a lot to me, not going to lie." Reece lightly chuckles, "I'm always going to be here for you no matter what...also Blake."

"I'm always going to be here for both of you two as well. You know when you said this is all planned and it happened because of a reason?" I ask. Reece just nods so I continue, "Then, I'm thankful that you guys are part of it." I rest my head on his shoulder and he does rests his head on top of mine.

"I'm glad too." Reece says.

I wish that we could stay like this forever, but we all know that we couldn't. Time doesn't work that way; it just keeps going.

Hours later, we finally arrive in London and we don't know where to begin. Everything is so fast pace, yet my world is slowly revolving around the fact that I'm finally in London on the way to find my biological parents.

"So Y/N, how do we get to the orphanage?" Reece asks me, adjusting his backpack.

"There's only one way....a cab." I sigh. We both hail a cab and tell the cab driver where to go. There's a little bit of traffic so, I plan out what I'm going to do in my head.

"What are you thinking about, Y/N?" Reece asks.

"I'm planning out what I'll do when I get there. I'm so nervous and I don't know if I could speak straight." My voice shakes and tears start to form in my eyes. This whole thing is now becoming overwhelming.

Reece sighs as he cups my face with his soft hands, "You'll be fine. I'll be right here. If it makes you comfortable, I'll be the one who'll do all the talking, leave it to me. I got your back. Just calm down and don't stress yourself."

I nod and smile at him gratefully, "Thank you so much for this, Reece."

"No problem." He smiles with his dimples showing before he kisses my forehead.

We split the payment for the cab before we get out. The cab leaves and Reece and I just stand in front of the orphanage. It didn't look scary like I'd imagine it to be. I take a deep breath and enter with Reece quickly following. We approach the lady on the front desk and she quickly stops what she's doing.

She looks up at Reece and I with a genuine smile on her face, "Are you here to adopt?"

Reece and I choked on air when she asked that. "No, god no. We're too young to be parents and we're not dating." Reece awkwardly chuckles.

"Oh, my apologies. What can I help you with?" the lady giggles. 

She looks like she's in her late twenties and judging by the ring on her left hand, she's either engaged or married. She's really pretty as well.

"We're here to ask if you know any of this?" Reece asks, he looks at me and I quickly hand him the folder. Reece gives it to the lady. She opens the folder and reads everything.

"Okay, she's from this orphanage. What do you need?" the lady asks sweetly.

"That girl on the folder is actually the girl next to me and we were wondering if you have any information on who her biological parents could. All it says in the folder are their names and e-mail." Reece says.

"We do have their information and it's updated. I'm afraid I can't tell you this information." the lady sadly smiles.

"Oh." Is all Reece says.

"However, I'll make an exception for you guys and you seem to need it a lot. Let me go through the files and write it down on a piece of paper. I'll be right back." she smiles widely as she gets up from her seat.

Reece looks at me and smiles, "I hope you know what your next plan is. We're going to meet your parents."

"This is really it, huh?" I ask and Reece just nods. He looks back at the lady when she comes back. She hands Reece a small piece of paper and gives the folder back to Reece, "Don't tell anyone."

"Thank you so much!" Reece smiles and I smile too.

"You're welcome. I hope you find them." the nice lady smiles. We thank her again and we leave.

"Oh my god!! We got it!!" I squeal and I give Reece the biggest hug as he lifts me off the ground. "Thank you so much!" I tell him.

"No problem! Let's grab something to eat first, I'm starving." Reece laughs. I nod and we walk around to look at places where we could eat.
