Finding the Truth

Chapter.3

Nya POV:

Once I picked up the letter and key, taking a good look at them and just thinking about how Jay reacted, I knew what it was. I remembering Jay telling me about what Nadakhan revealed to him about his real dad. He just believed it wasn't true tho...I guess it actually is.

"oh no..." was all I could say looking at everyone in worry before dropping both items and running in the direction Jay did. 

I hope he's ok... Oh, who am I kidding, he's not ok. He's most likely stressed out from the tragic realization.

Once I came to Jay's door I could hear muffled sobs coming from the other side. Poor Jay...

I stood in front of the door having a mental argument with myself about how to talk to him about all this. I sighed, finally working up the courage after 3 minutes. I knocked.

Jay's POV: 

Flashback

"Weeell I guess one little wish wouldn't hurt" Jay wondered out loud before turning to Nadakhan and saying " but no one else would found out, right? This stays between you and me?"

"of course, cross my heart" Nadakhan responded trying to sound as reassuring and trustworthy as possible.

Jay sighed before going into Nadakhan " Ok, then I wish I wasn't born in a junkyard, I wish I wasn't poor anymore and could give Nya everything she wants"

"Your wish is yours to keep" Was all Nadakhan said before he disappeared in a cloud of orange dust.

Jay looked up at where the djinn had once been confused before hearing the ring of a bicycle. Jay turn around to see the mailman riding up to him.

" Oh, there you are! I've been looking all over Ninjago for you!"  the mailman said looking at Jay. Jay panicked a bit, looking around frantically worried that he may get caught by the police " Don't worry I won't report you to the authorities" the mailman said noticing Jay's worried state. He then reached into the basket on his bike and pulled out a letter "Just delivering the mail" he said handing Jay the mail.

Jay took the paper out of the envelope he received and read...

"I'm sorry to inform you but your father has passed, you have inherited his estate and lots and lots and lots of money..." After reading this Jay began to feel dizzy and felt as if he was gonna break down. But really he was angry. Angry at that low-level djinn.

"Why the glum face, you're rich!" The mailman said looking at Jay clearly oblivious to the Blue ninjas feelings at the moment.

Jay began to run. He sparked up his lightning dragon, hopped on and flew off not really caring who was watching, he just needs to get to the junkyard. The lightning ninja flew fast very worried about his dad Ed. 

Once he arrived at the junkyard, he let his dragon disappear and looked up at the entrance. "No Dad!" Jay yelled while running into the junkyard frantically searching for his parents " Mom! Dad!

Jay ran towards the trailer his parents stayed in, barging inside to see his mom "Mom!"

" Oh, oh what is it, son. Oh, what's all the fuss?" Edna, Jay's mom asked her heaving son.

"Wheres dad!? is he ok?"

"oh, I'm sorry Jay, he's no longer here."

As Edna replied, Jay felt like crying but before he could someone other than him or his mom said "yeah I'm back, picked up a few didliebobs. (not sure how to spell that) Ha Jay! What a welcome sight."

Jay was shocked at first seeing his dad still very much alive, but soon relief washed over him as he pulled his dad into a hug "I thought I lost you! I got this letter that said my father past away, and I inherited lots of money! I would never wish for this dad! I didn't want it to be true!" Jay ranted finally letting go of his father and turning to his mom who was gonna say something.

"Well Jay there has been something we've been meaning to tell you"

Jay was confused and looked to his dad who scratched the back of his head before saying "but ah gee wilickers there was just no easy way to say it..." he paused before continuing "you see son... you're ah, you're adopted"

End of flashback

It's true...

I'm adopted

That means Nadakhan had revealed the truth to me. I always thought he was lying, but I guess he wasn't. I just don't know how to feel about all of this... I'm actually adopted, I'm actually Jay Gordan. I need to talk to my parents... Dammit. I feel so weak, so vulnerable.

Why me?

Just why me? Haven't I been through enough already? I guess not.

I continued to cry on the floor while thinking when footsteps coming down the hall snapped me out of my thoughts. I continued to cry as the footsteps stopped outside my door, whoever was there stood for a good 3 minutes before knocking.

"Hey, Jay? May I please come in?"

That sweet voice came through the door and I knew it was my love...

Nya...
