Maly fern she's innocently naive to the world around her but when you look beyond the small frail girl you see the darkness that surrounds her and the bruises she keeps at bay so no one can pick up on her sad story.
Lion Wilkins now he i...

I was stunned. My eyes were glazed over. I didn't know what to do. My mind was running a mile a minute it wasn't until I felt lions hand run comforting circles on my back calming my nerves.
"I'm sorry I think I heard you wrong could you repeat that?" I say shaking my head making sure I heard her correctly.
"I understand you might be in shock" shock was an understatement as I was supposed to just accept them with open arms after they left me with that monster, I didn't know what to say or think I was frozen to the spot. They were just standing there as if they were innocent. If I was on my own, I would have closed the door right in their faces but lion had a firm hand on the door and he wouldn't allow me to close it.
"You can't say you blame me after all you did leave me as a baby, I thought you died. I was told you were killed in a car crash and that I was the only survivor," I say with enough venom to make the woman claiming to be my mother flinch.
She bows her head as if feeling guilty for what she did: is it bad that I want her to feel bad for what she did or am I just being a bitch I felt like I had every right to act like this but why did it make me feel guilty?
"Would you like to follow us into the living room to finish this conversation?" lion objects before I could even find an excuse for them to leave.
lion points the way as I kept as far back as possible trying to prolong this conversation. they sit on the three-seater couch while me and lion take the love seat on the other side of the living room trying to keep distance between us, he must have told everyone to leave the living room because it was now deserted, I couldn't even see Vinni knowing full well if she knew my parents were here, she would have bit their heads off for leaving me.
"Is there anything you would like to ask us we will be completely honest with you?" they say while holding the hands of each other as her husband rubbed her back for support.
"Did you know what happened to me?" I say in a hushed voice.
tears well up in her eyes as she looks at me confirming that she knew what I had gone through but instead of feeling loved I felt angry.
"so you knew what happened to me and thought now was the right time to step in as parents!!" I seethe almost getting out of the chair to get my point across.
"No, we just didn't know what we were doing. We were young and just wanted to live a life so we gave you to the orphanage where we thought a loving family would take you in and give you a life we couldn't" my so-called father claimed holding his wife's arm.
I place my head in my hands hoping to bring some extra comfort to my now aching heart. I was having a nice meal with my new family. Is that too much to ask for without any drama.
