Finding the Truth

Chapter.9

Jay POV:

Me and my team hugged for quite a while before finally releasing from the very loving moment we just had. I always knew I could count on my friends/family to be there for me, especially now I would need as much support as I can get.

I stepped back from everyone taking deep breaths to try and stabilize all the emotions that I'm feeling right now about all the things I may find out about myself. We still need to go to my dads' villa and also on top of that I need to figure out who my mom is. Why did she abandon me? Was I not good enough?

Having all these thoughts swirling in my head just makes me feel useless in a way. It hurts. I sigh looking while finding interest in the ground, catching the attention of my friends. Dang' it.

"What is it, Jay?" Lloyd asked placing a hand on my shoulder with concern in his voice.

"Why..." was all I said finding it hard to say the words I wanted to.

"Why what?..." Nya asked taking my hand in hers and giving it a gentle squeeze telling me to continue.

"Why did-...Why did she give me up?" I said looking up at them briefly before returning my gaze to the ground but also continuing "Whoever she is...Was I not good enough?"

I could tell I had caught them off guard with my question because all I heard was silence. I would be silent too, I don't blame them. Surprisingly someone broke that silence.

"Jay... we don't know. But I honestly doubt your biological parents would give you up because you weren't good enough. You're more the good enough buddy. You're our brother and we love you man. All of us." Cole said placing both of his hands on my shoulders and looking into my electric blue eyes with an encouraging smile.

I just smiled back. This guy really is my best friend. I pulled him into a hug with tears welling up in my eyes, he stood shocked for a couple of moments before returning the hug. I swear he was crushing every bone in my body.

"C-Cole can't b-breath" I managed to say catching his attention. 

"Sorry buddy," He said while releasing me from the hug so I could catch my breath and patting me on the back.

After stabilizing my breathing I looked at my friends/family with determination but also screaming with mixed emotions on the inside. I had to stay strong and I knew that. If answers were gonna be found, being strong and keeping my cool would help more then rembling right now.

"I need to go to my dads' villa. One, I just want to see it again, and Two, maybe I can find answers on my past and get to the bottom of things." I said with confidence in my voice. After saying that I remembered about my parents and how I left before. "Buuuut first, I have to speak to my parents"

They all nodded my way in understanding before starting their walk back to the front, other than Nya. She had stayed behind with me because I wanted to clean up real quick.

"I'm proud of you" She started while walking over to e and cupping my cheek "You're staying strong throughout this whole ordeal. Even though I know you're panicking inside" she said while also giving me a loving smile.

I smiled back while placing my hand over hers and leaning into the touch. Looking into those beautiful chocolate brown eyes I responded "You know me so well" giving off a small laugh which she returned.

"I'm right next to throughout t everything. Forever and always." Nya said while wrapping her arms around my waist and leaning into my chest.

" I know and Thank you," I said back returning the hug, pulling her closer to me and planting a kiss on her forehead.

We stayed like that for a bit and personally I never wanted this moment to end, but I knew it had to "Now, let's head back. I'm sure they're wondering what is taking us so long" She said pulling away and quickly pecking my lips before leading me back to others, who were patiently waiting by the entrance.

I signaled them, saying to give me a minute as I made my way towards the trailer housing my parents. I stood at the door for a couple of seconds taking deep breaths trying to keep myself calm. I managed and finally worked up the courage to open the door and peek inside to see both my parents sitting on the couch comforting each other. I felt guilt well up indie me thinking back on how I had left them before.

"Ma, Pa" I said stepping completely inside the small mobile home, coming into the view of my parents with guild evident on my face. "I'm sorry"

They stood up from the couch and walked towards me with sadness in their eyes, but I knew they felt guilty as well.

"Oh, kiddo we're sorry we didn't tell ya sooner," Dad said giving e a hug which returned telling him that it was ok. I released from the hug and turned towards my mom.

"Ma-"

I couldn't even say anything else because I was cut off by a bone-crushing hug by my mother. I was shocked at first by the strength but decided to ignore it and return it with a smile crawling upon my face. Personally, this moment didn't need any words needed to be special. This was all it needed, me and the people that have been there for me my entire life. The people who have supported me in everything I set out to do and I couldn't ask for anybody better than Ed and Edna Walker to raise me.

We pulled away from each other both of us shedding a bit of tears, but I decided to speak first "I have to go. There's just so much I don't have answers to and I need to figure it all out."

They both nodded in understanding while giving me one last hug and 'good lucks'.

I walked back to the others with a smile on my face. They gave me a smile in return but also looked at me in need of an answer for our next move, which I gave.

"We're going to my dads' place. Answers must be found and that's the only place I can think that would have any at the moment."

All nodded towards me while walking out of the junkyard with me in front leading the way. We formed our dragons and set off to our destination.
