Ok last part. Some of it is rather tedious, i.e the dialogue. But that was how i wrote it way back when!
I wasn't sure what to do with the eding either. But give it a go....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secrets & LiesThe night was soon over and it was morning again, this time Liz was up before me. I went downstairs and saw everyone crowded round a table.
“Hey sweetie, we’ve got something to tell you,” Mum said, meaning my Aunt. I looked at Liz, had she told them already? She shook her head, knowing what I was thinking. I sat down with them and got myself a piece of toast.
“What?” I said, whilst buttering my toast.
“We’re leaving today, tonight rather, see your dad doesn’t like the job over here, he prefers his one back home, so we won’t be moving out here anymore,” I dropped my toast halfway to my mouth and looked up.
“What??” I said a little amazed.
“I’m afraid we’re going back home, you’re due to start back at school next week,”
“What???” I was getting a little panicky, “I don’t think that’d be possible,” I said in unison with Liz. I could see everyone look from me to Liz.
“I’m NOT going back to that place mother, EVER,”
“What? Sweetheart what are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about the fact that you aren’t my real mother, and so you can’t make me go back there,” I said, somewhat rather cooly.
“What?” She looked horrified “where have you gotten that idea?” I could Liz’s mum and dad watching with a look of awe on their faces.
“I know, mum, and I want to stay here,”
“Know what?”
“For god sake do I have to spell it out to you? I know you aren’t me real mother and father, and that they are,” I replied pointing at what I used to think were my Aunt and Uncle. She gasped.
“But How?”
“I found the papers,” I said “And now I know, I have the right to decide who I want to stay with, and I’ve made my choice it’s here, with my sister,”
“But, you can’t you have a home with us,”
“No, that isn’t true Chloe,” My real mother said, “If she had a real home with you, you wouldn’t have sent her packing to that god forsaken boarding school, and she wouldn’t have run away, she’s right it’s her decision who she wants to stay with and she’s made it,”
“No, this is what you’ve always wanted isn’t it? For you precious little daughter to find out the truth and come running back to you,”
“Yes actually, it is, but I never made her find out did I? She found out herself,” I raised my eyebrows at my real aunt giving her a ‘ha you’ve lost’ kind of look.
She breathed in deeply, “Well actually, Jes, you’re wrong, because when you signed those adoption papers Amber was officially ours, and she still is, so if you don’t mind she will be leaving with us, and she will go back to that school, it’s the best thing that’s happened to her,” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, ‘the best thing that ever happened to me?’
“WHAT??” I screamed, and took everyone by surprise, “that place the ‘best thing that ever happened to me’? Yeah right, if that place was the best thing that ever happened to me then why did I run away huh? And tell me, if that place was the best thing that ever happened to me then why did I get these?”
I got up and turned around and lifted up the back of my top showing my scar ridden back. I heard them all gasp in horror, I turned around to face them all.
“Oh my god, Amber how the hell did you get those?” My real mum asked close to tears.
“I was bullied, for being new, and that’s why I ran away, but when I got back they all called me a traitor and so decided to torture me in anyway possible,”
“What?” My real dad whispered, he turned on my fake mum, “You let my daughter go to that place and get those??!!” he shouted, “How could you EVER let her go there? You should have known about this!”
“I never knew a thing I swear, why didn’t you ever tell us any of this?” Chloe asked me,
“I tried to, hundreds of times, when you came up to school in the office, I tried to tell you then, but all you said was that you didn’t want to hear any excuses, as I was to stay there until I had finished,”
“WHAT???” He bellowed, “You let her go to that place and get tortured, and when she tried to tell you, you said you didn’t want to hear excuses?? What kind of parents are you?”
“Obviously not good enough ones,” Jes my mum said calmly, “ She’ll be staying with us, we’ll talk to our lawyer tomorrow, goodbye, and have a good flight,”
And with that she left, Liz looked exhausted even though she’d just woken up, Mum turned to look at me, “You don’t know how many times I’ve tried to get you back, honestly, I’m just so thankful that you found out yourself and decided to stay with us,” I smiled at her and threw myself into a hug.
“I wish I’d’ve found out ages ago, you don’t know what it was like at that place,” We pulled out and she said “Well it’s no more secrets and lies from now on Amber ok? You can tell us anything,” She said with a calm relief to her voice. I hugged her again, I saw Liz do something with her hand behind her back, she did it again, she widen her eyes and shook her head almost unnoticeably, and made a jerky movement with her hands, I knew what she meant, not to tell her about the powers. Well I suppose this time one little secret wouldn’t hurt would it?
That’s when everything seemed to be fine, seemed to sort things out. I’d told people, about what they were doing to me, and I’d made a decision about my life, not to live with the fake parents I’d been brought up with. Now maybe after all those months of pain, hurt and torture, the scars would finally be able to heal. Finally be able to disappear. But, no chance. That would never happen. A tear trickled down my face as the realization hit me; I’d be stuck in this place for what seemed like eternity. A place between reality and non-existence. I was soon brought out of this trance, of destinies and decisions.
All that admittance, between Max, Liz and me, would just, well, remain what they were, a ruse to break up the mundane life that I led in Alpine Forest Boarding School. My Mum was still my Mum, my Dad still my Dad. They weren’t the illegitimate Aunt and Uncle I wished them to be.
But maybe, just maybe, one day, those ruse would come true. I could make those things happen. Maybe. As for now, changing the molecular structure of things would suit me just fine. As for America? Spending a little more time there wouldn’t hurt, would it?
====================
No we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy.....
And Ria, I am so so lazy, so I haven't read all of yours yet as it is long, but I am planning on doing so soon.
