Chapter 2

I searched for a long time but could not find anything about my birth mother I threw my keyboard across my bedroom. How could there be nothing about her like she never existed! I heard a slight knock on the door, I knew it was my father but I still wasn’t ready to face him yet. So I didn’t say anything but he cracked the door enough to bring his head in. “Bug can we come in for a moment please?” I just looked at him for a moment before I shook my head yes. He opened the door wider and him and my mother walked in. They can and sat on the end of my bed, “ Bug I know your upset with your mother and I but please understand we didn’t want to lose you or think that you weren’t loved.” I sat up, “ You lied to me though, we have never lied to each other before I have been completely honest with you I have never lied.”

My mother started crying again, “ I know we lied but we were just scared I didn’t want to lose you. You see your father and I couldn’t have our own children, so when we found you we thought it was a blessing from god himself.” That shocked me they never told me they couldn’t have kids I thought they were just waiting until I was older to have another child. “ why did my mother leave me did she not want me?” I started crying immediately after those words left my mouth, my mother embraced me. “ My sweet girl this I don’t know the adoption agency didn’t give us much information on your birth mother or your father.” Honestly they kinda just pushed for us to take you, which we didn’t have a problem with it because we fell in love with you as soon as we saw you.” I cried in my mothers arms for quite sometime before we separated.

Once we pulled away from each other I looked at both my parents, “ It will take some time for me to forgive you but you will always be my parents and I still love you this is all just a shock to me right now.” They looked at me, “ We know that bug we’re not expecting for you to forgive us but I hope you understand why we chose to wait and tell you.” I just nodded my head, my father kneeled in front of me like he had for so many years “Bug, did you still want to do the party for your birthday tomorrow or should we postpone it for now?” I thought about it for a moment, “ No I still want to have a party, it’s not everyday I get to turn 18!” My father just chuckled grabbing my mothers hand, “ We will leave you alone when your hungry just come down we will put your plate in the microwave.” I just smiled and before they go to the door “Mom and Dad what was the name of the adoption agency you guys got me from?” Without hesitation they both replied, “Sacred Fire adoption in Tanzania” Then they walked out of my room making sure to close the door behind them. Why were they in Tanzania? Hmm I got off my bed picking up the keyboard I launched across the room then sat back down at my computer.

I immediately started looking for Sacred Fire in Tanzania I looked for hours but could not find it. This is so damn frustrating it’s not like a whole agency can just disappear. I walked to my bed flopping down on it once again not realizing how sleep I actually was, I sat up realizing I haven’t ate since this morning. I need to eat and shower before I sleep or I will end up waking up early. I walked out my room l, down the stairs and into the kitchen, I just pressed the reheat button on the microwave. Walking over to the fridge I grabbed my favorite juice Pineapple coconut, my parents told me I was disgusting for drinking it. But I loved the taste of it, once the microwave dinged I opened it up only now realizing my mother made me my favorite soup. Steak and potato soup and she made it homemade because she made the steak pink in the middle just like I liked it. I scarfed down my food before taking my dishes to the sink and washing them once I was done washing, drying, and putting my dishes up. I went back upstairs and in my room I had my own my bathroom, so I went straight to my bathroom turn on my shower as hot as it would go. I stripped my clothes off putting them in my dirty clothes basket before looking at myself in the mirror. I never thought I was pretty but Temperence says I am the most beautiful woman she has ever seen. My complexion was fair skinned, I never got acne, my teeth were always white and straight, I had long blonde hair with a rare eye color being my main feature. My doctor says it’s a genetic thing I just always though it came from my dads side, one eye was Violet and one was pure white. I was told by a few of the boys at school that I had a perfect body, Temperence calls it an hourglass shape with perfect symmetry my breasts and my ass were ample and I always hated that. It made it hard shopping for clothes sometimes, once I had quite admiring myself in the mirror I jumped in the shower. I realized my mom put a new bottle of my favorite shampoo and conditioner in the shower. It smelled the am rainforest and it was amazing, I relaxed in the shower until my body started to prune before getting out. I made sure to dry myself off as well as my hair before putting a night gown on and climbing into my bed. Tomorrow I would officially be an adult, I told my parents I wanted to wait to go to college and be able to explore the world, and they were ok with that. I always hated my birthday because it was always stated that I was born on October 13th, I always got made fun of for it, the kids always told me I was Michael meters birthday because of my birthday. But one of the older boys in the neighborhood always beat up the other kids for teasing me until he moved away with his family.

Hopefully sleep would find me quickly because I am exhausted from all the crying. Within moments my eyes started getting heavy and I was able to drift off into a deep sleep.
