The Return

A/N: Hey Guys! This is my first Fanfic, and I am relatively new to the whole 'fanfiction thing' so I would really appreciate it if you read this and reviewed! Anyway here we go!

Lucy's P.O.V

"We aren't your real parents." My mother's words rang through my head as I stormed out of their apartment in Pasadena, California. Tears stung my eyes as I hopped into my car and drove off to my own apartment. My phone rang, the caller ID showing a number I knew very well. It was my father's phone number. Figures. I hit ignore and continued to wipe my eyes as I tried to keep from crashing. I knew he was worried about me, but I needed time. I thought about how this had all come about.

Flashback

I had been sitting with my parents as they shifted uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" I asked them, sipping some coffee. My mother opened her mouth to speak, but shut it again. "Tell me!" I insisted. My dad took a huge breath and cleared his throat.

"There's been something we've been meaning to tell you for a while now." My dad said, staring at me. His blue eyes searched my brown eyes.

"And what is that?" I asked, suddenly very scared. Dad had tears in his eyes. Uh-oh.

"We aren't your real parents. We adopted you." Mom admitted eyes cast to the ground. I could feel my eye twitch.

"That's not funny." I told them, shooting up from my spot. "This has to be some cruel joke."

"No honey…I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed, approaching me slowly. I backed away.

"You've lied to me my entire life!" I yelled, nearly tripping over the coffee table. "If you were so sorry you would've told me earlier!"

"Honey I understand your anger, but we didn't want you to feel bad when you're friends had their real parents, and you didn't." Dad explained, seeming much calmer than mom. I shook my head angrily.

"It doesn't matter! It's better to know the truth than not know at all!" I argued.

"Honey please calm down. This wasn't easy for us to tell you." Mom, if I could even call her that now, soothed.

"I'll say." I muttered. Dad stood up and wrapped his arms around me.

"Sweetheart, listen to us. We need you not to search for him-them." I gaped at them before I threw my head back in laughter.

"That's funny! You see, you think that I won't try to find them! Haha, good one dad."

"Honey…they died in a car crash about three days ago. That's why we chose to tell you now." Mom said calmly. I choked back a sob.

"You mean to tell me that they were alive and well for most of my life, and now that they are dead you choose to tell me!" I screeched. Mom flinched.

"Lucy listen to me. We were going to tell you and give you an opportunity to find them, but they died." She was crying now. I shook my head in astonishment.

"Bull crap, mom. You weren't going to do no such thing. You obviously knew who they were if you recognized their name in the newspaper. Tell me the real reason you told me." Dad and Mom stared at each other surprised.

"You really are clever. Yes we weren't going to tell you, only because we were afraid that you were going to leave us for them." Dad said, carefully. I allowed a small smile.

"You know I love you guys too much for that. And you're right. The family that raises you is your family. Besides they didn't want me if they gave me up, right?" I was actually trying to comfort myself more than my parents, but I didn't say that. My parents nodded in relief.

"That's my girl." Dad said, kissing my forehead. I hugged them both.

"Love you guys! Anyway, I should go. It's late and this is a lot to process. Goodnight." I grabbed my stuff and left, tears stinging my eyes, anger still in me.

To hell I wasn't going to look for more information about my parents.

Flashback ended

I pulled into the parking lot and climbed out. Running over to my door, I unlocked it and immediately sat down at the computer, not even bothering to lock the door or take off my shoes. I thought about the conversation my friend and I had. When my friend needed her name cleared, there was a man that helped her and found the true culprit. I typed his name in.
