Chapter One
"So when were you guys going to tell me?" He softly asked.
"Son, Declan, sit down… please." Wendell asked politely from across the table.
"No." His voice started to come up a little.
"Honey we were going to tell you I swear," she sobs, "but you were so young and so fragile. We wanted to wait for the right time."
"It wasn't the right time when I turned eighteen four months ago and it wasn't the right time when I was old enough to understand everything. No it was the right time when I accidentally found my real birth certificate this morning. Why? If I never had never found it, you would've never told me."
"Declan what do you want us to say? We're sorry okay." His father softly says, tears still threatening to pour out.
"Sorry that you didn't tell me or that I found out." He hated seeing them cry, he didn't mean to, but then again he did. All these years of thinking he belonged to them, the lies.
"Sorry about all of it son. Look at your mother, we are sorry, we never meant to hurt you."
"Even if it that were true…..you did."
He walks out, aggressively slamming the door.
He couldn't believe adoptive parents had lied to him and led him on for years.
