Hidden Angst
It all started the night I was out all night. I had been at a party, but it wasn't my fault, really. An ice storm halted all traffic. I spent the night in the bus station. Believe me it was no Hilton. There were no pillows, only a smelly stale bench. It was the worst night of my life. Of course it was going to get worse. What was to come was an event that would change my life forever.
The buses weren't able to start running until late the next morning. I was so incredibly relieved to be home. I hope that mom and dad aren't to worried. I tried to call them a few times, but the phone lines were all down.
my parents both rush over and hug me.
BABY! We were so worried about you.
Where have you been?
Sorry Momma, Daddy. I tried to call but the lines were down. I had to spend the night in a smelly old bus station. It was horrible!
Momma and Daddy exchanged a look.
See dear, Mimi didn't run away. Daddy said.
Why would I run away?
We need to tell her, before she finds it out.
Find out what? I ask.
They both look at me. And then at each other.
Mimi dear, why don't you go relax. You had a rough day.
But you said you needed to tell my something. Are you giving me my own credit card? I ask hopefully.
Your mother and I need to talk alone. Daddy says firmly.
I close the door to my bedroom. I press my ear against the wall, I hoping to hear some of their conversation, but their whispering. I flop back on my bed, and visually scan my closets for something to wear. My flare jeans, nah I wore those last week. It takes me a long time to find the perfect outfit to wear. Maybe I have too many clothes, but I was an only child for 11 years, so I guess you can say I'm kinda spoiled. Although I love my baby brother dearly. My friends warned me that I wouldn't be as important to my parents when they had another baby, but it didn't happen. Besides now I have another person that loves me just as much as Mommy and Daddy Timmy. He even can speak my name now. He calls me Me Ma. How cute is that?
I had just showered and dressed when Daddy called me.
Mimi, sweetie, we need to talk with you.
Whats wrong? They both look so sad, so serious.
My dad looks at mom. Why don't you tell her.
Your father and I were both shocked when we discovered I was pregnant with little Timmy. You see Mimi, we had tried for years to have a baby, but we couldn't conceive. We gave up any hope of ever having a child.
My father picks up the story. And then one day while we were traveling north of Odabia, we found a home for abandoned and orphaned children, Cabbage Pie Palace or something like that.
Mom chimes in. We had to go in, and then we saw the prettiest baby, sweetly cooing at us.
our pretty little flower girl. daddy adds.
You mean I'm not your daughter?
Oh Mimi. my mother cried. You don't know how it hurts me to tell you this.
All my life you've been lying to me! How could they have done this to me.
Mimi, please understand. You are our daughter. Just because that we aren't your biological parents doesn't mean we love you any less.
I burst into tears. What else could I do? My entire life was a lie. My father held me and stroked my hair, but for some reason, all I could think about is this lie my parents had made me live.
Momma, Daddy, I need to go be alone, okay?
Sure baby. Daddy says.
Supper will be ready at 6:00 p.m. My mother adds.
I close the door to my room. The mirrors reflected back a sad looking Mimi . But I didn't know who she was anymore. There was an entire big piece of my past missing. WAIT, If I found my birth mother, wouldn't that make me whole again? I could find out who I really am!
I turned to the only person I knew that could help me.
