"I
thought I'd find you here" said a voice from behind.
Robbie
turned around to see Jade standing there. "I came home for a
surprise visit, walked in, Beth's crying and dads comforting her,
Tasha and Kim had our phone and address book, compulsively calling
people and the twins weren't complaining about anything, I knew
there had to be something wrong" said Jade as she sat down beside
Robbie. "Who told you?" asked Robbie. "Scott" said
Jade.
"How did you get through something like this?" asked
Robbie. "Well at first I didn't want to even believe what was
happening but eventually I accepted it and moved on, they're still
my family, I'm always going to be a Sutherland" said Jade. "Its
like everything I've ever known was a lie, it hurts so much I want
to scream till voice is hoarse" said Robbie. "I know but it will
get better eventually," said Jade. "Yeh but at least you know
your real parents, you can visit the Degroots any time you want! My
real fathers dead and my mother could be over the other side of the
world for all I know?" said Robbie anger rising inside of
him.
"Look Robbie! I'm just trying to help," said Jade
angrily. "I know I'm sorry," said Robbie. "At least come back
to the house with me so every can see you're alright," said Jade.
"All right but I'm not staying there tonight!" said Robbie.
When they arrived back at the house Beth and Kit were standing in the
kitchen, Robbie walked in and immediately Kit rushed up to Robbie and
wrapped her arms around him.
"Listen Rob, no matter what,
you'll always be my little brother" said Kit. "Thanks Kit, are
Kim and Tasha still here?" asked Robbie. "Yeh they're upstairs
in you room" said Kit. Robbie walked up the stairs and entered his
room. Kim and Tasha looked up suddenly when Robbie entered. "Robbie
are you ok? We were worried!" said Tasha as she practically pounced
on Robbie. "Um yeh I'm alright, listen Tasha do you think Irene
would mind if I stayed the night at her house?" asked Robbie.
"Um
yeh I don't think she'd mind," said Tasha. Robbie stuffed some
clothes in a bag and they headed downstairs. Robbie entered the
kitchen. "Robbie where are you going?" asked Beth fresh tears
springing to her eyes. "I'm staying at Irene's, I can't stay
here, bye M- Beth" said Robbie. When they arrived at Irene's
Robbie and Kim sat in the lounge room while Tasha made some tea.
Suddenly the front door swung open and in walked Irene. The first
thing she noticed was Robbie's clothes bag. "Ok what are you guys
up to?" asked Irene Raising an eyebrow.
"Ah, Rob do you
want me to explain?" asked Kim. "Um yeh if you want" said
Robbie almost ripping the pillow that he had been holding. "Well?"
asked Irene impatiently. "Tasha and I found a document in the
Sutherland attic and when we read it we found out that it was an
adoption document with Robbie's name on it" said Kim. "Oh
Robbie! I'm sorry sweetheart," said Irene pulling Robbie into a
tight hug. Tasha walked into the lounge room and set a cup of Tea
down in front of everyone.
"So what are you going to do
now?" asked Tasha. "Well I guess I'm going to find out who I
really am" said Robbie. "Robbie you listen here! You are Rhys and
Beth's son, my second son slash fix it guy, Tasha's Boyfriend and
Kim's best mate! That's who you are!" said Irene sternly. "You
know what Irene your right, Rhys is my father, because I knew that he
was adopting me, My supposed Mother lied to me my whole life about
where I really came from!" said Robbie angrily. "Rob, man, calm
down" said Kim.
"I'm going to find my mother, if it's
the last thing I do" said Robbie. "Well what ever you decide
Robbie, we'll support you," said Irene. Irene suddenly looked at
her watch. "Oh sorry, I have to help out at the diner, Kim you have
a double shift on the beach as well" said Irene. "I'll see you
guys later ok?" said Kim as he ran off after Irene.
"Robbie,
what ever happens I will always be your friend" said Tasha smiling
as she pulled Robbie into a tight hug. "Thanks Tash that means a
lot to me" said Robbie.
