Chapter 5: The truth revealed part two.

Alone

By Stefani Baucom

I am alone,

So very alone

I hurt,

So very bad

I am ignored,

Just thrown aside

I am security,

For others to have

I am lonely,

There is no one close,

No one sees the pain

I cry,

Hope is gone

I am alone,

And no one knows.

Ella stood looking around her, before her where endless people and behind her the same. The family in next queue along were doing the same checking their watches every five minuets and complaining about an engagement ring? Ella kept her self to her self if she was gonna nick the top she didn't want anyone to put a name to her face. A few minuets passed by again and the young blonde girl of the family was complaining saying they were wasting valuableshopping time. Ella smiled inwardly to her self, the girl had it all; the looks the parents with the money brothers presumably, she could never know what it would be like to live through what she had; she would never know the pain.

Ella moved forward still keeping her self to her self. Jill stared at her watch and begged the queue to go faster. Looking around she saw a girl who was obviously home less standing in the queue next to them. Jill felt sorry for her she hated seeing anyone in that position, 'life must be hard for her, she cant be more than 20 years old' Jill thought then was distracted by Molly's whining.

Tim looked around trying to find the nearest tool store he could disappear into, not a one in sight. 'Darn!' he thought to him self and also caught the glimpse of the homeless girl in the next queue considering she stood out, she must have been the only homeless person there and everyone knew it. He felt like handing her some cash but knew he should just stay out of it.

The queue now moved forward quite considerably and the Taylor family now arrived at the front at the same time as Ella.

"Ok names please?" The nurse on the right said to the head of the Taylor family, at this point Jill stepped forward and read out the names of her family and her self.

Ella listened in to what she was saying and forgot she was also at the front of the queue.

"Name please!" The nurse said for the third time.

"Sorry Ella, Ella Wright." She responded finally

"Ok Miss Wright do you know your blood group?" Ella had to think but then responded at the exact same time as Jill

"No I don't know my blood group sorry." Ella replied

"Ok well you'll need to come back at this time tomorrow for testing. There will be mobile testing blood groups on the car park area top floor." The nurse on the right repeated the exact same thing to Jill and both Ella and Jill took their appointment cards and walked away. Jill walked out of the crowd and stopped to put the appointment in her handbag when there was a lot of shouting going on from the other side of the crowd. Everyone stopped and watched the homeless girl grab the top and shove old ladies to the floor as she ran up the escalator and out of the building with a few security guards following her.

"I can't believe that…" Jill echoed the thought of almost all of her family watching the fiasco. Jill was disappointed about having to wait till tomorrow but according to her appointment card she was in mobile number two at 10am exactly. She'd have to wait for her thoughts to be settled for now she would enjoy the day out (what was left of it) with her family.

Ella ran like she had never ran before they were catching up with her, she was loosing speed, she was getting tired. Ella rounded the corner to the car park when a security guard popped out from the corner dead in front of her. Luckily she was going too quickly and when she smacked dead into him he fell over and she carried on running.

Dashing off she sprinted as hard as fast as she could, she had no idea where she was going just get away from the guards. As she ran she gripped the appointment card in her hand and held onto it as if meant her life. Running for almost half an hour now Ella had forgotten she was running and had long ago escaped the police she was now stood on the edge of town near to where she slept and slowed down before she came to a dead stop. Her legs ached now and she breathed hard, deciding not to go back into town till tomorrow she crawled down under the bridge and covered her self with the broken blanket. She felt the sweat trickle down her forehead and wiped it away quickly.

Sitting there she couldn't help but let her mind wander back to that family and how perfect it was, she remembered her real mom and tears started forming in her eyes at the top of her lungs she shouted

"I hate you!" Tears now brought up the dust on her cheeks and Ella curled into a bawl sobbing long into the evening and night.

The next morning…

Ella giggled to her self as she felt something soft brush across her face and tickle her nose. Opening her eyes a pure white cat sat down next to her and began grooming itself.

"Hello pretty kitty" Ella laughed then realized what it was sitting on, shooing it off she picked up the top and wondered what time it was dashing to sit up she ran from under the bridge and to the clock tower it was 09:40am, she was late! Running just as hard as she did yesterday she saw her old friend and didn't stop to hand her the, top just threw it at her and carried on running. When Ella got to the car park; she saw the Taylor family get out of their car the same people as yesterday just in fresh clothes.

The young girl winged about needles and followed her mother inside. Ella now moved up closer and walked into the same mobile. Jill was the first to notice the girl as she walked in, everyone there knew she was the one who had stolen the top, but none of them would tell the police on her because she probably needed that top to survive. Ella sat down not speaking or even looking at the tailors sat on the opposite side of the room. Everything was quiet until a nurse walked out.

"Hi sorry to keep you waiting you Miss Wight and The Taylor's I presume?" He said looking at the one girl then the big family. Each nodded and he continued to tell them what was going to happen and not to be nervous. First he took each of the Taylor's in by age order Molly being last when she came out she sat down and Ella waited for her turn. A few minuets had passed and Ella was called into a room to get her blood taken so they could work out what blood group she was. When she returned they were all told I would be a few minuets. A nervous silence filled the air and no-one looked at each other. Walking back out the nurse coughed a little to get their attention.

Jill sat there hoping they had found something but from the look on the nurses face it wasn't good she didn't want anything bad she just wanted to know if maybe Molly had a genetic disease that's why she was different, but she wasn't even sure they could do that without looking for it.

"I'm sorry we are going to have to take all the test again there has been a slight mix up and miss calculation can I ask all of you to please be prepared for another blood test." The nurse said and walked away. This wasn't good something was wrong Jill could sense it. Tim held Jill's hand tight and Brad, Mark and Randy all looked at each other, Molly sat back in her chair leaning her head on her dad's shoulder.

4 Hours later and they were just finished testing the last set they had just done of blood samples. A nurse walked out and looked at both Ella and the Taylor's.

"I'm afraid there seems to be something wrong with the blood groups of Ella Wright and Molly Taylor; I need to send all of you up to the nearest hospital immediately for more in depth tests."

"What's wrong with Molly? I need to know!" Jill stood up in a panic scared now more than ever.

"I'm sorry I can't reveal that until I am absolutely sure we need to get you all up the hospital immediately please." She said and ushered them out of the door and slowly but shortly they made their way to the hospital.

A few days had passed now and Ella sat in her room opposite to where the Taylor's where, they never came in to each others rooms, they kept their distance during the test procedures.

Finally after a few more hours a nurse walked down the corridor and looked at both rooms. She entered the Taylor's room first and shut the door behind her pulling up a spare chair.

"Well?" Jill asked impatient and Tim took her hand is his; they all sat there facing the doctor as she began.

"I'm afraid I have the test results for both Miss Ella Wright and Miss Molly Taylor here in my hands. We have checked and double checked all of our records and the results, now basing on the fact that we had a sample of Ella's father's blood on record. It appears that on May the 2nd 20 years ago you Mrs. Taylor gave birth to a baby girl, but across the hall from you another woman named Mrs. Janice Wright also gave birth to a baby girl although the results where not on record we have a signed confession from a nurse who previously worked here that man was found in the incubation unit where both girls Molly and Ella were taken. In conclusion we regret to inform you that your baby's were switched at birth. Mrs. Taylor and Mr Taylor you birth child is Miss Ella Wright. Ella's parents well her mother who is dead and her father who can not be found are the birth parents to Miss Molly Taylor."

The nurse finished reading her statement and looked up at the family Molly stood up in shock and started screaming

"NO! NO! IT CANT BE TRUE!" She screamed only to be hugged by Tim as he got up in disbelief. Jill had tears forming in her eyes she couldn't believe it. None of the Taylor's could.

"How could it be?" Jill asked and broke down into sobs

"Now I'm sorry but I must go and tell Miss Wright what I have just told you." The nurse said and walked out of the room and into the next. Everything went quiet and Molly sat in a corner on a chair sobbing her heat out. Looking up as the door opened Ella walked inside and Molly launched at her full of anger only to be held back by Brad, Jill stood up holding Tim's hand slowly as she pulled away her hood to reveal her tortured past her scars where evident. Ella knew exactly what she was going to say but it didn't stop her from being terrified looking up at them they gasped at her miss treatment. Molly got even more angry and lashed out at her

"Why don't you stay out of our lives! Go back to the streets dirt bag!" Ella held her anger in but she couldn't anymore she gave just as good back to Molly

"I don't know you I came here and these tests done because it was the right thing to do. You have your happy life with your posh cars and your planed weddings you may be my biological parents but that will never change my past. As for you Molly you have absolutely no idea what pain is I had to watch the woman I loved more than anything in this life my so called mother drink herself to sleep every night until finally one day she killed a fireman and her self in a house fire! Then I got shoved from orphanage to orphanage because nobody wanted me until I finally ended up street crawling I watched being a 7 year old as my so called new father beat up my mum and sexual abused me! I felt each crack of his knuckle as he crushed my tiny body so don't you dare to presume I have got it easy I was forced to lead YOUR stupid life and let you have all the comforts of mine, if I could go back and change it though I wouldn't and you know why? Because nobody deserves to go through what I have been through!"

With that said everyone stood shocked Jill had broken down into sobs and Tim looked at his biological daughter he wanted to kill whoever it was that had touched her and laid a hand on her suddenly she was all that mattered in his mind as he looked at her broken soul. But as soon as she had appeared she was gone she pushed her hood over her head and opened the door

"Let's pretend this never happened go back home to your happy lives pretend what you heard here wasn't real." Ella looked up and a tear fell down her cheek as she rushed out the door and down the hall way, down the stairs and out of the hospital she had run much longer before but she was crying so hard she couldn't breathe she managed to make it to a wall down the left hand side of the hospital where she collapsed and sobbed hard sitting against the wall trying to catch her breath.
