"I've just been so upset. I feel so alone. I don't have anybody here that understands what I'm going through."

"I do Aimee…"

"What do you mean?"

"Well when I was about 20, I found out that I had been adopted."

"What? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because I had no reason too."

"What did you do when you found out?"

"Well I was a bit angry at first, but then I cam to realize that being angry didn't help anyone at all so I decided to find my birth parents."

"Did you find them?"

"Well it was too late to find my mother…she died a while back. But my father was working in Melbourne. He was an architect. We sat down and talked and then we became good friends."

"So you weren't angry with him once you knew who he was?"

"Well yes and no. I was angry because I didn't know why. Now I do I realized that maybe being adopted wasn't so bad."

"Do you think if I find my real parents that I'll be happy?"

"Well…it depends."

"On what?"

"Well I'll start from the beginning…" Jonesy sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm just not sure that I know how to tell you…or that I'm the one that should be telling you. I just think your mum…Rebecca…should be here as well."

"I don't want to hear it from her. She'll just make up lies. I know you'll tell me the truth. I can trust you."

Those words almost tore Jonesy's heart out. She had just said she trusted him, yet he had been keeping this secret from her for her whole life.

"Jonesy…you okay? You look kind of white."

"Yeah…ah where was I?"

"You were about to tell me why my parents dumped me!"

"Well for started you weren't dumped. You were taken away from your father."

"What? But why? Who would do that?"

"Well actually…it was your mum…sorry Rebecca."

"Why would she do that?"

"Because she…like everyone else who loved you…was really worried that you wouldn't get a proper upbringing."

"I still don't get it. I mean if my parents were still alive…then why would they take me away? They couldn't?"

"Well that's the thing. Your mother died just hours after you were born..."

"And my father?"

"Aimee listen…there's something I need to tell you…I've been trying to tell you for years now…but I've always been stopped. "I'm your father Aimee."

"What?" Aimee cried. "You mean…you've been there all along and you've never told me…not once have you ever thought to mention the fact that you were my father?"

"I'm sorry. I really wanted to…but Rebecca and your grandparents thought it was best this way…they thought that you would be much better off being raised by two parents…who could actually afford to keep you…not a teenage boy who hadn't even finished school yet, didn't have a job and had no idea about raising kids."

"So you gave me up for my sake? So I would have a better life? Did anyone think about how I would feel…how I do feel now that I know the truth? I would have been so much better off knowing the truth…"

"I wanted to tell you Aimee. I wanted so much to be more than just your uncle…but everyone else thought it was for the best that you didn't know. Nobody understood…I wanted so badly for you to know…it was just so hard for me not being able to tell you…watching you grow up calling someone else dad…"

"I always thought…I knew that something was going on...the way you and my parents were always arguing…and when you disappeared for months and didn't come back…I missed you so much…to tell you the truth I always wished that you were my father." Aimee smiled at him.

"I love you so much Aimee…and if I could go back and change things I would…all I ever wanted was to be your dad…"

"Well…now you can be."

"What?"

"Dad…" Aimee hugged him.

"Oh Aimee." He hugged her back.

"I'm so glad I finally told you the truth. I am so sorry I kept it from you for so long."

"It's okay Dad…I understand." Aimee hugged him even tighter. "I love you."

"I love you too. So, so much." He kissed her head and tears ran down his cheeks.

"I am so happy that you are my dad…"

"I'm happy too." Jonesy replied. "Oh crap…I've got to tell Rebecca…she'll want to know…"

"It's okay…I'll tell her. I've got to talk to her anyway. She thinks I hate her."

"Well you did throw her out of the room…" Jonesy laughed. "And she knows you don't hate her. She's just upset that you don't trust her anymore."

"Well she did keep my life a secret from me for 16 years…why should I trust her?"

"Hey I've got to get to work. I've been gone for too long already. The boss is going to be mad."

"Well I'll be waiting for you. I'll be here when you get back." Aimee smiled.

"I love you." He said as he stood up.

"I know." She replied with a huge grin. She was just happy that she had finally found her father.

"See you tonight." He smiled back and he left the house.

Well this was a really crappy chapter…but it's a chapter none the less…I'm gunna do white Christmas tomorrow…till then I've gotta run…I'm meeting a friend for lunch!

Ciao dudes!
