Chapter 1
"mum? is that you ? " I asked with blurry eyes , crying was all I could do , shock overwhelmed me .
"Yes darling, I love you" and I snapped right out of bed.
It was 4 in the morning, I was having the usual dream I have every night, where I see a black haired woman and all I could say is "mum? is that you " I know she isn't my mum , but I have been having that dream for few months now, and I always ask if she is my mum in my dream , but she isn't , I mean my mum is right out side and she is different then the one I see in my dreams .
My name is Isabella , but I rather people call me Bella , I am 16 , my eyes are dark green with black hair ,, the point is , I don't look like my mother,, the only thing we have together is the same hair she has , mine is black and her's is black to , but nothing else.
I was told that I have got my green eyes from my grand grand grandma, since no one in my family but me had the same color as my eyes.
I have a little sister called Deanna, she is younger then me by 8 years.
I got up with numb legs and I walked to the bathroom , I splashed my face cause I know I wont be sleeping any time soon .
After I went to the bathroom I sat in my bed for a while , thinking of what I could do in 4 in the morning on a school day.
I grabbed the book that was lying next to the bed and opened it, I started reading , readying always made me feel like I am in a different world , in my own world where no one can catch me.
I took an hour reading what was left of the book; I put it on the shelf next to all of the books.
Ok it might sound weird for a girl to wake up this early and starts readying, but it was normal for me, I was used to waking up early cause of my dreams, but I couldn't fall back a sleep.
Since there were 2 hours left till it was time to go to school, I thought maybe I should sleep a bit, maybe just maybe I can fall back a sleep.
And to my surprise I did fall back a sleep, a dreamless, peaceful sleep.
When the sun shined brightening my room, And the sound of the alarm woke me up ,, I scrubbed my eyes getting them to open up again, I opened my eyes and got right up.
"Bella, come on you're going to be late"
"Am coming mum" I called as I got my back and went down the stairs.
School was a fun place for me , it was where me and my best friend Rosalie get to spend most of our day , having fun , well…ok not so much fun since we have to study and all of that , but all in all , it was great.
After class I saw Rosalie in the hall, she was the attractive kind and I was the normal type but I loved that.
She had blonde hair and big blue eyes, like the girls you watch on TV, she was really pretty which attracts guys to her all the time.
"BELLAAAAAAAA" she screamed, almost the whole school heard her.
"Heeyy" I said
She came and hugged me, "I missed you soo much!" it was Monday, we haven't seen each other in the weekend.
"Ha-ha yeah me too"
"So I hared that Kevin guy has a crush on you"
"Come on Rosalie, How many times have I told you? I don't want to date any one ok? Just …let it go k"
"Ok fineeeeeeeeeeee what ever you say, Hay but listen tonight come over at my house, it's been a while since you last visited" she said with a huge smile on her face.
"I don't know rose …I'll see"
"Oh come on, pleeeeeeeeeassse, you don't have anything important to do am sure, please"
"I'll see Rosalie, I promise"
Never would have guessed that this would change my life.
When my mum heard that I was going to Rosalie's house she said she is coming to, my mum and Rosalie's mum have been friends for years now.
So when we arrived at her house, witch was so close to ours, Rosalie took my by the hand to her room.
we talked a little bit , and then I needed to drink some water so I got up and went to the kitchen , when I was about to leave the kitchen I heard my mum's voice , she wasn't just talking she sounded like she was arguing , I listened more carefully .
"I can't do anything about it ok!" my mum said
"Yes you can, you can't keep this up Martha" Rosalie's mum Samantha said out loud.
"Shhhhhhhh,, I don't want her to hear anything"
"Look Martha, this has taking too long, she is 16 years old now, she will find out the truth sooner or later , and its all in one picture , just one !"
What truth? What the hell is going on?
"She wont, I will make sure she doesn't ..."
"But can you do that? You get scared every time she goes to your room, you panicked the day she asked you why her eyes are different then yours, this will be really hard"
"I can keep it up, I have to"
What was going on? I didn't understand, I walked out and into Rosalie's room, I told her everything I heard.
"I don't know Bella, maybe it wasn't about you"
"Did you hear what I told you? It's about me"
"Yeah but… I really don't know what to say"
"I have to know what's going on"
"You cant just go and ask her!"
"I know, but I have another idea"
I wanted to tell my mum that I was going to go out tonight with a couple of friends , I walked into her room but she wasn't there , and my dad was in work as usual , he is always late at work , i walked abit and I heard my mum scream behind me :" Bella ! What are you doing in my room ?"
"Mum, I wanted to tell you I was going to go out tonight with few friends and …"
She cut me off" fine ok , just ..Lets go out to the living room , she looked like she wanted me out of the room as soon as possible "
Remembering that day, I knew she was hiding something from me in her room.
"Rose, she is hiding something, I know she is"
"Then check in her room maybe you'll find something"
"I will … as soon as we get home"
Hours passed slowly, my head could only think of the thing my mum was hiding from me, what could it possibly be? Why couldn't she just tell me? I mean I never thought she would hide anything from me, and dad, did he knew what she was hiding from me? of course he knew , my mum and dad were college sweethearts , they loved each other for years , I always looked at them as a team , wonderful , amazing and strong , she would hide anything from him ,but why did she hide something from me ? no matter how much I thought about it I didn't know what it was , Rosalie and I kept talking about it wondering and thinking our thoughts coming back empty , nothing was possible , we just came up to the fact that there are 3 ways with I could know what was going on behind my back …
1. was that I ask my mum, which was so hard and I knew she wouldn't tell me the truth, and I didn't have the guts to ask her.
2. that I go to my mum's room and check what she was hiding from me .
3. was to ask my dad or pretend like I knew everything so that they pour our the info.
Ok number 1 and 3 were not very good, so am guessing ill go with number 2.
When we were home , I was shocked of the chance that was laid in front of me , Deanna was at her friend's house playing since we left , my mum was in the bathroom showering and my dad was at work , it was the perfect time to know what was in that room that my mum didn't want me to find out about .
Ok it might not be such a big deal, maybe it was nothing, but I needed to know , but ..Where will I look first? And what exactly will I be looking for ?
I am not sure I can do this , maybe they were joking , what could my mum possibly be hiding from me ? I don't think it's a big deal.
My heart told me to go in , to find out what was going on , I held the door handle , and went inside , looking around I knew my mum was still in the shower , I went inside and looked around , what was it that I was looking for ?
I went to my mum's drawer all I could find were normal stuff, nothing weird or anything.
I searched all the drawers but couldn't find a clue.
" come on " I whispered to my self as I ran through the useless papers .
I heard the shower door open and close again , my mum is coming ! I panicked so I closed the drawer and went running out side .
I ran to my room.
"Shit" I said with disappointment, because well I couldn't find anything.
This could only mean that I was wrong, they aren't hiding any thing from me , maybe when my mum was talking to Rosalie's mum Samantha , she was talking about some series they were watching or something , but wait a sec …
If they were talking about a series my mum wouldn't have said :" shhh I don't want her to hear a thing "
I don't know what this whole thing is about , but I cant do anything , all I could do is wait and see where all of this leads me to.
That week passed like any other , school and home works , and that dream kept coming every night , like there was some kind of a message that was meant to be told to me only I couldn't know what it meant , no one knew about my dream , I never thought it meant anything , I stopped thinking about it,
I keep thinking about the whole secret thing now , I mean I heard my mum with my own 2 ears saying she was hiding something ,only I couldn't know what, so I tried to forget it , I mean with time I will know what it was .
A month or so after that, we finished our exams and the holiday finally arrived! 3 months with out school, I was excited, never knew what was coming.
One day, it took only one day to make me put the pieces together to understand the picture …oh and um …yes a picture was all it took for me to understand, well. Not everything, but part of everything.
Every one was out , except for me , I was sleeping and so they left me and went out , I went to my parents room and again , searched for something I didn't know.
I gave up and looked through the bed side table , next to where dad slept , I found a picture , it was of me when I was a little girl , it was just me alone , standing wearing a pretty little dress and holding a teddy bear , I never saw that picture before , or maybe I don't remember it.
Something was wrong about the picture …
I wasn't here in our house, and my mum never said we moved before, the place was one I have never seen before.
"Look Martha, this has taking too long, she is 16 years old now, she will find out the truth sooner or later , and its all in one picture , just one !"
And then it clicked.
I took the picture in my hand trying to make sense of what was going on, what was in this picture that I wasn't supposed to see? I didn't know, where was I living?
I flipped the picture and at that moment I gasped/
There was a paper and a letter was written in it.
Hi darling …
This is you , our angel , where ever you are right now we want to tell you we love you no matter what , and wish you all the best ,, here in Boston there isn't much beauty around us but you are our pretty angel , that changed our lives , our neighbors fought over you , they wanted to adopt you but how could we possibly give up such an adorable angel ..
This picture is just to show you, your self, you were an angel sweetie and you'll always be.
Love, your parents.
Tears started to fall down my cheeks as my cheeks burned , I couldn't even catch my breath and I didn't know the reason , I didn't make sense of what was happing around me , my mum hiding something from me , hearing her talk with Rosalie's mum Samantha , some thing about a picture , hiding something in her room , my green eyes , it all fit into one picture I could see in my head a picture I wanted to remove from my head , to tear it apart , I didn't want to believe the truth that was right in front of my eyes , all the cells in my body reacted to what I was now holding.
I knew for sure that this wasn't neither of my parent's hand writing , and I knew for sure , that they weren't living in Boston but they never had.
So all of this meant only one thing, something I didn't want to believe …
I fell the floor, wondering, thinking and crying.
I knew I had to make sure that I am right, that what am thinking isn't a lie and I hoped it would be.
Is it possible? Will they deny it? How will my life be? What will I do now? How will they react? What will I say? What will they say?
What's going on?
Something was hiding from me for 16 years,, that's for sure.
