Chapter 2

No matter how much you lie , you will get caught and the lie will torture you as long as your living , will make you wish you never did it , its like a building monster inside of you , ripping its way out , destroying your life and the person you lied to …well , they will be destroyed more.

People lie cause they are afraid of the killing truth, what they don't know is that lies are worse then the truth, it makes you believe the illusion, and never notice what you truly need to know.

My case was different , I have lived 16 years under the shades of a huge lie covering me , and keeping me inside , closing my eyes to a truth I couldn't even notice , so obvious but impossible to believe .

I have found out about the truth, the real truth 3 days ago

I was in star bucks with Rosalie , we were eating when I finally told her the whole thing , explaining every detail , pulling all the power I had inside so that my tears don't fall again .

" I am not who I think I am " I said with tears covering my sight " I don't know who I am "

" its ok Bella , am sure there is something you misunderstood , I mean your family .." I cut her off "THEY ARE NOT MY FAMILY ROSE!"

And the real truth, the whole thing is put right into this sentence:" they are not my family, I don't know who I am, and where is my family"

That was the surprising truth , the real deal , I wasn't Bella , I didn't know who I was , my family isn't my family , and for 16 years I have lived a lie, of course I never talked to my parents about it , for sure I wont now , but I will…when am ready ohh and um , I don't know if I should call them my parents , cause am sure they are not , by know I guess this is the truth they have been hiding.

I don't think I can talk to them about it can I …

Something interrupted my thoughts …

There was a handsome guy walking toward us , looking at Rosalie like she was god's greatest gifts , he had brown hair and brown eyes , well…he was attractive enough to get me distracted and I knew what he was here to say , of course he came up to Rosalie and asked her out and no wonders she said yes.

"Yay I have a date unlike some people who wouldn't date any one no matter how cute they are" Rosalie said as she was smiling a huge smile.

"Well… I never liked any of the guys I saw rose , I don't know , none of them is my type plus I have more important stuff to worry about know , I might not be Bella rose , I could be some one you don't know"

"Oh come on I know you"

"you know what I mean , I mean my parents might not be my parents , I don't know" yes I truly didn't know.

What was weird about the whole thing, wasn't the fact that they kept this from me, it was that I looked a bit like my mum...oh well, I mean the woman who I grew up thinking was my mum, I mean, sure we don't have the same eyes and my eyes were always a reason to wonder about, but what about the hair? Mine was like her's, there was so many questions that I needed to answer.

I had to know the answers, all of the answers, but how? How the hell am I going to do that? I had an idea but …it was dangerous, hard and almost impossible.

There was only one way for me to get on a plane, if I was with an adult, which means some one has to come with me, but who? Easy

The part that I didn't mention is that Rosalie is 18 which means I can go with her.

"Rose, I need you to come with me, am going to new York" it was her last year in our school; we never actually give it a thought that she was older then I was.

"NO way, no way am even letting you do this Bella"

"You will Rose, how can you live like this forever? Or do you want me to live a lie? If I don't do this now, I mean not be able to do any time soon, so please rose, for me"

"Look Bella…am not even sure my mum ..." I cut her off" don't be ridiculous we both know your mum , once you tell her a lie she will believe it and she will let you come , please "

"From where will you get the tickets?"

"Let me worry about that ok, all you have to do is say yes ..."

After few minutes she said:" I don't like where this is going"

Me:" Me neither but am glad you said yes: D" I was truly happy.

I touched my neck and realized something, some thing important.

"Rosalie…"

"Yeah?"

" my necklace , it can lead us , it can help " I have been wearing a necklace ever since I was a little kid , my mum always said its something to remind me of my mum , now that I think of it , she never said to remind you of me , she said to remind you of your mummy exactly , which meant one thing , my real mum is the one who gave me this necklace.

I took care of everything , I bought the tickets , with money I had in my card, I packed few things in a small bag and everything was ready , of course there was one thing left , how will I handle my parents ? if I left with out telling them they will tell the police and if I told them no way am going , so I told them am sleeping at my friend's house , Rosalie's , I took the bag and went to her house , I put a note I wrote on Rosalie's bad , the plane was late at night so we sneaked out after her parents were sleeping , Rosalie wasn't happy about the whole thing and she thought it was wrong but I didn't , I knew I was doing the right thing.

Mum , dad …

Please …and am begging you , don't look for me , I didn't run away from home like any teenager , am mature enough to not do that , I didn't , I am with an adult and I'll be fine , really , don't panic and don't look after me , I will be back soon , just not now , I don't want you to be worried at all , and don't blame Rosalie , she had nothing to do with it , please don't do ANYTHING , cause I will be back its not like I ran away , I just need something , and as soon as I get it I will be back I promise , don't worry , ill be back .

Bella

The plane took off , with everything I had in my country I was now going to my real country I guess, Boston , where all the answers I need …I guess.

In my note I made sure not to mention anything , not why I was gone , or that I knew anything , or where I was or when I went , I just told them am fine and that I will come back , what else could I have told them ?

The necklace I was now holding in my hand, was a key, maybe some one would recognize it and know who I am.

I closed my eyes.

But I opened them back again when I realized, we don't know where to go or what to look for!

"Come down Bella, you have your necklace and the photo, you took it didn't you?"

"I did" of course I did, that picture was a key too; I mean I needed to take it with me.

"Rosalie, do you think that …"

"That what?"

"That I will find my real parents? I don't even know where to start!"

"Bella…can I see that picture?" I showed her the picture and she said we can start by asking the police maybe some on lost a girl when she was a young girl , but that was hard to do , considering that we didn't know if she was lost or not.

"I don't know what to do Rose"

A lady, almost in her 40s heard our conversation; she said "excuse me, girls why are you going to Boston? I can help you if you want"

I told her that I don't know where are my parents and the only thing that can lead me to them was my necklace and she was smiling and said " am REALLY glad I can help you cause I can daughter , you see…that necklace your wearing isn't usual I mean , not all shops sell it , only one can , I can show where it is , I went there once to buy a necklace like this one , just a bit different , I couldn't find the same any where !"

"But is it possible that only one shop sells this necklace"

"Yes darling am pretty sure,, cause the shop has only one branch , only in Boston , it isn't famous but I remember seeing this necklace there "

"so can you help us ? I would be thankful all my life!"

" of course darling cause I am going that way too" I cant believe it , god is helping me , I can go to the shop and ask , maybe just maybe they know who bought it from them , it could be a head start.

Only I didn't know…things weren't going to go as planned.

I was excited , happy , and sad all at the same time , I mean come on , I just found out a big secret that can change my life it wasn't a good thing , but I was happy that I can finally know the truth .

This is my necklace:

It might not be that pretty but I loved it , at least it was all I had left from my real mum.

The plain landed , I told the lady she can just tell me where was the store and we can take a taxi but she refused , she said she wanted to come , she said she would love to visit that jewelry store so I didn't want to argue since I didn't know any where in that city.

We took a taxi, it wasn't so far from the air port, it was a nice little shop, I could see it from across the street.

While I was walking, not paying attention to where I was walking, looking at the buildings and the stores, something happened, some thing I was too blind to notice.

All I saw was a white light and a horn; there was a car in front of me , but I couldn't react , it was speeding and all I could do was cover my eyes , too scared to even move…

Rosalie's point of view

I was scared , Bella is my sister in every way possible , I couldn't help but cry , my salty tears went down like a river , there was nothing I could do , standing in the cold white hospital , million miles away from our families , with only this stranger at my side , rubbing my shoulder and comforting me.

my head started spinning and I couldn't see clearly.

A doctor came out , I ran to her , I asked and her answer got me right to the ground , " am sorry " was all she said and I knew what she meant.

" she died ?"

" am sorry "

" but…how ? how can …no doctor it cant be .."

" we tried , am so sorry , I tried everything I could , pray for her sweetie" she patted my shoulder and walked away.

She is gone , my best friend , my sister is gone , she died , she came her to find her parents , and all she found was death , quick and easy, we still didn't even spend few hours in this city ! I cant believe I will be going back to her parents telling them I lost her , I was supposed to protect her , I was the person she trusted ,I could have done something !

Actually I wouldn't…if this is what god wants then we cant do a thing a bout it, she was meant to live her life in a family that wasn't her's and when the day arrived that she knew that they weren't her real parents and wanted to meant her real parents, she died trying, god wanted her to live this way, and die trying to know the truth.

I can't take her body with me, ill keep her here, they can do what ever they want with it, I have to run away, I have to.

"Thank you nice lady for all you have done for us, I have to go now..."

"but your friend … " I cut her off " I cant …I will leave, am sorry, I know its wrong but I am leaving" I walked with my puffy eyes, I was running while my feet didn't want to, I didn't want to believe my sister is gone, I loved her more then my own sister, she was my best friend and more, I cant imagine my life with out her!

And my parents, and her parents, how will I face them? How will I tell them I lost her? She died and the man in the car (he was drunk) actually ran away?

She was young, people loved her, I loved her, she was gone , nothing could bring her back.

Ill go home , I didn't even spend a day here , but no reason for me to stay , I was here with Bella , and if she is gone then I shouldn't stay here.

I will go back, but …how will I deal with everything? How can I leave her body here? It doesn't belong here! Her mum, her dad they will kill me, how can I leave their daughter here? But how can I take her I don't know how they do these things! I couldn't think, I was too upset, I was hurt way too deep, and nothing could fix that now
