Chapter 4
The tears kept flowing and flowing, there's no way this could be true. Adopted there's no way this can be true. I didn't know what to think it was all too much to take in. So that means my parents aren't actually my parents, just my adoptive parents. I dropped the piece of paper and completely broke down into tears. This can't be real, oh my god, don't let it be real, just be a nightmare where I can wake up. "FUCK" I yelled cryingly as I realized that my whole life has been a lie. I lifted the trunk and flew it towards the wall, which caused the trunk to break into pieces and all the pictures and folders to fly out. I heard the door opening and closed downstairs. I decided to confront them about it.
"Eve what are you still doing up" Cynthia asked me as I came downstairs. "What's wrong Sweetie" George asked me noticing my red eyes. "This" I said angrily showing them the adoption certificate. They looked pretty shocked at seeing that I found the paper. "Where did you find this at" Cynthia asked shocked. "It doesn't matter now does it" I said angrily. "Eve lets sit down and talk about this" George said trying to calm down. "Talk about what, that my life is a lie" I said cryingly "Your life is not a lie, your still Eve Martin our daughter" Cynthia said desperatley. I continued to cry and said "No i'm not i'm some other people's daughter and i'm not sure if I was born an Eve or not." George took my shoulders and looked me in the eye and said "Let us explain Eve please." I nodded as I cried deciding to hear what they have to say. They led me to the chair while they sat on the couch. It was Cynthia who started to explain "You know with our jobs we were always busy, we never thought about having a family until 17 years ago and we tried to conceive, but by that time I had already hit menopause and couldn't conceive naturally." George than spoke. "So after about a year of waiting we adopted you in October of 2006, when you were a month old, but we loved you from the very start." I couldn't say anything because the tears kept flowing from my eyes. "Eve we love you, you are our daughter even if we're not biologically related" Cynthia said taking my hand trying to comfort me. I quickly pulled my hand away and walked towards the door. "Eve where are you going" Cynthia asked worried. "Lucy's, I just can't be here right now" I said through my tears. I walked out the door and shut it behind me. I could hear Cynthia wanting to go after me, but George told her to give me my space.
I walked for about 10 minutes trying to stop crying before I went to Lucy's, I know she won't appreciate me coming in the middle of the night, but I have nowhere else to turn to and her parents are always out at the bar so they shouldn't be home. I finally reached Lucy's small house and knocked on her door. I could hear her getting up and complaining about being woken up. When she opened the door she was wearing a t-shirt and some shorts looking very tired. "Eve" she asked very confused about what I was doing here. "What's wrong" she asked noticing me crying. "I-I have no where else to go" I said sobbing. Lucy grabbed my arm and led me inside her home and sitting me on the couch. She hugged me while I continued to sob and sob.
"Eve come on tell me what's wrong" Lucy asked trying to comfort. I managed to stop crying, but I didn't know how to tell her. "My life has been a lie" I said managing to choke the words. She looked at me confused and asked "What do you mean." I took a deep breathe and said "I'm adopted, I saw the certificate of adoption in the attic." Lucy looked at me like she couldn't believe it. "Oh Eve" was all she said and then pulled me into a hug comforting me. I couldn't help, but let a few tears escape. Lucy broke the hug and looked at me sadly and said "Come on you can stay here tonight and we'll talk more tomorrow because you look like you need some sleep." She helped me up and lead me into her room. As soon as I layed down I was quickly out of it and didn't hear Lucy getting into the bed next to me.
When I got up I looked around and didn't know where I was, until the events from yesterday came flashing back. "How you feeling" Lucy asked coming into the room. Now that she mentioned it I had a pretty bad headache. "Horrible" I said clutching my head. "Here" she said sitting on the bed by my side handing me some water and advil. "Thanks" I said after taking the pills. "You want to talk about it" she asked. I sighed and said "I just don't know anymore, I mean how could they lie to me for 17 years of my life." Lucy put her arms around me and said "I know it must be difficult to take in and you have every right to be angry at them, but at least try to see where they are coming from. I mean not being able to conceive naturally must have been very hard for them to go through." I sighed knowing Lucy was right I know I would be heartbroken if I couldn't conceive, but I was still angry at them. "Your right, but I can't help but be angry, just not at them, but my birth parents as well it makes me feel like I was unwanted." Lucy smiled a little and said "Well it's their loss anyways. Your incredible person Eve your kind, caring, and intelligant. I wish I was as smart as you, I mean you finished 10 of Shakespear's plays in 2 days, your memory is flawless." I couldn't help, but chuckle a little. "Do you mind if I stay here again tonight, I just can't go home right now" I asked. Lucy smiled and said "Of course your more than welcome to, my parents won't fucking notice they out cold In there room and probably end up back in the bar later." "Thanks" I said. "So how was the party with Kevin" Lucy asked exitedly. I didn't know what to tell her about what happened. "Did something happen" Lucy asked noticing the change in my expression. I shook my head and said "It's nothing, he just wasn't the person I thought he was." Lucy shook her head and said "I'm I going to have to kick his ass because I will if I have too." I shook my head and said "No, don't bother he's not even worth it, he's just an ass who uses people." Lucy groaned and said "Now I really want to kick his ass." I couldn't help but chuckle Lucy always knew how to make me feel better. "You know what will get your mind off things, partying" Lucy said. "Partying" I asked. Lucy nodded and said "Yea my cousin owns the club downtown and I can get us in for free." "It's a school night" I reminded her. Lucy rolled her eyes and said "I know that and I know how much you love school, so i'll have us back around eleven ok and it might do you some good to get your mind off things." I thought about it for a moment and decided that Lucy was right I do need to get my mind off the recent events that has happened to me and figured I deserve to have a little fun.
Author's Note
Well there's chapter 4 and I hoped everyone liked it. Next chapter will be a big change for Eve and how she will deal with it in upcoming chapters. This chapter I know I didn't mention the Cullens that's because I wanted this chapter to focus on Eve dealing with the realization that she's adopted and how strong her friendship with Lucy is. So please review and tell me what you thing. I'll have chapter 5 posted soon.
