Chapter 10
~Hospital~
"What did you say" Jamie asked. Now everyone was looking at him like he was speaking a different language. Isabelle looked at Jamie confused. "What do you mean." Jamie stepped forward to her. He looked past Isabelle at the women in the room behind her. That women looked so fragile laying there fighting for her life. "I mean what do you mean your last names are Swarek?" Josh looked up at him "You know are last name was Swarek. Didn't you Uncle Jamie?" Jamie shook his head at Josh and Isabelle. "No I figured your last name was Hill too. He never said other wise to us." Jamie stepped away from them and looked into the room of Sarah. Sam looked on between the 3 people. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He shared his last name with them. The teenagers noticed that everyone was staring at them with disbelieve. "Why are you guys looking at us like that?" Josh asked while looking back at them. Isabelle just kept looking at Sarah through the door. No one said anything they didn't know what to say to the teenagers. Andy looked over at Sam she could tell that he was waging a battle in his mind. She looked around and noticed that no one knew how to start. "The reason that everyone is looking at you like that is because the women in that bed. That women that is fighting for her life last name is Swarek." Andy looked over at Sam before she continued. He looked over at her and nodded his head. "Also the guy next to me is a Swarek too." Isabelle finally looked away from the door and looked at same. She now could see the resemblance between the two. Isabelle made the connection from what the officer said to her. Everyone kept looking at each other waiting for someone to explain what was going on. "Ok one of you two needs to start talking." Sam stated while crossing his arms. Isabelle looked at him and then back to Josh. She had a feeling that their world was about to crash down around them. "We will but not here. We aren't going to talk here." Isabelle looked back in the room one more time before turning and walking away. Josh watched her go he looked one last time before following her down the hall.
~The car~
Isabelle looked out the window of the car. She couldn't believe the she was alive. She was kind of hoped it wasn't true. That women isn't the same women she was like a shell. She looked over at Josh who was looking at her. He smiled but it wasn't his normal smile he gave her to make you happy. He grabbed her hand and rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand. She squeezed his hand and layed her head on his shoulder. They would get through this together they always did. They had each others back when things got tough.
Sam looked in the review mirror at the teenagers. They looked like they were trying to support each other. He wanted to know why they had the last name Swarek. In the pit of his stomach he knew. His gut told him that he was their real Uncle. He wanted to know how the hell they ended up with the people that they now call family Anton and Jamie. He looked over at Jamie. He looked like he was battling his own battle in his head. He kept looking over at the teenagers. Sam let out a breath and looked forward. He felt Andy reach over and grab his hand. She gave his had and small squeeze. Sam looked over to her and gave her a small smile. He wished that he could kiss her hand but he couldn't do it. He pulled into the parking lot and pulled into a parking spot. They all got out of the cars and started to walk toward the building.
~The barn~
Everyone walked to the conference room walked in and sat down. "Do you guys need anything to drink?" Traci asked everyone. Everyone nodded their heads yes. Traci walked out of the room to grab water for everyone. She walked pass Frank she stopped. "Frank we might need you in the conference room." He looked confused at her "Umm why is that." Traci blew a breath out and looked back at the conference room. "Just help me with the waters. believe me you are going to want to be in there with us." Frank still looked at her still confused but nodded he's head. He followed her back to the room
Sam sat there looking at the teenagers. They were staring back at him with sadness in their eyes. Traci walked into the room and put the bottles of water on the table. Everyone grabbed a bottle and sat back in their chairs. Frank sat down and noticed the tensing in the room. He looked around and took in everyone wondering what is going on here. "So who is going to start." Sam asked the teenagers. Isabelle and Josh looked at each other. "What do you want to know?" Isabelle asked while looking at Sam. "Ok. Who is your parents?" Sam watched as Isabelle looked at him. He noticed that her eyes went from sad to angry. He didn't expect that reaction. "I think you know who are mother is. We don't know who are dad is." Isabelle's voice was cold when she spoke to him. Sam was a little taking back by this. "So Sarah Swarek is your mother? When is the last time you saw her?" Sam leaned forward on to the table to looking her straight in her eyes. She leaned forward and stared back at him. Josh looked over at her and noticed that she had turn cold. She gets liked this when she doesn't want to get hurt. "Yes Sarah is are mother. Well by birth yes but nothing else the word mother meant nothing to her. Also the last time we saw her was about 5 to 6 years ago." Sam was getting angry with her he took a big breath and asked another question. "Ok. What happen that you live with Anton now?" Josh was looking at Isabelle. He let her talk he couldn't talk now. Isabelle laughed a little and glared at Sam. "Well she is a crack whore." With that Sam slammed his fist on the table and stood up looking down at her. "SHE IS NOT A CRACK WHORE." Andy grabbed his arm. Everyone stared at Sam like he lost his mind. No one noticed that Isabelle stood up and was nose to nose with him. "You don't know her. You weren't there when we would watch her screw someone for money so she could get a fix. While you sat there hearing trying to stay warm because the heat was shut off. Why you wonder well it's because all her money went to her fix. You weren't there when Anton walked in because he found out that his guy was there selling her stuff. He paid to fix her. He paid the bills so we had something to eat, some heat, real hot water. He took her to rehab to get better while he looked after us. You weren't there when she fell of the wagon. Anton came one night and saw this. He put crack in front of her and told her if she wanted it that she would have to give us up. She chose the fucking crack over her own kids. So you don't get to stand there and yell at me and tell me that I don't get to call her that. No matter if you want to believe it or not. Your sister is a CRACK WHORE." Isabelle had tears running down her face Sam stared at her. He was letting what she said sink in. He stood up and backed up from the table. Isabelle sat down now she looked over a Josh. He had his head down and was looking his hands in his lap. She looked around at everyone they all had shocked looks on their faces.
Sam looked at Isabelle. She sat there wiping tears of her cheeks. He couldn't believe what she just said. These two have been through so much and it's because his sister wanted drugs more than to be a mom. He didn't know what to do now. He was at lost of words he looked over a Andy. She was staring at him trying to read him. "I am sorry. Your right I don't know my sister any more." Sam stated but never took his eyes off Andy. He looked back at the teenagers. They looked drained from everything that has gone on the last few days. He was getting angry with his sister now. He wanted to yell at her, He wanted to shake her. "Umm, I think we need to take a break. If we have any more questions we will call you." He looked at them one last time and walked out of the room. Andy looked at everyone ]and ran out after him. Everyone just looked at them as they stood up and walked out the room.
