I recived a call from Brian,saying he needed to meet me. He said that it was really important. We were going to meet up at the ice cream parlor near the park. Cole was coming with me but he was staying at the park. He said he wanted to have some bonding time with Cola.

I opened the door to the parlor and immediately spotted Brian. He was sat at a booth with three other people. I walked over to them.

"Hey Bri!!" I smile at him

"Hey sis" he smiles back. I frowned at it though. His smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

"So, uhm, what's up?" I asked

"Oh my god..." the woman who was sat opposite to Cole gasped. She was looking at me with tears in her eyes. She turned to the husband and started crying on his chest . The man looked at me with teary eyes too.

I nearly gasped when I saw the man. He...looks likes me. He had blue-grey eyes and chocolate brown hair. He was really white too, but he made it look good. His lips were plump and pink,just like mine.

Our noses were different though. My nose was similar to that of the woman.

Seated next to the mother was a girl who looked my age. The girl was gorgeous and lookd exactly like the mother. She had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was tan. She had pretty lips that weren't too plump nor too thin. She looked like a model.

"Uhm...Brian? Who are these people?" I asked

"Al...this...this is your real family" He breathes out.

My face goes blank. I know I should be feeling something. Happy or sad or mad. I should feel something, but I didn't. I felt numb. I didn't know what to say,feel or think. These were the people who abandoned me. This couple left me with another couple who abused me my whole life.

"Oh." Was all I could say

"So...these are the people who gave me up." I state

"I'd say nice to meet you but that would be a lie. I was completely fine without you in my life. I gave up on hoping that you would come for me. I gave up a long time ago." I say

"Alexandria...please let us explain" the man pleads

"Brian..." I start. He looks at me.

"Yeah?"

I look at him dead in the eyes. I was starting to feel something. I bring my hand up and slap him as hard as I can. I felt an immense amount of anger.

"I TOLD YOU I NEVER WANTED TO SEE THEM. I NEVER WANT TO MEET THEM. THEY ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF MY HORRIBLE LIFE. MY HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD. THEY ARE TO BE BLAMED FOR ALL MY STRUGGLES. IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT. I TOLD YOU THAT I DON'T EVER WANNA MEET THEM AND THAT I DONT NEED THEM. BUT WHAT DO YOU DO?! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU? CALL ME AND FUCKING INTRODUCE ME TO THEM. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME BRIAN?!" I yell at him

"AND YOU!!!" I point at them

"YOU ARE THE WORST. YOU LEFT ME WITH TWO ABUSIVE PARENTS. YOU LEFT ME TO DEAL WITH LIFE TERRIBLY. YOU NEVER EVER BOTHERED TO COME BACK FOR ME. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. ALL THE ABUSE. FOR YEARS AND YEARS I WOULD BE ABUSED ME TWO SICKO'S. NOW THAT I'M FINALLY HAPPY, YOU DECIDE TO COME INTO MY LIFE AND RUIN MY HAPPINESS AGAIN. FUCK YOU. FUCK. YOU." I yell at them. The woman starts sobbing and the man tries to comfort her, but he was crying himself. The girl had tears streaming down her face. I laugh a humorless laugh at the sight in front of me.

"You're crying?! What do you think I feel?!?! I just met the people who gave me up to the worst parents ever. I met the people who caused all my pain. Why the fuck would YOU be crying." I scowled at them

"Please...just...let us explain." My so called "father" sniffles. I glare at them and at Brian.

"None of you will ever talk to me again." I growl.

"Alex. Please. Just give them a chance to explain" Brian pleads

"If you're still mad, then we won't ever bother you again." He says

I took a deep breath. I went up to the cashier and mumbled my order.

"2 scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream in a bowl..."

I look up and hand the chasier the money. The cashier was a guy who looked probably a year younger. He smiled lightly at me. He took the money and told me that it will be with me shortly. I saw sympathy in his eyes. I'm pretty sure he heard...Well I mean I was shouting and we're the only people in this shop.

I grabbed a chair and sat at the edge of the table. I refused to take a seat next to any of them. I leaned againsy my chair andd folded my arms. They took this as their sign to start talking.

"Alexandria...I'm James. You're biological father." He said with tears in his eyes.

"And I'm Katie...your mother." She hiccups. James hands her some water, which she gladly drinks.

"Oh my god...I can't believe this is happening right now...I'm Alyssandra. You're twin sister." The girl says with a smile on her tear stained face.

"I'm here to learn why the hell you abandoned me, not what your name's are." I scowl. Their faces drop and turn sad again. They all nod and look at one another.

"When you were a baby, you didn't come out crying and screaming. You were silent. The doctors thought you died. But then apparently the nurse who took you away, heard you cry. She immediately rushed to help you. That nurse then adopted you as her own, because you reminded her of her daughter. The nurse had a miscarriage and she took you in as if you were her daughter." Katie said

"You mean..."

"Yeah. Mom was a nurse." Brian finished my sentence

"She and Dad started hating you when after only a week of having you with us, Dad lost his job. Soon, a lot of misfortunate things happened to us. Mom and Dad were convinced that it was a sign that you were bad luck. They felt as if by taking you in, they became cursed for betraying their dead child....why did they think these stupid things? Cause Dad's friend introduced them to drugs." Brian explained

I felt numb all over again. I didn't know what to think or say.

The cashier from earlier, placed my ice cream on the table. Except instead of two scoops, he gave me a lot more. I looked at him in confusion, but all he did was shrug and mouth 'you look like you need it'. I smiled thankfully. He returned the smile and went back to work.

"We didn't think you were alive until one day we received a call from the hospital. It took them 17 years to find out, but they saw what your "mother" did. They saw her sneaking you out. The teen child of one of the security guards was messing around with the security footages from the past and saw her do that. He reported it to his father, who then reported it to the doctors." James continued

"The doctors contacted mom and she admitted the truth." Brian finished the story

By this time, I finished all of the ice cream.

"It wasn't their fault Al...It was mom's." Brian said

I knew I couldn't be mad at them. Brian was right. They didn't do anything. It was all my adoptive mother's fault. I placed my bowl down and looked at them.

"Sorry I didn't listen to you earlier..." I apologized

"No no no. You don't have to be sorry. You have every right to be mad." Katie said

"I think it's the rational thing to do when you meet your biological parents." Alyssandra speaks up for the first time.

"I'm not sorry for slapping you." I glare at Brian. He sighed and nods his head.

"I guess I'm not mad anymore...just...sad and confused? I don't reallly know." I shrug

"Sweetie...if you could please give us a chance. Give us a chance to be a family. We'll make up for the time that you've been separated from us." Jame says

I stare blankly at them. I mean...I've always wanted a complete family...After a couple minutes of silence, I decided to speak.

"I need to think about it." I say

They nod rapidly. Tears begin to form in their eyes and they all smile at me. Alyssandra has the biggest smile.

"I have my twin back" she cries. I bite my lip to keep my own tears from falling. My emotions were all over the place, but I couldn't show them that i was crying.

"I can recall all the days when I just feel so incomplete. I felt like a part of me was missing. Now...oh my god now I have my twin back. My other half." She starts to cry. I couldn't help myself. I just felt the strong urge to comfort her. I slowly inched towards her and held her hand. She looks up at me in shock. Katie and James stand up so Alyssandra can pass. She pulls me to stand up and hugs me tightly. She was a bit taller than me because she was wearing heels. She starts sobbing and crying loudly as she hugs me. Soon, the two of us were enveloped in a group hug. James and Katie were hugging us. We were all in one big group hug. Once we pulled away, we all wiped our tears and fixed ourselves. Well, they wiped their tears since I still refused to cry.

"We're officially moving back here, so ,if you want, you can stay with us at our new home." James offers

"I uhm...I'm not yet sure..." I say

"It's okay honey. It'll take time for you to be close with us. We understand." Katie says. I nod and thank them for understanding.

My phone vibrates in my pocket. I open it to see that Cole texted me.

Heyy where are you? Cola and I miss youuu

I chuckle and text him that I'll meet them at the car. I look up and smile lightly at them.

"I have to go" I say

They all nod sadly. Each of them give me a hug before saying their goodbyes. Alyssandra and I exchange numbers. I give Brian a big bear hug and kiss on the cheek where I slapped him. Soon, I left the parlor and headed to the car. Cole and Cola were already there waiting for me. Cole smiled widely and hugged me tight.

"I missed you." He says as he kissed my cheek

"I wasn't gone for so long" I chuckled. My mood immediately brightened by just being in Cole's arms.

"No, but you were gone. That made me miss you" he pouts. I smile and kiss him.

"I have a lot to tell you." I say once we pull away

"Bed and cuddles, here we come!!" He says
