My Destiny is of a different time

Chapter Three

"Elizabeth you're adopted"  those three words stick in my head as I processed what my mom just said I was not their blood I had no traits of there's, they weren't always the best to me but I saw then as my parents I thought I was their daughter. My mind went into overdrive I  had to manage to say something because my 'parents ' looked at me worriedly for the first time in year's they looked concerned for me their faces examining my face to find out what I was thinking, feeling, I felt numb all of sudden not knowing what to say, do, think how are you supposed to react after that.

I finally spoke  feeling like my mind had settled on this fact, " Have you ever found out we put me on that road that night?" It pained me to ask because the thought of someone not even taking me to an orphanage, felt betrayed, I felt abandoned just thinking about that. " Unfortunately  no we couldn't find that out, we searched everywhere for your parents but it was as if they never excessed "

My world sunk at those words I felt like someone threw a knife at my heart, penetrating the skin a creating a wound. " Why did you adopt me if you so clearly have wanted nothing to do with me my whole life ?" My parents looked at each other looking into each other's eyes to try and think of a good answer ." We never wanted to have kids, yes, but when we meet you it was as if we couldn't give you up we were going to give you to an orphanage to find a suitable family but no orphanage at that time had the space to look after you so we agreed that we would watch over you till there was space but we eventually couldn't let you go, we became attached to you so we choose to adopt you in the plan to make you have a very comfortable life with everything we could think of we spoiled you from the very beginning and eventually, we just ended up only giving you things to make you happy and we see now after all these years we have neglected you, not giving you love, were sorry Elizabeth for not giving you love and our time." That answer stunned me, me, parents finally tell me they're sorry, something I have been waiting for, for so long and it's finally here and I don't know how to react my parents told me they love me. I know it's strange to get so excited to hear those words but to me, they are foreign unfamiliar to me, out of this world.

I started to cry I started to feel content with my life it's amazing how just that sentence made me feel whole, I just hugged them, my parents seemed shocked at first but hugged me back it was such an amazing feeling having them hold me close, I finally felt loved. Is this what it feels like to have love in your life because I feel on top of the world and I don't want to come back down to earth I want to forever fly high.

We finally pulled apart " Elizabeth we will be moving back home to be with you and catch up on the time we have missed and give you as much love as we can"  I started to cry again I finally didn't want to be alone I wouldn't be alone again my parents are finally home.

It's been a week since my parents have been home with me and they weren't lying when they said that they would give me there love they drop me off at school and pick me up after, we have dinner, breakfast, and lunch together now it feels nice to have company I was okay before with living alone but this feels so much better now.

I am still getting used to the idea that I am actually adopted, it hurts but I will get through it in time I haven't told my parents yet, I don't want to mess up the relationship I and my parents are building I can't make them push me away again I can't go back to that now, not now that I know what it feels like to have love. My friends are overjoyed for me, they feel so happy for me I am happy myself I am over the moon.

My final exam is next week then I graduate and then I am free of school for a while my parents said they are taking on holiday with them everywhere, Paris, England, Australia, and more places I am so excited I can't wait for it just me and my parents travelling the world till I have to come back to train harder for the Olympics, I want to win so badly not for me but my parents I want to make then proud more now then ever I know that's a lot of pressure on myself but I believe I can do it man I can do it I am just that good I will hold the world title that I swear I will be the best this world has ever seen.
