Chapter 16

Emily's p.o.v

We had already made our orders and were eating now. I looked at them now speaking . " What did you guys weant to speak to me about?", i asked. They both looked at me. I saw when mom held dad' s hand squeezing it. Ok. " Emily?", mom asked looking at me. I looked at her. " How should i tell you this?", she asked.i sat back waiting on her. " When you were born, your father and i were the happiest persons in the world.", she said. I looked at dad. I just hate him for being my step dad. Always trying to take his place. He looked away from me . I looked back at mom whose face was covered in tears. Ok. " What' s going on?", i asked sitting up and looking at mom. She wiped her tears gathering herself back together and drinking some water. I raised my eyebrows at her. She looked at me. " This is the hardest thing I' ve done in my life", she said looking at Conroy.  She looked at me with a serious face. " Emily?", i' m not your......", she said covering her mouth and crying again. " You' re not my what?", i asked. Seriously." She' s not your real mother", Conroy said confidently. I swallowed hard looking at both of them with the most serious face. " come again?", i said. They didn't answer. " Emily?, i' m so sorry", she said. I swear i almost had an asthma attack. " Emily?", she askee getting up and runninh over to me. I tried to carch my breath. She' s not your mother was the only words that i was thinking about. I thought of all the times i spent with her. I' m not your mother. They just kept popping up in my head. I looked at both of them getting up. I walked out of the restaurant silently with my face covered in tears . " Emily!!!!", i heard her shout. I began to cry harder. I can' t believe my entire life has been a complete lie. And what about Shelly?. Matthew and Kate?. Are they my siblings. Where was my real family?, where was my real mother?. Where was my real life. I' ve been living in fantasy?. I dropped down myself in a nearby bench beside an old folk. He looked at me. " I was there too, and look where it got me", he said . i looked at him frightened. I got up walking away. " see you in your next life!", he shouted. I wiped away my tears. I stopped a taxi going in it.

I came out of the taxi 1 hour later paying the taxi driver. The guard allowed me to pass. I was at Amy' s house. I knocked on the door trying to gather myself together, but i couldn't. The door flew open. The maid allowed me in. I was greeted by Amy who ran to hug me.
