Chapter 29
"l told you that girl is a bitch but of course you with your kindhearted nature you just keep letting her walk all over your head and you keep sticking up for her while she keeps being a being rude to you ,I know girls like her , they are self entitled ,mean and selfish but you don't have to worry because if she even so much as touches a hair on your head then l'll show her hell.
She keeps strangling her hands together in anger and I can't help but laugh. l wish Aria was the one l was exchanged at birth with, she is kind hearted ,supportive and crazy and most of all she would never try to cut anyone down with her words. Ali on the other hand was just determined to insult me at every point.
"l just feel for her you know, her whole life has just been turned upside down and I know that feeling and if she would just let me then I'll show her that she's not alone because I've been through it and I've been there and I've come back stronger and better "I said smiling to myself because it is true, had it not been the whole Connor incident then I feel like I would've been in a much better space right now because I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that my parents are gone ,it's not easy but yes I am learning to live with this fact and the fact that I was exchanged birth came as a surprise a shock and an unpleasant surprise but now I'm starting to see that everything happens for a reason ,I may have lost my parents the ones that were raised me but I have now I have a chance to have a relationship with my biological ones.
"I hate to be the one to break it down to you but that girl wants nothing to do with you she just uses you when she needs something but when she's done with you then she's done " maybe Aria is right. Ali was good to me the first day but after she saw that Killian was interested in me she just turned into a whole new person and a day after the Connor thing it felt like was starting to connect but then she changed again. I can't keep up with her moods and it's exhausting.
Ali thinks that she's the one facing the sharp end of the stick but she doesn't know that l am in the same exact boat. It's been three days since the DNA test but l still haven't had the courage to ask Mrs Parker about my father. My life was getting roped into more and more secret.
"but what do I do I just can't leave her to deal with this situation in order for her to figure out who she is "after we found out the results, her parents thought that it would be better if she goes home with them for a few days but she didn't want to and when we got to our dorm she just closed the door of her room and locked it and she hasn't come out since. I talked to Mrs Parker on the phone yesterday and she said l had leave her alone so that she can process the changes herself.
"So what are you going to do about your new parents "Aria asked me and I just shrugged, "I just want to give it one day at a time l don't want to rush into things, the relationship between children and their parents isn't forced it's something that should come naturally and I'm starting to like Mrs Parker so I don't know maybe I may just get along with Mr Parker in the future as well but the person that I'm most excited to meet is my brother.
l haven't even asked Mrs Parker if she told him yet and what he thinks about this whole situation because I'm just afraid of how he'll react to , if he will accept me or reject me but I'm hoping and I'm praying that he does like me and we get along because I've always wanted a sibling and now I get to have one. And if Ali would just like me then I'd have two siblings and Ali I could be my soul twin or something like that" Aria and l both laughed at the last statement.
"She doesn't deserve you "aria said shaking her head. "What are you really going to do" she asked seriously but l just shook my head. l still can't grasp the fact that Mrs Parker cheated on Mr Parker and conceived me, a female copy of Mr Parker. Honestly l am not even sure l want this particular fact to be revealed, maybe things are fine just the way they are.
"What should l do" l asked her.
"Be honest Elli" she said. "these secrets have a way of coming out"
