“What was her name? Did you two have similar names?”.

“My name was Natalie at that time but I had it changed when I got adopted. I didn’t want to be reminded of the fact my Dad left me”. She revealed.

“Your name is actually Natalie?”.

She nodded. “Yep and my sister name was Natalya”.

She had a twin sister named Natalya? Why does that name feel kinda familiar to me?

“Sorry about losing your sister and all that, it must have been pretty hærd”. I said to her softly.

She smiled a little. “Thanks, Tasha”.

“But do you at all regret being adopted?”. I ask him.

“Well truth be told, if I ever see that man who calls himself my Father, i’m gonna kill him”. She said sternly.

I chuckled a little. “Easy there, you don’t wanna become a murderer this early”.

“Yeah but its the truth. Why would a father ever leave his children?”.

I shrugged. “You are asking the wrong person”.

“Your Dad left you too?”. She asked me.

I nodded sadly. “Same sad story here”.

“Well at least I have parents now”. Harley’s eyes lightened up. “Parents who love me and care for me like their own child”.

“How did you meet Javan and Isla? At an adoption centre or an orphanage?”.

She shook her head. “Nope, It was at the expensive store my Dad left me at”.

“You met them there?”. I asked surprised.

“I met Javan Worth, he’s the owner of the store I was left in. He saw me alone waiting for my Daddy that never came so he took me in”. She smiled. “I was his own child and was adopted legally which made me happy”.

“Wow, you must have been being adopted by pretty great parents”. I said wistfully.

Unlike me, I was adopted in a family whose step brother takes advantage of.

“I stayed with him till I was ten years and that was when he met Isla Carter. They got married and had Astrid, my little sister, so now I’m like part of the wealthiest families in France”.

“France?”.

She nodded. “Thats where Reece is from, his Dad and Isla are siblings originated from France”.

“Oh so thats why your Dad Javan keeps on speaking French to Reece, do you also know French?”.

“Well Partly”. She nudged me. “Now tell me about your adopted past”.

“I-I don’t think I’m ready for this”. I tell her.

“Is is still that about that Alan stuff?”.

I nod slowly. “Yeah maybe when I’m ready”.

“Were they the only family that adopted you?”.

“Nope”. I shook my head negatively. “I was adopted into like four families before the Williams took me in”.

“I really feel for you, Tasha. I really do”. She told me lowly.

I gave her a little smile before turning back to the open books on my desk, i didn’t even concentrate this time.

I was thinking about my Daddy, how will a father dump his child at an orphanage. I was lonely there, i had no friends.

If I ever see him, i’m gonna put a bullet in his head. There is no justifiable reason to deceive and leave your child, just thinking about this makes me hate him more.

I wish I never see you, Dad. You caused all this pain I’m feeling right now, everything is your fault and only yours. Wherever you are right now, i hope you feel guilty for leaving me that way.

The bell rang signaling end of school and I stood up along with Harley. I packed my books putting it in my bag before zipping it up.

Harley tapped me. “Lets go?”.

I nodded in response and slanged my bag over one arm going with her out of the class.

“What was Bella so happy about?”. Harley asked as we stepped out in the school hallway.

“I scored her a date with Jeremy”.

She paused. “Jeremy? How did you do that?”.

“Well … “. I trailed off.

“Come on, Tasha. Tell me”.

“Jeremy kinda confessed his feelings to me”.

She gasped. “What the f×¢k!!”.

“With a k×ss”. I added.

“So what happened next? Did you shun him or … “.

“I just told him the truth, i don’t like him. I’m in love with someone else”.

“Is it Reece?”.

“Harley”. I warned.

“OMG”. She squealed excitedly. “You are in love with my cousin, thats totes adorable”.

“I didn’t say that, don’t put words in my mouth”.

“Come on, Tasha. Just admit it already”.

“I like Reece”. I blurted out.

“Just like?”.

I gr0×ned. “You are just like him”.

“Wait a minute, you told Reece you liked him?!!”.

“I had to after he saw Jeremy k×ssing me”.

“So all this happened and you didn’t even bother to tell me?”.

“I just assumed you knew”.

“Did Reece also confess his feelings to you?”. She probed me.

“Yeah he did”. I blushed remembering it.

“Awww”. She cooed. “Tell me how it was”.

“It was like we were in some kind of r-mantic movie and then we k×ssed under the rain, so charming”.

She giggled. “Natasha finally got her prince charming, how sweet”.

“Maybe”.

“So how did Jeremy take it when you told him?”.

“He didn’t have a choice but I guess he handled it perfectly but I’m not sure he’s gonna love again”.

“Who knows? Bella might even change his perspective”.

“I just hope she does because if not then the date is gonna be a bummer”.

She held up her fingers. “My fingers are crossed up for them”.

We walked out of the school buildings going to the parking lot.

“Umm, Tasha. Why don’t you ride with Reece home?”.

I turn to her. “Is something wrong?”.

“Lionel”. She pointed at where he was getting on his motorbike.

“Harley, Please don’t tell me you are going to follow him”.

“Thats what I’m planning on doing right now”. She ran towards her car.

I sighed as she got in and drove off after Lionel. She must really love him.

“Good luck”. I shouted though she was out of sight.

I stopped wondering if I should go towards Reece, he was talking with Jeremy by their cars as usual.

It will be so awkward for me to go there, I mean Jeremy likes me and Reece also likes me. I should probably wait till they finish or maybe I should go.

I took a deep breath breathing out before I went towards them.

“Hey guys”.

Jeremy glanced at me. “Hi Tasha”.

Well Jeremy is no longer calling me pet or cute names anymore. I wonder if Reece has a hand in this.

Though I like the fact that he’s trying to let go of the truth about me loving Reece not him. I just wish him the best in his love life.

They shook hands and did their guy bro hug thing, whatever they call it.

“Don’t forget about the date”. I warned him.

Jeremy waved at me. “I can’t seem to hear what you are saying”.

“Jeremy!!”. I glared at him. “You better be there”.

“Relax, Tasha. I’ll come but only if you will”.

“Fine be there early”.

“Sure”. He replied going into his car.

“A date?”.

I turn to Reece. “Huh?”.

“Who you setting up a date for?”. He asked looking at me.

“For Jeremy”.

“A date for Jeremy?”.

I nodded. “Yeah Bella and Jeremy”.

“And you think its gonna work?”.

I crossed my arms. “You don’t think the date will turn out well?”.

“I’m just saying, they are two different people so I’m not sure they are compatible for each other”. He suggested.

“What are you trying to say?”.

“This whole date thing is gonna be a flop”.

“Just get into the car and drive me home”. I told him.

He chuckled lightly. “Okay miss”.

He unlocked the car doors and I got in with him entering into the driver’s seat. He locked the car doors shut and put the key in the ignition as he started the engine.

“Where’s Harley?”. He asked as he drove out of the parking lot.

“She went off after Lionel”.

“So you couldn’t talk her out of it?”.

I shrugged. “She’s made up her mind, either you help her talk to him or stay out of it”.

“Did I do something wrong? Because literally everything I say, you don’t always support me anymore”.

“Well thats was when I found out you are keeping secrets from me”.

“What are the secrets you talking about?”.

I turn to the window. “Just forget about it”.

“We need to talk about it as I can see thats why you rarely talk to me this past days”.

“Its nothing”. I said lowly.

“Nat, if there’s anything you want to talk about, just say it”.

“Are you going to tell me the truth?”. I ask him hopefully.

“Nat, i’ll always tell you the truth”.

“You promise?”.

He glanced at me. “Is it that serious?”.

“Just promise you won’t get angry with me when I ask”.

“Nat, i can’t stay angry at you. You know that”.

I took a deep breath. “What was your uncle Javan talking about?”.

“What are you talking about?”.

“Something about surgery?”.

I noticed his grip on the steering wheels tightened as his face turned into a frown.

“Its a personal issue”. He replied coldly.

“What is it?”.

He sighed. “Nat, you don’t need to know”.

“When do you plan on telling me? Maybe after you leave?”. I probed him.

“I’m not going anywhere, Nat. What the hell prompted you to ask that question?”.

“I don’t know”. I shrugged. “Maybe seeing your bucket list gave me that idea”.

He didn’t say anything, rather he just drove not bothering to reply me.

I turn to stare at the windows noticing we had entered the pathway that leads to his mansion.

After a while, he got there and drove in. We got out of the car and he threw the car keys at one of the drivers.

We entered the main mansion and met Isla playing laser tag with Astrid. She really is too playful.

Astrid saw us and stopped rushing to hug Reece while Isla waved at me. I smiled at her and walked up the gigantic marble tiled stairs.

I finally got to my own room and opened the door. I stepped in and threw my bag on the bed taking my shoes off remaining my socks.

I really need to go talk to Reece, i went out of my room again and this time, walked to Reece’s room.

I pushed open the door and went in, he was just taking his shoes off.

“Reece, we need to talk”.

“Nat”.

“What the hell is that bucket list all about? Tell me”.

“I don’t have much time”. He says quietly.

I paused. “What?”.

“You said you wanted to know, i’m telling you now”.

He laid on his bed staring at his ceiling wallpaper of a shooting star. I went towards him and laid on the bed also side to side with him.

“So what do you want to know?”. He began. “Everything about me or the full story”.

“Why don’t you want to take the surgery?”.

“You don’t even know what I’m diagnosed with, don’t you?”.

“I don’t care as the surgery is the only option you have so why don’t you want to take it?”.

He sighed. “You know, Nat. When you just want something badly, you take irrational decisions”.

“What are you saying?”.

“All my life, i have never received parental love and attention not even once”. He says softly. “I always wanted them to see me as their child, someone they could love but to them, i’m only a mistake that should have never been born”.

“Reece, don’t say that”.

“Its the truth”. He continued. “They didn’t plan to have me at all, thats why they both didn’t want custody of me”.

“But how does that relate to the surgery?”.

“When I heard I was sick, i had initially thought they would coms running back to me but that didn’t happen at all”.

I turned and stared at him not saying a word.

“I thought upon hearing that I just have few months to live, they will come back and try to rebuild their family but they didn’t”. He sniffed.

Gosh!! I’ve never seen Reece look so hurt like this before.

“I only want their attention”.

“Reece”. I touched him.

“If they were the ones who had begged me to do the surgery then I would have happily consented to it but they couldn’t even do that”. He was getting angry. “Instead they sent my uncle and aunt to convince me but I’m not gonna give them what they want”.

“So you are ready to leave me?”. I asked him.

“I’m sorry”.

I sat up. “You are going to lose the people you love, Reece. What the f×¢k are you gaining from all these?”.

“I’m not taking that f×¢king surgery, i want them to feel the pain of losing me. I want guilt to eat them up from the in,side knowing that they let their only child die because of their negligence”.
