I woke up, slowly, quietly and with the intentions to leave without anyone seeing or talking to me. I wanted to think today was like any other day, but with everyone else treating it like it was some big deal then it came a big deal to me. See today was my birthday, but I dont like my birthday, I really dont. Im turning 14 today and 7 years ago my mum and dad dumped me, they left me on the side of the road and I've never heard from them since. Every year for some reason I expect to get something from them or hear from them but I never did and with the new family i'm living with I dont even feel comfortable talking to them about it.
I went down to the garage to find my school shoes but I then realized my foster sister has obviously taken them to school, she had basketball at 6 so she had left early. I went down into the attic to see if they had any spare shoes, I went looking through some boxes then I found a small little brown chest with my last name engraved on the lid, I presumed it was mine so I opened it. The only things in it was letter's in brown envelope and black numbers on it, I then realized that all the numbers were labeled in order , So I started reading the first one with the letter 1 on it. I got to the 4th letter and realized that these were letter's for me from my parents. They were writing to me, apologizing and explaining why they did what they did.
My last thoughts were why did my foster parents keep these from me? I rang the number on the bottom of each letter and my Dad answered. I told him to meet me after school, with my mum and that my foster parents will have to be there. "Why are you only talking to us now?" "I guess everyone needs an explanation, and we will get it tonight"
