In The Air, chapter 2
<p>It was now Thursday. The atmosphere was intense, so I decided t go for a walk to clear my head. It was rathe strange that my Mum and Dad hadn't rand since they were supposed to be coming to see me in a few weeks, as I had moved to Berkeley a few months earlier and they were in England. But I thought that they could be busy so I didn't worry too much. </p>
<p>Billie and Claire had hooked up and had gone out for a couple of hours so it was Tre, Mike and Me and Sarah, but she was still in bed. Sarah got up and we heard her cos she fell out of bed! It was rather funny and Tre laughed at her when she emerged. She told him to 'piss off.' </p>
<p>After a while...<br />
We were all seated around the kitchen table. Tre kept looking at me and smiing and I thought he was being weird. Then he said it.<br />
"Bekki." He said.<br /> " Yes?" I said. <br />" How would yuo feel if you were adopted?" I looked at him and looked opened mouthed. <br />" Wwwhhoaaa! Huh? Where did that come from? Um.. well I would be angry why?" I said.<br /> He was about to reply, when Mike said," Because you are. And there is something else. You're my Sister."<br /> My head began to spin.<br />
I stood up with my mouth open.. I think.<br />
I tried to move...<br />
But all I remember is my legs giving way..<br />
Then darkness.</p>
<p>I came round to see Tre and Mike and Sarah shouting me and trying to wake me. I looked but my vision was blurry. "Oh My God." That is all I thought. Tre spke first.<br /> "Thought we'd lost you there. "</p>
<p>I sat on the floor for a moment. Trying to regain full consiousness, trying to realise the words. You are adopted. How can a person understand? Why now? Why me? Why tell me? I started to shake. I got up. I started to scream. I started shaking so uncontrollably that I wet myself. I couldn't take it in. My head was going to explode. So.. I ran. I ran out of the front door, up the road, round the bend and kept running. Oh the misery. All these years thinking I was someone when I wasn't who I was told I was. The pain, my heart was pounding, beating with such force you could actually see it pump. my mind was filled with fear, rage and love. <br />
I eventually fell at the road side, by a halfway house. I cried and cried. It started to rain. I just couldn't . Couldn't accept the things I had been told. I was scared.</p>
