108-A Garner

Ashley Walters pov "One more thing, Sarah." I asked her once we were over our giggling session, "I want an honest answer for this one."

She nodded sincerely, "Yes, Ashley. What is it?” "I think you have something that belongs to me." This brought confusion to her eyes. She kept looking at me until understanding dawned on her face.

I nodded at her and folded my arms on my chest, "My suitcase." "It’s still in the attic." She said, "I took out the papers and handed them over to someone." "Handed over?" I cocked a brow at her, "Means you don't have it anymore?" "No," she bobbed her head, "I gave it to someone to ... to check the authenticity." "What?" before I could say anything further, she explained quickly.

"I wanted to find your parents, Ashley." "And why would you do that?" I frowned at her, "I thought you hated me." "Exactly," she smiled, "I hated you. That’s why I was looking for your parents. My understanding was that once I would locate them, it would be easier to send you away. You know. To get you off my back." "Who has got those papers?" she stayed quiet and hesitated for a moment, "Please, Sarah. I need to know the truth. I need to start searching for my parents." "Marwick!" "What? Marwick?" 'Yeah. My brother didn't have time for this. But I asked for his help because I could not trust anyone else. My brother likes to be fair with everyone. If he would say no that means a no. But if he would agree to help you that means he has got your back."

I thought for a moment.

"So, did he tell you something?" I tried to fight this sudden need to gag, then and there. I realized that I was scared. Scared of the reality.

Scared of what was about to come. About my fate.

"Unfortunately, no." she moved forward and held my hand, "He could not find any leads. Whenever I asked him, he said, he is still looking for clues."

My heartbeat seemed to come down to a normal pace when I heard her.

"Ashley!" "Hmm." "I am sure we will find your parents."

I sighed and forced a smile to my lips, "I hope so too, Sarah."

"What is she saying? What happened? Is she still in pain?” Keith asked me the moment I left Sarah's room.

Poor boy! I didn't think he was so cruel that he would get mad at his pregnant partner after knowing the truth. Sarah must stay honest to him.

"Don't worry. She is doing good. The drama created by her parents pushed her under stress." After hearing about her parents, I felt him clenching his jaw along with his fists.

"Sometimes, parents can be a pain in the ass." He muttered under his breath.

The last time, when I met her parents, I realized that I was lucky to NOT have parents in my life at all. Aren’t parents supposed to be one's strength? Someone who will stand by you when you are in danger. Someone who wants to celebrate your success with you. But I guess such parents existed only in movies.

"I don't know, Keith." I leaned back to the wall tiredly, "I never had parents so it's just..." I shrugged giving him an awkward smile, "For me, parents should be supportive just like they show in movies. I can’t comment on something, I don’t have."

I saw a flicker of sympathy in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He was aware that I would never like that. When Keith went inside, to meet Sarah, I started thinking about Marwick.

Sarah told me that she forwarded those papers to him. I liked the man but why he never mentioned to me that he had got my orphanage papers?

"Love!” my heart skipped a beat when I heard the familiar voice.

"Justin!" Not giving a damn that I was in the corridor of a hospital, I raced to him. He immediately spread his arms in order to catch me. Holding me by the waist he hugged me tightly to him.

"Seems like someone was missing me." I heard his mischievous voice and could not hold back the grin.

'Yes," I looked into his eyes, "I was missing you like hell." He seemed to be taken aback by the revelation. I never admitted since he came back into my life how I really felt about him.

"Ashley," I heard his deep breath and closed my eyes against his chest.

I wanted to tell him that I loved him. He was the only man in my life, and I could not even think to imagine my life without him.

Just then Keith decided to come out of Sarah’s room. His face had some odd expressions.
