Before I Met You

I want to tell him...
But i don't know what he would think.
I open my mouth to reply.
"Well... i just found out that... well... hold on i'm sorry." i say a tear running down my face.
He whips it away with his thumb.
"It's ok babe... just tell me... i won't judge." he smiles.
"Ok here we go... i just found out that... I was ... adopted." i choke on the words.
"What?" he asks.
I nod.
"How did you find out?"
"I was searching for a dress in my moms closet and it fell out of an old photo album. Apparently, Toby knew too, but he was told not to tell me." i say tears still running down my face.
"Would it help if i stayed the night tonight?" he asks.
I nod and smile.

~~~~~~~~~~

Finding out you are adopted is hard.
I always knew i didn't fit in with the family.
I didn't look anything like my parents.
But Toby and Heather did.
I just don't know why they wouldn't tell me.

I shake the thought from my head and change.
"Woo!" I hear zayn say.
He whistles too.
I smile and shake my head.
"You have seen me naked... this is now a step up." i say.
He laughs.

We lie in bed together.
He pulls me close to him and i lay my head on his bare chest.
i loved his sent.
Minty.
He smelled good.
"Warm?" he asks.
"MMhmm." i say.
He chuckles.
We fall into a deep sleep.
