Soccorah got home and told her parents that she had to go over to her friend’s house but to her surprise the told her that they needed to talk to her and denied her permission to go. She sat down and asked what it was about and saw her coach seated in the dining room. “What is Coach doing here? Am I in some kind of trouble?” she joked.
“Luna there is something that we need to talk about. This discussion is long overdue but we just didn’t see the need to bring it up till he showed up again” her mother said. 17 years ago, I met your dad. He had no wife and was living here all alone with his baby daughter…. He was so lost and hurt that he could barely manage to take care of you himself. I started helping him with babysitting and one thing led to another we fell in love. “She explained. “What? Are you saying what I think You’re saying?” Luna shouted with tears in her eyes. “Please just let me finish.”
“Your father and I had our ups and downs but we just wanted to keep you safe. Before he died, he gave me instructions to keep you safe. He left a trust in your name and asked that we keep you safe and that is what we have been doing all your life. We tried to keep you safe but I have no idea from what?”
Luna bursting with anger and trying really hard not to lose it blurted out; “Are you trying to tell me that you are not my mother? Who is my mother then, where is she? What happened to her? Why did she leave my father and me? And why did you wait this long before telling me.” A thousand thoughts went through her head. Why didn’t her fake of a mother never tell her that she was adopted. Why did she wait until Coach had to force them to telling her the truth? What the hell was going on? She deserved answers and she had the right to getting them.
“I spent so many years wondering why I looked nothing like you. My dad was gone. It was your job to tell me the truth. What of my family. You knew about my medical condition; you knew that I needed answers; if you care about me, they way that a parent, should you should have told me the truth. You never loved me.” “What of this trust anyway. I barely have anything. You always dress up to the nines, I have had to settle for everything mediocre. How much is in this trust anyway. I’m 17-years-old. Don’t you think that I should have been privy to that information?” she shouted unable to keep her anger inside.”
“What; did he have to threaten you to tell me the truth? What role does he play in this anyway…..Tell damn it!” When Luna shouted the house shook. Lucian noticing what was happening came up to her and spoke calmly asking her to settle down. His voice managed to subdue her anger. “He is your uncle. Your father’s brother.” He was to be your guardian in the event of his death but I couldn’t let him find you because I had raised you. I couldn’t let him take you away so when he came for you, I told him that your father didn’t have a child and I hid you until I was sure that he believed me and left.” Her mother said.
