“Yasmin where are you?” A women’s voice asks close to where I was sitting, but looking down at myself I wasn’t me, I was a little girl “I’m gonna find you, Yasmin,” the women’s voice says again is she talking to me?
A few seconds pass before the doors open to the cupboard I was in, a woman standing smiling.
“I found you” she laughs picking me up spinning me around giggling leaving my mouth “Daddy said he wants to see you before he leaves” she smiles walking me down a huge hall towards huge double doors, once they open I see two men talking at the end of the room, they looked very smartly dressed.
“Yasmin” one of the men say kneeling down as the woman places me on the floor so I could run over, once I reach his arms he picks me up holding me tightly “Daddy has to go away for a bit, but mummy’s gonna be here” the man smiles which then I realised, these people are my birth parents.
“We’re gonna have so much fun,” my birth mother says as my birth father wraps us both in a hug, the women taking me from him after.
“I’ll see you soon Yasmin, “the man says before he and the other man he was with walk out the two huge doors.
I wake up suddenly looking around the room, Ryan was still fast asleep next to me but as I sat up he started to stir.
“Savannah, what’s the time?” He asks looking over to the clock beside the bed, once he does he turns to look at me “it’s 5 in the morning” he says through sleepy eyes.
“Is it? Wow I woke up early, just go back to sleep” I say but he shakes his head sitting up slightly.
“No chance, until you tell me why you woke up at this time,” he says making me sigh, I know he’s not gonna back off until I do explain what happened.
“It’s the dream I had, my birth parents were in it,” I say looking over at him he just looked shocked “they reminded me so much of people I know, but I just can’t figure out who, my name wasn’t Savannah it was Yasmin,” I say sitting back in bed thinking, I don’t know what name I’d prefer to go by.
“My parents probably changed your name when they adopted you,” he says sitting up next to me both of us facing the wall ahead.
“I feel like I need to find them, like something is telling me to look for them, but I have no idea where to start” I sigh, looking up at the ceiling, my life has changed drastically these last few weeks.
“You’ll figure out soon, just get some more rest and we can start looking then” he smiles, I nod and lay down.
He slowly wraps his arm around me from behind, giving me time to pull away if I wanted to but I didn’t. I fall back to sleep in a few minutes, my birth parents going around my head.
I get up before Ryan and get ready for the day, the only thing on my mind was trying to work out who my parents were. After I’m ready I head downstairs to see Harry drinking coffee sitting at the kitchen table smiling as I walk in.
“This is great! I finally have an early bird in the house, I don’t have to drink my coffee alone and wait for everyone to drag themselves out of bed” he smiles, I just laugh and go to the fridge pulling orange juice out while he stays sitting smiling at me.
“Do you know if there are any places around here that could possibly look for documents of people?” I ask, but he just raises his eyebrow at me “I wanna see if I can find anything on my birth parents “I go on to explain, he nods looking like he was thinking for a second.
“I think there might be a place but it’s about half an hours drive away,” he says taking a sip of his coffee looking towards me.
“I need to go there,” I say taking a seat at the counter across from him taking a sip from my drink.
“I could take you if you wanted while the other two sleep,” he says I just look at him sending him a weird expression.
“Now?” I ask he just stands downing the rest of his coffee, while grabbing his car keys.
“Why not? By the time we get back they might have gotten out of bed” he says walking out the kitchen and towards the front door, I gulp my orange juice down running after him.
“Shouldn’t we leave a note?” I ask but he was already in the car before I had time to slip my coat on.
“We’ll be back before they even realise we left” he laughs turning the car on, I smile putting my seat belt as we pull out the driveway.
It takes us around 40 minutes for us to arrive, at what looked like the outside of a library.
“Are you sure this is the place?” I ask, Harry just nods getting out the car, I had to follow as he walks into the building.
The inside looked exactly like a library, I look towards Harry sending him a really confused look, he walks us towards a desk in the middle where a woman was standing.
“I’m here to see Reece,” he says, the women nods smiling before opening the door that was behind the desk.
Harry looks over at me smiling walking into the door but I stay behind the desk, scared to walk down there, the women sends me a soft smile gesturing for me to go in. I look around before walking through the door, once in the women closes it behind me.
“Come down here Savannah” I hear Harry’s voice say, this is when I see a staircase going down, this is so sketchy.
I take the stairs but make sure to go slow and keep looking around the poorly lit place, as I got to the bottom there was a door to my right, inside was Harry talking with a guy who must be Reece, around them were loads of filing cabinets.
“This is Savannah” Harry smiles looking towards me but I just stay in the doorway scared to fully enter.
“Finally you’ve found your mate” Reece says which makes my eyes just go wide, did Harry tell him we’re mates?
“Yep,” Harry says walking over to me getting close to my ear.
“Please play along” he whispers before pulling away walking back towards Reece.
“So what can I help you with?” Reece smiles sitting at his desk moving his hand to gesturing me to walk in.
I take slow steps into the room making my way to Harry who pulls me to sit on his lap, this feels so wrong, he has a mate and so do I!
“Savannah wants to find her birth parents, I was wondering if you could help us,” Harry says but Reece just stands up opening his arms.
“You came to the right place,” he says walking over to a set of filing cabinets but I just look at Harry who avoided eye contact with me.
What the heck is going on?
