Tyler walked into the house. She was lost in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice the silence of the house. It’s just passed 5PM and she is aware that her mothers will be home soon. It had been two weeks since she saw Janice and everything seemed to have calmed down. She finished taking the high school entrance exams and as expected she passed. And now there is already a schedule for her operation. Right now her thoughts were full. She is still having a hard time processing everything. She walked into her room and lied in bed. She could feel her tears running down her cheek as she recalled the conversation she had with her biological mother the day after her entrance exams.

    "I never wanted to leave you," Janice said as she tasted her coffee. "I tried to get you but they never gave you to me."

    "I don’t want to listen to any of this. Is this why you brought me here?" Tyler asked now irritated. The last thing she wants is having this woman take control over her. "I want to go home!" Tyler tried to stand up but Janice grabbed her pulling her back to her seat.

    "I just want to talk to you, Tyler. If you won’t return to me then at least I could let you know that I never wanted to abandon you. The time we had you, it was very crucial. My parents were part of those people who has to maintain their picture clear for people to see. They were devastated when they found out that I was pregnant. They wanted me to have an abortion but I declined telling them that I’m giving you up for adoption. They agreed. I had to do it because I want you to live and to see what a wonderful world this is. I’m thankful to Bette and Tina for giving you such comfort in life and for even taking care of you just as a real mother would do," Janice explained. She felt her eyes hurt because even if she kept pushing her tears back, they just won’t stop flowing.

    "They are my real parents," Tyler said trying to suppress her emotions. "What do you want from me?"
