"He's at mine now! Do you guys want to come back and meet him?" Bessie asked.
"Yes!" Molly and I said together. Bessie laughed, slung her bag over her shoulder and we started to walk down the road towards Bessie's house. It only took 10 minutes to walk back to Bessie's house. We saw a black land rover parked outside Bessi's house as we approached her drive. Bessie smiled at us and led us up the drive. She opened her green front door and let us in behind her.
"We're back!" Bessie yelled, taking off her coat and hanging it on the stairpost. Molly and I hung our there too.
"Who's we? And you have a guest in the living room," Bessie's sister Hettie called from the kitchen.
Bessie didn't bother to reply and walked into the living room. Molly and I followed. And sure enough, there in the armchair sat Harry Styles.
"Hey Babe," He smiled, getting up , wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing her forehead.
"Hi Harry," She replied, hugging him. Molly and I were in complete shock! Our best friend was dating someone from one direction!
"You all look so sweet and innocent in your school uniforms!" Harry smirked, turning to study all three of us. Molly blushed and straightened her short skirt. Bessie laughed and twirled jokingly around for him. I just looked down at my black shoes.
"So who are your friends Bess?" Harry asked as we all sat down.
"This is Molly and she's been my best friend since Year 7," Bessie introduced, pointing to Molly. Harry smiled at her.
"And this is Soph, she's been my best friend since we were babies!" Bessie told him, gesturing to me.
"Hi Soph," He smiled. I smiled back. Then when he looked away to talk to Bessie, I studied him. His brown hair was curled just like mine and his green eyes sparkled like mine. My thoughts were interrupted my Hettie coming into the living room and slinging herself on my lap. Let me just explain, my brother, sister and I had known Hettie and Bessie since we were born , therefore they were more like our sisters'.
"Hi Hets," I smiled, as she stood up and hugged me properly.
"Hi Molly," She then turned to Molly and smiled. Then she looked at Bessie and winked. Bessie rolled her eyes.
"Hi Harry," Hettie greeted. Harry said Hi back and Hettie left, satisfied with greeting everyone.
"Sorry that's my sister, she's a little crazy," Bessie told Harry. Harry nodded as if he understood.
"It's way worse when our other sister Nora's here too," Bessie smiled. I smirked, remembering all the crazy things we'd done when our families went on holiday together. Then there was a knock at the door. We heard Hettie run to answer it and then we heard a few sniffles. Then Hettie burst into the living room followed by my big sister Pippa. She was crying a little.
"Pip! What's wrong?" I asked, standing. She shook her head and bit her lip, as if considering wether to tell me.
"You need to get home right now! Mum and Dad have to tell you something massive!" She said. I quickly hugged Bessie, Molly and Hettie goodbye. Then I grabbed my coat and my bag and followed my sister out of the house. She pulled her hoodie tighter around herself and shook her fringe out of her face.
"Pippa, is it something really bad?" I asked, chewing the inside of my lip. Pippa didn't reply and carried on looking ahead where she was walking. Now I was starting to get really worried. On the rest of the walk, all that could be heard were Pippa's snuffles and the wind blowing leaves across the pavement. When we got there I saw my big brother Noah waiting at the door, there were tear streaks on his face too. I stopped.
"Seriously guys! What's going on?" I stuttered looking from Noah to Pippa. They didn't reply, but Noah hugged me as I walked past him into the house. I was starting to get nervous of what was going on. I walked into the living room to find my parents sat down in silence.
"Um, mum, dad, what's going on?" I asked nervously. My dad stayed silent but my mum gestured for me to sit down in between them. She looked into my eyes and I stared into her icy blue ones. She started to stroke my hair and to cry again. I opened my mouth to ask but she shushed me.
"Now, Sohpia darling, you dad and I both love you very much but we have something to tell you," My mum said.
"I'm adopted I know," I told them gently. My mum took a deep breath.
"That's not the main point Soph," She breathed out. She looked at my dad for help but he was in tears.
"We want you to bond with your real family Soph, you real mum , your dad, your step dad, your real brother and sister," And that's when I broke and started to cry.
"But mum, you are my family, Pippa and Noah and my brother and sister and you are my mum and dad," I sobbed. My mum smiled through her tears and stroked my cheek.
"I know darling but this family is your real family, and we still love you just as much, we feel that now you are 17 its time to meet your birth family," My mum told me.
"So when am I meeting them?" I asked innocently and my mum burst into tears again.
"We're sending you to live with Anne, Robin and your brother and sister, you'll also get to spend time with your dad Des. They live in Chesire," My mum said.
I couldn't believe it. Today had just been a normal day. I'd woken up late, stolen Noah's toast, begged Pippa to drive me to school, been late for registration, I had gotten confused in maths and copied off the nerd I sat next to and I had been bored out of my mind in Mr Hampson's lesson. Now all of a sudden I was going to live with my birth family in Chesire.
"When do I leave?" I asked. My mum and Dad shared what seemed to be a guilty look.
My mum swallowed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Tomorrow,"
