The Truth (adopted by Anna Kendrick)

Meeting Her For The First Time, Again

I can only hear my mum's side of the conversation but I think it's going okay, I hope it's going okay. My mum is coming back into the living room now, so I act casual

What did she say?
Ten minutes
Really?
Yeah, she said she only came here to find you
O m aca g

I let a tear roll down my face so my acting was more convincing.
I waited the ten minutes staring at the clock.
Knock Knock Knock
I jump from my seat and run to the door, my "mum" at my heels. I open it and make sure a look of shock spreads across my face

Oh my god, you're actually Anna Kendrick
That's me
And you're my mum?
Yeah kid
I'm Jess
Nice to meet you Jess
You too Anna, come in, I'll put the kettle on
Thanks

We walk through and when my "mum" turns her back, Anna does a silent scream and gives me a thumbs up. Then my "mum" ruins the moment

So, Anna, what's the purpose of your visit
Well, ideally, if she wants it, I'd want to take Jess back to LA with me
Really?
Yeah
Jess, is that something you'd want to think about
I think you know I've already made my choice, I'm sorry, but that's Anna Kendrick, she's my hero, and she wants me to go live with her, to take me away from your lies
If that's how you feel, maybe you should go, Paul is out with El now so I'll say goodbye to them for you, but Danny is in her room
Okay, I'll say bye to her after I pack
Okay, goodbye Jess
Goodbye mum

I let out a small smile and then took Anna upstairs with me

Jesus, kid, you can act
Oh, thanks
Who's Paul, El and Danny?
Paul's my step dad and El and Danny are his daughters
Oh, do you have a lot to pack?
No not really, most of my stuff is related to you so I won't bring much of that, I'll leave it to El, she likes you too
Cool, maybe I'll sign something for her
That would be really nice

We walk into my room

Wow, you sure like your films
Yeah I do
And you play guitar, ooh and keyboard
A bit
Don't be modest

I laugh and we spend about half an hour packing, then she signs a pitch perfect poster

I'll go load this stuff into the cab and you can say goodbye to Danny
Okay, thanks

Knock knock
Danny?
Yeah?
It's Jess can I come in?
Yeah, of course
I'm leaving
What, like to town or something, you don't have to tell me that?
No, I mean for good
What?
Yeah, turns out I'm adopted, and my birth mother is Anna Kendrick, so I'm going to LA with her
Is that a joke?
No
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you too
I love you Jess
Love you too Danny

She gets up and hugs me, then pulls off her necklace and hands it to me. I smile slightly knowing how much it means to her, then we take a last photo together. I turn and pick up the bag I had left at her door and head for the cab, eyes filled with tears.

Are you sure you wanna do this?
More than anything, I just really loved her

She nodded and we got in the taxi together
