The Life of Emily Dolan

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:
The next day.

Sophie and I were waiting for this Gavin fellow at the mall.

Emily: I hate this
Sophie: what?
Emily: lying to my brothers about what I'm doing
Sophie: we didn't lie technically... we did say we were gonna go to the mall
Emily: but it's still lying, and I'm pretty sure they made a rule on that
Sophie: well you won't get caught, like honestly how else are they gonna find out about this?
Emily: I guess you're right
Sophie: I'm always right

Just then a guy walk up to us and Sophie hugged him, I'm guessing this was Gavin.

Sophie: Gavin, this is my best friend Emily, she's from Jersey. She just moved in with her brothers

Gavin looked at me and I was hypnotized by his beautiful blue eyes.

Emily: h-hi I-I'm E-Emily
Gavin: I know Sophie just told me

Stupid! Stupid, Stupid! Emily!

Emily: right...
Gavin: so Sophie told me about your situation
Emily: yeah... you think you can help?
Gavin: "you think I can help?" Oh please I've been doing this for years. Who do you think invented the trick to change grades from the school computer?
Emily: wow you're good. Do you think you can do mine?
Sophie: Emily! He's here to find your birth mother not lie to your brothers
Emily: *whisper to Gavin* I'm gonna need that for the future
Gavin: got it, *sits down with us and open laptop* okay, just tell me what hospital you're born in, date of birthday and your parents name

I gave him the information and it took him a couple of minutes to find the information.

Gavin: found it
Emily: wow that was easy, what did you find?

I payed the taxi with my brother credit card.

Gavin: where did you get that cash?
Emily: I stole it from my brother Grayson
Sophie: you did what?!
Emily: relax, they will get their money back , eventually.... with the money they earn from youtube
Sophie: wow, you're so spoiled since you think money grows on trees
Emily: well that's because my big brothers buy it for me
Gavin: *whispers* is she for real?
Emily: I heard that! And you are not a very good whisperer
Gavin: sorry

We went into the rehab center and I got the information from the desk.

???: I'm sorry but the women you're looking for checked out about 6 months ago
Emily: what?!
Sophie: wait a minute, didn't your dad died 6 months ago
Emily: yeah why?
Gavin: your dad died? I'm so sorry
Emily: it's okay really, but wait what's my birth mom doing in California, not Jersey
Sophie: hello aren't you not making the connection here? Your dad set this whole thing up. He knew what happened to your mom and flew her down here to get help
Emily: your right, maybe my dad did know about this. But why would he keep this a secret
Sophie: maybe he didn't want to hurt you
Emily: like he already did to me right now

Sophie sigh and pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back and thanked her comfort.
