IWGH:Finding Myself||Chapter 3|| - Video
PUBLISHED:  Oct 18, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
I Looked At The face above the words.A Chubby,Smiling Little girls face.then at the date she'd gome missing:September 8 1997.Less than 2 months before i was adopted.
My heart seemed to stop beating.The birth date was a couple day out,and i was british not american like the missing girl.So it wasnt possible,was it? the question seeped like a drug through my head,turning me upside down and inside out,filling me up,Could I Be Her?


I Stared at the little girl on the screen,searching her face for signs that might be me.
"Sophia,Jams here".mums shout made me jump,my heart raced as jams footsteps pounded up the stairs.i reached forward and minimised the screen,i ranto the door,just as jam got there.'Hi,Sophiaro'jam smiled.his dark hair was gelled back off his face and he smelled of soap.'Finished your homework?'
'yeah.Er..no,actually;i was hardly listening'I need something from downstairs'
Jam Frowned,but followed me down to the living room,mum was sat on the sofa watching the news on tv.'Mum where're our photo album? she stared at me,'End cupboard'she pointedto a pair of wooden doorsi the corner of the room,'Why the sudden interest?'i raced over and started pulling out albums,flicking through pages.'Where are the oldest ones of me?'i said.
Silence.i glanced up,Mum and Jam were both looking at me as if i was mad.'Whats this about,sweetheart?'Mum's Voice sounded tense.i put down the album i was holding.'Its for this"who i am"thing.i said slowly.'Its finished but i thought it would be nice if i put a picture of me when i was younger,alongside one of me now,im only rushing cause jams here.'
Mums face relaxed'try the green folder at the end' I Pulled it out and opened it to the first page,there i was.serious little face,Wispy blonde bob.i showed mum.;When Was this taken?'i asked'Christmas ninety-five;she said'just after we got you'this was the best i was going to get.'can i take it?'Sure'mum said'But make sure you bring it back,those pictures are precious'she smiled,I Stooded up,'i'll be back in a minute'i looked at mum to jam.he stared back at me suspiciously.'i just want to scan this in'i ran back up stairs to mums study and pulled up the missing-children.com,i held my the photo of me next to the picture on the screen of millie sophia jonas.I think i would expected this would prove thing one way or the other.it didnt.Millie Jonas was chubby and dimpled and laughing.In the photo from mums album i was thinner and i wasnt smiling.And Yet There were similarites:the shape of the eyes,the crease under the lips.it could be me.it all,almost,fitted.i felt like i was on one of those funfair rides that spin you round in so many different directions at once that you cant tell which way is up.If that was me ,i wasn't who i thought i was.I had a different name.A different nationality.Even a different birthday.None of the facts of my life where certain.'What are you doing?'Jam was staring at me from the doorway,a puzzled expression on this face.
'Nothing'i quickly minimised the screen.I was being ridiculous.The Whole Thing was too bizarre.Jam laugh at me if i told him - tell me to beam back tup to planet Egotrip or something.And yet i wanted to show him.I wanted to know what she thought.
'Dont give me that'Jam narrowed his eyes.'You've been freaking out since i got here.All the crap with the photo albums.You just wanted me out of this room'
'No i didnt Jam'I tried to smile.'its just this wierd thing...'i trailed off.Jam walked over to the computer.'What kind of wierd thing?'he grinned,but the grin didnt quite reach his eyes.
'Like some wierd guy asking you out?What did you say?
"What?No.Ew.No way'what was jam going on about?he knew i was like,totally uninterested in dating and boys.;Then Why..?'Jams eyes focused on the minimiser lozenge at the bottom of the screen.'Why are you looking at a missing children site?'
"Promise you wont laugh?' He nodded.I Clicked back onto the site.Millie Sophia Jonas appeared on the screen.Jam Glanced from her to the photograph of me on the desk beside the computer.He Frowned'What?his eyes widened.'You dont thinks that's you ,do you?'
I Looked away,my cheeks burning'I dont know' i whispered.I looked up.Jam was clicking on a
link marked:age progressed photograph.'Wait'i cried out. But it was too late.A New picture was on the screen,showing Millie Sophia Jonas as she might appear now.i didnt want to look at it and yet i couldnt stop myself.It was me.But at the same time it wasnt.The face was too longand the nose too cutesy and turned-up looking.
