Chapter 30

I walked to the dining area where everyone was eating pizza. I sat down next to Rose.
"So, who's the boy that is always with you?" Suzan asked me, trying to create a conversation.
"His name is Brett." I told her.
"Is he your boyfriend or....?"
"Her fiancé." Rose answered.
Everyone's head was snapped to Rose.
"Neighbor. He's just a neighbor!" I responded.
"But you said that you were going to marry him on the first day of school. Remember?" Rose asked.
"Melissa!" my dad shouted.
"Dad, he's not my boyfriend or my fiancé!" I told him.
"I don't know, I'd say that you two are set for life, the way you both always flirt." my grandma commented.
"I think I'm going to have a talk with this Brett boy." my dad murmured.
"And plus, I know that Brett likes you!" Rose added.
"Rose, you have no proof of that." I said.
"Yes I do. I saw-"
"Okay, I'm sorry that I brought this up. Let's just eat the pizza, shall we?" Suzan suggested.
We have been at the dining table eating pizza for around a half an hour. Suzan is actually very nice, intelligent, and funny. And she makes my dad happy. But only if they weren't keeping a big secret! 
We suddenly heard a loud thunder.
"I heard that there was suppose to be a storm tonight." my grandpa informed.
"Suzan, it's too dangerous for you to drive back. Why don't you stay here for the night?" my dad suggested.
"Thank you, Derek." Suzan said.
Our dinner was over, so my grandparents, Rose, and I ran back to our house. Obviously since there was a storm!
I walked up to my room and got changed into my pajamas, tank top and shorts.
I opened my window and knocked on Brett's window. I had to tell somebody about those files!
Brett opened the window. Brett was in his t-shirt and pajama pants. "What is it Melissa?"
"Brett! Can I come into your room? This is urgent!" I told him.
"Here." Brett got out a large piece of wood and placed it between our windows. Yeah, getting to each other's room by a tree is kinda dangerous, so we decided to use a large piece of wood as a bridge instead.
I got on the piece of wood and scurried over to Brett's room, all wet since it was raining outside.
"You need a hoodie?" Brett asked as he handed me his hoodie.
"Thanks." I put on his hoodie. His hoodie was too big for me due to our height difference, but it was comfy. It also smells good... okay, erasing that thought from my head.
"So what's up?" he asked.
"I found out that my dad and Suzan have been lying. Suzan isn't an actual real estate agent. Dad and Suzan have also been trying to find someone for a few years and now they found that person. But I have no idea why and who they found. Suzan have these files that I know is the key to finding out what's really going on. But the files are in her car." I explained to Brett.
"Wow, that is complicated." Brett commented.
"So Brett, can you help me find the files in Suzan's car?" I asked.
"How are we going to get in Suzan's car?"
"I have the keys." I said, showing him the car keys.
"Wow Melissa, I never knew you could be such a rebel." Brett chuckled.
Brett and I sneaked out of his house and quickly ran to Suzan's car. I opened the car door and Brett and I got in the car.
"Is the files in the purse at the back seat?" Brett asked, pointing to the purse.
"Yes!" Brett and I scurried over to the back seat, tripping on our own feet. We both laughed.
I searched her purse and quickly found the files. Brett and I looked over at the files.
"Adoption papers?" I said, dumbfounded. Suzan's and dad's name is signed on the paper.
