Chapter 443: Chapter 143- Addie – Heading Home (VOLUME 2)

**ADDIE'S POV**

I knew that I should control my emotions. I knew that I shouldn't be letting myself look so excited about where it was that I was going. I knew that I shouldn't be bouncing in my seat with the buzzing energy that I just couldn't seem to control. I knew all of this, but I still couldn't stop myself. I was too happy about going home.

Yes, I wasn't supposed to refer to it as home, not anymore anyway. And I was supposed to pretend that I was adopted and that these people weren't my blood family. That was all well and true, but I also knew that I would never be able to pretend like I didn't love my family.

I may be a lot of things, and I may have gotten better at acting and lying, but that was just one feat that I would never be able to accomplish. I cared far too much for my family and the people that I loved to pretend like they were nothing to me. So, that was why I knew that this visit was going to be difficult in a lot of ways.
