I Don't Think This Is Normal | Animated Stories | My Story Animated

one of my favorite quotes is by siddhartha and it says i've always believed and still believe that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value however i never thought that i would live this quote out so soon in my teenage years i was not one of those girls who was overly excited to be in high school i just went to school did my schoolwork and went back home school was nothing but a place to learn after which i would go home and forget about it for the next 12 hours my day started out as normal that day my mother had woken me up early to do my morning chores i ate my breakfast and went to school as i walked into the class a ball hit me square in the face and as i fought to keep my balance i heard the whole class burst into a loud laugh i was able to keep myself upright and as i cussed out the entire class for laughing my eyes scanned the room until it landed on an unfamiliar face who seemed to feel sorry for me i groaned and walked to my seat as the classes went on for the day i was unable to get his face out of my mind his big round eyes felt sorry for me but his whole face feature was beyond handsome i looked back a couple times to catch a glimpse of his face and each time we made eye contact and he flashed me a boyish grin causing me to face my front in embarrassment finally it was lunchtime and i dashed out of the class to eat under my favorite tree i was able to forget him for about five minutes when someone cleared their throat behind me i raised my head and there he was he was ruthlessly gorgeous and he had that smile again he asked to sit with me and i obliged he told me he was new in town because his family recently moved across the state to my town by the end of the 30-minute lunch break we had developed a rapport and i had told him all about the school and places he should visit in town as days passed we became closer and it would seem that after years in my school i finally made a friend it was so easy to be friends with adrian we have similar hobbies we both love to play chess and ride dirk bikes even though both our moms disapprove we also have other things in common as we both have no siblings and we have the same birthday after about a month adrian was ready to tour the town and so i had to tell my mom about him if i was to hang out with him outside of school my mom was very happy that i made a friend and asked for all the details i happily told my mom about adrian and even expressed how wild it was that we were similar in so many ways this peaked her curiosity and she asked me weird questions about him she asked for his name his family name asked me to describe him and other things that i had not even thought to ask adrian but i understood that my mother was being overprotective of her only child i assured my mom that my new friend was a very good person and did my best to allay her fears i told my mom that we were just friends but also reminded her that if anything were to go beyond friendship she had promised me that i could date at 15 which i was at the time she did not look pleased but she didn't push the discussion further the more adrienne and i hung out the closer we became our friendship was noticeable in school and soon we got teased about our friendship we both realized and admitted to each other that we had never experienced such a connection that we had with anyone before for me it wasn't strange because i never made friends before him but he told me that he was one of the popular boys at his old school and even then he had never felt at home like he did with me it made me happy that my first real friendship was genuine and well-meaning we spent time in each other's company and always look forward to doing our favorite things together about three months after we met he invited me to go to the movies with him on a date and i accepted my mom did not like the idea and after pleading with her she decided to let me go on the date on the condition that she would drop me off and i would be home by 8 pm i was happy and accepted my mom begrudgingly drove me to the cinema and we waited a few minutes for adrian who was stuck in traffic not long after we arrived he texted me that his mom's car just pulled into the parking lot beside the car i had described as my mom's car i hugged my mom and got out of the car to meet my date but as i walked toward him i could not help but notice that my mom looked like she had seen a ghost and was staring at me adrian and then at his mom what was more baffling was that adrian's mother looked pale too and stared at my mom longer than necessary she shook her head as if she were trying to get rid of a bad vision and yelled at adrian to return to the car adrian and i were a few feet from each other and we both had confusion written on our faces he signaled at me and mouth the words i am sorry before returning to his mom's car in a split second his mom drove out of the parking lot the ride home was uneventful i had so many thoughts and questions in my head and my mom seemed to be lost in her thoughts too i could not figure out what made adrian's mom act like she did and why my mom looked like she had seen a ghost i did not say anything to her neither did she offer me any explanation i stayed in my room for the rest of the night and for the first time my mom did not come in to say good night i slept hoping the next day would make more sense it did not adrian avoided me in school and kept to himself he did not join me under the tree for lunch and didn't even attend a chess meeting and left school the minute the last bell went off never had i been so confused in my life i kept asking myself what i had done and played over the scene in my head repeatedly for more than a week we barely said a word to each other and i had to deal with the rumors that he had dumped me i was not bothered by the rumor and humiliation like i was with adrian's new attitude by the end of the second week i had had enough so i crossed him on the way home after school i confronted him about what had happened and asked him what was wrong he offered a lousy explanation about how he was too young to date but i knew he was lying seeing that i would get no decent explanation from him i let him go his way and promised to leave him alone forever the first thing i did on getting home was go to my mother's room i burst into tears and told her what had been going on i made her realize that i knew that she knows something and pleaded with her to tell me what was wrong i pestered her and promised to do whatever she wants if she would just let me in on what the issue was she hugged me and asked me to sit down which i did my mom took a seat in front of me inside deeply suddenly she burst into tears and told me the words i would never forget i think adrian might be your twin brother i chuckled at first and then realized she was serious in my 15 years of life my mother never told me i was a twin and now i was possibly dating my twin brother it felt like a sick prank my mother went on to explain that she had given birth to twins a girl which is me and a boy but as a single mother she had no resources to take care of both children she thought the best way she could give us a good life was to let her best friend who had been trying to have a baby for years keep and raise one of us as hers after that her best friend had moved away and she tried her best to live with the decision even though she regretted it and missed the child she never got to raise she then told me that her best friend was adrian's mom and she had been shocked to see her i wanted to be mad at my mom but i could not find the rage she had made a tough call and had to live with it for years adrian would never call her mom and that was hard enough as it is to both our surprises i stood up and hugged her i told her that i loved her and respect the sacrifices she had to make tough as they were i decided to call adrian on the phone and asked if we could talk we met up at our spot and i discussed what my mother had told me he seemed to have relief on his face as i spoke his mother had opened up to him earlier but he did not want to say anything to me because he thought i deserved to hear it from my mom we cried for a little while while together and hugged each other we both admitted that we've always wanted siblings after that time we became even closer and our families became interwoven we decided to make the best of what could have been a volatile situation and adrian and i remained best of friends till today my name is emma i'm 25 and live in a fairly nice home some would call me wealthy but i don't like to brag one day i was walking home and a group of boys jumped me i couldn't defend myself against all of them they were going to molest me luckily a man that was walking by was able to stop them he led me to somewhere safe telling me that his name was robert he shared the same sense of humor as me we quickly became good friends after many months our relationship grew to something more i thought he loved me but all he was after was my money on one of my birthdays he drew a beautiful portrait of me i had no idea he was able to draw so well i had that picture hung up on my wall for so long he proposed to me soon after and i immediately accepted i was ecstatic i thought i was finally getting my happy ending sometimes i see a phone number pop up on robert's phone but he'd never answer it i asked him one time why he never answers his phone he said that it was one of his clients i knew it was a lie but i didn't say a few weeks later i wanted to surprise robert for being a great fiance i went to his house and hid in a closet until he came home i heard his footsteps and prepared myself to jump out then i heard a woman's voice and froze they were in the middle of a conversation one about me robert says that he got what he wanted and is about to break up with me he was using me i jump out of the closet and throw the wedding ring at his feet i left that house with tears rolling down my cheeks i cried as i drove home my vision was so blurry i had to pull over my car i continued crying for i don't know how long it wasn't until i heard a knock on my car door that i realized i wasn't alone in the parking lot i wiped my eyes and rolled down my window hey he said you probably shouldn't be driving that condition i can take you home if you'd like i wasn't sure about letting a stranger drive my car but i was also desperate about getting home he told me his name was alex and he was a banker he looked trustworthy enough so i agreed still holding my phone if i needed to dial 9-1-1 luckily he was good to his word and brought me home weeks after that we were still talking and alex came to check up on me every day i realized that not all men are like my ex robert and i allow myself to open up i somehow found love again with alex alex proposed to me months later and we got married it wasn't long after that i found out i was pregnant i assumed it was alex's and he did too he was overjoyed about a child one day he was using my phone while i was cooking and called me over there was worry in his voice alex showed me a picture that i'd taken with robert kissing me on my cheek i'd forgotten to delete it i tell alex about robert and explain that he has nothing to worry about my ex was a jerk and i delete the photo a few days later i gave birth to a baby boy alex mentions that the baby doesn't resemble him i think he was worried that our baby wasn't his two years pass and alex is still uncertain about our child i try to tell him that it is definitely his but he isn't convinced we get a dna test to put his concerns to rest we wait a few weeks for the results it is alex's child we were both relieved alex finally stops mentioning the resemblance of our child and we move on with life it's a fairly normal and boring one but i wouldn't trade it for the world [Music] you
