Victoria Tanya Taplin

Victoria rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Please, when was the last time you saw them care about anything involving me?" she wasn't even sure about the last time she saw her parents in the same room in their house. The last conversation she had with her mother was a phone call to let her know they were about to get on a flight for Paris and she'd been wired some money.

"But it's your dads office, isn't always locked when he's away?" Kathy looked behind her and noticed Wendy carrying Victoria's cleaned laundry up to her room. "Wont she tell on us?" she whispered, not wanting to draw attention to the two of them, but they were probably already spotted.

Victoria turned to Kathy and plastered on the biggest and most fake smile she could on her face. "Wendy's a sweetheart, she would never tattle on me," She eyed Wendy as the woman took the last few steps; Wendy knew better than to cross Victoria. Several employees of the Taplin family had been fired because of her.

"Stop being a little bitch and help me find my birth certificate or else I'll fail the stupid family assignment." Victoria was already annoyed that she had to do the work of this assignment instead of having a nerd do it for her. Instead she had to go searching her fathers file cabinet in hopes she'd find her birth certificate and search her stupid family tree.

Kathy was hesitant to do anything but stand there, she looked behind her one more time before following Victoria into the office. She didn't touch anything right away, but once she saw Victoria start shifting through the files.

At first Victoria and Kathy didn't find much besides her mothers business information or stuff on her dads campaign. Until, that is, she stumbled upon a file with her name on it. "Got it, this must be it." She smiled happily, seeing an A on her assignment already.

"What did you find?" Kathy asked as she walked over to stand next to Victoria. She tried looking over her shoulder, but Victoria hid the next piece of paper from her.

"Yeah. I found what I needed." She swallowed the lump in her throat, as she held the file tightly in her hand. "Um, I'm suddenly not feeling well, just go home." she pushed past Kathy and headed towards the stairs to hide in her room and look over what she had just found further.

"I said go!" Victoria yelled as she stomped up the stairs, clutching the file to her chest. 

She didn't make sure Kathy left her house or not, she figured she would leave or else just be standing there like an idiot. Once she was safely in her room after kicking Wendy out despite her clothes not completely put away, she opened the file again. She skipped the first part with the vaccines and surgery and everything and went straight to the invoices. She looked them over again before picking up the piece of paper that had made her kick Kathy out. 

Her Birth certificate wasn't signed by her parents, and it didn't have Victoria as her name at all.

She was born to a different couple with the name Sandy. And the couples name were the same ones on the invoices labeled baby. She'd been sold to her current parents for a large amount of money. 

"So, no one wants me." She felt the tears on her cheeks before she realized she was actually crying, and pulled her legs up to her chest, feeling completely alone.
