Daniel POV

I reach the cabin and am about to open the door when I hear Spencer, and a guy talking.

I don't dare open the door, because the more I listen, the more I realize how familiar the guy's voice sounds...

I can't hear much but what I can scares me.

Fraternal twin brother.

Age of nine.

Mom and Dad.

Divorce.

My best friend.

Left with dad.

Got pushed to Mom.

My brother.

My Daniel.

I feel like I can't breath.

That can't be him!

That can't be my Gaelan!

Open the door, Daniel.

See if it's him.

As soon as I open the door two heads whip in my direction.

Spencer's arms are around him.

He's crying into her shoulder, but I know.

It's him.

Just looking into his brown/hazel/gold eyes I know it's him.

"G?"

My voice comes out horse and cracked.

"Daniel now isn't the time."

Spencer says as she breaks away from him and stands up.

I glance at her but quickly but my eyes move back to him.

He's wiping away any evidence that he had been crying.

"G? Is it really you?"

I ask again.

My voice is still cracked and I feel like I'm about to pass out if he doesn't say anything.

"Yea, Daniel it's me."

"You knew I was here?"

I ask kind of pissed.

"I kinda heard you on the phone last night."

He answers timidly.

"Last night? You were eavesdropping on my conversation?"

"Well... I just got jealous..."

Jealous? What does he have to jealous about?

"Jealous of what G?!"

I almost scream but am able to keep my voice level.

"Of you and Spencer! My friends and I were walking up to the cabin and we saw you two on the porch. When you went around back I followed you. I didn't even know it was you until dad got on the phone!"

His voice rises but not much.

"You listened to the whole conversation I had with my family!?"

I yelled, oh now I'm pissed.

I know he hates yelling because when mom and dad did it he would hide with me until they quieted down.

He flinched, and I instantly felt guilty.

"They are not your family! I am, Mom is and Dad! The others aren't!"

He yells back.

And the guilt fades.

"Mom didn't even say goodbye to me that day! She just let me leave without a word! Mom is the one who told us to stay away! It's her fault I haven't seen you in nine years!"

"What about you! We are still living in the same house! You could have tried!"

"What are you talking about?! I sent you a card every year on our birthday and at Christmas!"

"Liar! I never got anything from you or Dad in the nine freaking years since you left!"

"I've never lied to you G! You can always tell when I'm lying G! And I. Am. Not. Lying!"

"Prove it! Answer a question no one will ever tell me?"

"What question?"

"Why did Mom and Dad get a divorce?"

I freeze.

My breathing gets shallow, my mouth gets dry and I can't seem to get it to work.

"Answer me Daniel!"

I shake my head while scratching the back of my neck.

"I-I can't G. That's the one question I can't answer."

"Fine! I'm out of here! When you decide to tell me the truth, come find me!"

He tries to storm past me but I grab his upper arm.

"G don't do this, please" I beg.

He rips his arm out of my grasp and turns to me.

"Don't Daniel! Until you tell me the truth-" His voice cracks "- we're not brothers."

After that he runs out of the cabin.

"G! G! Gaelan! Don't do this! Please."

The last one comes out a whisper.

As I watch him run across the camp grounds.

I sit on my bunk before breaking down.

I let the tears flow freely down my face, but I try to cover them.

Before I can Spencer sits down beside me and pulls me into a hug.

Spencer's POV

I just stand there.

I look at each of them, and I see small characteristics that I never saw before.

They were fraternal twins, from what Gaelan just told me.

But they looked quite similar, yet so different at the same time.

They both had shaggy hair, with different eyes from the normal.

They both were caring.

You could read them both so easily.

They were both hiding their true feelings from one another.

They were barely scraping the surface.

They just were at the top of reuniting after nine years.

They both just thought that anger was the only emotion they could feel.

But, boy, were they wrong.

They flung accusations back and forth.

I was no longer listening as I knew if I did end up listening, I'd have to pick a side.

That was definatley not happening.

It was so confusing though.

I had only just learned the story behind the two.

They were going at each other like mortal enemies...when they were brothers who had just reunited after nine years.

Nine years of missed time.

I can see the hurt and jealousy, and frustration, and love, and fear seeping through every part of Gaelan.

He seemed like the sweet kind of boy who has a huge heart.

I could see that he thought through his heart.

Daniel was more logical about it.

Everything was out in the open emotion wise for him also, but they differed from one another at this point.

While Gaelan looked like he thought from feelings, and his heart...

Daniel thought with logic, and analyitical approaches that he easily missed the bigger picture.

Daniel was missing out on the fact that Gaelan wore his heart on his sleeve.

He was openly showing Daniel his feelings, and openly admitting to him how he was jealous when he saw Daniel kiss my hand last night.

In other circumstances I would have blushed.

But now was not the time.

Gaelan still trusted Daniel completely.

Daniel on the other hand was holding back.

He looked like he was holding something big back from Gaelan.

He wasn't as trusting as Gaelan was.

I knew that hold back was going to lead to something big.

I was awoken from my thoughts when I saw Gaelan's blue, insightful dark eyes focus on me.

I could see the guilt he felt for having forgotten about me being in the room with them, but honestly I couldn't care less about them forgetting me.

I was feeling so broken and scattered, I could feel their pain.

Both their pains, and it just killed me.

I felt the heart break.

Gaelan spared me one last look, and then slammed the sqeaky door shut.

Daniel was mumbling stuff, presumably to Gaelan, but when Gaelan didn't return, I saw him sit back on the bunk he was closet too and I saw the tears falling from his eyes.

I couldn't take his pain anymore than I could take Gaelan's.

I did what I did for Gaelan when he needed someone there for him.

I put my arms around Daniel, and held him there, drawing circles on his back like my mom did for me when I was upset and needed comforting.

Daniel's POV

I forgot Spencer was even in the room while Gaelan and I were fighting.

I lay my head down on her shoulder and continue crying.

"Shh Daniel shh. It'll be alright."

She whispers in my ear while rubbing my back in slow circles.

After a few minutes I pull away.

"Thanks Spencer. I'm sorry you had to witness all that. I never thought the reunion between us would end like that. He can't know, Spence, he just can't."

"He can't know what Daniel?"

"Why our parents divorced. It will kill him. He already disliked mom last time I checked. He hated having to stay with her while I went with dad. I thick I might have just gotten worse the years."

"Maybe he can handle it?"

No, he can't Spencer. I was told for a reason same with him not being told.

I was told because I'm the sensible one.

Gaelan he's very emotional, he's not really good at being really upset or angry.

"What happened between our parents will make him both angry, upset, yet heart broken at the same time and that won't be good."

"Did that ever happen before?"

"Yea once when I told him I was going to have to live with dad, after the divorce was final."

"What happened?"

"He tried punching me twice."

I laugh and wince at the memory slightly.

"We were nine, he was good, he got the first hit at me, and punched my cheek just like dad taught us, but the second time I was able to catch his fist in mid air. That's when he broke down and so did I."

"What are you going to do?"

"That's the thing. I don't know what I can do, Gaelan's heart is just so big, that its able to take soo much more of the pain than what I would feel...I have a tendency to detach myself from situations and choose to ignore the pain, like basically walk away from the pain, but Gaelan...He gets so invovled, that it hurts me to watch him get hurt everytime." I flinch at the memory, and then look at the door, practicallly willing Gaelan with my mind for him to come back through those doors.

"What are you going to do?"

"That's the thing. I don't know what I can do. How can I tell him-"

"Spencer? Spencer?" Ethan calls while running into the cabin.

"There you are! Hey Daniel! Spencer do you know where Gaelan is? We have this whole surprise planned for his birthday today. But we can't find him anywhere. Have you seen him?"

He says all smiling and happy.

It just pisses me off that this kid is my new replacement with Gaelan!

I can't handle all this emotion inside me so I just explode on the only person who's innocent in all this.

"Ethan, just go find him yourself! No one cares about the stupid surprise! Gaelan's probably around here somewhere anyways. so just piss off! Oh and for the love of god stop being such a drama queen like your idiot brother who doesn't understand that the truth isn't what he needs. God, just get out of here!"

It takes a moment but then his face drops and tears spring to his eyes.

"I thought of you like an older brother! Like Gaelan! But your worse then my druggie, alcoholic father!" He screams at me with tears running down his face and he runs from the cabin.

"Shit!"

I say mostly to myself running my hand through my hair and scratching the back of my neck.

"I gotta go Spence!" I call over my shoulder as I sprint out the door.

I do a quick scan of the camp and see Ethan out by the beach.

He's sitting in the exact spot I was last night when Spencer found me.

I run up the small hill and sit beside him.

"Go away Daniel"

He sighs.

His knees are pulled up to his chest, his arms are crossed over his knees and he drops his head down onto his arms.

"Ethan I am so sorry. I never should have yelled at you. It's not even you, It's Gaelan.

God, Ethan I am so sorry! I took my anger at our brother out on you."

"What happened with Gaelan?"

He asks timidly like bringing up his name will set me off again.
