Finding Out: Part 1

secrets

‘how’d you mean it then?’ I crossed my arms

‘well, I was just relieved and I just said it like that’

‘relieved that what?’

‘nothing special’

‘no, tell me’

‘well, I was thinking that when you said that you met a guy I thought that you blown your cover’ I could tell that he was lying because his ear was twitching but I let it go this time.

‘okay, but let’s go do something.’

‘I suggest that we go back to the real world and then do things for ourselves’

‘but I don’t want to leave’ Marcus complained and we all looked at him in shock

‘what? Why not?’ Samuel asked him with wide eyes

‘because I want to play with Irina’

‘but you can play with her another time’ I said and I started walking towards Irina who was yawning while she was sitting on Marcus’ lap. I picked her up and put her on my hip

‘can I put her in bed?’ I looked at him weird but didn’t give him Irina

‘why do you want to do this?’ I narrowed my eyes at him

‘just because.’ he didn’t finish his sentence

‘just because what?’

‘I am not going to finish that sentence’ I shook my head and turned around.

I started walking towards the TV and I picked the book snow white, how original, and I started walking around the corner. Then I walked up the stairs and when I was upstairs I was being held by my waist, I carefully turned around and I saw Marcus, he looked like he was about to cry.

‘what’s wrong?’ I asked him worried and he held his index finger to his mouth, tell the others to go away, he mouthed to me and I nodded

‘guys, could you go away please? I am going to put Irina in bed and then I’m coming to the real world’ I said and I got a chorus of okay’s, the door opened and then closed.

check if they’re really gone, I mouthed to Marcus and he nodded, when he came back he talked to me, Irina had fallen asleep in my arms.

‘she looks like my sister’ there came a sadness in his eyes, but only in his eyes, he tried to be strong, but for who.

‘you have a sister?’ I asked enthusiast

‘can I meet her? How old is she?’

‘you can’t meet her’ he looked down

‘why not?’

‘because she’s dead’ he said bitter and my eyes went wide

‘what. How?’

‘remember that I said that my parents were dead?’I nodded ‘they were murdered, and so was my little sister’

‘what. Why?’

‘I don’t know, but I was young and I loved playing with my sister, she was a baby when I was 16’

‘wait that isn’t even a year ago’ he shook his head and tears gathered in his eyes but he was still looking down

‘I came home late, I went to a party with your brothers, but when I came home everything was out, a the lights and I don’t know, I just freaked, my parents always leave at least one light on, even if it is just one Christmas light, they do that to let me know that everything was all right. I ran inside, I was immediately sober, I was worried, I called Jacob and they came almost immediately. I looked everywhere for them but I couldn’t find them, there wasn’t a note either, so I knew there was something terribly wrong. So when your brothers arrived they brought their father, Deamon, and we searched everywhere in the house and around the house.’
