"It's going to fall!" I cover my eyes
Me, Jake, my dad and grandma are currently playing jenga in the dining room
"No it's not" Jake smirks, pulling one of the blocks from the bottom
"Show off" I stick my tongue out at him
"My turn" my grandma rubs her hands together
"C'mon grandma!" I cheer her on
As she starts pulling a block out, the towers begins to wobble, causing her hand to shake
The tower suddenly falls, crashing onto the table
"Oh darn it" my grandma chuckles
"Good game guys" I say, walking off into the kitchen to get food
My dad walks in after me
"Dad, can I ask you something?" I look around the kitchen, avoiding eye contact
"Sure?"he says, making it sound more like a question
"Do I have any siblings that I don't know about?" I finally lock eyes with him
"Of course not, why would you ask that?" He frowns
"Well what about my mum? Do you think she's had any more kids?" I ignore his question
"She hasn't" he replies, bluntly
"How can you be so sure?" I question
"Gabby, drop it" he gets up
"No!"I shout, slightly more louder than intended
He slowly turns back around
"Do not, ever raise your voice at me Gabriella" he warns
I walk past him, ignoring him
"Gabby, where are you going?" Jake asks
"I need air, I just want to be alone right now" I slightly smile at him, walking out the front door
What is my dad keeping from me?, what is so bad that he can't tell me?
Every time I bring up my mum, he gets so defensive
She's my mother, I deserve to know why she isn't in my life.
But no, I just get told to "drop it"
I stop and sit down on the sand, I have no idea where I am right now
I pull out my phone, dialling an all too familiar number
"Gabby?" The voice speaks
"Can you come and meet me?" I ask, looking around for any signs
"Where are you?"
"Hang on" I put the phone on speaker and go onto my maps
"Santa Monica Pier" I say, taking the phone off speaker
"I'll be right there" they hang up

"Gabby?" I hear a male voice say my name
"Nash" I smile
"Are you okay?" He asks, concern in his voice, sitting down next to me
"Not really" I shrug
"What happened?"
"My dad, that's what happened" I look out at the sea
He doesn't say anything, waiting for me to explain
"Every time I bring up my mum he just dismisses it.
I just want to know who she is, and why she's not in my life. Is that really too much to ask for?" I look over at Nash, feeling my eyes gloss with water
"Hey, don't cry" he pulls me into a hug
"Maybe your dads just protecting you from something that might hurt you" he rubs my back
I pull away
"Nash?" I look up at him
"Yeah?"he smiles
I gulp
"Are you my brother?"
