When we arrived home. My mother, Isaac and I all sat around on her bed and she retold the story of her and her husband's marriage. After all of that drama she just sat there hugging Isaac..her only son. My brother. It was a touching moment for both of them. Isaac to find out he had family and my mom to find out her boy was alive.
I sat on my bed, not angry or upset, but happy I was strangely happy and I guess you could say relieved.
Isaac knocked on my open door and smiled. I nodded gesturing him to enter. He did and climbed next to him. "Good news, I will be moving in with you and will help with all the money my father had." He smiled. "Its been a long day, get some sleep Tay. I am gonna go over to Scott's to explain everything, I won't be long." At that he kissed me on the cheek and walked out.
When the sun rose through my open curtains and blinded my eyes. I realized I had forgotten to set my alarm and I only had 15 minutes until school. So I slipped on a blue shirt and Jean shorts and tied my messy brown hair in a bun. As I left I glanced back and saw myself in the mirror. I had the same skin colour as Isaac, a light brown tan, and we had he same eye shape. Whoa. This is strange. When I reached the bottom of the steps I realised I didn't have a lift to school because I was still avoiding Stiles and Scott. I began to walk when Isaac cruised up next to me in a white sport car. "By the way Miss Blake, I was waiting for you. You do realise I have a car." He spoke with the rims of his sunglasses on the tip of his nose. I just rolled my eyes and climbed into the seat next to him. "So brother. " I said like a little girl. "Am I a Blake or Lahey?"
He chuckled at my silly comment. "Well I am a Lahey and mom's maiden name was Blake so I guess it's the same..." Isaac stumbled looking confused himself. We both laughed and carried on in silence afterwards.
During the school day I got another message from the teacher or whoever it was saying I must come to the Lacrose game tonight so I can support my brother and friends. How the hell Did they know about them.
I had to admit. I was terrified as I was looking down at my phone. Stiles clumsily ran around the corner and knocked us both to the ground. "Ow! What the hell is the rush Stiles." I yelled battling to keep my headache from spreading. "Oh my. Octavia I am so sorry." Stiles stuttered still out of breathe. I pushed him off me, gathered my books and walked off but soon heard the familiar foot steps of Stiles trying to catch up with me "Let us explain. Come on. We're friends." I turned around and looked into his puppy dog eyes and crumbled. "Fine. I will come over at 6 and I hope this is not some kind of joke." I mumbled in monotone. He made a silly face and told me that he would never joke around and he was a serious guy.
I turned before he could see me smile and laugh. I walked away as quickly as I could. Man I love that kid. I thought, hating myself for not staying strong.
