The pic is of Christian, a.k.a Chris, (Alana's brother)
**RECAP**
"Alana... You gave me the wrong folder, sweetie." A voice came from behind me and I looked to see Meredith with a folder.
I took the folder and looked through it to find my English homework and assignments. "Oh- I-I'm sorry. Let me just get th-.... Here." I said handing her the right folder. "Well, I forgot to intoduce you to my son. Noah." She beemed. I was filled with shock. Son?
And all I could do was smil shakily.

Next morning
-----------------------
I still couldn't get my head around the fact that Meredith had a son, and let alone Mr. CPR. Anywho... I was tossing and turning in my bed because of a dark thought that passed my mind. Sitting up, I tiptoed to my door and opened the door quietly. As slient as a mouse I creeped down stairs, trying not to making any noise but that was almost impossible because the stairs creeked underneath my feet.
I finally got to the bottom of the stairs and made my way to the kitchen, only to find the light on and Christian sitting a stool near the kitchen island with his head in his hands. He turned towards me with his tearful face; he looked very tired. "Chris wha--" Before I could finish he mumbled, "Why are you up?"
"I couldn't sleep. But enough about me, what happened to you?" Chris used to be my best friend since I was little, he still is one of my bestest friends but as time passed, we grew more and more apart. "Nothing. Go to sleep, Lana."
"Christian, I am practically going to be an adult; and I know that we haven't been that close but I am always here for you. So tell me what got you looking like this?" I asked.
Chris sighed in response, and rubbed his face with his hands. "Nothing... I just... got in a fight with...-" I gasped, rather loudly. "For Christ's sake would you quiet down?" Christian whispered.
"You got in a what?!" I muttered sliently and very hoarsely. "Got in a fight? I'm gonna go tell dad." I was about to leave when two strong arms pulled me back. "No you won't. Dad will freak out, maybe even have a heart attack!!" Christian growled quietly.
Turning around to face him, I noticed all of the fresh bruises on his face. With a huge sigh I gave in. "Aright... I won't tell." I grabbed his arms and dragged him to my room. "Let me get my First-Aid kit. Be right back," I whispered and slowly rushed into my washroom.
-------
After wiping all the blood, cleaning the bruises and bandaging the cuts on Christian's arms, I asked him again, "Now is the time that I force you to explain." He looked at me and then back towards the wall. "You know you remind me a lot of Mum." He chuckled lightly, and I smiled.
"Well... What happened?" I questioned. Chris let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his face again. "I am really tired. I'll tell you in the morning." He let out a fake yawn. I was about to intervene but I could really see that he was in pain, so I decided to let go off the subject.... For now.
" Okay," I mumbled before helping him get up. "Good night, Lana." Christian whispered before giving me a hug and quietly going into his room. Sure he could be a jerk at times, but he was brother; someone who I know really cares for me.
I put everything into the First-Aid box and got into bed. I kept thinking about all the things that happened in my life, even those memories that I want to forget but can't. Soon after, I dozed of into sleep, sweet sleep.
