In The Blink Of An Eye

Who Do You Believe?

"WHAT??? SILAS IS THE MWAF?"

My dad and Jake looked at me with confusion. They couldn't believe what I was doing. And honestly, I couldn't believe what I was doing either. How was this making anything any better? She was dating Viktor and of course she was going to say something. Oh for God sakes, Silas was coming to the wedding. Ahhhh!!! What the hell was I supposed to do?? How was I supposed to fix this without messing everything up?

"Silas is the MWAF?" Asked my brother from the doorway.

Quickly I turned to face him. We didn't even know that he was there. Omg! This was getting worse and worse by the second. Not only did I have to find a way to fix this with Aileen but now I had to find a way to fix things with my brother too. This day couldn't get any worse if I tried.

Our wedding was in less than two weeks and Silas was going to show up while my brother and sister thought that he was the MWAF. And the more we lied to them the worse it was going to get. I had to fix this and I had to fix this right now. I would rather them not come to the wedding because they were mad at my dad than for them to be mad at all of us for lying to them the entire time. I couldn't tell them the truth here. Not in front of my dad and Jake, especially not in front of Lilli.

"Hey, do you mind taking Aileen and I to the shop? I need to get a couple of things for the wedding." I asked Liam.

"Yeah that's fine. I'll drop you guys off and run a few errands and I'll come pick you up whenever you're done."

"Jake, do you mind staying here with Lilli?"

"No, of course not. We'll be here with your dad."

Jake knew that I didn't actually have to go to the shop and that I was just trying to find a way to get my brother and sister out of the house. He looked at me in a way to signal that I was doing the right thing. Even though I was aware that this had to happen, I wasn't sure that I was making the right decision. I had no idea what to expect from my brother and sister or how they were going to react. The last thing I wanted was for them to be as hurt as I was when I found out but I knew that the pain, shock and disappointment they were going to feel was inevitable.

Couple of minutes later my brother, sister and I left the hotel and went to the car. I know that I had to do this but I felt horrible and had no idea how to go about it. I was scared of making a mistake. I was so distracted by my thoughts and how to tell them that I didn't hear my brother asking me a question. Suddenly, I felt his hand on my shoulder as he pushed me.

"Hellooo? Do you not hear me asking you something?" He exclaimed.

"Omg I am so sorry. What did you say?"

"I said where are you going? Where do I drop you all off at?"

"Actually... I don't need to go to a shop."

"But you just said..."

"I know what I said but I lied. I just needed to get you and Aileen out of the room."

"What? Why?" Asked Aileen.

"I need to talk to you both about something very important. I don't know how to even begin but the longer I was the harder it's going to be. So...here goes nothing."

They both looked at each other and then looked back at me with confusion. They had no idea what was about to happen and I was totally freaked out by how they were going to react. I had a reason to hate him, Brayden, I had millions of reasons. So when my dad told me about him the only emotion I felt was anger and disappointment. But...it wasn't the same for my brother and sister. I mean of course they were aware of the whole situation with me and how much he made me suffer but they didn't experience the things I've experienced. The worst of what they went through was finding out about our parents and thinking that they were both dead. Of course that was all because of Brayden and they knew that, but I was scared that they weren't going to have the same anger and hatefulness towards him that I had. You might be thinking that I'm selfish and rude for wanting them to hate him as much as I did, but I did. I wanted them to hear about him and never want to hear anything else about him for as long as they live. However, in the back of my mind I had this nagging thought that they might not end up hating him and instead want to know all about him. After all, he is their brother.
