CHAPTER 48
VIVIANA QUINN
I was helping Mum with a few old photo frames in her room and she was telling me about Xavier's childhood.
I came across a picture of Xavier and another kid. He was taller than Xavier.
“Mum.” I called while observing the picture.
“Yeah.”
“Who is he?” I asked, pointing at the other boy with Xavier.
A sad smile plastered on her lips “Xavier's brother.”
What!? Xavier has a brother.
“Xavier has a brother?”
She nodded, taking the frame from me she stared at it. “My son, Nathan. He was 4 years older than Xavier and the sweetest kid.”
In the whole sentence one word caught my ears.
Was. Why was?
“Where is he now?” I asked.
“He is dead.”
“W-What? H-How?”
A drop of year fell from her eyes. “H-He…” She stopped, then wiping her tears she said “A-Accident. He met with an accident.” Suddenly she started keeping the frames back in the box.
“It's been years, Viv, let's not bring that up.”
Something's fishy. If Xavier had a brother why does he tell everyone that he is a single child? Is it because they don't wanna bring up the topic of Nathan?
Or is it something else?
It's nothing. Stop being Sherlock Viv.
I looked outside due to some noise and it was the sound of rain pouring. I smiled.
Maybe she will feel better.
“Let's go outside.” I said getting up from the floor.
“It's raining, Viv.”
I held her hand “C'mon, let's go.”
She stood up and I almost ran with her downstairs. Xavier, Mr. Quinn, Gd… all of them were in the living room talking and when I ran with Mum, they stared as if I was crazy
“Your wife is mad.” Mum shouted to Xavier as she was forced to run with me.
I laughed.
I opened the door and we went out in the rain.
“Viv, what are you doing?” Mr. Quinn shouted, getting up from his seat.
Mum held my hands tightly “Jesus! It's so cold.”
“It's so good!” I shouted back to her.
She opened her arms and closed her eyes with her face up in the sky. I smiled, seeing her smiling. She looked genuinely happy.
“You are crazy.” She said, still holding herself in the same position.
“But you love it!” I shouted back.
A few minutes later Mr. Quinn joined us. Mum hugged him, hiding her face on his chest.
“Both of you are out of your mind. But I agree this is fun.”
“She forced me, I didn’t want to come here.”
I laughed and twirled. I was dancing as if I was taking a shower. She came to me and hugged me “You know, you’re the best daughter.”
