THE TRUTH BEHIND MY EYES

CONFESSION

“Explain Greco”
We are standing beside a small lake.
No one is here but us.
Greco is sitting on a rock while I am leaning against his car.
“Knifey, Tracy is my … sister. My own biological sister.”
What the fuck does that mean?
“In my family, the childrens don't have any mothers. The men in our family like to treat the women like a shit and they use them as children production. They don't marry any woman. They just want a heir. A male heir to run the family buisness.”
What a shitty family!
“In a way that's how also me and Reuben were born. Nannies were the ones who took care of us. We didn't know anything about our mother. But when we started to go to school we noticed that every child there had their mother exclude us.”
He is looking at the lake.
His eyes are blank.
“We went to our father to find out about our mother but they didn't tell us anything about them. We begged them but still they turned us down so me and Reuben decided that we would find out about them. We were 17 when we first found out about Reuben's mother. Her name is Sara Roberts. But she died from breast cancer when Reuben was just 6 years old.”
Poor Reuben.
“Reuben didn't get the chance to meet her mother. He was heartbroken by this. He still visits his mother's grave. Then we found out about my mother. Elizabeth Hernandez or Elizabeth Hutton.”
“Trace’s mother.” I whispered.
“I was shocked to see that she was my father's long time girlfriend. But I was on cloud nine that I had finally found my mother.I sent some people to her house to talk to  her but she told them that she didn't have any son.”
“What? Maybe your father frightened her or something?”
“I thought of that first then I found out from our house caretaker that she really didn't have any idea that she had a son.”
What the hell?
“He told me that my mom had a major accident and then she slipped into a coma.
That was the night when my father broke up with her.”
His father is really horrible.
“My father had to go to the hospital as my mom didn't have any parents or relatives alive with her. Soon he found out that my mother was pregnant. He was still having doubts whether it's a girl or not but when he found out that it's a boy he chose to keep me, because obviously he wanted an heir. After  nine months I was born. I went..”
“Wait a minute. I heard that in this type of case doctors have to do the  c section?”
“Yes, they have to and they did and..”
“When your mother woke up she didn't find it questionable that why has to gone through a surgery?”
“Will you let me finish at first? I am trying to tell you everything but you are cutting me off at every sentence.” He said irritatedly.
“Sorry”
Geez no need to be that angry.
“Okay,as for your question I found out about the doctor who had delivered me and went up to her but sadly she was in death bed and she couldn't said many things to me. But she informed me that they told my mother that when she had that accident she was pregnant that time and doctors found about that later. The baby had died and they had to perform the surgery to remove that dead fetus or something like that.”
“Oh, that is cruel. No one deserves this kind of lie. I mean dude she has a son and doesn't even know about that.”
He forced out a smile.
“I didn't even know what to feel when I heard about all of this. I couldn't even ask my so-called father because it would just make things worse. Then after further investigation I found out about Trace. At first I thought that maybe she was my step sister but then I found out that my father had contacted my mother 4 years after my birth. I don't know what happened after that but mother married Mr.Huton and after 7 months Tracy came into the world. It started to trigger questions in my head so I got some samples of Tracy for a DNA test.”
“How?”
“Well I bribed a teacher in her school and she gave me a bit of Tracy's hair.”
“Oh”
“The results are positive. That's how I found out that she is my sister.”
“But if she is your sister then why do you let Reuben use her? I mean Trace clearly has feelings for him and he is using her to find his true love.”
I am suddenly angry at him.
How can she do that to his own sister?
“Tracy is Reuben's first love.” He smirked at me.
My mind went blank for a minute.
“Wait, what?”
“Well, you see…………
