Scott and I took the remainder of the morning getting to know Luke who was supposed to be my brother. He explained how his name was Luke Manchester and how he was placed for adoption but was on a hunt for his biological mother whom he recently came to find had passed recently. Luke has also informed how he wants to be help in figuring out who murdered her since mother wrote him stating a series of evidence. 

He handed me the letter with a small smile, and I came to find it legit. It was mother's handwriting and signed it like she normally would. The letter stated how she knew she was going to pass and how she wanted her children to be there for one another. As we proceeded to get to know one another though-out the day. As we said goodnight, I got him set up on the living room couch on as Scott and I went to bed, but as we laid down, he couldn't stop looking in the hall into the darkness. 

"Paranoid?"

"Paranoid?" 

He got up quickly and shut the door, turning to me. 

"What's wrong?" 
"Why would your mother keep Luke a secret? And why put him up for adoption? Did you even know she was pregnant?" 
"He's only a few years younger- I personally wouldn't remember honestly." 
"I just don't feel like things are adding up Lillith." A he slid back into bed. 

"Don't be like that, we do look alike." 
"I do however believe that he is your brother, but why all of a sudden is he showing up?" 

I froze in silence for a second before a thought came to mind. "What about that dark haired girl? Have you found out what you were needing to so I can know what you know?" 

"Unfortunately, not yet." 
"How come you will not tell me? What type of secret is this?" 
"I don't want you to know until I have all the information that I need to answer your questions correctly" 
"Okay..." 

Personally, I was really upset that Scott was keeping his secrets, though I couldn't be too angry honestly. I know he's doing this out of protection I just wish I knew why. As I went to sleep, I once again felt like I knew him as a stranger. Once again, a feeling roller coaster. I knew him at least before Luke showed up. I was filled with a since of doubt once more. Just now stakes were high and the relationship I wanted for such a long time I have obtained, but in any blink of an eye every single thing could change I was nothing more than helpless to just sit back and see how it goes.
