TRIPLE THREAT: THE INEVITABLE

24. A NEW REVEAL

REMI

"Robyn.. its exactly what it looks like. Beverly is your half sister." Dad says. My jaw is hanging down so low, it hit the floor.

"How?" I ask, stepping into the room. I eye Chaz suspiciously. I know these two aren't talking again and she has the audacity to talk about Travis and I? What a hypocrite.

Dad sighs and takes a seat on the plush leather office chair. Robyn is standing and I can't help but notice her new hair do. I wonder how she did it, she loves her hair. There's no way she must have cut it. It's probably a sew-in.

"You didn't cut your hair did you?" I narrow my eyes at her and feel her hair. It's no sew-in which means true. What's gotten into her? Did she bump her head? I mean it looks good on her, it really does but this is so unlike Robyn.

"What's your theory on it?" Gotta love her sarcasm.

I chuckle. "I like it. It's different for you but it fits you."

She squeezes my cheeks. "Thanks honey buns." I roll my eyes and swat her hand away. I hate when she does that. And I'm not in her favor from yesterday. I didn't forget how crazy she went on me. Yes, it was partially my fault but still, pulling me up by my shirt up against the wall was so uncalled for. Robyn's mood can switch up so quickly that it might scare you. One minute she's this furious, wild and devious but the next minute, she's the most caring person you have ever known.

Chaz and I take a seat on the recliner, waiting for my dad to explain.

I'm literally on edge right now. Dad rubs his chin and clears his throat. "During our marriage, your mother had an affair. I was caught up in the streets, there were times I didn't come home. She got lonely and got with Gary. He impregnated her and then there was Beverly. She used to come over the house a few times, I'm not sure if you remember, Robyn. Remi you weren't born yet,"

"Beverly and Reyna are five months apart. Gary thought she felt out of place our family so the visits were cut short."

We all just glare at him, not saying a word at the news we just received all of us. I don't believe it at all. She looks nothing like us. She only resembles her father and even her mother.. well step-mother. I have no words for this. All of the spying my father did, he couldn't tell us sooner?

Until Chaz, the returning ex-boyfriend speaks up. "So she has to be linked to all of this. She was the closest to Reyna, it was easy for Beverly to manipulate her." All our heads snaps towards Chaz. Who does he think he is now? What, did Robyn just forget about what he put her and our family through? Even though his boss is sitting in the same room.

"Why haven't you said anything before? I've given you so many chances and you still lied when I asked you-"

My dad puts up a hand, cutting Robyn off. "I left that part out specifically because your mother asked me to. She didn't want you guys to be affected by it."

She scoffs. "And look where that got us."

"So... do we have a plan? What are we going to do?" I ask.

"I know exactly what to do." Robyn has a cynical look to her eyes which means she's willing to do anything to get her way and take everybody down with her while she's at it.

"Robyn, you can't do this alone." My dad sits up in his chair. Chaz agrees to help as long as Robyn is okay with it. Of course she is. These two used to be unstoppable before all the stuff with my dad came down. Everyone around here knows them. Her popularity was always something I was jealous of.

Brittany pokes her head in the office with a smile plastered on her pretty face. "Anyone hungry? I cooked a little something for y'all."

I perk up. "Yes, yes I am."

Robyn swats me in the arm. "Fat ass." We laugh and exit the room for Brittany's fabulous southern cooking.

She makes us all big plates of food. I thought it was lunch. This is more like dinner to me; but I don't mind of course. We all pile in the living room. I notice my dad sneaking glances over where Robyn and Chaz are sitting. He's thinking exactly what I'm thinking. They look a little too comfortable.

After we eat, Robyn and Chaz are getting ready to leave when I catch up with her. Chaz is speaking to my father so she's just waiting in the car. I hop in the passenger's seat.

"What was that? You two back together?"

"Hell no."

I give her an 'I don't believe you' look. "I couldn't tell. You two were up under each other back there."

She sighs deeply. "We're not together and never will be. He just wouldn't leave me alone which scares me because I still love him. What if I fall back in love with him? I can't trust him. I'm not even sure if I should let him get involved with Reyna's case." This is the most Robyn has ever shared regarding her relationship with Chaz. I feel for her, I do.

"It's okay. I know you want to forgive him and move on. I also know that there's a possibility you two might get back together. Once you forgive him, it'll be harder to resist the love you two have for each other. He was your first real love."

She chuckles. "Funny how my baby sister is giving me advice on relationships."

I laugh. "But Robyn, can we talk about Travis?" She stiffens. I know she hates the fact that I'm seeing him, let alone talk to him. "I really like him, I do. He warned me about going to the detention center, I had to force him to drive me up there. I only went there so I can talk to Audrey, I want to forgive her and move on like you're trying to do with Chaz. I just want you to accept it."

She turns to me with glossy eyes. I swallow. I didn't mean to put more pressure on her with this. "I'm sorry, Robyn. I jus-"

"It's just that you're so young. You're almost sixteen and I know this is the age where you start getting interested in boys but I don't want you to get hurt by any of the little fuck boys. I don't want to have to wallow with you and eat tubes of ice cream when you experience your first heart break."

We both laugh. "I know and that's why I love you. I promise I'll look out for myself. I want you to trust me to make good decision. I'm growing up but I'm not stupid, Roby." She gives me a nasty scowl for addressing her by her old nickname.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to ask you why were you at the detention center?"

She shrugs. "King's in jail. Got caught with drugs in his car. Not sure who planted it."

"And how is that going?"

"I don't know. He might do seven years in the pen but why do I care?" I raise a suspicious eyebrow at her. She tells me that's a another story for another day. I know she's never going to tell me anything, her opening up to me about Chaz is as far as she will go.

Chaz is walking up to the car and I tell Robyn I'll talk to her later then hug her tightly.

"She's all yours now." I say to Chaz. He winks and tells me he plans on making her his very soon even if he has to jump through Robyn's nearly impossible obstacles.
