Nolan's POV
"Nolan?" Meghan asked, stunned.
"Yeah?"
Meghan's eyes were wide and confused.
"Is she okay?" I asked Dean.
But as I looked at Dean, he also looked stunned and confused.
"Guys?"
"Nolan this is going to sound crazy but, we just saw you, with blue hair, and you were peeking into the apartment. Then all of sudden, you ran away" Meghan said.
"And then we came in and there you are, getting out of the shower with pink hair"
"He found me" I whispered.
"What?"
I gulped.
"Nathaniel. He found me" I mumbled.
"Nathaniel?"
I stayed silent.
I couldn't tell them, about Nathaniel. Because then I would have to tell them everything.
"Nolan??" Meghan pleaded, "Who is Nathaniel? And what do you mean when you said 'he found you'?"
I sighed.
"Nathaniel is my twin brother"
"Twin brother?"
"He wasn't always bad. He was a quiet kid. But, my older brother influenced the worst in him"
"Who's your older brother?" Dean asked.
I nervously rubbed my neck.
"Nolan" Meghan said, "You can tell us. We're your friends"
I took a deep breath in.
"Adam"
"The same Adam who put us all through hell and killed Bobby!?" Dean jumped up.
I shamefully nodded and continued my story, "Nathaniel and I were best friends, until we were about five years old, and he started following Adam around like a little puppy. That's when they started to make my life a living hell. They used to push me around like I was absolutely nothing to them. Mom had to intervene when they did pick on me. But that didn't stop them. So I would usually stay by mom, to keep from getting the shit beat out of me. But I loved hanging out with my mom. We took turns either cleaning the house or tending to my three year old, little sister. Jaiden"
"Wait what!?" Meghan exclaimed, "Jaiden's your sister?!"
"Hold up! How many plot twist are in this story because I can only take so much" Dean joked.
"Shut up Dean" Meghan rolled her eyes.
"Both of you shut up!" I snapped, "Jaiden and I were really close. I would walk her to and from preschool, on my way to and from elementary school. I also took her to the park everyday to get away from my assholes of brothers. The times spent with my mother and Jaiden, were the only things that kept me going"
"Until one day, I went to go pick up Jaiden from preschool, little did I know, someone had already picked her up. I ran home in excitement, thinking my mom came home early. But when I came home, she was no where in sight. I remember hearing a ear bleeding shriek coming from upstairs. So, I went to investigate. I was terrified to see that the screams were coming from Jaiden as Adam was senselessly beating her. I immediately became overwhelmed with anger and threw myself at Adam. With all of my force, my fists were flying through the air hitting anything and everything in my way. Although it made no impact. Adam was both older and stronger. He pushed me aside and continued to hit her. Then he knocked her in the head, with his fist. She then became unconscious. In order to save my sister, I ran as fast as I could and called the police. I remember being in full on tears, because of seeing my little sister in such a terrible state. I knew the police weren't going to get there for a while. Luckily my mom got back a few minutes before the police did. I told her about everything I saw and she too was both angry and devastated about Jaiden. And out of total frustration and impulse she back handed Adam. Mom was never the type to hit us, even when we really fucked up. As soon as she did, the police came in. They saw her hit Adam and Jaiden's unconscious body in my arms, and they immediately thought the worst. Then Adam took this as an opportunity to get rid of our mom. He put on a helpless little kid act and told the police fake stories about our mom abusing us. Before I could even defend her, Nathaniel added on to the web of lies Adam told the police. And without even listening to me screaming at them, telling them that everything they said was a lie, they took Jaiden into an ambulance and my mom into the back of a police car"
I began to tear up.
"That was the last time I saw her"
"I'm so sorry, Nolan!" Meghan hugged me.
I let go and continued on my story.
"Jaiden was in the hospital for a few days after that with no memory of what happened"
"So, that wasn't the first time she had amnesia?" Meghan asked.
"No" I answered.
"After the police took my mom away, we were forced to go live with my grandma. But, I hated Jaiden being in the same house as Adam and Nathaniel. So I called one of my uncle's and got both me and Jaiden out of town"
"How old were you?" Dean asked.
"Seven" I answered bluntly.
"Holy shit!"
"I went through a lot of shit when I was that age" I laughed.
"I got my uncle Derek to bring me and Jaiden to a small town on the border of Canada and America. Fort Frances Ontario. There Jaiden and I would be miles and miles away from the psycho paths, Adam and Nathaniel. I didn't just want Jaiden to be safe, although it was a major factor as to why we ran away, I also wanted her to have her best chance. And being burdened by all the things that happened in our past wasn't going to help her with that, it was only going to drag her back. So, for Jaiden's sake uncle Derek and I put her in an adoption home so that hopefully a couple could adopt her and give her a great opportunity for her to have a good life"
"I always kept an eye out for her. I even joined her grade 8 class and graduated with all of you guys. I'm surprised none of you remember me"
"Nolan you didn't graduate with us... did you?"
"You guys weren't really friends with me"
"Oh my God you did!" Meghan had a moment of realization.
"But how did Adam and Nathaniel find you?" Dean asked.
"First Nathaniel found me in Fort Frances. He made me admit to a crime he committed. He said that if I didn't he would go after Jaiden. And even after I did take the blame for Nathaniel's crime, he and Adam both made life hell for you guys"
"Until I shot him" Meghan mumbled.
"I praise you for that Meghan" I said, "Even if he was blood, Adam was no brother to me"
"What's going on guys?" Rianna and Logan walked in the door.
Meghan, Dean and I looked at eachother.
"What?" Rianna asked.
"We have something to tell you" Meghan explained.
"All of you" I added.
