Day 13

Yesterday's news felt like a bomb which made a fifty feet deep hole in my mind. My mind was just blank of anything, any emotion. I hadn't said a word to Anna and Chris yet and I didn't know if I was honestly planning to.

Work was the same plain old work, nothing really entertaining.

So I was just cleaning around as usual trying to be as quick as possible to avoid either Chris or Anna.

So when I was done for the day at 11a.m, eating was the last thing on my mind at the moment and I couldn't go home to curl up in my bed and sleep to no end. I couldn't call Jai because he would want to know everything and I wasn't ready yet to tell my story. Even more now that I wasn't sure anymore about anything at all.

I was taken aback on the moment. Why would he want to talk to me about my dad, the only things he knew about him were what I told him.

" Wh-what abou-tt my da-dad ?"

" I knew him."

" How?"

" We were friends..back then."

How could he have kept that from me?

" Why-y didn't y-you tell-"

" Tell you ?

Simple, I would've constantly been a reminder of him if I told you earlier. I had to wait the right time."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, he looked so shameful yet, I could try to understand him.

But he wasn't only shameful, hurt was written all over his face.

" That's not it, isn't it ? "

He glanced downward looking so vulnerable, I couldn't bear to see him like this. I reached my hands on top of his, as to tell him everything was okay.

" Before you were born, your dad had a baby boy with an exgirlfriend, that he decided to give to an infertile couple."

" What about the ex girlfriend ? "

" She died in a car accident. One year after you dad met your mom and not so long after you were there."

I was beyond confused by all this, what was this supposed to do with me ?

He seemed to catch on my confusion because he began to explain my true story.

" Your dad named his first son Ian and he gave Ian to a couple named Christoph and Anna. They had a debt to your dad. This debt being paid back by taking care of you until you are twenty one. "
