Chapter 7.

(A/N: this chapter is going to be GOOD! also a lot of POV changes so...yeah..ENJOYSS!)

-Edward's POV-

"Let's get started." Harry said.

For some reason I had this feeling...in the pit my stomach. Like, I knew something big was about to happen. It's weird, I can't really explain, but it's just...strange.

-Marcel's POV-

"Let's get started." Harry said awkwardly.

I had gathered all the websites and list of books we could use for the project beforehand. Hey, that's just me. I always think ahead and get everything settled, or try to. If that even makes sense.

"I-I have the list of w-websites we can use f-for the a-assignment..." I say. I honestly hate myself; well my stuttering. It's embarrassing.

"Alright then. We'll each use a different website. I'll use my laptop. Edward you can use our extra. Marcel you can use yours." Harry instructed.

We all got on our laptops. I went to the website and searched my name.

'Marcel Styles. Son of Anne Cox and Des Styles.' Okay? I continued. 'Brother of...Gemma Styles...Edward Styles and Harold Styles...'

What the..? This must be a mistake...

-Harry's POV-

I got to the website and search my first and last name.

'Harold Styles. Son of Des Styles and Anne Cox.'

My mother's name is Anne? Woah.

'Brother of Gemma Styles...Edward Styles...and Marcel Styles...'

What the fuck? This can't be real... This is impossible!

"Uhm...Are you seeing what I'm seeing..." Edward speaks up first.

My eyes are widened and I'm frozen. This is literally...insane.

"We're...b-brothers..." Marcel speaks timidly.

"...We're triplets..." I say.

"But how?" Edward says. "I'm a fucking orphan...Marcel's living with his mum and you? You have you father and sister..."

Just then it came to me. I've never met my mum. Marcel has never met his dad. And Edward is an orphan. It makes sense. Kind of.

"Wait..." Edward says, probably realizing what I just did.

"But this is just so damn crazy! I need an explanation! Something!" Edward yells.

"Shhhh! My dad is upst- Wait...my dad is upstairs! He'll explain!" I say

We walk to his office; without knocking. He was pacing back and forth. Like he knew we were going to find out...

"Dad..?"I question.

He stopped, startled. "Y-yes?"

"We...we know...about...us." I am honestly anxious. I too need answers.

He sighs and pats his couch for us to sit.

"Well boys, I guess it's time. Secret is out..." He looks at us in sorrow and hope.

"And I'm guessing you want answers. Right?" My father asks.

We each nod our heads.

"Well...When you were babies, your mum and I could not afford anything. Anything. We fought a lot, and I mean a lot...One day I just couldn't take it. I wanted a divorce. But, we had no money in our savings. We couldn't afford to raise you all together. So split up. I'd get Gemma and Harry. She'd get Marcel...and then...we'd gave Edward up for adoption...that was probably the har-" My father was interrupted.

"Do you know what I went through most of my life!? I had nobody! NOBODY! I'd get abused by my foster parents! Going to school with a black eye or busted lip! Getting funny looks everywhere I went!" Edward yelled. "My life was hell..." He whispered. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked at the floor.

Marcel just sat there, in shock. He had been crying also. I was on the verge of it too. I felt horrible. Not for myself, but for Edward.

"E-Edward...I'm so sorry. I truly am! I want you to know I never wanted to separate you all. I didn't want to let you go! But your mother and I just couldn't afford anything at the time..." My father's voice was full of pain and sorrow. I knew he was sorry.

Edward just shrugged and wiped his tears. "You know what, sometimes sorry isn't good enough..." And with that, he got up and ran out of the room.

"Edward! Edward, please!" My father followed him out.

-Edward's POV-

"Edward! Edward, please!" I heard a voice in the distance. It was Des.

My hand was on the door ready to walk out. But something made me stop myself...

This was all too much. I found out I actually have a family...

I slowly turned around.

"What." I say coldly.

"I know it won't help any, but I really am truly sorry." Des answered.

"I know. But it's going to take a lot more than an 'I'm sorry' bit." I start walking outside.

"Edward Stop!" I kept walking.

"Please! Let me explain more!" Still walking.

"I'll...I'll adopt you..." What?

I stop and start walking back.

"You'll what? Adopt me? You're crazy! You think you can just do that?" I yell, not really sure how to respond.

"Yes. I'm going to adopt you."

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

HELLO. I'm soooo sorry for the long wait! I've just been busy with school stuff! U G H school. I started on the 14th!

SORRY FOR ERRORS.
