                             Chloe's P.O.V.

     As soon as those words leave her mouth my mouth is gaped open.  I look at her wide eyed and then over to Shawn.  All he does is send me a small smile.  What the fuck is going on?

Me: What do you mean he is my brother?

Mom: Promise me that you'll just hear me out.

Me: Okay.

Mom: I was fourteen when I met your father.  Well one night, we went to a party and me and your dad had unprotected sex.  Nine months later I had Shawn.  I was only fifteen at the time and we were too young to have a kid so I gave him up for adoption.

Me: Why didn't you tell me!

Mom: I never thought that I would never seem him again.  Hunny you have to believe me.

Me: I just need some time.

Mom: Okay.

     I grab my crutches and I head upstairs.  I sit at my desk and I scroll through my phone.  I see Harry's number and my eyes start to water.  How could he have done that to me?  I thought he loved me.  I delete his number and I sit my phone down.  Images from early play through my mind and I start to bawl.  I need someone to talk to.

     I pick up my phone again and I hover over my dads number and I decide to send him a text.

Me: Hey its Chloe.

Dad: Oh my god...are you okay???  I heard what happened.

Me: Yeah I have a broken rib and my left leg is broken in three places.

Dad: I'm so sorry to hear that ChloeI hope you know that I'm sober now.

Me: ReallyThat's great!

Dad: Yeah I'm remarried and I have a twenty three year old step son named Luke.

Me: That's really coolI wish I get to meet them some time.

Dad: Me tooI got to goI'll text you later.

Me: Okay.

     I sit my phone down and I rub my forehead.  Why didn't my mom tell me he was sober?  God I just got home...this is way too much!!!  I get in my bed and I let out a deep breath.  Tomorrow will be a better day.
