•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I woke up in a bed. The lights where bright and glaring in my face like I was being interrogated. I turned to my left and saw Oli and my mum next to me.

"Where am I?" I sat up slowly and rubbed my eyes. My mum just smiled and rested an arm on my shoulder. I still remembered what she had said. I still remembered I was adopted. Just the word 'adopted' made me want to cry. I really wanted to know my real family. I wanted to know my past. I had no memory of it.

My mum (who wasn't my mum) walked out of the room and I heard her talking to a doctor. Very soon after she came back smiling. "We can all go home now and get some rest." She helped my out of bed and walked me to the car. I was still a little light headed from fainting.

I sat in the back of the car with Oli. He put his arm around me and mumbled in my ear "I'm still a brother to you no mater what," this made me relax a little but I was still as stiff as a board knowing that a Oli was not my brother.

We got home pretty promptly and I went up to the bath room. I looked at my self in the mirror over the sink. I splashed water in my face not believing my whole life had been a great big lie.

What was the point anymore. My mum wasn't my mum, my brother wasn't me brother and my real family are either dead or abandoned me. I rested my head against the wall tears rushing down my face. Then a shiny object caught my eye. It looked sharp. Able to cut. A thought rushing through my head. I tried to stop it. I tried to pull away. I couldn't. It was to strong.

I took the blade against my wrist and slit... I felt no pain so I went again. Cutting deeper now, not caring anymore. I felt better for a while but then it came back so I continued cutting.

The blade was pulled out of my hand and it fell to the ground "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" It was Oli. He had taken the blade away from me and pinned me against the wall in what seemed like anger.

I slid down the wall and put my head in my blood covered hands. Oli rushed to get a bandage and threw it quickly round my wrist that was now dripping blood all over the floor. I let out a small yelp as it had started to hurt now.

"I can't believe you would do this, I still love you the same and so does mum, you just know the truth now!"
"In sorry. It's just came over me. I don't know..." My words didn't seen to make sense.

Before I knew it Oli was walking me over to the sofa and I was resting my head on him. I thought to myself.

He is my brother...
