Forbidden Love

Chapter 9

-Not edited-

Clair's POV:

_________

I went to my room after opening the gifts and got the best gift I got on my shelf above my make-up desk. The snow globe that Adam gave me was the best one of them all. I don't know how he knew what I really wanted. But as usual he's always my secret Santa Claus. Every year he surprise me with something I really wanted. But this time I had nothing specific in my mind.

I loved snow globes. Once grandpa gave me one on my birthday when I was five but then my stupid clumsy brother Matt, had to come and break it for me by accident. I cried a lot that night so that I started throwing up. I even didn't talk to Matt for a week since then.

I slowly placed the snow globe on the shelf and looking at it's adorable beauty. It had a small cute boy and a cute girl holding hands and wearing their coats and scarfs which made them more adorable then even. And on the snowy ground there were a heart and written 'LOVE' in it which was like so amazing. I literally cried from joy.

I sighed happily for having such a loving and caring brother. I can forgive him after all. It wasn't a big deal. Though i'm still secretly texting Ashton. Yea I know he'll freak out when he knows.

I went back down stairs where everyone was around the dinning table setting it up ready to eat.

We all sat and did our daily before-eating prayer.

After we were all done eating, mom got the cupcakes and muffin and Lucy helped with the ice-cream while Adam helped them get the fruit bowl.

They all sat down again and we started eating the sweets. I finished a cup cake and grabbed an apple.

Mom and dad were preparing themselves to tell us something. Like an announcement or something. But the most surprising is that it was for actually just Adam. Not all of us.

Mom stood behind dad as he sat eating his cupcake. He coughed and sat up straight and I watched as I ate my first bite of the apple.

"Adam. We need to tell you that you're not really our son. " Mom said sounding sat a little.

The apple literally dropped from my hand and made a sound on the table.

"What do you mean he's not really your son?!" I asked looking at mom then dad then mom again.

"That means ..well let me explain the whole story for you. "mom said.

We all nodded and I turned to Adam who was frozen and looked like he wasn't breathing, then looked back to mom.

"Well it was 17 years ago, on a christmas eve , when someone knocked on the door and I opened but no one stood there. But a baby, in a box, with a paper that said 'Keep me please. ' ..so I had no choice but to keep him. Which was you Adam. I had no choice. Your mother left you. I don't know why. But she just did."

The room was quiet and felt a little awkward. Like yea i felt sad for him. He was my brother ..Not. Wow that was so like .. Really surprising. I looked at him and he was frozen staring at nothing then he blinked a couple of times. Maybe trying to realize what just happened. I don't blame him though. He've been known as my brother since 17 years and now his mother telling him that she's not his real mother.

"S-so I'm not your real son?" Adam said in a whisper but everyone heard him. Dad shook his head slowly.

"Wow. Now that was awesome! Mom I'm your real son right?" Mom rolled her eyes at Matt's stupid comment. Then he faked a cry which cause everyone to roll his eyes at him. Except for Adam. Poor boy he looked like a random girl just told him she was pregnant with his baby and he's just trying to believe it.

"Sorry son. But we were waiting for the right time. " Mom said. Well yea they had to explain the difference in the hair and eyes color.

"We even decided not to tell you but then-" mom was interrupted by the door bell ringing.

Adam's POV:

__________

Saying I was shocked is an understatement. I was astonished. Like as if mom just threw a gallon of ice cold water on top of me.

As if those words she just said changed my entire life. I thought she was my mom. But turned out she was not. And my dad either?! Like whaaaatttttttt? And on the other side , Lucy, Matt and Clair aren't my siblings.

Wait. That means Clair isn't my sister. Which make me can date her. Right? No?

As a million thought came to my mind my mother continued.

"We even decided not to tell you but then-"She was cut off by the door bell. Well thanks for telling me , but I wanted to know why she wasnt able to keep it a secret from me. Maybe theres something .. Maybe not. But anyways today was full of surprises. Can my day get any better... Not?

I heard my mom talking to a what sounded like a lady, then she offered her in. They went to the living room and dad told us that we got visitors so we had to sit with them.

We entered the living room one by one. Lucy, Clair then me and a huffing Matt. He just seemed to love himself so much to accept visitors.

As we all sat on the couch, mom introduced us to the lady that sat next to her. She was in her thirties and she was small but was so elegant.

She was beautiful ,honestly. Her hair was blonde and it reache to her mid-back. She had two blue sharming eyes like mine that if you looked deep in them they would show you love. I felt like I've seen her before in my life but I couldn't tell where. She had a small smile that was so warming.

"Taylor meet my kids , Lucy, Clair," she jumped on to Matt. "Matt and Adam. " She said my name the last one. We all turned our nice to meet you and looked at mom who didn't know what to say next.

"Um.. kids ..that's Taylor. Uh Adam... That's um..your mom." ...
