I've Got a Date with Mr Not So Average and His Three Best Friends

Chapter Two - Did I mention I have a Long Lost brother ?

CHAPTER TWO – and oh did I forget to mention I have a brother?

“Hello, I’m homeee” I yelled when I walked into the house.

I waved to Rosia, my nanny. My parents traveled a lot and she’s the one who always took care of me. She smiled sympathetically at me. Im an only child, it gets lonely something but I don’t think I would trade it for the world. I’m not going to deny that my family is kind of well-off. I try to keep that from people though.

“We’re in here” My dad yelled from the living room.

I walked in to see my mom’s eyes red and my dad whispering something to her.

“Sylvia, sit down, we need to tell you something before we leave to go to New York”

  “We’re going to New York ?”

  “We are, you will stay here”

 “You guys are leaving, again ?! You just got back three days agao I haven’t seen you in a month”

“We’ll get to that sweetie, just hold on”

“okay”

“well, I, I” My dad stuttered.

Now I knew this was something big. My dad never stutters, he owns a major label company, he’s the most confident person I know. My looked at me and smiled sadly and put her hand of my dad shoulder.

“I’ll tell her, honey” she quietly said to my dad.

Were we moving or something ?

“ Mom, Dad, you’re scaring me. Whats going on ?”

“ Honey, you have a brother and we’re going to New York for a year. You will have to stay with him in    for the year, We’re sorry but you have to pack your bags. Your cab comes in two hours.” My mom rambled.

“ wait. What ? You’re kidding, right ? aha, you got me.”

I looked at their serious faces, and tears clouded my vision.

“ WHAT ! FIRST OF ALL I HAVE A BROTHER ? YOU’RE LEAVING FOR A YEAR? AND I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GO LIVE WITH A STRANGER WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY MY BROTHER ??????!” I screamed.

Tears threathened to fall but I wiped them away.

“ Honey, I know you’re mad but”

“ But what dad ? when were you gunna tell me?!!”

“ Okay, just listen to us young lady! We are trying to explain”

“Fine,try to explain”

My dad shifted in his seat and my mom wiped tears out of her eyes. I knew I was making them worried and I felt bad but seriously? Telling me I have a brother that I didn’t know about for the last 17 years and them leaving me for a year and also telling me that I have to live with my brother that I didn’t know I even had let alone existed for a year at 1 in the morning really doesn’t help the situation. I tried to calm myself down.

“ Okay, well. When me and your mother had your brother Chase”

I cut him off.

“Chase ? That’s his name ?”

I couldn’t deny that it was pretty cool having a brother. I smiled at the thought.

 “Yes, Chase. Now could you please not interrupt? You are the one who wanted this explained” my mom said.

I nodded and my dad continued the story.

“ As I was saying, when we had your brother your mom and I weren’t in the best financial state, but we were still good. Then a year later we had you. When you were about a week old, we knew that we couldn’t afford taking care of you both and we wanted you both to have a good childhood without having to worry about money. So we put Chase up for adoption. We hid it from you because we didn’t want to complicate your life. We loved you both so much. We didn’t give him away because we wanted to, it’s because we had to.”

My dad stopped and wiped tears away and smiled. My mom continued for him.

“We found a really good family for him and he adapted to them well, we hid all his pictures and tried to hide that he ever existed from you because we didn’t wan you to feel as of it was your fault because it isn’t. But when your dads label started getting big when you were about 7 we started looking for him again and just a year ago his adoptive mom called us and said that her husband had just died and she wanted us to come to the funeral. We went, remember that time we told you we were in Florida, we were actually in LA at the funeral. We saw Chase for the first time 16 years and we couldn’t help but tell him hi. His mom allowed us to tell him and he was just as surprised as you were. He’s excited to meet you and please don’t be angry, we are sorry.”

She stopped and my parents both looked at me with hopeful faces. I was still so mad but couldn’t let them see that.

So I replied with a simple “I’m not mad”

My mom and dad hugged me and told me they had to leave in order to make it to New York for one of their artists one year tour.

“ go pack your bags, we are really sorry, Rosia will help you pack, Bye sweetie” my mom and dad kissed me on the cheek and left.

“ AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I yelled and Rosia looked at me and smiled and told me she had already packed my bags and my cab would be here in 30 minutes to take me to the airport.

“Thanks, Rosia” I hugged her and went to call Sam.

I filled him in and he was silent for a few minutes.

“woah, that intense” he said

“Yeah, tell me about it”

“ You’re leaving for a year? I’ll miss you, Are you going to visit?”

My heart skipped a beat when he said I’ll miss you but I knew he was just being a friend.

“ I don’t know but I’ll call you when I get the chance, I gotta go. Bye dork”

“Bye, Loser, love you”

The line went dead and I whispered love you too.

The cab honked from outside and I took my bags and got in. I looked at the time and it said 2:00am.

What a great way to start off the New year I thought to myself as a tear fell down my cheek. The cab driver started the car and I waved to Rosia. I was on my way to L.A
