Secrets

Chapter 6

Evelyn's POV

"Guess who." A very familiar voice said. I took about a second to realize that it was Tristan. I took Tristan's hands off of my face and turned to see a grinning Tristan. "Tristan what are you doing here?" I asked a bit surprised that he was at the hospital. "I wouldn't want to have my best friend be bored to death." Tristan replied. "Yeah but how did you know I was here?" I asked. "You're brother called me and told me about your mom. Why didn't you tell me she was pregnant?" Tristan asked. "I didn't know either Tristan." I said in a slightly annoyed voice. "Oh." He replied back. We stood there for a few minutes. None of us saying anything. Then my father and brother came into view and I didn't dare look any of them in the eyes. I mean I was spying on them. "Hey kids. What are you guys up to?" My dad asked. "Oh nothing." I replied while looking everywhere but at my dad. He nodded and walked into the room that my mother and Jordan were in. I remained in my spot as my brother eyed me suspiciously. "Evelyn can I talk to you for a second? In private." Owen asked. As he said this he look at Tristan. They looked at each other as if they were having a conversation just by looking at each other.

After a moment of them staring at each other Tristan nodded and walked into the room. Once Tristan was gone Owen started talking. "Evelyn Do you know who that guy was at our house?" He asked with a serious expression. I shook my head and replied. "No I don't know who he was. Hence why I asked him." I said in a duh voice. "Okay. What about that other one at the McDonalds? Do you know him?" He asked. I sighed and took a deep breathe before answering "No I don't know him either all I know is his name." "What is his name?" Owen asked. "Wyatt. His name is Wyatt." Once I mentioned that name Owen got a little angry. "Okay I'm done asking questions. You can go now." Owen said. I walked into the room. My dad motioned me to come over to where he was sitting. I walked over to my dad to see what he wanted. "Why didn't you tell me that mom was pregnant?" I questioned my father. My mother was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her just to ask why they have been hiding this from me for 9 months. "You're mother never told me about this either." I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. "I doubt that mom wouldn't tell you this." I said annoyingly. He sighed and said "Well I guess we didn't have the time to tell you." I laughed at this. " Yeah but you had the time to TELL OWEN AND JORDAN?!?" I yelled. " We wanted to keep you and Jordan safe." He replied. At this point I was getting sick of my family keeping secrets and telling lies. I wanted the truth and I was going to figure out why my family was acting weird.

" Okay. You stay here with your mother and Jordan. Owen and I have to go to our meetings. Well be back as soon as possible." My father said while taking all our bags so he could get new clothes after staying at the hospital for two days already. I was supposed to stay at hospital with my mother, my younger brother and the newborn. As my father and my older brother left I went up to my mother. "So what are you going to call this new child of yours?" I asked her. " This child is a boy, and I'm not sure what to name him. I'm thinking maybe. Asher or Alexander. What do you think?" My mother asked me. "Um... I think I like Asher the most." I replied to the question. She nodded in agreement. I looked around the almost empty room and saw Jordan sleeping on the chair right next to the hospital bed. I walked out of the room to go to the bathroom when I remembered that I hadn't seen Tristan since Owen had sent him into the room. After that he was gone and I had no idea where he went. I decided to text him.
Evelyn: Hey Tristan. Where are you?
I just need to wait till he answers. I continued walking to the bathroom wondering what all those meetings were about and how I'll find out when the time is right.
