Our Life With The Next Generation

Telling The Truth

Brynlee's POV

I was waiting on the couch for Scorpius to come down.

" Ready? " He asks when he FINALLY comes in.

" Yeah. But tell me.. Where are we going? " I ask.

" Just come on. " He says taking my hand and dragging me out the door.

*******

" A park?!? " I ask, looking around.

" What? I'm still a kid at heart. Don't judge. " Scorpius says putting his hands up.

" Already judging! " I smile and laugh while running over to the swings.

" Oh no you don't!! " He laughs running after me.

Before I could get to the swings Scorpius comes behind me, picks me up, and spins me around.

" Scorpius put me down!! " I laugh.

He sets me down and I turn around.

" Don't do that again! " I laugh, playfully hitting his shoulder. " It's not nice! "

" Owwww! " Scorpius fake cries.

" Oh boo hoo you big baby! " I giggle before running to the swings and sitting down.

" Bet I can swing higher than you! " Scorpius says swinging beside me.

" Nope! I'm the swinging champ! " I say popping the p.

I was pretty high but Scorpius kept catching up.

I was having so much fun with him.... I realized I HAD to tell him about Reya and Sam.

" Hey Scorpius? " I ask looking at him.

" Yeah Brynlee? " He asks.

" I... I need to... Umm... " I sigh. " Nevermind... "

I couldn't do this... It didn't feel right...

Was it right when Reya kissed your brother??

No...

Tell him!

No!

Tell him!

NO! Now shut up would ya? Oh great I'm talking to myself...

" Wanna head back? " Scorpius asks.

" Umm.. Yeah.. Harry should be starting dinner soon... " I say getting off the swing.

********

" This is really good Harry. " I say while eating.

" Thank you Brynlee. " Harry smiles.

I look over at Scorpius and Reya.

Then I look at Albus.

" Good? " He asks.

" Yeah... Yeah.. " I say.

It was KILLING ME! Not being able to tell Scorpius... I have to tell him... I have to...

I'm going to....

I looking at them smiling and laughing with each other.

" Scorpius!? " I ask quickly.

" Yes? " He asks.

Reya looks at me funny... Oh gosh...

" Reyakissedmybrother! " I say fast.

" What?! " Scorpius looks at me and Reya looks shocked.

" Reya... Kissed Sam.... " I say quietly.

Reya shakes her head and tears stream down her face. She looks at me before running off sobbing.

" I'm sorry... I'm SO sorry... I thought you should know... " I say to Scorpius before he runs after her.

I look at Lily who just sat there, her fork half-way to her mouth.

" You knew? " I ask.

" Yes... " She says softly.

" I can't believe she told you and not me! " I say, offended.

" Why? She doesn't have to tell you everything Brynlee!! " She yells.

I was shocked.

" I've known her my whole life. You haven't so stop Lily! You don't know her like I do. " I say before looking over at Ginny and Harry.

" I am SUPER sorry... I didn't mean to make such an awful impression on you two... I'm sorry.. " I whisper before running up to Lily's room.

" Bryn... " Albus follows me.

" Albus... I'm sorry... " I cry into his chest.

" Why? " He asks.

" I don't know... I mean... As long as I'm saying it... " I say.

I wrap my arms around his waist as he wraps his around me.

I cry and cry.

" She h-h-hates me A-Al-Albus. " I sob.

" No she doesn't Brynlee. You did the right thing by telling Scorpius. I don't think she would have... " He brings me closer to him.

" No... I don't think she will forgive me Albus... " I look up into his amazing green eyes.

" She loves you... And so do I... " He says before kissing me.

" I love you too.... " I whisper.

I hope Reya can forgive me.
