Chapter 3 :
I made my way to the garden and saw my grandma crying. I don't know but everytime I see some old woman/man crying, it break my heart, and then I saw him.
"Grandpa?" I asked in a hushed tone. They turn their gaze at me and I noticed that there is some guy beside my grandpa, probably my mother's age.
"Jenny? Is that you?" Granpa said and run to hug me. I gladly return the hug too. I really miss my grandpa, it's been a long time that we haven't seen each other.
"I miss you Granpa." I said and sob. I'm such a crybaby.
"I miss you too Jen" he said and kiss me on the top of my head.
"E-err, Grandpa? Not to be rude but who is he?" I said and point at the stranger.
"He's your uncle Ben." he said
"Your nephew?"
"No, my son."
"Your s-son? I thought mom is the only child?"
"I've kept him from all of you because I don't want your mother to feel unloved if she have a sibling. And he's your mother's half-brother to be exact. He's my son." grandpa said. This time, I saw Courtney and Elizabeth on the door, obviously eavesdropping.
I nodded and excused myself. I went outside the house and I don't know why. I've decided to take a stroll at the park. I sat on the swing and absorbing all the happenings.
First, my parents got separated. Second, my grandpa arrived. Third, I have an uncle.
"Excuse me?" a masculine voice from behind snapped me out of my thoughts.
I turned around and saw a boy with an ice cream and a bright smile on his face. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Ice cream?" he offered.
"I don't take ice cream from strangers." i snapped at him.
"Easy there. It just seems that you're problematic. It's written all over your face." he said while I roll my eyes at him. I quickly stand up and went home.
"Where did you go?" Elizabeth asked, the moment I entered the house.
"Park."I dryly said and went straight to my room. I'm not in the mood to talk. I lie on my bed and moments after I felt that my eyelids is getting heavy and I let the darkness took over me.

I hear a knock on the door, waking me up from my little rest.
"Jen, dinners ready." I hear Courtney's voice from outside. So I was asleep that long? I look at the window and saw that it was already dark.
"Yeah, coming!" I yelled and fixed myself. I headed downstairs and saw my Grandparents, the twins and My uncle Ben.
"Hey sweetie." My Grandma said and kissed me on my cheeks.
"Hi Granny." I smiled at her and to everyone.
We ate in silence until Uncle Ben broke it.
"So, I have heard a lot about you Jenny. Dad talks about you, especially to my children."
"You have children?" I asked
"Yes." he said. Okay, so I'm not the only grandchild. I frown but quickly replaced it with a fake smile.
"Cool."
"My kids really want to see you but I told them not now , but sooner." he said and I nod in return.
After we ate, my cousins invited me to have a movie marathon, I agreed and made our way to the living room.
We watch Carrie, Frozen, Safe Haven. After that three movies, we decided to chit chat and catch up with our own lives.
"Jen, hows your lovelife?" the twins asked in unison.
"Boring."
"Oooh! Come on Jen. You have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah. 27th boyfriend."
"Cool."
"You?"
"Haha, Courtney has 18 boyfriends and I have 19." Elizabeth exclaimed, making me laugh.
"And there's this one time that --" Elizabeth was about to continue when Courtney cut her off.
"Oh! Shut up!" Courtney groaned
"When I have a nerd admirer and that guy mistakenly kissed Courtney coz he was assuming that Courtney is me. That was really hilarious." Eliz continue, laughing hard.
We we're laughing hard and I saw Courtney got red, not because she was embarassed but because she was angry..
After a few more chitchats, we bid goodnights and went to sleep.
