Darkbird : Justine Todd's Beginning

Chapter 12:Answers

Chapter 12

She felt his arms around her in a hug of all things. Her mind was racing and for a moment She was confused. "I'm sorry j....im sorry I didn't tell you sooner"Jason said to her as he knelt in front of her pulling her into a hug. Justine had found it weird having not having such contact before and yet somehow it was comforting to the teen.

Then a sudden bit of anger flared through her"then why didn't you!"She said but her green gaze met his and her anger seemed to deflate as soon as it had appeared."You didn't want me to know for a reason but why....was the whole thing with the other supposed mother just an act...or..."She fell quiet. She could see the hurt in his eyes as she mentioned the one she had thought was her mother this whole time. "No...she was real and I loved her deeply J. She was pregnant yes but with your half sibling. I am sorry for not telling you sooner or acting as I did but...I'm not too good with expressing how I feel except anger....and I am trying to do better then that"He said which left her in a bit of silence.
