I INSTANTLY grew pale. "W-what?"
Two-bit covered his face with his hands, he was speechless as well. I stared at him in awe and I felt hot tears streaming down my face. My wails filled the small living room as Two-bit attempted to pull me in a hug when I immediately stood up.
"Leave me alone! I don't need your dumb pity." I hissed and ran upstairs. I slammed the door and sank to the floor.
As much as I hated to say it, it all made sense. I always wondered why I didn't have grey eyes or strawberry-blonde hair, but I never questioned it. I never felt like an outsider, but now I did.
I wiped away my tears and crawled in my bed and simply stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours until Two-bit knocked on the door before coming in.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and deeply sighed. We were quiet for a few minutes while he played with his hands.
"Why?"
He looked up and arched his eyebrow.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered.
"I-It's not in my place to explain. When mom comes home, you ask her." He sniffed. "Look, I have to go somewhere, and I promise that I'm not going to Zachary. Just stay here and please take care of yourself, alright?"
I didn't answer. He kissed my forehead and left, leaving me drowning in my thoughts.
I eventually forced myself to get out of bed to go eat and do my homework, but I found myself waiting on the couch instead. My heart began to beat harder when the sound of keys fumbling was heard.
The door opened and my mom looked surprised to see me there. "Nina? What are you doing staying up this late at night?"
I continued to stare at her as I tried to keep my tears in. "I know."
"Know? Know what?"
"That you've kept a secret from me for 16 years, mom. 16 damn years..." I shook my head as tears fell down to my lap.
"Honey, I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Bullshit!" I spat. Mom looked shocked to have heard me say such a word, but I didn't care. "I know we aren't related! Just please tell me why, I need to know why."
