Ch. 11
The Truth Revealed
I stare at the photo and I look about 11 in the picture and Alex looks like he is 13 or 14 years old. I look at it really closely, he has all of Alex’s features. The dark hair, pale skin, and very ice blue eyes, just like me.
“Knock, knock.” a voice said.
I turn around holding the picture behind my back. “Come in.” I say.
Jared walks in. “Hey.” he said. “Watcha up to this time?”
“Oh nothing just looking at my clothes and stuff.” I say.
“What’s behind your back?” he asks and looks behind my back but I move with him turning.
“Nothing.” I say. “Just a picture.”
“Oh, well then if it’s just a picture can I see it?” he asks.
“No!” I say. “It’s mine.” I joke.
“Come on, I won’t show anyone or tell anyone.” he begs.
“Fine, here, but promise you won’t say anything. Ok?, promise” I say.
“Yah, yah.” he said.
And I trust him because I think he likes me and I like him so.
“Who is that?” he asks, and points to the one that looks like Alex. “That looks like....”
“Alex.” I interrupt. “I know, plus he looks like me, the pale skin, dark hair, and ice blue eyes. He told me that 3B had jeans in them but when I went to look this picture was in there instead. Hey i’m going to go call Abby from school.”
“Ok, but don’t tell her where you are, because we don’t need people trying to track you or us down.” he said.
“Ok.” I say annoyed.
Jared left the room and I called Abby. I dialed her number.
“Hello?” she said.
“Hey, Abby its’s Alice from lunch.”
“Oh hey what’s up?”
Oh, nothing much.” but that’s not true.
“Where have you been?, you haven’t been to school in a long time.”
“Well, ya know, out of town.”
“Oh cool.”
“Hey sorry but I got to go.”
“Oh kk, i’ll call you some other time”
“Kk, bye” I say.
“Bye.”
Then, I received a text from her saying “Why are you in the Caribbean Islands?”
Vacation I replied.
Oh, so that’s were I am.
Alex was apparently in the room when I hung up the phone.
“Who was that on the phone?” He asked.
“I’m the one who should be asking the questions.” I say.
“Who was that?!” he demanded.
“A girl from school, Abby.” I say. “Why did you lie about 3B and why are you in that picture?” I ask.
“The girl Abby what did she want. Did she say anything strange?” he asks.
“Uh, well I guess she tracked my phone and wait WHY ARE WE IN THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS?!?!?!” I ask.
“Uh well so know one can track you, that’s why we have a policy of no cell phones that can track.” he said.
“Ok?,” I say, “Why were in that picture with my family?” I ask.
“The truth revealed” He says and gulps, “I’m your brother.”
