This Will Be (An Ever Lasting Love) - Natalie Cole.
Hello! I am so so so sorry that I didn't update yesterday like I was supposed to. I do have a good (ish) excuse. Ready to hear it?
Well, I live in England. And as some of you might know, we have snow. We never get snow. At least we don't where I live. So, of course, I go out and have fun with my friends. And so we're having fun and then one of my friends suggests a sleepover. Once again, of course, I'm going to agree to a sleepover, especially since I don't see some of my friends as much anymore. And yeah, I couldn't update because I was too busy messing around with my friends.
I'm going to say it again, I'm so sorry. Now enjoy the chapter!

They all stared at me in utter shock. Ren had her mouth open in disbelief, Cora's eyes kept darting between the picture and me whilst Xavier had a blank expression on his face.
"B—Brother ?" Ren stutters. She shakes her head and starts to fidget around. "No, no. You don't have a brother. You're an only child, I know because I've known you for a very long time."
She's hurt. I can tell by her rambling. She's trying to convince herself that she knows me and that I didn't keep a secret like this from her. If only it was true. Ren runs a hand through her blonde hair and releases a breath.
"Ren—
"No!" She shouts, cutting me off. "I've known you for a long, long time now. You can't keep a secret. You're awful at it! So this means you're lying. This is a joke. Where's your mom and the camera? Is this going on you've been framed or something? Because you owe me at least one—fifth of the money." She hysterically yells, rubbing her cheeks.
I want to go over to her and comfort her so badly but it wouldn't be right. I'm the reason she's acting like this, its my fault. I'm such a horrible friend. Literally, I'm the worst.
"Hey Ren, calm down." Cora steps in, placing her hand on her shoulder. I give her a thankful look.
"I'm so sorry," I mumble, looking down at my lap. "I—I just couldn't tell you."
I feel so ashamed. Best friends tell each other things, I didn't. I keep telling myself its to keep them safe but what if its just to make me feel better?
Xavier grabs onto my hand. That's the first thing he's done since I announced it. The first time he initiated contact since my revelation. I gaze up at him to see him giving me an encouraging look. It looks like he understands why I lied. My heart hammers loudly in my chest at that. Those sparks are making me feel things that I didn't think I could feel again.
"Anna, please tell us this is a joke." Ren pleads. She's known me the longest so that betrayal must hurt more for her.
"I'm not," I truthfully tell her. "I have a brother called Chris. You never knew about it because my parents told me not to tell you. In fact, they made sure nobody knows about him. We've kept it a secret for a long time now."
