Hold On Tight

Chapter 22

I let go of my brother and I can't lie maybe a tear or two Fell from my face but can you really blame me.

"I thought you were dead man." I said giving him another hug.

"What? I thought you were dead bro." He said sounding a bit confused.

We looked at our parents. I was happy to see my supposedly dead brother. But I was more confused than pissed about why would they lie to both of us. I brought My brother to the table and motioned my dad to follow.

"We'll it's been awhile since all were sitting together like this." My brother said trying to make a little joke I guess. But I didn't want to try to bright things up I wanted to know why they hid us from each other.

"Why did you lie to me about Mark Mom? " I asked her a bit hurt that she out of all people would lie to me.

"And Dad why did you lie to me about Troy?"

They both looked at each other before opening their mouth.

"Listen we didn't do it to hurt you guys I promise." Dad said sounding like he really means it.

"Then why would you keep us away from each other." I rose my voice a bit.

"Sweetie please calm down." Mom said rubbing my shoulder. I pulled away from her.

"How do you aspect Me not to be mad Mom? You took me away from my brother for eleven years." I snapped angrily I never raised my voice at my mom before. When our eyes connected I seen the hurt and the pain she was trying to hold in. My heart hurts for making my mom feel like this.

"Tell us why you hid us from each other." I continued to say.

"Do you remember when we got into that car accident? " Dad asked us both.

When were younger we was in a serious car accident. The car flipped several times. I can't really remember how much damage it really was because I blacked out. When I woke I was in a hospital. My Mom and dad was there and they told me my brother didn't make it.

"Yeah what about it? " Mark questioned.

"You both had memory lost and terrible panic attacks afterwards. The doctor told us you two weren't going to make it."

"But we did make it we're here right now." I said looking at my brother then back at him.

"Yeah I know it was a miracle from god. Me and your Mom wasn't having good times after the accident. So we decided to split up."

"Because you cheated on her." I said not showing any remorse from him.

"I made a mistake son and It still hurt me till This day."

"When we got a divorce you two were still in the hospital. We decided to take one of you with us. He took Mark and I took you." Mom said looking at me and Mark.

"Me and your Dad lost connection and I really thought Mark passed." My Mom said she sounded honest and I Believed her.

"So when you found out I wasn't why didn't you tell Troy? " Mark asked waiting for her response.

"Well I wanted to but I didn't want him to start having panic attacks or anything."

"Same for you Mark." Dad said.

"You should of told us about each other." I said and Mark agreed.

"We should have we didn't have any right to keep you guys away and we're sorry." Dad said and Mom was right along with him.

"Well we can't do anything about it now but make up lost time." I said looking at Mark and he nodded his head in agreement.

After a while we just talked together and I was actually pretty good. I found out Mark played sports and my dad remarried. But though the laughs and great conversations I felt like they still were hiding something.

"Mom and dad There's nothing else you're hiding from us right?"

It was quite for a while before they spoke up I knew something was up.

"Yes there is a thing we missed out." My mom said facing my dad.

"God dammit what is it this time? " Mark questioned aggravated.

"Calm down Mark." Dad said.

"You guys don't even seem to remember." he continued.

"Mom what is it?" I asked calmly looking her in the eye.

"Doing the car accident there was someone else in the car with us." She said grabbing my hand.

"Who Mom do we have another sibling out there somewhere? "

"Your sister was in the car with us."

"Sister? We have a sister?" Mark asked he sounded a bit excited. I can't lie and say I wasn't excited either I kinda always wanted a sister.

"Okay where is she?" I asked I wasn't angry I just wanted to meet her. I didn't care if she was older or younger hopefully younger. Because Mark was only a year younger than me.

My Mom didn't say anything neither did my dad.

"What's wrong Mom?" I asked and Mark asked dad the same thing.

"Your sister didn't make it. She died in the car accident." She said wiping a tear away.

Silence entered the room. My brother and I just looked at each other. I kinda do feel bad for not remembering her. A few hours pasted my brother decided to stay with me tonight and my dad told us he was getting a hotel room somewhere not to far. I get to make up some time with my brother finally. I showed him my room and then I got a text from Emily.

"Bro was that Dad?" He asked before taking a seat on my bed.

"No It was Emily." I said showing him text.

"Bro I didn't know you knew Emily."

"Yeah how do you know her?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Emily that's my girl bro."
