Chapter 18

To say that the atmosphere was tense was an understatement of the century.

Everyone looked at Trey who sat with his head in his hands on the sofa like everyone else. No one had the nerve to ask the question that was bubbling at the surface 'cause just the fact that no one spoke made everyone on edge and quiet. Not a good combination for us.

"I know I should have told you guys." A weak whisper was finally heard and it came from the culprit himself.

"Damn right you should've. Why the hell did you hide something like that to us?" Axton raised his voice and Trey only scoffed in reply.

″To me' was probably what he meant'.

It was obvious that Axton felt left out even though we didn't know either, he was used to sharing everything with his partner so covering up something in that size probably made him feel forgotten.

"It's just that I was pissed okay. I was fucking furious that my," He paused. "Our, parents kept us from each other and put me in a situation where I didn't know what to do!"

He now stood up and faced Axton who also had raised from his previous seat.

"And what the hell had that got to do with us, huh?! You didn't tell us because you were mad at your parents?! You have known since you did that background check on her, haven't you?" The following silence gave away the answer. "A month ago, I can't believe it!"

Axton slightly pushed Trey's chest so his calves came in contact with the front of the sofa and he stumbled to the side.

"Yeah I have and I kept quiet! 'Cause otherwise you had to know that she's presumably not the only one! And I didn't wanna tell you that after every freaking gathering dad had with his coworker's mom out of the blue always seemed to get pregnant but I never got any siblings!"

Trey took in a deep breath and continued.

"I didn't wanna tell you because I fucking loathe myself for feeling embarrassed by it, by why everyone always asked if I'd get a brother or sister and after those nine months people started thinking that we killed every child in our family, how fucking sick is that even? But I couldn't answer 'because i didn't know so yeah maybe they did kill their own kids, I always had to just stay quiet about everything and wonder why I was alone. So I'm sorry about not telling you guys but hell what the heck did you want me to say when I didn't know anything myself?"

Trey's chest was rising up and down rapidly and silent tears were one by one dripping down his cheeks.

After a while of silence, Axton embraced Trey in a full on hug and also punched his back faintly, having a hard time controlling his anger meanwhile seeing his love cry. This touch made Trey break down completely and he fisted Axton's shirt in his hands while sobbing uncontrollably.

"You're an idiot, a fucking idiot. Why the hell have you been dealing with this on your own, huh? I thought you knew that you should always come to me with everything but apparently, you're more stupid than I thought."

Emeka also walked up to the hugging embrace and patted his back. He then opened his arms as to fulfill the hug but after a glare from Axton he only nodded his head sheepishly and backed away.

′Typical'

I wanted to be a helping force for my brothers but realized that sometimes you have to stay silent 'cause no words can explain the shit that's going on in your mind.

Minutes later Trey spoke up with a shaky voice. "I have to tell Becks."
