Previously on His Confession:

"I'm Benny's older brother, Vincent," the taller man said.

I stared at the man for a while before smirking. "Bullshit you are. I've never heard of a guy named Vincent. Not once has my mother brought you up, and my father hasn't been around enough to tell me about you. The only siblings I know are my--"

"Miscarried twin sister and Lily," Vincent finished. "I'm sorry, Benny."


Resuming Chapter Twenty-Three;
"You left me..."/Drive-Thru Car Wash

I felt odd. I felt betrayed and lied to and I felt like my whole life had been a lie. "Where were you? Where were you-- Why did you leave? You left me and Lily alone with her...? You know what, fuck me. You left Lily! You left your baby sister to live with an abusive mother," I laughed angrily.

"Lily was born after you, Benny. I didn't know about her until Dad--"

"But you knew about me...? You knew about me and you left me--"

"Benny, I was only four. Mom and Dad got into a big argument and when they got their divorce, Dad took me with him because he didn't want Mom to beat me," Vincent explained.

"...But he left me...?"

"Dad didn't think she would touch you. She favored you when you were young. She wouldn't let anyone hold you but herself and when she couldn't hold you, she'd have you strapped to her. She didn't want Dad or me to have the pleasure of getting to know you, Benny, and I'm so sorry. I really did try to come over and hang out with you but when she somehow found out that I'm bisexual, she didn't want me anywhere near you. On your thirteenth birthday, I remember coming over--I was going to stomp right into Mom's house and ignore her nagging to spend time with you...but I heard you both screaming at each other and I panicked. I got nervous. I was afraid that either of you would've thought I was a stranger or something and you would hurt me."

Grayson softly rubbed my back and bent down to kiss my forehead before whispering: "Do you want me to give you some space? I'll take Carter away too if you need."

"No... Stay with me just in case," I said as I stared into Vincent's eyes.

He didn't look offended at all. No, instead, he looked understanding and still so sorrowful. "I'm sorry for waiting so long to meet you, Benny," he said. "I met up with Carter today to meet you tomorrow. He said that you moved in with a gray-eyed man named Andrew... Am I correct to assume that you're him?" Vincent questioned my boyfriend.

"No," he answered simply, staring into Vincent's eyes.

"Andrew is my boyfriend's father. This is Grayson...my boyfriend," I explained. Vincent extended his arm to shake hands with Grayson, but my boyfriend stood still, glaring at the man's hand. "Why would you shake my hand first?" he questioned.

"To thank you. Thank you for taking care of Benny as long as you have, and thank you for inviting him to live with you," Vincent said.

Grayson narrowed his eyes at Vincent and hummed shortly before bending back down and whispering to me. "Let me know when you want to leave, alright? Or if you want me to do something, just let me know."

I nodded and he pressed his forehead against mine before kissing my cheek gently. I then grabbed his chin and pressed my lips to his, and he squeezed my ass before pulling away from me.

"Vincent," I called, internally cringing from the foreign name. "Let's stick to your schedule. We'll meet tomorrow. I was supposed to be out on a date, away from the kids and away from any kind of drama that exists in my life, and this little reunion has spoiled my night."
