Homebound (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

The next thing I know, I'm put into the conference room in the main office with one of the guidance counselors next to me. The school is waiting on the police to show up because they didn't exactly have any guidelines on what to do in times when a kid finds out his parents might have kidnapped him when he was young and had been treating him as their own son. I'm pretty sure they were just winging it at this point and trying not to fuck anything up too bad.

"Can I see my sisters?" I ask the counselor next to me in a weak voice.

"Not right now. We can't do anything until the police get here," Dr. Getter says to me in a voice that's meant to be soothing but is much more annoying than anything.

I get that they can't do anything until the police come, but they could at least tell me something. Where are my sisters? Are they okay? Do they know what's going on? What about my parents? Are they being picked up to be interrogated about this whole thing? I never should've done that stupid DNA test. I never should've thought to spit into a tube to see if I was adopted. It's going to ruin my goddamn life and now, I don't even know who I am. Is my name really Blaine Marsh? Or am I truly Wyatt Ferguson? There are too many questions that I have that aren't getting answered.

The door to the conference room swings open before a woman wearing a police officer uniform walks in. When she sees me, she gives me a sweet smile. "Hi, Mr. Marsh. I'm Officer Hawkin."

I nod my head before shaking her hand when she holds it in front of me. "Hi."

"So, Mr. Marsh," Officer Hawkin says after she introduces herself to Dr. Getter. She has a serious look on her face, telling me that she's already getting into this so soon after arriving. "if you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to do a DNA test?" She asks, pulling out one of the chairs at the big conference table before sitting down. I hide my hands in my lap, deciding to play with my fingers to hide all the nerves coursing through my body. I look over at Dr. Getter since I don't know if I'm supposed to answer her question.

"It's okay, you won't get in trouble," he tells me in that annoying voice.

I look back at the officer to see her waiting for me to speak first. I sit back in my chair, deciding to at least get comfortable before I answer all the personal questions that this lady is going to ask. "My... my parents told me that all of my sisters were adopted, but they always told me I was their real kid. But... I didn't believe them for some reason."

Officer Hawkin nods her head before writing something down on a tiny notepad that she had kept in her pocket. "Okay."

"So I saved up some money before ordering the testing kit. I didn't really think I would get anything back from it, but... I did," I say, my voice becoming much softer by the end of my statement.

Officer Hawkin nods again before pulling a paper out of her pocket and handing it to me. I let out a sigh before opening up the folded paper to see the screenshot that Rosa must've taken that showed that the test said that Lukas Ferguson is my father. I stare at it for a few moments before pushing the paper away, not wanting to see it anymore. "It says that Lukas Ferguson, a man whose son went missing 15 years ago, is your father."

I don't say anything. I just watch Officer Hawkin stare at me, waiting for me to respond even though I'm not going to. After a while of us staring off, she stands up from her seat before leaving the conference room. Dr. Getter doesn't say anything, thankfully, and we sit there in silence. After a bit of time, I'm being escorted out of the school and taken to the police station where I'm stuffed into a small office by myself. It feels like forever before Officer Hawkin comes back with another woman.

"Can I see my sisters?" I ask as soon as they walk in because I need to know where my sisters are and what's going on with them. Do they know what's going on and why they were taken out of school?
