To tell, or not to tell?

"Ahhh Joey, this is not a good time... but I am glad you are back! I suppose you can tell me about your vacation when I'm done?" Said Dr. Canoff

"Actually Doctor, let- let him stay." I replied, not daring to look up.

"Ms. Barbana, are you sure you want to do th-"

"I'll stay." Joey interrupted.

Joey sat in the seat next to Christina and I saw the truth in her eyes. Like, she knew what I was going to say.

"Christina, I- I know this might sound crazy, even a bit absurd but-"

"It was him. This is Ben's brother Brobi, he raped you, DIDN'T HE? Is he my father? ANSWER ME MOM!"

"YES... YES. HE IS YOUR FATHER! And I'm sorry I said- I said everything about him being dead, and gone! I just didn't want to hurt you Christina! Understand that? Please!

My face was drenched. My heart was still. I couldn't dare to look at her face. I looked to the side of the door and saw Ben looking through the window. I heard the door open wide and my heart fled with fury.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING IN HERE?" KELLY??" He screamed.

"look it wasn't her fault, I agreed to stay in here-"

"Was anyone talking to you Joey? NO ONE ASKED YOU TO SAY A GODDAMN THING!"

Ben scurred over to him like he was going to fight. I don't remember seeing Ben this mad since that night. Well I guess technically, since he last saw "Brobi".

"My God Ben, calm down" I said pulling him back.

"Sir! Sir! SOMEONE CALL SERCURITY!" Dr. Canoff yelled.

"No, no! No one call security! He'll.. Be .. FINE!" I said with relief, yanking Ben off a Joey.

After a long silence and heavy breathing, Christina finally decided to say something after sitting in the corner, watching everything unfold.

"Is- is this why Ben never talks to his brother? Is this why you told me that my grandparents were DEAD too? YOU DIDN'T DARE TO THINK THAT THIS WAS GOING TO GET AROUND TO ME SOMEDAY?"

"Christina I-"

"It was all my fault. I caused everything, all this pain you and your mother are going through. If anything, blame me and not your mom" Joey interrupted.

"Don't you dare get into this Joey!" Ben replied.

"Please sir, everyone is calm now. Let's just take a break with the offense term alright? Breathe in and breathe out." Said Dr.Canoff.

I looked up at him and I saw tears flowing down in his face. Maybe he did change.

"No kidding, it was all your fault! Thanks for stating the obvious." Replied Christina walking out the door and slaming her way out of it. I saw her give me the deadliest glance as she walked out.

This... This is exactly what I didn't want to happen. No matter what anyone says, some truth is not meant to be said. Maybe, this was it.
