It Can't Be...

Chapter 15

A/N:  Here is another chapter and I hope you enjoy it.

Tee POV

Oh, I hope this goes well. I made my parents promise not to come to the university when they got back into to town. Instead, I told them that I wanted to meet with them at the house. I know that it is over an hour drive from the university, but I didn't think that it would be safe for them to drive home after seeing Detrick. I can only imagine what they will be like when they finally see that my identical twin really didn't pass away. I'm sure that they will be mad, when they find out that Detrick was actually kidnapped as a baby. Well, I'm still dealing with the whole kidnapping thing, but I'm sure that my parents are probably going to act the same way as me.

I did warn them that I have people coming along with me and that I won't be alone. However, I didn't say who it was. I just told them that the people are connected to the issue at school.

The car ride to the house was rather quiet. I was lost in thought and trying to anticipate how my parents will react, while Detrick was nervous about the whole thing.

He finally confessed when we first started driving to my house that he was concerned about how our parents are going to take the news. I'm still not sure how they will react, but I'm confident that they will be happy.

Tae and I try to comfort Detrick and ensure that our parents will be happy, but I can still see some doubt in his eyes. However, I can also see fear. I'm still not sure why he would be afraid or fearful of finally getting to reunite with our parents, but then again, I have never gone through anything like this before. I still can't believe that I'm going through it right now, but I know I am.

As we pull up to my house, I chime, "This is it. We are home."

Detrick's attention immediately snaps to the large house in front of us. Based on the things that he has told me regarding his life, I'm positive that he has never lived in a house this big. Well, this isn't really that big, but I'm sure to him, it is like a mansion. However, if he wants to see a mansion, he needs to go visit Bas's house. Now, that is a mansion.

Detrick takes a deep breath, and I don't give him a chance to even think. I quickly hop out of the car and I open the door to the back seat.

I don't want any arguing or protesting. We can't put this off any longer. We have to tell our parents.

I put on a smile and for the first time since I've met Detrick, it is a fake smile. I don't want him to think the worst, but I do want him to feel comfortable, so I can't let him see my concern or worry.

As Detrick turns and looks at me with a frighten puppy dog look, I keep my fake smile plastered on my face and grab his wrist. "Now, there isn't anything to worry about. The faster that we get in there. The faster we get this over with. Don't worry and don't forget that Tae and I will be right next to you the whole time. Okay."

I see another bout of fear flash through his eyes, before he reluctantly nods his head. "Okay, but don't leave me."

Tae has gotten out of the car and has come around the side of the car to me. He leans into the backseat while he smiles and gently grabs Detrick's wrist. "Remember, I'm here and I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Okay. You can think of me as not only your friend, but also your guardian."

Tae's calm voice seems to calm Detrick down too. I don't know exactly how he does it, but he only has to say a few words and I can visibly see Detrick relax a little bit.
