My eyes couldn't help but bulge out of my eye socket as I stood there with my jaw hung open.

"Tyler is related to Travis?" I managed to speak, not believing my own words.

Everyone looked unfazed as if it was the universal truth.

"Tyler is related to Travis?" Adrienne snorted. "Aren't brothers supposed to be related to each other?" She asked with a sly smile on her face.

It felt like someone has punched me on the guts. If my earlier reaction was funny enough then think what it would be right now?

"T-they are b-brothers?" I couldn't breathe properly. "B-but they are not even twins. How they are of the same age?" I asked confusedly.

" What's with you right now? Are you guys going to stand here all day or show them the school?" Mrs. Amber interrupted us, with her hands crossed over her chest.

I pouted at her sharp glare while hanging my head low in defeat.

Adrienne sighed audibly and hand over my shoulder. Tyler smiled cheekily and snaked his hand over my other side.

"C'mon girl. I'll tell ya on the way."

Melissa followed our trail while clapping her hands in the background.

"SO THEY ARE STEP BROTHERS?" I screamed for the umpteenth time, inwardly shuddering at the secrets that were unveiling in front of my very eyes.

Well, everyone else snorted at my behavior saying that I was being too dramatic.

"I'm just wondering, how could you not know?" Adrienne remarked dryly.

"You practically sleep with him." She finished.

"How I am supposed to know when nobody cares to tell me? And, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY I SLEEP WITH HIM?" I yelled furiously.

"You just told me about that yesterday." She rolled her eyes.

"Wow, Casie I thought you were the decent type. I never knew you were that forward with him." Tyler snickered.

"See. That's what I'm trying to say. He never even utters the word brother. So, how am I supposed to know they are related?" "And what the hell do you mean by forward with him?" I huffed angrily, already shooting him death glares.

Tyler laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Now, how a girl and boy of our age would just lie down in the same bed without having any kind of solid reason other than sex ?"

The veins of my forehead popped up. " Stop being so pervy. We are not some kind of hormonal freaks that would jump on each other whenever they get the chance. And we had our reasons." I said through gritted teeth.

Adrienne sighed. " Okay guys no need to get tensed. This is the result of being in the dark. You guys are just jumping on the conclusion because you just know the half of the story, So lets seat back and clear everything."

Inhaling a deep breath, I tried to control my inner oddities. Tyler's family history was very deep. It's roots had went too far that it was impossible to rip them apart. Which was a good thing.

If your bonds are strong than you don't need blood to mark that relation. Family is not defined by blood. It's defined by your emotion and what you feel towards the other person.
