Life is a heartbreak

It's a never ending family problem

"Let me get this straight. We have another brother, for some reason our parents and nobody in the family told us. Our uncle got murdered, Rider got falsely accused and went to jail for days and now our brother dates this perfect girl, Amber. But Amber's sister is Alice, a mean girl. But our brother and Alice used to date?! It's like a never ending family problem. What is going on?! How did life suddenly turn upside down again. This is like when our parents passed away." Rose shouted at the TOP of her lungs. All her siblings were there with her, trying to understand how their life just turned upside down again. "Okay, let's not freak out too much. We've been doing that for 48 hours. Honestly, I'm happy we have a new brother. Someone to protect us, help us and guide us. Silver lining, right?" Riley said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. "The thing is, our parents and family members hid this secret for so Long, I'm pretty sure if we didn't find out ourselves, they never would've told us. But WHY?! Mom and dad were so nice. Such perfect people. They were everything a kid could want. So why would they hide this from us? They love us. We all know that." Mark said, trying to think. Why would the perfect parents hide a secret as big as this?! It's impossible, right?

        The siblings were looking at the chart Rider organised for them. They were trying to find out why their family members would hide this, and I'm sure nobody can blame them. Even with all their smarts, they just couldn't figure it out. Most of the main characters in this mystery are already dead, so what were they to do? "I just don't understand. How? Why? What caused this? Did someone threaten them? Was it a family issue? Ugh..." Rose shouted then slammed the door and threw herself onto the bed. "We can't panic. Besides, what's the worst that could happen? We just got our whole world flipped in 48 hours and found out we have another uncle, and that we have another SIBLING?! And, our second uncle that we knew about died too. Our parents also died which left us orphans. So what is the possible worst scenario? Oh right, EVERYTHING. I mean, look at us. We're trying to figure out why our perfect parents hid a sibling and an uncle from us. This is pathetic." Riley said. Obviously, she had a reason to be upset.

"Yes, but look at the bright side. At least we have a new sibling!" Rider said, trying to sound hopeful. "That was hidden from us for years. I mean, don't get me wrong, we absolutely love the fact that we have another brother, and you're Super cool and all but... seriously. Why would such a big thing be kept from us? Especially from our amazing, sweet parents! How?!" Rose replied. All the siblings were thinking deep and hard. How is this even possible? How did their lives change in a blink of an eye? It wasn't fair to them, that's for sure. They had a ton of questions that were dying to be answered. But the real question was, why? Why would this even happen? Why would their parents keep this from them? Why?

The next day at school, the siblings were in deep shock. They hardly communicated to anyone except themselves. Of course, most of them were at different schools so they texted each other. They had to know why. They just had to. Even if it was the last thing they did. "Hey Riley! Do you have any idea why Mark is acting weird? He hasn't talked to me that much. He just said: 'hi' and he was on the phone pretty much all day. I'm worried about him..." Amber said with a concerned look. Riley was in a dilemma, should she tell her what's been going on? She felt bad to lie to her, and she loved Mark so much. But should she? It could risk her siblings and herself. And they were already dealing with so much. Gosh.... so complicated. She didn't want to drag her into this either. It's a never ending family problem. But she could use her help... maybe she should just tell her everything's fine? To protect Amber, herself and her siblings. Especially because they haven't found the murderer of their parents yet. "Oh! Everything is Super. Mark seems fine though. You shouldn't worry, he's probably just stressed out about work, classic Mark." Riley said, plastering a fake smile on her face. Amber nodded and left in her limo.

Riley met up with her siblings and had coffee. They studied, tried to crack the whole family thing, studied, studied even more, studied again, studied again and repeat. They also wanted to catch up with each other. They were about 18 years behind. A good thing was that Rose was awesome, like awesome in English. Rider was Super in Math. Riley was amazing in Chemistry and Mark was great at Physics. They helped each other. They were all so smart, but nobody can say they know everything, now can they? Rose was also preparing for a Writing Competition. She needed to get her mind off things and get more things to add to her graduation certificate. Riley was applying for a Science Event, Rider was applying for a Soccer game. Boys need to have fun. And Mark was applying to do Community Service since he was perfect and all. They were all cramming for their Start of Year Examination. I know, crazy that there's a start of year examination. They were studying 100x more than before, which is mad because they were studying 3000000000x more than an average student before. "No, this is the Chemical reaction, not this." Riley said. They were sort of the puzzle that needed to be fixed with all pieces. And now with Mark, they were completed. But what didn't feel right was the fact that their parents didn't say anything, Nor their family members. I mean, it's crazy, isn't it?
