“When you said you know what Alan do, what did you mean by that? And why were those kids at detention that way because I mentioned I’m Alan’s sister?”.

His countenance changed. “Ask another question”.

“You said you would answer truthfully”.

“I can’t tell you that one, Nat”.

“Then I can’t tell you how I got those marks too”.

He sighed. “Harley should be the one to tell you her story not me”.

“What are you talking about?”. I asked confused.

“Alan wronged Harley not me, i just hate him for what he did to her, thats all”.

I crossed my arms. “So you are trying to tell me that Alan didn’t wrong you of any sort?”.

“I’ve told you my answer, now tell me yours”.

“No way”. I refused. “You didn’t tell me what he did”.

“I just told you that its Harley’s story, not mine”.

“Then I’m going to ask another question”.

He walked in his room and sat on his long couch on the other side. “Ask away”.

“Why do you like pranking people? What do you gain in it?”. I asked him curious.

He crossed his legs. “Firstly, it makes me laugh and secondly, i do it to forget my pain, lastly, i wanted to get a girl I like to notice me”.

Wow!! He went straightforward with it.

“Did it work?”.

“Huh?”.

“You said you wanted a girl to notice you? Did you get her?”. I asked curious.

“At least we talk”. He winked at me. “But I still want to be much more with her”.

Is it me or did my heart drop at what he said? So he likes a girl, wow. And here I am about to crush on him.

“You thought I wouldn’t answer your question, didn’t you?”. Reece continued. “I told you Nat, i would never lie to you”.

I raised an eyebrow. “Oh really? Then what do you mean by it helps you forget your pain?”.

He stood up and tucked his hands in his pockets looking outside his window.

“Reece?”. I called.

“My parents are divorced”. He spoke up lowly.

I was taken aback. “What?”.

“They had some problems so they decided they will be better off not married to each other”. He continued.

“Did it work?”. I asked him.

“Well yeah they got divorced sooner than I expected, i was still in junior high when it happened. Eventually, they had to choose who would take care of me”.

“So who are you staying with? Mum or Dad?”.

“Neither of them wanted to take custody of me so they left aside a mansion for me to reside”. He explained. “I always feel left out in things considering the fact I don’t have parents anymore”.

“Where are they now?”. I asked softly.

He shrugged. “I don’t know, somewhere around the world, last time Mum called me was months ago, i can’t even remember the last time when Dad called me”.

Gosh!! I shouldn’t asked that question. He was really going through problems but he hid it, i actually thought he was a happy person.

“I’m sorry”. I told him quietly.

“I don’t really care where they are right now because if I see them, not even hell knows what I’m going to do”. He sounded angry still facing the window.

I stood up from the bed and went towards him. I can’t believe I’m doing this.

I wrapped my hands slowly around him and hugged him from the back. He tensed for a bit before relaxing to my touch.

“I’m sorry, Reece. I shouldn’t have asked that question”. I told him lowly.

He stroked my hands around him. “Its okay, Nat. I needed someone to tell too”.

“Reece?”.

“Yeah?”.

“I can’t tell you yet whats going on with me”.

He paused then removed my arms around him turning around.

“You don’t trust me?”. He stared into my eyes.

“I do but ..”. I trailed off.

He tucked my hair behind my ear. “I get it, its hærd for you to say it out”.

“I wish I can tell you but__”.

“Everyone has their secrets”. He said interrupting me. “I’m fine with you not wanting to talk about it to me”.

I hugged him and he wrapped his hands around me again pulling me close to him.

“Whatever it is, i won’t judge you but I’ll give some time if thats what you want”. He whispered.

After staying like that in each other arms for like how long, we were interrupted by someone knocking.

“Come in”. Reece said still hugging me.

“Are you two done or should I come back later?”.

I pulled away from Reece to see Harley looking at both of us with a weird expression on her face.

“Reece and I were just talking”. I said nervously.

She snickered. “Yeah right, tell that to some child”.

“What are you doing here? Coz, Nat and I are in a middle of something”.

“Well it has to wait”. Harley came and held my hand. “Nat hasn’t even taken her bath, even you too, Reece”.

“Umm, maybe I should just go home so I can take my bath in my own house”. I told her.

“Not happening, you are coming with me”. Harley dragged me away from Reece room.

She led me out of the room and we landed into the hallway. I followed her down the hallway and we stopped in front of a pink door.

“Whose room is this?”. I asked Harley.

She pushed open the door and we walked in, i stopped seeing Bella singing along to Disney lyrics with a young girl with shiny glossy blonde hair.

“Bella? When did you get here?”. I asked surprised.

She gasped and ran over hugging me. “You are okay, thank goodness”.

“Huh?”.

She pulled away. “I got a call from Harley early this morning and Jeremy drove me here immediately”.

“Wait, Jeremy is here?”. I asked confused.

“Yeah”. She checked me. “Did Andrew, you know?”.

“No he didn’t. Thanks to Reece and Harley for helping me out”.

She nodded. “Gosh, Tasha. I am so sorry for ditching you last night, i didn’t even know when Jeremy took me home”.

“Its okay”. I assured her. “I’m not annoyed”.

She squealed excitedly. “Thank you, thank you”.

I chuckled a little. “Bella, stop”.

“Hi”.

I looked away from Bella to see the young girl waving at me.

“You must be Astrid”. I said.

“Yes and you are barbie”.

I raised an eyebrow. “Barbie?”.

“I better go tell Reece that his barbie is talking to me”. She ran out of the room.

I looked at Harley. “What just happened?”.

“Astrid has a crazy attitude”. She laughed it off. “Just ignore it”.

“She is just like you, Harley”. Bella commented. “She got that crazy thing”.

“Thanks beside not all siblings behave the same way”. Harley sat on Astrid’s bed.

“What do you mean?”. I asked her.

“Just like you and Alan, you are nice but he’s different, has a temper and also__”. She cut herself off immediately.

“Hold up, how do you know that about him?”. I asked her.

“Of course, Tasha doesn’t behave like Alan because she’s adopt__”.

I clamped my hand over Bella’s mouth to stop her from saying anything further.

“You are adopted?”. Harley asked.

I sighed removing my hand from Bella’s mouth.

“Sorry Tasha”. Bella whispered to me.

“What wrong with being adopted?”. Harley asked. “I’m adopted and its not a big deal”.

“What?!!”. Bella yelled.

I paused. “Harley, are you for real?”.

“Yeah I was adopted by the Worth family, that is Reece’s Aunt and Uncle”.

“So you are trying to say that you are not at all related to Reece or Astrid?”. Bella asked her.

Harley shook her head. “Nope”.

“Did you have a family before?”.

“Well yeah I had a fraternal twin sister but we got separated by our Dad along the way”. She revealed.

I paused by the room as I heard that, Nat is adopted?!!

“Reece”. Astrid nudged me. “Lets go in to meet your barbie”.

I crouched to her level. “How about you go to my room and take my big book”.

“Really?”. She smirked. “You know I’m going to use those pranks against you”.

I ruffled her hair. “I’ll be waiting”.

She giggled and ran off heading to my room.

I turned away from her room immediately and went back downstairs.

I met Lionel on the long couch pressing his phone.

“Where’s Jeremy?”. I asked him.

“He said he got something to do, i didn’t ask though”.

I sat on the couch. “I got news”.

“Shoot”.

“You were right”. I told him.

He looked at me. “About what?”.

“Nat and Alan aren’t real siblings, she was adopted”.

He sat up. “Wait!! So you are saying ..”.

“I’m sure that motherf×¢ker was the one who gave her those marks”.

“Did she tell you herself?”.

I shook my head. “No but I didn’t insist”.

“So when are we beating him up?”. Lionel asked all of a sudden.

“No way!!”. I refused. “Really? Do you want what happened last time to repeat itself?”.

“For your information, it wasn’t my fault. Harley caused that, not me. How was I to know she would go back to him?”. I knew he was getting pissed off.

“Was that why you two broke things off?”.

He frowned. “Can we talk about this another time?”.

“Look, I just don’t know what to do. How do I get Alan without actually hurting Nat?”.

Lionel shrugged. “Can’t your little girlfriend just tell someone else?”.

“I’m not sure she has, those marks are still not healed up which means the beatings are recent”.

“How are you sure that’s the only thing he’s doing?”.

I turned to him. “What the heck!!”.

“You said it yourself, she’s adopted. They are not siblings”.

“Well that doesn’t even mean he would ..”. I trailed off.

“She’s is not related to him so why can’t he?”.

I clenched my fists. “So you are saying?”.

“He might have, you know”. Lionel suggested. “You never know what Alan has done to her”.
