I must be hearing things so I repeat what he just said. "My brother?"
"Half-brother," Kevin corrects. "If we're being technical."
Kevin is only a year older than me though.
"If you're my half brother then that means . . . oh my god."
I think I'm going to be sick.
My parents were together for over five years but my dad was cheating on my mom before she got pregnant with me.
"How long have you known?"
"Way too long," he answers. "Desiree, I swear this is not how I wanted you to find out." Kevin reaches for my hand–well he tries to–but I take another step back.
"Four months, Kevin," I say. "We have been friends for four months and you didn't think to fucking tell me that you're my brother?" I make sure to keep my voice down because I don't want to draw attention to us. "I opened up to you about my dad for fuck's sake! I told you about his kids–my half-siblings–and you–" I stop to breathe. "You stood there and acted surprised when you knew about everything all along."
"I wanted you to hear it from our dad first but he was practically forcing me to tell you."
"Why didn't you tell me then? Don't you think it would've been better for me to hear it from you?"
"I thought about it but–"
"Please don't give me another excuse, Kevin." I hear the large bell that hangs above one of the buildings ring. I have five minutes left before class starts. "I'm going to need you to stay away and give me space to process this because I don't think I can trust you right now."
