Chapter 45 → Ray

"You okay?" Brandon asked noticing my pale complexion
"I'm good" I smiled weakly

I had just been out of hospital and not even 5 steps outside I was told Zion could be my biological brother which conflicted me because Lucas was my brother, he's been. He was the only one in my pictures and the only one who's lived with us

I thought back to when we were younger, I remember there used to be a room, a boys room, decorated to the tea, with a giant "Z" painted on the ceiling. Whenever Lucas and I asked about it we were always dismissed or scolded for "involving ourselves in matters of the elders". So to avoid conflict or scolds we just stayed away from the room. Eventually we forgot about it

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Brandon placing his hand on my thigh, giving me a reassuring squeeze. I looked ahead to see we had pulled up to my moms house. I looked back at Brandon who gave me a look of reassurance

I hopped out of the car, fixing myself before going to the front door and knocking, no later Lucas opened the door, giving me a bone crushing hug

"Okay, I just got out, I'm not in the mood to go back" I gasped out
"Sorry" Lucas chuckled "I just missed ya sis"
"Mind saying that again, I wanna make it my ringtone" I said pulling my phone out
"I deny ever saying that!" Lucas said walking into the house with his hands up in surrender making me laugh

I gave Brandon a reassuring smile and wave before he honked and drove off making me aww at his sweetness

I walked into the living room where my mother shot up and ran up to me, hugging and kissing me like there was no end

"Okay ma" I said pushing her away jokingly
"Your hermosa beat me to it didn't he?" She pouted, glaring at Lucas who laughed
"Yup" I smiled

"Dad" I said simply nodding in my dads direction
"Father 2" I said smilin at Clarence and giving him a hug
"How you doing kiddo" he asked ruffling my hair
"I was good until you ruined my bed hair" I said fixing it while glaring at him playfully making him laugh

"And me?" Zion said making me smile
"I could never forget my favorite and only beanstalk" I smiled giving him a hug as well
"I could never forget my only short sis-
"Fun sized" I corrected
"Well you have to actually be fun to be "FUN" sized" Zion said
"Fuck you-
"Excuse me!"
"Sorry mom" I said slightly rolling my eyes and turning to face her

Clarence fixed us some lemonade and cookies before my mom began talking
"Okay, so I guess you three want an explanation" my mom began making all of us nod

"When we had Lucas it was all planned, we had planned on having one child but ended up finding out that I had conserved two children. Fraternal twins" she said "when we found that out, I couldn't take care of two kids-
"So you just abandoned me and gave Lucas a chance at a loving and caring family" Zion butt in
"No no. Trust me Caleb. It ate me up every day. The thought that I gave you up. So I contacted the Kuwonus and asked they send me a picture of you every birthday" my mom said pulling out an album filled with Zion's pictures
"But you never really came to check up on me, see that their treating me fine, that I'm alive. Instead you sat your ass on that chair and waited for the next June to come by"Zion snapped

I could hear both the anger, irritation and sadness laced in his voice which made my heart break. I mean I would feel the exact way of my parents had so carelessly abandoned me

"I wanted to Zion!" My mom resorted
"Yet you didn't!" Zion snapped "you gave Lucas a chance at a loving, warm and biological family while I sat an believed I was one of the Kuwonus when in actual fact I'm a Naija!"

My moms mouth hung open, as tears ran down her face
"Caleb-
"You have no right to call me that" Zion spat bitterly
"I gave you that name. Only your mother would call you that" my mom said
"Exactly. My mother- being the woman who cared for me all these years"

With that Zion stormed out of the house, slamming the door. My mom stood to run after him but Lucas held her close, letting her cry into his chest. I went to comfort her

"Go after Zion" My father said
"And why the hell would I listen to you?" I spat yanking my hand away from him
"Ray-
"You let mom give Zion up, knowing very well she wasn't in her correct frame of mind!" I yelled
"Ray this isn't the time!" My father harshly said
"And when is huh? When you're drunk? Fucking some porn star? Coming to some event that's important to my life- oh wait. You don't attend those!" I said yelling
"Ray this is between us, we'll discuss this later" he said
"There is no later because after this- don't ever fucking talk to me deadbeat" I spat making my way out of the house

I hopped into Lucas' car and rested my head on the steering wheel, taking in what had just happened before zooming to where I knew Zion would be
