I Promise (Explicit Version)

~Chapter Six~

There, I found an unfamiliar man hugging Darren. He had our family face shape, but straight hair.

"Chuck, this is Luna, our younger sister, Luna, this is Chuck, the oldest," Darren said. Crazy. Two weeks ago, I was positive I would never know my biological family. Now, I have two older brothers. I hugged Chuck and I finally soaked in our family characteristics. We all had black hair, but all of them had different textures. Chuck's was straight while Darren's was curly. Mine was wavy, but used to be curly. We were all tan with brown eyes. Chuck had caramel brown and Darren had chocolate brown. I had russet brown eyes. Somehow, in this setting, I finally found my home. Home is where family is. And this is mine.

"So, twenty years of life to catch up on. Let's do this," Chuck said.

"Lightning round questions," Darren suggested. I went first.

"Um, major in college and why," I said.

"Song writing and management. I've always wanted to start a band," Chuck said.

"Acting. I've loved it for as long as I can remember," Darren said.

"English and journalism. It's been a dream to publish a book, but I have to make a living, so journalism is a good temporary way," I said.

"Favorite ice cream flavor," Chuck started.

"Oreo," Darren said, closing his eyes in pure bliss at the mere thought.

"Mint chocolate chip and caramel tie," I said honestly.

"Strawberry."

"Um, favorite hobby."

"Reading, writing, and fangirling. I'm a nerd."

"Music. There's nothing wrong with being a nerd."

"Music and acting."

"Favorite Harry Potter character."

"Ron."

"Harry."

"Luna."

"How you met your best friend," Chuck said.

"I met Joey in college. Orientation, actually."

"I actually met him when I was adopted. Robert. He's my adoptive cousin," I said.

"I met George in high school. We talked a lot over the phone in college. We're still really close."

"Let's see here, um, your reaction when we found out about each other," Darren said.

"I have a good story," Chuck said.

"My turn!" I exclaimed, "Well, um we were going to a dinner with the rest of our family. I had pulled over and I would've slammed on the brakes if I hadn't pulled over and parked."

"Well, actually, I'm the oldest, so when I heard about the fact I was having a sibling, I was pretty excited. Then two years went by and I was excited for another sibling," Chuck said. "When I realized you weren't just a face that was in an album, I broke down."

"Well, I don't remember any of that," Darren began, "When I realized yeah that you were still alive, I was in shock for a few hours."

"Um, well, on that note, favorite color."

"Red."

"Purple."

"Blue."

We kept asking random questions and I felt like I actually knew my family. By the time everyone came down for lunch, I was talking cheerfully with almost everyone. That day wasn't just the day I met my other brother, I also properly met my niece. I had finished my lunch and continued my conversation about Lucius Malfoy with Lauren while I held Sophia on the couch.
