Chapter 17: All kind of pain

Katherine Wright

Its been 2 weeks now since I started my diet. I gained 6 pounds. I still have to jog and drink green stuff. I started feeling hunger too.
Things have been going smooth. I'm already catching the accent.

My brothers are good to. I jog 5 rounds with Nate everyday. Me and the twins often have movie marathons together. Hayden and Alex have been really busy with their office stuff. Leo too. So I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with them.

Brandon shifted to London and is now officially my therapist. He comes to my place every alternate day. I have taken 3 sessions with him till now. I'm happy for him. He is finally able to move one. Some questions about how actually I am related to my brothers have been coming to my mind. So I indirectly asked Brandon what should I do. And he suggested I should take it with Alex. And luckily it was Sunday so he was working at his home office. It was 2 in the afternoon. So I went to him and knocked on his door. He said a small come in. I popped my head inside his office not completely revealing myself.

"Um...you busy?"

"No. Tell me do you need something?"

"Um...I uh wanted to...talk about something."

"Yeah. Come sit."

"Okay. This thing is going on and on in my head for a while now so I just wanted to get it out."

"No issues. Go ahead."

"Earlier when I asked you about dad. You just brushed it away. Does he not want to see me? I mean he hasn't even contacted me yet."

"Dad doesn't live with us Kat. He is not here. He has taken some time to himself after handing things over to me. It has been too tiresome for him to look after everything. He hasn't even contacted me. I haven't told him about you yet. Once he calls I'll tell him everything and he will be very happy to know about you and he will come to meet you okay. Dont think too much about it."

"What about mom?" He froze not expecting my question.

"Alex be honest and tell me am I a bastard child? Am I not your whole blood? Is that why everyone hated me in the beginning but then everyone just took pity on me. Because my mom cant be your mom. She was 38. You are 28. She cant have you when she was like 10."

"ENOUGH!" Alex shouted making me jump in my place.

"Why do you have so much questions? Why don't you just go around the life we are providing you? I care for you. Provide for you. I'm sending you to the most prestigious and expensive school in 3 weeks. Why can't you focus on that? Why are you so hung up to your past? Cant you just go about your life for once?" He had stood up from his seat now. And I was crying. I was so hurt by his behavior. He made such a big issue out of my simple question.

"I just want to know who I am." I said in between my sobs. And I took off. I heard him calling me out. But i was out of the office by then. I heard him curse 'FUCK' and then something broke in his office. I ran to my room and locked the door not wanting to see anyone.

It was dinner time. I was upset and angry on myself for shouting on Kat like that. I took my seat on the dinning table where everyone except Kat was sitting.

"Where's Kat? She's never late for dinner." Nate asked.

"Um...about that. We have a little situation." I spoke hesitantly. My brothers respected me very much but there was no doubt that they loved Kat more than that.

"What situation?" Hades asked in a worried tone. I told them everything line to line. They all listened in silence.

"What the fuck Alex! How could you do that?" Hades spoke in anger.
