Musa and her dad found a bench to sit on which happened to be right in view from Riven's balcony. Riven, Stella, and Brandon saw them sit down and watched them talk from the balcony. Fortunately for them, Musa and her father didn't know they were watching.

Her father began to speak. Musa noticed he wasn't looking directly at her while he talked.

"Musa. This is very tough for me to say. I have fallen very ill".

"How ill?"

"The doctor told me I don't have much time left" her father told her, his voice beginning to crack.

"You're dying?" Musa asked in a quiet, sad, depressing voice.

"Yes-"

"No you can't be. Your lying" Musa said in a loud voice. She couldn't believe what her father just said. Tears fell down her cheeks.

Riven, Stella, and Brandon heard what Musa had just said. They saw her wiping her eyes from tears.

Riven couldn't stand to see his girlfriend cry. "Do either of you know what's going on" he asked Stella and Brandon. They both shook their heads no.

"Musa, there is something else I have to tell you" her dad said trying to sound calm.

Musa just looked at him. Her eyes were puffy and tears still formed in them.

Her dad continued talking. "This is really, really hard for me to tell you, and before I do tell you, just remember that I loved your mother and you very much."

Musa's face became frozen. She wasn't sure if she could process anything else he said after what he had just told her. She hadn't even finished processing that.

"Musa, I…I had an affair a long time ago".

Musa just stared at him. Her body could not move.

"It happened a little before your mother found out she was pregnant with you. I met Emily after a concert one night and it just happened. I'm really sorry Musa. I was so stupid". He paused to see if Musa would say something, but she remained silent. "A few weeks later, Emily came to me and told me she was pregnant. I begged her to keep quiet about it since your mother was pregnant and I didn't want to risk losing her and you. She agreed. Many years later Emily contacted me saying our son, David, wanted to meet his father, me. I told her it was a bad idea. After that he kept insisting to meet me but I kept refusing. He hasn't contacted me recently so I assume he gave up on trying to meet me."

Musa still continued to stare at him. Tears moved down her face again.

"I wanted to tell you about David, your half brother, before I died".

Musa finally spoke in a whisper that her dad could barely hear. "Did mom know?"

"…"

"She didn't, did she?"

"I figured it was best if she didn't find out".

This made Musa really angry and she stood up and began screaming at her father.

"BEST FOR WHO? MOM? ME? YOU? YES YOU CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU! YOU COME HERE AND TELL ME YOU'RE DYING, AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, YOU TELL ME I HAVE A HALF-BROTHER!" Musa screamed through her tears.

Riven knew he had to get to Musa. He ran out of his room. Stella and Brandon followed.

They ran out the main doors of Red Fountain to see Musa hysterical and still yelling at her father.

"Musa calm down" her father said.

"CALM DOWN! YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I'M GOING TO CALM DOWN AFTER WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME! HOW CAN YOU EVEN TELL ME TO CALM DOWN-" Musa was interrupted by Riven pulling her against his chest and falling to ground with her. Musa cried into his chest.

Stella watched one of her best friends break down. Brandon took her hand and walked over to Musa's father.

"Let's take you back to Alfea. When she's calmed some, Riven will bring her there" Brandon told Musa's dad.

He looked like a wreck but agreed to go with Brandon.

They walked away leaving Riven holding Musa tight as she cried.
