Sorry I took so long to update. I had some writers block, but it's all good now.
So here's chapter 3, enjoy (:
It had been 3 days since she got the news. Blaine was her brother, her twin brother. She was a little mad that her dads had kept this from her all these years. She had promised her dads she wouldn't say anything to Blaine, so now she just doesn't know how to act around him. She thought it best if she just avoided him until she knew she could handle this. She just really wanted to talk to someone, but not her dads. She knew there was only one other person who knew about this that she could talk to, and that person was Shelby.
Rachel goes to Shelby's after school. She hesitates a bit before knocking at the door, taking a deep breath. When Shelby opens the door, the two just stare at each other for a few seconds. Shelby breaks the silence.
"R-Rachel, hi."
"H-Hey. I, uhm. I need to talk to you."
"Ok, come in."
Rachel walks in and goes and sits down on the couch. The sit there for about a minute before Shelby speaks.
"So, what's up Rachel?"
"Well, my dad's told me a-about, uhm-" She took a deep breath before speaking again. "They told me about my brother." She just spit it out.
"O-Oh. They did?"
"Y-Yeah. I just, I don't know. I needed to talk about it I guess. But I didn't want to talk to my dad's. And I promised them I wouldn't tell Blaine. I guess I just wanted to know why."
"Rachel, the whole thing was just-"
"Complicated, I know. That's all my dad's kept telling me! I just want someone to tell me about it! I'm sick of hearing that it's complicated! I'm not a child!" She didn't mean to yell, but she thought she deserved more than it's complicated. She was a big girl, she can handle it. "S-Sorry, I-I didn't mean to yell."
"It's ok, I understand."
"So are you gonna explain it to me or not?" She snapped, again not meaning to.
"Yes, I will."
"Thank you." She smiled. "I didn't know I was pregnant with twins until I gave birth. I didn't want to have to split you guys up, but you're dad's just weren't ready for two babies. And at the time I didn't think I'd be able to raise a baby. We made sure he went to a good home. I know how it sounds, but we did what we thought was best from him, I promise."
"Was separating us really the best?"
"At the time, yes. Trust me Rachel, if things were different back then, you two would've stayed together."
"This is all just so much. And I can't even tell Blaine?"
"You said you promised your dad's you wouldn't?"
"Yes, but-"
"Rachel, can you please promise me the same?"
"But I think he has a right to know."
"He does, I know. But just please promise me that?"
"Ok, fine. I-I won't tell him."
"Thank you."
"Yeah. But why'd you decide to keep this from me? I mean if I didn't know Blaine, they never even would've told me." Rachel looks down at the floor.
Shelby didn't speak for about a minute. She could tell how upset Rachel was. "I'm sorry. I really am. But we just thought it'd be best not to tell you."
"I guess in a way I'm glad I didn't know. Cause now that I do know, it's gonna be awkward hanging around him."
Shelby was about to speak when Beth woke up and started crying. She got up and got Beth.
Rachel got up from the couch. "I guess I should go."
"Ok. Bye Rachel. And again, I'm sorry we kept it from you."
"It's ok, really. Bye." And with that she left. She wasn't sure what was gonna happen. This was huge.
