Chapter 9
Ted
Ted and Collin were sitting on the edge of the swimming pool with Zara watching both of them from afar. Ted hadn't even hesitated in touching the water, maybe he was just afraid to be alone? But that still didn't explain why Ted was afraid of the water, was there a reason behind this?
"Do you remember when mum used to take us swimming?" Collin asked as he splashed at the water below him with his feet. "Yeah, she used to teach me." Ted smiled as dipped his toe into the cold water. "Well, whenever you go near water, I want you to think of mum." Collin replied. He wanted his brother to move on, he remembered his brother's aversion to water.
Collin pushed off from the side of the pool and made a splash as his body hit the water with a sharp splash. Ted giggled and hesitated as he moved towards the water. Remember mum, remember mum. Ted chanted within his head. He slowly plucked up the courage and splashed into the water.
He panicked as he hit the water and began kicking to get his head above the water. His heart was racing and his thoughts were incoherent.
Collin grabbed him and pulled him over to the side. "Its okay, Ted, just water." Collin tried to comfort his brother and pulled him into a hug. "It's alright."
Collin
"I believe you know why your here." Zara said as soon as both she and Collin had taken their seats on opposite sides of her desk. "Yeah, I know." Collin replied glumly and fiddled with the bottom of his shirt. "Do you have any idea why he's... afraid of the water?" Zara hesitated as she poured herself a glass of water.
"It all started when dad found out that Ted wasn't his." Collin answered, lowering his head as to not look into Zara's eyes. "You mean Ted's your half-brother?" Zara asked, she was shocked, the boys looked almost exactly the same. "Yeah..."
"Who were you with?" Gary Reeves demanded as soon as his wife Helen had returned home. He had seen her, earlier on in another man's car. "A friend, Gary!" Helen screamed back at him. Both of the adults had a fiery temper. "And who's this friend?" Gary asked sneering the word 'friend'
"Someone who's better than you!" Helen screamed at Gary in response. Gary's face now turned a fiery red colour. "How dare you!" He screamed and slammed Helen into the wall by her head. Helen whimpered and clutched her head. "I treat you like my own goddess, and you cheat on me!" Gary screamed at her and pushed her onto the floor with Helen's hair.
"Next you'll be telling me he's Ted's father!" Gary screamed and looked down at his wife's guilt ridden face...
