Ty closed his eyes once Bay had left and thought about what she told him. It hurt him physically that she had been with Emmett, although not fully according to her. He was angry at Bay and he knew that he shouldn't be. Would he feel different if it had been someone else? He didn't know.

He thought back to the toast at the wedding reception and the look that Emmett gave Bay, which had ultimately driven him to his deplorable actions after. He had always been so sure that she would go back to him but to see it actually happening was killing him. She had assured him that they were not together and that she didn't have any feelings for Emmett, but then, how could she have nearly slept with him. What did "nearly" slept with even mean? He kept imagining two naked bodies entangled and he grasped the bedcovers in fury.

Ultimately he knew it was caused by his actions and that Bay wouldn't have fallen into Emmett's arms had he been honest with her. Or would she have? Where was it going from here. He was supposed to move into her house in three weeks and he vowed to himself that he would do everything in his power to win her back.

Bay got home from school the next day and went straight to her room. She picked up the phone for the 10th time that day and looked at the number scrawled on a piece of paper she held in her hand. Was this a good idea? Probably not. Most likely it was the worse idea ever. Who was she to be meddling in matters that had long been set to rest? On the other hand, if she didn't would anyone else ever do it?

She dialed the number. It rang and rang and rang. Finally a woman answered. Bay's hand shook and she hung-up the phone. She looked at it again. Bay, make up your mind, she thought. She dialed the number once more and took a deep breath. The same voice answered the phone on the second ring sounding unnerved.

"He-Hello…" Bay stuttered.

"Who is this?" The voice on the other side sounded younger than Bay had expected.

"This is Bay Kennish speaking…I'm looking to speak with Mr. Raul Mendosa."

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Is this a joke?" Bay heard the female voice again.

Bay's hand shook and she just wanted to hang-up the phone again.

"I'm…I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number." She stuttered again.

"Raul Mendosa was my father. He and my mother died two years ago in a car accident."

Bay was mortified.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm his son's…girlfriend." Bay didn't know how else to identify herself.

There was a gasp at the other end.

"Listen lady, I don't know what you're talking about, but Marco is 14 and I assure you that he doesn't have a girlfriend."

Bay wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She knew that this was a mistake.

"Not Marco…Ty."

There was another long pause at the end.

"Who's Ty?" The woman's voice shook a bit.

"Listen, I'm really sorry to have called. I shouldn't have. This is none of my business."

Bay was ready to hang up the phone.

"Who's Ty?"

Bay took a deep breath.

"He's his son from his first marriage."

There was an even longer pause this time, then Bay heard the woman's trembling voice.

"I knew it. I knew it all along."

"Sorry?" Bay asked

"When I was 10 I heard a huge argument between my parents about someone I thought was called Ty. My father kept saying that he wanted him to come and live with us and my mother was crying. That night she nearly overdosed on pills."

"Oh no!" That was the only thing Bay was able to say.

"Where is he?"

"He was injured in Afghanistan. He's currently in an Army Hospital in Missouri. Please…I didn't tell him I would call his family, I'm not sure how he'll take this."

"How old is he?"

"He's 21. Sorry, can I have your name?"

"I'm Sofia…Sofia Mendosa. I'm 20. Listen, I need time to think. Can I call you back?"

Bay gave her the number and said goodbye. She sat on the bed and held her head between her hands. What had she done? What can of worms had she opened? Ty was probably going to kill her. She wanted to talk to his father and it turned out he had died. Now she had shaken up the life of girl her age, who now had to come to terms with having a half-brother she had never officially known about. Plus Sofia was 20, only 1 year younger than Ty. That meant that Ty's father must have left and started a new family straight away. How horrible. And Ty's father had actually wanted him to come and live with them when he was 11.

Bay was interrupted by her phone ringing. She didn't even look at the caller and assumed straight away that it was Sofia. She picked up the phone in a hurry.

"Listen…I'm so sorry. I keep doing these things without thinking and…"

"Bay, what's wrong." Ty said

"Ty! I thought you were someone else."

"Who?" Ty asked suspiciously.

"I can't talk about this right now. Can I call you back?"

"I see…" Ty sounded both defeated and angry.

"No Ty, it's not what you think, please. I just need some time here."

"Fine." Ty hung up the phone.

Great! Bay thought. Now she had managed to upset Ty as well. She couldn't have sounded guiltier on the phone either. He probably thought she was talking about Emmett. But how could she tell him anything without talking to Sofia first? What if she didn't want to ever see her brother? Bay would rather not mention it to Ty at all if that was the case. She couldn't believe the mess she had created for herself and for Ty.

Her phone rang again. This time it was Sofia.

I had this idea and I don't know if it works. I'll leave it up to you to decide. Do you want Sofia and Marco to meet Ty or do you want her to say she doesn't want anything to do with him? Let me know and thanks for the reviews!
