Bay answered the phone.

"Bay? It's Bay right?" Sofia said on the other side.

"Yes. Hi!"

"Why did you call? I mean, why now?"

"I'm sorry. It was an impulse thing. I don't know myself and I'm afraid of the outcome."

"I want to meet him."

"A-Are you sure..? I don't know if…"

"Yes I'm sure. I'll keep it for myself for the time being and won't mention it to Laura and Marco."

"Laura?"

"She's my sister. She's 16."

"There's another one?" Bay felt faint.

"Yes, that's us. I've been taking care of them ever since our parents died. I work as a Nurse."

"Ok" Bay was thinking furiously "Listen, I need to speak to Ty, I don't know how he'll take this. I can't even guarantee he'll want to see you. He's going to be so angry at me."

"Well, you're his girlfriend so you'll probably know best how he'll react."

"I'm not really his girlfriend. I mean, I was, but I'm not at the moment. It's just really complicated."

"Okayyyy….What are you then?"

"A friend. He's staying here at my parent's house after he's discharged and until he recovers. He doesn't have any family left."

"So how do you want to do this?"

"I don't know. I need to speak to Ty. I'm going to see him again this weekend."

"I'm off this weekend so I could drive over if you want. Otherwise it's really complicated with my schedules."

"I really didn't want to do this over the phone, but if it's the only time you're available I might have to do it."

"Will you call me? I'll give you my cell phone so you don't have to call the house, it might complicate things."

"Sure."

Bay jotted down Sofia's number and said goodbye. She looked at the phone and wanted to cry. What was she going to do and how was she going to break the news to Ty? And now Sofia had given her no choice, but to do it on the phone. She knew he'd be angry, she would be to if it was her.

Just now that they had managed to slowly rekindle their friendship she had to ruin it. Why did she keep getting herself into these things? Well, what was done was done, she had to call Ty. She felt a huge migraine coming as she picked up the phone and dialed his number with trembling hands. The phone rang a long time before he answered with a sleepy voice.

"Bay" he said curtly.

"Ty, I'm so sorry I couldn't talk to you earlier."

"Yes, I'm sure you have valid reasons for that." He said.

Bay was sure that she could hear some sarcasm in his tone.

"I did and I'll explain in a second. What did you want to tell me?"

"Nothing much except that I got out of bed for the first time on crutches. It's not a big deal I guess."

Bay gasped.

"Really, oh I'm so happy for you! How did it go?"

"It was painful and tiring. That's why I was asleep when you called. But I managed."

"Oh Ty, that's excellent news. I can't wait to see you out of bed on Saturday."

"So, you're still coming?"

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know. I guess after our conversation earlier today that you might have more important things to do."

Bay took a deep breath.

"Ty, that's actually what I'm calling about. I did a terrible thing."

Ty closed his eyes on the other end. He knew it. She'd gotten back with Emmett again. How could he have been so stupid to think that there was nothing going on with them?

"It's Emmett, right?

"Emmett?" Bay asked confused

"What you want to tell me about."

"No it's not Emmett. Oh Ty, you're going to be so angry at me."

"What is it then?" Ty sounded worried.

Bay was sweating, her head was pounding.

"I…I…I called your family in Tulsa." Her voice was shaking.

These was a pause at the other end. A very long pause.

"Ty…are you still there?"

"You did…WHAT?"

"Ty, oh please, please don't be angry. I don't know why I did it. I googled the number and it just seemed like a good idea and then like a bad idea and then I just did it."

"Bay, who do you think you are to be meddling in my family affairs." Ty said in a raised voice.

Bay was crying now.

"I know, I know and I'm so sorry. Oh please, please forgive me."

"I don't believe it." Ty said "I open up to you about something that I won't talk about with anyone and this is how you repay me?" He was still shouting

Bay just sobbed.

"I knew you were going to be so angry. When you called earlier I thought it was Sofia and then I realized it was you and I didn't know what she would say so I didn't want to tell you about it and then she called back and I hoped she would say she didn't want anything to do with you as it all sunk in and now it turns out she wants to see you and I had to tell you and now you're angry and I feel so bad."

Bay hiccupped and was forced to end her monologue.

There was another pause at the other end.

"Who is Sofia?" Ty said between clenched teeth. The fury in his voice was papable.

"She's your sister. She's 20 and she's a Nurse and she takes care of your other siblings, Marco and Laura. Marco is 14 and Laura is 16 and your father and his wife died in a car accident two years ago. She didn't know about you, she suspected something because when she was 10 she overheard an argument between your father and his wife and him saying that he wanted you to come and live with them but his wife didn't want to and nearly overdosed on pills that night. Sofia was too scared to ask after that."

Bay hiccupped again.

"Jesus Bay" Ty sounded so defeated and Bay wanted to slap herself.

"I'm so sorry. Will you ever forgive me?"

"I don't know."

Bay felt the tears running down her face. She sobbed into the phone.

"Ty, Sofia wants to come and see you next weekend. What do I tell her?"

All she heard was a click on the other end. Ty had hung-up the phone. Bay hugged her pillow and sobbed into it.

Here goes another chapter. Most of you wanted the continuation of the family story, so here we go. Let's see how it all pans out. Thank you for the reviews as always, they make my day.
