Chapter fifty-something: The Truth Hurts

I giggled. We were finally back home (and I was dressed). Not the hotel. Home. As in my little apartment. I was touching my ears and tail and thinking how cool it was. Brian was stareing off into space and Paul was pacing the floor. I giggled again. This is so cool! I thought to myself. I still wasn't used to Billi not being there. So, some of my happiness died when I thought of that.

"How am I gonna hide this?" I asked and looked at them. Paul stopped pacing long enough to look at me and shrug. Brian snapped out of it and glared at me.

"The truth. Now." He demanded. I glanced at Paul for help. He just stared at me and nodded. I took a deep breath and told Brian everything. The dreams, meeting Paul, , , Logan. Everything. When I was done, he just stared at me.

"My little sister, who I used to look after and help and play with and trusted, let some......freak turn her into a monster?" Brian paused to glare at Paul, "And she kept such a big secreat from me? And, because of this, some psycho kidnapped both of us to preform some twisted experiment on you and turn you into a bigger monster?" Brian said.

"When you put it like that, it sounds bad. And Paul isn't a freak." I muttered and looked at the floor.

"Do you really think I'm a monster?" I whispered, not daring to look up at him.

"Look at yourself! You got ears and a tail! You can't stay out in the sun for too long! You're so pale you don't even look asian anymore! And you drink blood for god's sake!" He shouted. Tears began to form from my eyes, but I wouldn't cry in front of Brian.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked. Brian knew what I meant. Was he still gonna be my big brother or would he walk out of my life. I heard him sigh.

"Lee, you know I love you right? But I don't see how I can be there for you when I don't even know who you are anymore." He said. I heard him get up and felt him give me a hug. I took in a shaky breath and hugged back.

"Goodbye Lee. Maybe someday I'll come see you again." He said, trying to cheer me up. I nodded, knowing if he was gonna do that, it wouldn't be for years. He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you Lee." He said.

"I love you too." I said and let the tears fall. He walked towards the door. Before he opened it, he looked back. He was crying too.

"Bye." He said, then opened the door and walked out of my life.

That's it for now. I'll probably make another one later on today. Sad isn't it? The truth really did hurt. Please review.
