"Uncle Jim this is Patience. Patience this is your uncle Jim" Mike said
The man who stood in front of me had some of my features. I guess its because I look like my dad and my dad looks like this man in front of me. The man reached out his hand.
"Hello Patience"
"Hi" I whispered as I shook his hand.
"Why don't ya'll come in so we can talk" Jim said
Mikey and I walked in and we all went to the living room. I sat next Mikey and Jim sat across from us.
"You look so much like your father" Jim said
"Sorry if I take that remark as an insult." I said back
"I can understand why you would. I don't blame you. I hate my brother for what he did. We were raised better than that"
"I don't get it. Why do I find out now I have a brother?"
"Well last night, Mike came over and talked about your date and he showed me a picture of you. You looked familar and he told me your last name was Corbin. So everything just clicked together and I knew who you were. I then told Mike who you were and thats how you both know you're brother and sister"
I ran my hands through my hair. Mikey wrapped an arm around me.
"Are you okay?" Mikey asked
"This is just alot to take in right now" I said
"I know it is" Mikey said.
There was a long pause.
"What can you tell me about my father" I asked Jim.
"There is alot I can tell you. What did you wanna know?"
"Who was he? What did he do? How many children did he have before he died?"
Meanwhile...Jeff and Matt returned to Cameron and went to Dad's house. They all talked to police and sat there waiting for some sort of news.
"Dad, Where could she be?" Jeff asked with tears in his eyes
"I don't know son, but we will find her"
Back at Jim's House....
"Your dad was the star player on the football team. He was very popular. He got straight A's and he worked at his father's auto body shop. He only had you and Mike. Mike was first. His mother and your dad were boyfriend and girlfriend, but once he found out she was pregnant, he dumped her. About 2 months later, your dad,well you know, and you were born"
"Why would he rape my mom and then try to kill her?"I cried.
"I don't know. I guess we'll never know." Jim said looking down.
"Do you have a picture of my dad?" I asked
"Sure I do" He said getting up and walking to his desk and bring a picture to me. I looked at it.
"He does look alot like me." I said
"You can keep the picture if you want" Jim said
"Thank you" I said
"No problem" He said
"Come on Patience. I'm going to take you to get something to eat since you haven't ate yet." Mike said
I nodded and we got up. We all walked to the door. I turned to Jim.
"Thank you for everything" I said
"Your welcome. "
I started to turn but turned back to Jim when he spoke.
"Patience... I know everything is all hitting you at once and you need time to sort things out, but just remember, I know we just met, but i am here for you."
I nodded. Mikey and I walked back to his car and headed out the driveway and down the road.
"Where did you wanna eat?"
"Can we just go to a park or something?"
"Sure sis"
It was silent on the way there. When we reached the park, we went to the swings. I sat down and he sat down next to me on the other swing.
" Patience, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Will you ever think of me as a brother?"
"I already do. You have been my brother for years now" I smiled
He grabbed my hand and I grabbed his. We smiled at eachother and just started swinging while thinking. It started getting dark. Mikey drove me towards home.
"Drop me off at this corner"
"Why?"
"Because if my dad sees you, he will probably call the cops on you and I don't want you in trouble."
"Okay, but becareful and call me tommmrow okay?"
"Ok bro" I said as I reached over and gave him a hug.
I got out and watched him as he pulled away. I put the picture of my dad in my back pocket and I walked toward home which was about a 1/2 a block away. I saw a cop car in the front of my house. I walked to the door and opened it. I saw Gil, Matt, and Jeff sitting on the couch and an officer sitting in the chair by the couch. They all turned and looked at me.
"PATIENCE!"
Jeff jumpped up and ran to me. He hugged me tightly. I pulled him closer and hugged him tightly. I missed him so much. Everything hit me at once. Me getting a brother and learning more about my dad and Jeff here holding me. I started crying. Jeff picked me up and carried me over to the couch. He sat me in his lap as I cried. Gil rubbed my leg and Matt rubbed my back. Jeff in the mean time stroked my hair. I started to calm down and Jeff wiped away my tears. I then stopped crying and laid my head on Jeff's shoulder and sniffled. The officer came by and knelt in front of us.
"Patience, I'm officer John. What happened today?"
I didn't answer. I only lowered my head and looked down.
"Did anyone hurt you?" the officer said.
I shook my head no.
"Sweetheart, tell us what happened" Gil said
I again shook my head no. I didn't wanna tell them what happened for 2 reasons. First of all, they would have Mikey arrested and second of all I am still in shock, still trying to peice things together. The officer sighed and stood up.
"Mr. Hardy, can I speak with you for a moment?" The officer said.
"Sure" Dad said as he followed the officer to the door.
"We can't do anything unless we know what happen. My suggestion is to have some one, who she trusts and loves the most, talk to her by herself and see if she says anything. When and if she does, give me a call, here's my number, and we'll file a report if nessesary."
"Okay, thanks for all your help"
"No problem sir." The officer said as he left.
Gil walked back to the couch and I was holding on to Jeff while he and Matt tried to soothe me.
"Matt why don't you carry Patience to her bedroom. Jeff can I talk to you for a sec"
"Yea sure" Jeff hesitated to say.
Matt picked me up and took me to my room. Meanwhile...
"Jeffrey, I need you to find out what happened to her. She trusts you and loves you the most. She will tell you anything. Find out what happened."
"Okay dad, I'll try my best."
Jeff came into the room and Matt left. Jeff came over and crawled into bed with me. He stroked my hair.
"Baby, tell me what happened?"
My lips began to quiver and tears ran down my face.
"Mikey, he...he.."
"What about Mikey?"
"He's my brother"
A/N..what will Jeff's reaction be...stay tuned DUN DUN DUN!
