Posting another chapter for you all today because I have to be up at work for 6:30am tomorrow morning so won't have time to post tomorrow morning. Enjoy!
BRAX'S POV:
"Okay, I picked Case up from school and we're here. What's the emergency?" Heath asked as he and Casey walked in the front door later that afternoon
"You both need to sit down. I've got some news." I informed them
"Is it about Mum?" Casey questioned as he dumped his bag by the door
"Nah, mate." I replied
"Then what is it?" Heath inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
I glanced at Ricky who was stood in the kitchen entryway and sighed… "We've got a brother…"
"What?!" Heath and Casey questioned in unison
"It's Kyle, my new waiter." I informed them
"Is that why you hired him? Because you knew?" Heath asked
"No," I replied "I only found out today. I saw him and Mum talking and I confronted him on it."
"And he just blurted it out?" he inquired "who's to say he's telling the truth?"
"He might not be, which is why I've sent him away." I informed him "I want us to get our heads around it so I can decide what to do."
"Don't you think that should be a decision the three of us make?" he suggested, raising an eyebrow at me
"Do you want to get to know him?" I questioned
"I don't know, maybe," he replied "Casey might too. You can't just make this decision for all three of us, Brax."
"Well when you two have decided what you wanna do, let me know, yeah?" I inquired
They nodded their heads, signalling yes and I stood up and left the room, making my way into mine and Ricky's bedroom…
RICKY'S POV:
I watched Heath and Casey for a minute more as they let the news Brax had just told them sink in and then made my way into the bedroom, sighing as I saw Brax sat on the end of our bed, his head in his hands…
"Brax…" I whispered, breaking the silence
"I'm okay." he assured me, lifting his head quickly
"You're a terrible liar," I chuckled as I moved to kneel in front of him "always have been, always will be."
"I wish I knew how I felt about this," he admitted "but I don't. I don't know how to feel about the fact that we have another brother because for so long it's just been me, Heath and Case. To add someone new into the mix of that, it'd be wrong."
"Maybe you should say that to them then?" I suggested, raising an eyebrow at him
"But Kyle's not got anyone…" he sighed "He's come here from Melbourne and wants to get to know us, wants to get to know his brothers. Shouldn't we give him that?"
"That's something the three of you have to decide together." I informed him "I tell you what, how about I go and get the kids from Irene's and take them to the diner? That way it gives you all a chance to let everything sink in and possibly have a chat. What do you say?"
"I don't want you to feel as though you're being pushed away…" he admitted
"I don't." I assured him "I know this is something you three have to work through together."
"I do love you, you know that, right?" he questioned
"I do. And I love you too." I informed him, leaning forwards and kissing him softly
So Heath and Casey know about Kyle and all three brothers are struggling to get their heads around it. What do you think they'll decide?
