"I'll leave you." Charlie said as he opened the door.

"Thanks, Charlie." Cal replied without looking up.

As soon as Charlie had left closing the door behind him Cal sat back down on the sofa. Putting it off wouldn't make it any better. Not wanting to wait any longer he opened the letter and read the words in front of him.

Dear Cal,

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to walk out on you when you were trying to explain everything to me. I just needed time to be alone. I know I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. I was shocked as I'm sure you were too when you read the results. You told me before the reason why you didn't tell me when you found out was because you needed to find out who you were and who we were. Well, I'll tell you who you are. You, Cal Knight are the most wonderful big brother anyone could ask for. And although I know you don't always show it I know you care. I couldn't ask for a better brother. I know I may be the annoying little brother but, I've always looked up to you. I still do. I just want you to know that whatever you decide to do then that's fine. If you want to find your real mother, your real brother then I accept that. But, for me knowing that my whole life has been a lie too I can't go on. I don't know where I belong anymore. At least you know. So please forgive me. You'll always be my big brother.

Love,

Ethan

Tears fell down as Cal finished reading the letter. Ethan had said at least he knew where he belonged but, to be honest he didn't. Everything Cal had knew had been a lie too. His mum wasn't his real mum and the mum, who gave birth to him hadn't even bothered to contact him. No, with Ethan was where he knew he belonged. Ethan had been his only family growing up and was still his only family. He didn't even know if he wanted to find his real mum. She was the one who, decided to give him up. And if his mum hadn't adopted him he would never have had the chance to have Ethan as his little brother. Realising his blood group was different scared Cal more than anything because he was didn't want to lose him as his brother. Cal wiped away his tears. He needed to tell Ethan that he was going to be there for him. He would never leave him. Cal stepped out of the staffroom and saw the team standing in front of him. They all smiled at him sadly.

"What is it?" Cal asked a knot tightening in his stomach.

Zoe walked over to him. She placed a hand gently on his arm.

"Cal, I am so sorry."
