The Brother I Never Knew
Chapter 9

"I want to know why you were really there." Sam said as soon as we got home.
It had been a silent drive home but the second we got there he rounded on me. I couldn’t tell him about the meetings. I enjoyed all those classes, the ones for cancer were my favorite. When people are going to die they have a tendency to be more truthful. I liked hearing people talk about their lives and how they truly feel. The threat of death forces us to realize how short and meaningful life is.
"Sam lets wait till tomorrow." Emily said.
"No they’re lying to us I know it and I want to know why" he said.
"I left the bookstore, I saw Leah coming out from a meeting. We talked; we decided to take a short cut and were almost mugged"
"How’s your arm doing?" Emily asked.
"It stings but I’ll live" I however wouldn't stop.
"Almost mugged? You beat the hell out of those men from Leah said you had her scared and Leah doesn’t scare easily".
I guess Leah saw a larger part of my true self then I realized.
"Well they pulled knives on us and they needed to be taught a lesson" I defended myself.
"Where did you learn to fight?" Emily asked.
"I used to go to a dojo." If the streets count as a dojo. One of my mom’s boyfriends knew martial arts and he taught me a few things before she dumped him.
"Listen I’m tired can I go to bed now? My arm hurts." I said playing the sympathy card.
"Fine" Sam said "But we'll talk about this tomorrow." Persistent bastard.

I was still fuming when we went to bed. It was Jared’s night to patrol so I would get some sleep tonight.
"Oh calm down Sam." Emily said as she read one of her romance books.
"I know they’re lying."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I was in her head for months I know how she thinks and I know when she lies. I have to admit tho he's pretty good at lying"
"Ok so maybe they weren’t telling us the whole truth does it really matter as long as there ok?"
"Yes it matters Em. He's my brother I’m responsible for him I need to know he’s not getting into trouble"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Tomorrow I’m calling Jake and talking to him about this. If Leah is going to be causing nothing but trouble for him then I don’t want her around him."

I woke up the next morning. I went into the bathroom to get a shower. I took the bandage off to check on the wound.
"What the hell?" I said.
There was no wound. Not a scratch. That was impossible! It happened last night and it was pretty deep. This was one of the many strange things that was happening to me. My growth spurt, my increase in body temperature and now this. What was happening to me?
Fusedtwilight: Sorry this was soooo short I promise the next one will be longer.
