Charlie POV
"I don't think we should tell her." I heard my mom say.
" She has the right to know." My dad said.
I walked downstairs to find out was happening.
"We have kept it from her for this long, we can do it for a little while longer." My mom said.
"She deserves to know that we aren't her real parents." My dad said.
I stood there shocked. This had to be a lie. This had to be a sick joke.
"She deserves to know where her brother lives as well." My dad said.
"No. She doesn't need to know." My mom insisted.
I walked in the room and looked at them with a blank expression on my face.
" How much of that did you hear sweetie?" My dad asked me.
" All of it. Please tell me that this is a sick joke of some kind." I said.
" I'm sorry Charlie but it is true. I wanted to tell you sooner but your mom wouldn't let me." My dad said to me.
" What happened to my real parents?" I asked.
" They had two children already and you came as a surprise. They couldn't afford two so they had to give you up." My dad explained.
" Can I have my brothers address?" I asked my dad.
" Yes. Here is the only picture of you and him together." My dad gave me the picture.
He then wrote down the address.
"Please stay." My mom begged.
" I have to meet my brother. Heck, if he likes me I might even move in with him." I told them.
" Go on and pack your things. Live your life." My dad told me.
" Thanks." I told him as I hugged him.
I ran up to my room and threw everything into my suitcase. I grabbed my bag and put my phone, purse and earplugs inside it.
I zipped up my coat and walked downstairs with my suitcase and bag.
I hugged my mom and dad.
" I'll try to stay in touch." I told them.
" Have a safe journey. We love you." My mom and dad said. I opened the door, waved goodbye and was off on my journey to find my brother.
I arrived at the train station and was immediately met with an ocean of people.
I fought my way through the crowd of people and then reached my train. I got on the train and it was just about to leave when I spotted a tall guy running towards the train.
I stood from my seat and shouted at the conductor.
" Stop. Wait for him."
The conductor listened and stopped the train from leaving.
The guy got on the train and sat next to me.
" Thanks. Not many people would have done that." The guy told me.
" No problem. My name is Charlie, what's yours?" I said holding my hand our for him to shake.
He shock my hand and said
"My name is Dan. Nice to meet you."
"Where are you heading?" He asked me.
" London. What about you?" I asked him.
