9 Confused!!! { 4 }

I swore it was not an imagination my other side said. I shook my head and ran out of the door trying to find Ryan.

I ran down the hall until I heard shouting. "FATHER YOU CAN'T DO THIS -" I heard Ryan shouting at the top of his voice.

I walked towards the door and leaned on it. "Shhhh, keep it down son." I heard Mr. George whispering.

"DAD!!! IT IS TOO EARLY. SHE IS GOING TO FREAK OUT!" Ryan exclaimed and I am damn sure that the word 'she' was referred to me.

"No, honey. It is not too early. She has to know about it." Another voice said.

By the high pitch voice, I know it was of Mrs. George.

"SHE IS GOING TO THINK THAT WE ARE MONSTERS!!!" Ryan said.

'What in the world are they talking about???' I thought, completely confused.

"NO! I AM NOT GOING TO LET HER TAKE THE MEDICINE YET! I AM GOING TO -" Ryan said, but was cut off.

"Ryan! Listen!" Mr. George exclaimed

"Listen to me! I will decide when I want to tell her and I decide when she should eat the medicine - which is today. And I don't think it is too early." Mr. George's voice sounded like he was mad at his son's silly objection.

Then, the next thing I know is that the door swinged open and I was about to fall sideways due to sudden action. The fall seem slow, like it was on purpose for me to see everything.

And this time, I swear I was seeing Ryan's eyes were silver, instead of deep green and when I was about to fall, Ryan made one swift move and caught me with his one arm. My eyes widen to stare into his eyes, but just like one swift of movement, the eyes changed back to green.

I peeled my eyes away from his 'so called green eyes' and looked at the arm that was hold me. Everything seem so slow. Deliberately so slow for me to see all the details, until I broke it apart.

I got off of Ryan's arm and straighten myself up. I saw him holding my old medicine in his hand. Than I looked at his eyes again and took a step back.

"You know half of what you need to know." Ryan said staring into my eyes.

My mouth was dry, hard for me to speak with my voice stuck in my throat. I continue staring at him, not saying anything.

"Let's have a conversation." Mr. George spoke, but I didn't dared to tear my eyes off Ryan, in case I see another thing.

Ryan walked towards me and tried to hold my hand, but I snatched it away. I turned around and looked at his whole family.

"We can talk about it, Jennifer." Ryan said worriedly.

I slowly sat down on a seat, making sure my legs could still hold me up. Everyone took a seat and I could feel my heart beating quickly in my ears. I clenched my fists.

"Ok, let's talk about it before it is too late." Mr. George said.

Everyone stared at me. Then there was a long uncomfortable silence in the room.

"You know the medicine that I have gave you?" Mr. George asked.

I nodded slowly.

He took in a sharp breath.

"You know what dad, let's not talk about this." Ryan said and he turned towards me,"Let's drop this and pretend nothing happened."

I stared at him. I have a feeling it has something to do with my birth and who I am. I got a feeling they were keeping a secret from me. As much as I wanted to say 'yes', I said, "No."

Ryan stared at me and had gone pale. "I don't think we can drop this until I find out. If it is something about my birth or who I am, I am going to find out. I want to know it, WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT ME? " I said. Then there was silence.

I just want to scream at them to tell me, because this was taking forever, until Mr. George started talking, "I guess we have to tell her."
