Secrets-01

Arella

I COULDN’T believe this was happening. From Skip leaving, Brett being mad at me, and the one thing I hid from them was finally out of my chest. And to worsen the scenario, I just broke their trusts. I lost Skip, and there was no way he was going to forgive me after what he just found out. Well, he didn’t get to hear the full story.

/"And you didn’t even try telling us after all these years?/" Brett’s vein bulged against his neck. His face was red with rage. And it didn’t end there. /"I can’t believe you were keeping this from Nana. You were always honest to her and to us for fuck’s sake, Arella!/" He walked out of the kitchen, leaving me with Mom, Dad, and Lorcan.

/"Here, sweetheart./" Mom offered me a mug of hot chocolate sprinkled with hazelnuts. My hands were trembling as I wrapped around the mug. The thought of how I was going to start was nerve-racking.
