Chapter 20

• Ernie's P.O.V
• After dad bailed me out, I told mum I didn't feel like talking about it just yet and I promised that we would be talking about it tomorrow or later. I just wanted to be left alone for a little while. I didn't mean to hit him, it's just that he was insulting mum and saying horrible things about her and dad's relationship because apparently, he and mum went to high school together. I knew that mum had me at an early age and that there is an age difference between mum and dad but he mentioned something about twins. Mum never told me that I was part of a set of twins or maybe this guy just wanted me to think of things and wanted to make me mad enough so he could get rid of me and get his son in my position.
• As I walked up the stairs my intentions were to go straight to my room and think about everything that bastard had to say and to think about how I would be asking mum about this. Dad wouldn't answer me. I learned that the hard way. I once, when I was still little, asked him why I couldn't have a little sister and he absolutely freaked out. I was so scared of him that I hid in my room for a week.
