Raising Chandler

Unlucky

I felt hot, fast tears roll down my cheeks as I stared in disbelief at my uncle. I was numb as I pushed the car door open and stepped out. I started to run. I didn't know where I was, or where I was going, but at this point I didn't care. It seemed I didn't know anything these days anyways. I didn't look back. I ran towards the sounds of the ocean. That's the good thing about where we live; no matter where you are, the ocean is near you. I ran in silence, concentrating on both the sound of the waves gently rushing up over the shore, as well as the steady sound of my feet hitting the pavement. I heard the sound of my steps change as I reached the sand, and I ran into the water.

Had I taken one more step, I'd have been in over my head - literally - but Jaime caught me before I could step off the sand shelf. The tears came faster and I mentally cursed myself for being such a baby about the situation. Jaime walked me back through to the shore, while comfortingly rubbing my back. We slowly walked back to the car. Before we got in, Jaime pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry I waited so long to tell you the truth, it's been eating me alive," he whispered quietly. I was a little mad at him, well, at everyone, at first, but now I see he only lied to save me from the suffering that the rest of my family was going through. "It's alright, I love you Uncle Hime," I replied, then pulled away from the hug to see him wearing a broken smile. "I love you too Chan," he whispered, then we both got into the car and headed home.

The closer we got to my little fucked-up home, the angrier I became with Jack and Lilly. When we got there, I started to get out of the car, but Jaime grabbed my arm. "Don't be angry, Chandler. They are doing the best they can for you," he said. I nodded, rolling my eyes and proceeding. I went in through my window and went straight to my bedside table, where a picture of Jack, Lilly, Aubrey and I sat. I picked it up and threw it out the window and collapsed on my bed. I did know my twin sister, but only for the first few years of our lives. I knew who Vic and Alli were, they were my parents, and I reminded Lilly of my parents. That's why she cried.

I shut my eyes tightly and flopped onto my bed. Everything about the past few days replayed in detail in my mind. I saw my mom, er, Lilly, crying into Jack's chest. I noticed the puffiness of her cheeks, the red around her eyes, and the tears welling up in Jack's. I saw the concern and weariness in Jaime's eyes when he greeted me the morning we went for pancakes. I saw the same in his eyes tonight in the car. I saw the moonlight reflecting off of his tanned and tear-stained face, the small pink lines that were painted on his inner forearm. I never realized how broken my uncle was until now. How sad my step-mother was. How strong my step-father was, and how completely oblivious to all of this Aubrey was.

Aubrey knew nothing of my past and the secrets her parents held from her. Part of me wanted to run to her, to cover her ears and eyes and shield her from all of this, but the logical part of me knew that she'd find out anyways. My poor, corrupted and broken family. Thirteen starts a new life.
