IDRIS
Once Jack left the apartment, I sat on the ottoman, with the report in my name. The first I saw was his name and mine. Idris Hunter, Jack Hunter. He doesn’t have a ring on his finger, Sam called him dad, Alex called him brother, and we both share the same surname and we aren’t married yet. The way he looks at me tells me how close we were, how much he loved me, how much he cared about me.
“Idris,” Alex shakes me, bringing me to the earth.
I shake my head, “Alex you both are married?” I ask, I don’t want to hide it anymore. The questions piling in my head.
He laughs amusingly. “Jesus, Idris. You thought... Jack and I were... married?” He says between laughing.
They look cute together, and there is some understanding between them it seemed, “Umm... Is that wrong?” I ask.
He tries to control his laugh but he couldn’t, “Don’t ever tell this in front of Jack, If someone told this, they would have been bleeding on the floor,” He says casually.
That’s what he is doing? Making everyone bleed? “Wha..”
“He is my adopted brother,” He says finally.
I nod, expecting more from him. “He didn’t have a surname, when we adopted him, he didn’t want to take ours. And he wanted to share yours, so he took it.” He explained.
“Before marriage?” I don't know what had happened in my life but I want to know.
He nods, “He took your surname while you are in love, it’s just suited him well.” He says.
“How long had we been in love?” If Sam didn’t call Jack and Alex daddy, I would have thought that Jack and I were a thing.
He shakes his head, “No, You have to ask Jack I can’t answer any of that. And you know he is a very private person,” He says.
I sighed, He didn’t say his name, how would he tell me about his past, “Hey, Talk to Him, He loves you very much,” He says.
“I don’t know him,” I say the truth, I know he is sad but… “I don’t know you either,” I say, feeling sad for pretending to know him before.
He nodded his head, “I know, Jack told me about it, But I don’t have much idea about it, even though my dad knows a lot about you and your condition,” He says smiling.
He is easygoing, “Who is your dad?” I ask.
He raised his eyebrows, “Seriously?” He asks. What does he mean by it?
“Mathew O'Connor, Your neurosurgeon, He is my father,” He says.
Do I know him? I never heard of that name, Then it clicked me, “Matt is your dad,” I remember his name on the office table.
“Yeah, Jordan is my mother and Jack is my brother, Sam is my son. Only my son. Not Jack’s.” he says.
I giggled at his words, “Sorry for that,” I say
“How long have I been in a coma?” I ask.
He took the report from me, “What else did you see in this report?” He asks, turning the pages.
“I couldn’t see anything after I saw the names,” I admit.
He nods, “You can ask it to Jack,” He says again,
“He won’t tell me,” I say
He laughs, “What did you ask him?” He asks.
I didn’t answer him, “Go and ask him, He would love to talk to you,” He says
I can understand him, he wants me to be with his brother but I’m just… Everyone feels like a stranger to me. “Okay,” I say after I know he is also like his brother.
“Idris,” He calls me when I turned my heel.
“What?” I ask.
“It’s good to see you talk, as much as it is sad for you, it is the same for Jack too. So..”
I nod, “ I will talk to him,” I say and walked to my room as fast as I could
