Tyra's POV:
Oh my god what have I done? I mean when I ran away nine years ago I didn't think things would turn out this way or so drastically for my siblings or anyone else in my life. I mean I knew people weren't going to take it well but I never thought that the consequences would be this terrible. I mean my one little action not only made my dad go overboard protective to the point of massively over bearing and making my brothers miserable, but it apparently helped break up a marriage, got my youngest brother thrown out by their own mother eventually to suffer the consequences I caused, and they were only eleven and thirteen. But, i have a feeling there is more and I'm too scared to ask. How was I supposed to know that a decision I made when I just sixteen and didn't know much of anything outside of what I was taught was going to have such drastic measures taken.
All, my other brothers must hate me with a burning passion by now. If nothing else because I just left. I didn't leave any explanation for any of them to understand why I did what I did. I mean I did for Xaiver and Javier. But, why didn't I leave simple little notes for Angelo, Sean, James, Alex, Brandon and Eric. I guess I wasn't really thinking much at that time with my brain other then I couldn't take it any more and I had to escape and figure things out on where I wanted to be. Ok now is not the time for self pity and recrimination. Now, I need to hear the rest of the story. But Xaiver standing in front of me, holding me still and looking me dead in the eye doesn't really entice me to ask about the rest is I need to know. Because, his eye's say there is more that I'm not gonna like hearing and he hates having to the one to bring it to me and tell me.
So, I mentally shake myself. I take a deep almost audible shacky breath in and let it out as I manage to squeeze out the words I feel almost suffocated in saying " What else is there that you haven't said yet Xaiver because everything you just told me happened years ago according to both of you. So, that can't be what is going on on Lynn's side that I supposedly need to know about now." Xaiver looks at me shakes his head to indicate that no he hasn't told me everything yet. Then, he takes a couple of steps back and starts to speak again " well, after Lynn threw the boy's out she was stable for a short time then hooked up with a dead beat guy that she claimed was an amazing person who saw her, understood her, understood her values, he was supposedly traveling parish who fell in love with her. Well, any way that turned out to be total bullshit. He was a Mercenary sent to keep eye out for you in case you turned up by a rival club. In, the mean time he convinced her he loved her. She got pregnant not a year after they got together. She had a little girl named Jasmine she just turned six years old. But the guy took off before she turned one. Lynn completely went off the rocker then and not only tried to kill herself but Jasmine on more then one occasion and now DCF has taken Jasmine away from her but none of Lynn's family can or wants to take Jasmine in. Your Grandpa does but he has been severely sick with heart and lung conditions that put him in the hospital every couple of months for a couple of weeks at a time before he spends a couple weeks at a rehab."
I have a six year old little sister that my mom tried to kill just because the little girls dad left her??!!!! Really?! And , now that same little girl is in the system because the supposed good catholic people in her family don't want a six year old innocent little girl. What was Lynn thinking? This is all that is going through my head until it registered that Xaiver said grandpa ahs also been super sick and my mind feel's like it is reeling. " So, what you saying is there are now nine of us and the youngest is a six year old little girl. When the next one in line before is what thirteen years older than her. Lynn tried to kill a innocent little girl more then once, and now she is in the system and non of the good law abiding, appropriate , catholic people in her family except grandpa who can't for health reason's wants her? Is that all correct so far that I repeated?" I ask. Xaiver nods in agreement and I know he can tell I'm pissed but I also know he is just happy I haven't punched him in the face yet.
" So, now I have to ask what do Brandon and Eric think about this before I even begin to contemplate the situation?" I ask as calmly as possible. Javier jumps in at this point to kind of give Xaiver a break from all the talking and grilling more than likely at this point. Javier says " the boys didn't know anything about her until grandpa called and told them after the state went and took her from Lynn. But, once they heard they had another sister and she was only six they wanted to know her. They, even tried to find out about becoming her legal guardians but they got told that they weren't qualified because they are full time college students on scholarship and Xaiver and I and all your other siblings help cover the bills and food so they can study and go to class. But answer you question they want her in the family and they want to know her and help her grow up with no issue's. But, now my Queen the real question is, What exactly are you gonna do and how are you gonna go about handling all of this s**t storm we laid bare at your feet without warning? And, where do we start?"
