This chapter is in Jasons point of view! Hope you guys enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Jasons POV)
I continued to hug her: my sister.
Sister.
I definitely won't get tired of saying that word.
I guess now I know why I felt so protective over her. One part being the fact that she's my sister and the other being the fact that I'm her Protector.
Words can't explain the happiness I'm feeling right now.
I have a sister for heavens sake!
One that I never knew existed until a couple of minutes ago.
An Empathine's vision never lies, no matter what, so every vision she has is completely true.
Tha fact that I have a sister is overwhelming yet blissful.
I knew there was just something about her when we first started hanging out when we were young.
Yes, I felt protective over her even then but, to be frank, I also felt like I was connected to her somehow but I never acted on the intuition.
However, I can't help but let all the happiness fade away into the air as I mull everything over.
I have a sister who, in a way, grew up without me or a family.
Sure, I was always there when she was growing up but now it's different.
I feel like I had abandoned her. I feel like I wasn't there for her, as a brother, when she most needed me. I feel like...I've disappointed mum.
I pull away from her, not meeting her eyes.
From the corner of my eyes I can see Katherine frowning at me as her eyes roam every inch of my face.
I hear her sigh, the frown still plastered on her face, as she speaks.
"Jason, what's wrong?" she asks sounding worried.
Guilt enveloped me like a blanket.
If I wasn't a bad brother before, I'm defiantly a bad brother now. I'm making her worried for no reason whats so ever.
I move over to sit on the side of the bed, my legs criss crossed, from my standing position.
"Nothing's wrong. What are you talking about?" I ask her, trying to sound oblivious to what she is asking, as a smile suddenly plasters itself on my face.
However, I've made a fatal mistake. Tiny yet fatal.
She uses three of her fingers, on her right hand, to lift my chin resulting in my head being lifted to face her.
I hadn't looked her in the eyes when speaking, and that was the fatal mistake.
"What's wrong?" she asks again, but this time her voice was firmer.
Her eyes, yet again roam my face, and in return mine roams hers. She looks just like mum. Everything about her is exactly like her, apart from the eyes of course. I guess she's got them from her father.
I snap out of my thoughts about mum as I hear her call my name.
"Come on Jason. You can tell me anything and you know that so stop holding your feelings back. You shouldn't have to hide them, especially from your sister" she teases.
At this I smile.
I run a hand through my hair shaking my head at her before a frown appears on my face amd I l look down at my lap.
A long sigh leaves me as I will myself to speak.
"I'm such a bad brother" I whisper.
At this, she frowns and her eyebrows crease together.
"What do you mean you're a bad brother? I mean, you only found out now so how can you be a bad brother?" she asks confused yet you can hear the worry in her voice.
Another sigh leaves me before I look up to meet her eyes.
"I should've known. I should've been there for you...through everything! I should've been the shoulder for you to cry on and the person to comfort you when you most needed it when your adoptive parents passed. The first few days, when I spent time with you, I felt...like there was a connection. Not in the way like you feel when you really like somone or anything like that, but in the way like you were part of my life somehow. I felt like you were connected to me in more than one way, other than the fact that we were neighbours. You look like mum for f*cks sake!" I screamed, but not in anger.
I was ashamed of myself.
Her mouth is gaping at me and I know she's speechless from my outburst, but I continued.
"It's my duty as your brother to keep you safe and protect you, but I couldn't even get that right" I say looking abck down at my lap.
"She'd be so dissapointed in me...I couldn't take care of my only sister" I whispered.
Silence followed and nothing could be heard other than our breathing and our heartbeats.
I felt completely and utterly mortified and vexed.
Finger, yet again, found my chin and lifted my face.
Katherine gazed at me softly and understandingly.
She slowly let her hand drop and began speaking.
"Jason, I know why you feel like this. I would be feeling the same way if I was in your position" she chcuckled before continuing, "but you have to understand that you couldn't have been there for all the time. Heck! You didn't even know I was your sister so how could you be a bad brother! If anything you're the best brother any girl could ask for. You were always there when I was growing up and maybe you don't see it as you being there as a brother, but I did. I thought of you as my brother then and I definately think of you as my brother now. Nothing more and nothing less" she says smiling at me.
I couldn't help but smile back before she continued.
"As for the protecting part, you did and still do protect me. Who beat up my first ever boyfriend, when I was 14 because he broke up with me?" she asked with mischief in her eyes.
I couldn't help but grin now.
"Me" I replied.
"And who came at the right time with that creepy drunk dude started talking to me?"
"Me."
"Who showed me self defence mover after that amd helped me train?"
"Me" I sighed, shaking my head with a grin still painted on my face.
"And, fianlly, who saved me from him" she whispered with a gental smile on her lips.
At this my jaw clenches, the smile disappearing, and she reaches out to squeeze my hand reassuringly.
"The point is Jason, no matter what, you were always there protecting me whether you realised it or not" she finished off.
Once she finished I pulled her into a hug tightly.
"Thank you" I whispered, as a small smile graced my lips.
"Your welcome" she chuckled before pulling away from me.
"And for the record, I know for a fact that mum would be proud of you."
"And how do you know that?" I asked smiling.
"I dont know, but I just do" she smiles, in which I return her smile.
