Chapter 43: Fix-it-Felix to Chasity’s rescue Felix We got back to our room and all saton the bed. Alex had his to-do-list face on: placate Chasity, check.

Calix had his biggest puppy-dog eyes on display.

Those two had dragged me into this dishonest mess unwittingly.

I wanted to make one thing clear.

"I’m angry too, you know," I said, not looking at anyone in particular.

I faced my brothers.

I took a deep breath.

I could not believe them.

The audacity.

"Since when do we keep secrets from each other?" I asked, glaring at them.

Alex and Calix looked at me, their guilt leaking into their expressions.

They exchanged a glance.

What? Were they mind-linking without me now too? You better not be mind-linking behind my back! Orin front of my face or whatever! You know what mean! I snapped.

Tm sorry, Felix," said Alex out-loud, his jaw set.

He seemed genuine.

"Sorry, Felix," mumbled Calix, looking at the floor.

I softened a little but I was still livid.

My Baby was quiet.

"We thought you'd blab to Chasity!" Calix confessed.

"Yeah, except you blabbed to Chasity," Alex pointed out.

Ha! "I deserve to know," said Chasity softly but firmly.

She was getting more assertive and i was glad about that but this was one ofthose things she should not even have to ask of us.

We had so many things to work through.

We could not pile secret-keeping on top of that "Of course, you do," admitted Alex, keeping his voice low andhis tone gentle.

alone like Calix on I half-wished she was more upset with them.

I deserved to be in here with her Christmas Day.

I sulked quietly while Alex tried to comfort Chasity.

Alex

I felt awful.

I hope Chasity knew how remorsefull was.

I just wanted to hold her so badly.

I hoped she would not push me away this time.

I drew her to me slowly, pulling her onto my lap and into my arms.

I just needed her to know how much I wanted her to notice me as pathetic as that might sound.

I just wanted an unencumbered shot at her love, which was technically already impossible because of our history together.

When Dad told me this particular secret, about Chasity’s Dad being the stepbrother of

Alex

Everyone waslooking at me.

I met my Luna’s eyes.

I almost wished I knew.

I wanted to give her a satisfying answer.

She deserved one.

"I don't know," I said apologetically.

I just hoped that she believed me.

She seemed to.

"We really don’t," said Calix in earnest, backing me up.

Felix shrugged.

He had been none the wiser about any of this.

"Do your parents know?" Asked Chasity.

"They might," I said hopefully.

Calix nodded.

"So your Mom really cared about my Dad even though he was just her stepbrother?" Inquired Chasity.

I looked at Calix.

He had recently told me about that day, about how he had watched Mom sink to her knees in the snow and cry as the cardrove away.

That had been the day I had first laid eyes on Chasity.

She had been such a tiny thing with pink cheeks and a pink nose with goldenskin and golden curls and brown doe eyes.

"Yeah, she was devastated when he drove away and left you." confessed Calix.

She had thought he was coming back into her life after being estranged because of her dislike for your Momonly for him to leave again, skip town and leave you behind on her porch." Chasity flinched.
