When I woke the next morning Jake wasn't beside me. I wasn't even sure he was in the house. I had showered and got ready for school and was currently finishing off my coffee.

I wanted to leave early so I could stop for some breakfast before my exam. I was nervous but I wasn't. I was quite confident with English but I knew this exam was going to be hard. Placing my mug in the sink I grabbed my bag and my jacket and headed out. I had to walk to my house and pick up my car.

I prayed I wouldn't run into my gran. I still didn't know what to say to her. How do we even talk about what I found out last night?

In my head it was never going to be the same again.

She lied, lied to me for the full eighteen years I had been alive. How do we go back to the way we were? It had always just been me and my gran and now I wasn't sure I could trust anything she said. We didn't keep secrets.

Feeling the chill in the air I pulled my jacket tight across my body as I crossed the street. It was still early so when I reached my house it didn't surprise me that her car was still in the drive. I had my keys so there was no need to go inside.

It was like she was waiting on me showing up. The front door was pulled open. My gran stood fully dressed with a cup in her hand. Wait had she been to sleep?

"Please come in for some coffee. We need to talk".

"I have to get to school". I couldn't afford to be distracted before my exam.

"Well how about after school?".

I felt terrible. I didn't want there to be this divide between us. I knew I had to give her the chance to explain.

"I can meet for lunch?". I suggested.

"Great. How about that little coffee shop?".

"Okay I'll see you then".
