Chapter 2: Something He Doesn't Know I Found Out
He sat down.
That scared me more than if he'd gotten angry.
"I didn't want you to find out this way."
"Find out WHAT, Tyler?"
He looked at the table for a long moment.
"I went to the doctor in March.
I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you until I knew for sure."
I felt the floor shift under me.
"Know what for sure?"
"The results came back last week." He finally looked up.
"That's why I met your sister.
I needed someone to help me figure out how to tell you."
I couldn't speak.
"She's known this whole time?"
"Only for a few days.
I made her promise not to say anything until after her birthday.
I didn't want to ruin it for her."
My hands were shaking.
"Tyler.
What did the results say?"
He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper.
He set it on the table between us.
I looked at it.
I looked at him.
And then my phone rang.
It was my sister.
I picked up without thinking.
Before I could say a word, she said:
"Did he tell you?
Because there's something else.
Something he doesn't know I found out."
