"I'm your brother," Colt finally says to me and I narrow my eyes.

"That's ridiculous. Seriously, tell me," I chuckle but he only stares at me. Something tells me that he's not kidding but I choose to ignore it.

"Fedora, I'm being perfectly, one hundred percent serious," he states.

"How do you know my name? What are you, some kind of stalker?" I back away from him.

"What's going on?" Will enters the room and demands.

"You can ask your mum. Let me know when you're out of denial and ready to talk," he turns around and leaves, ignoring Will.

"He's crazy." I tell Will what just happened.

"Shit," is all he says.

"I know. Anyway, I don't have time for this. Jules has to be at the airport in an hour. I'll see you you later." I give him a short but passionate kiss and then leave.

Jules isn't there yet when I get home. I sit on my bed, fidgeting with my 'I heart NY' keychain. I get up and start pacing around my room. I decide not to wait any longer and call my mother up.

"Hey mom. How's it going?" I ask, trying to sound casual.

"It's going great, honey!" She tells me all about the stuff that they found in Egypt today. "It's interesting because it was assumed that the last remaining-"

"Do I have a brother?" I ask suddenly, cutting her off. "Other than Wyatt, I mean." I add after she says nothing.

"Wh-who told you that?" She stammers.

"Is it true?" I question, feeling hurt. I expected her to laugh and tell me that I'm being ridiculous. This can't be happening. It just can't.

"It was Augusta, wasn't it? I'm so sorry, honey. I didn't want you to find out this way," she cries.

"So I have another brother?" I repeat, trying to keep my voice still.

"Had. He died a year before you were born. He was only a year old," she's sobbing by now.

"Oh my god. Wyatt had a twin?!" I yell. So it can't be Colt.

"Oh um...no, actually," she says, awkwardly.

"What do you mean? How is that even possible?" I demand.

"I'm so sorry. We wanted to tell the both of you. We just didn't know how!" She cries.

"Tell us what?!" I'm pissed now.

"Wyatt isn't biologically mine," she admits. Oh my god.

"You're not Wyatt's mother. Oh my god." I gasp.

"Now don't be silly. Of course I'm his mother. I'm the one who raised him!" She states.

"Right. So my other brother. Was he biologically yours?" I ask coldly.

"Yes," is all she says.

"And he's dead?" I ask.

"Yes." She starts to cry again.

"I have to go now." I say.

"No! Wait! Please! I'm so-" I hang up. I just can't talk to her right now.

My brother is dead. I don't know if I should be relieved that Colt isn't my brother, or depressed that I never got to meet him. How could my parents keep such a huge secret? What kind of a sicko pretends to be somebody's deceased brother?

"I'm here! Shit, I'm so late," Jules runs in and picks up her suitcase. I quickly book a cab so that we can leave immediately.

"Don't worry, we'll make it in time." I say.

"Woah, Kat, are you okay?" She asks when she looks at me.

"I'm fine," I lie as we head towards the front door. Luckily the cab is already here. The driver takes Julianna's bag and puts it into the boot.

"How did it go with Colt?" She asks.

"It was no big deal. He just wanted an excuse to punch Chase," I continue to lie as I'm not ready to talk to anyone about it yet.

"Oh, okay." She looks disappointed. I guess she expected more. Little does she know how much more there is. Colt is obviously some kind of nut job.

"We're here," I say as we pay the driver and get out of the cab. I'm still not used to how small Riverbrook is. It never takes longer than ten minutes to reach anywhere.

"I'm gonna miss you so much, Jules," I frown.

"I'll be back soon!" She promises. We hug and she goes inside the airport. I wait outside and wave goodbye. I try to stop thinking about what my mom told me but I just can't. Why would Colt say that he's my brother? How does he even know so much?

'Is Andy still out?' I text Will.

Will: Yeah, why?

Kat: Tell Colt that I'm ready to talk to him.

Will: Are you sure?

Kat: Yes.

Will: Okay, I'll see you soon.

I take another cab to go to Will's. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I ring the doorbell. Who does Colt think he is? How can he mess with me like this? What have I ever done to him? Alex answers the door.

"KD! Whatcha doing here? Did Jules leave?" He asks. I guess Will didn't fill him in on what's happening. Will appears behind him.

"Colt's gonna be here anytime now." He says.

"Colt? Why is he coming here? What's going on?" Alex questions, looking clueless just as Colt gets here.

"Hey," He greets.

"My brother is dead," I say coldly to him.

"Wyatt's dead?!" Alex asks, freaking out.

"No. Wyatt's fine." I assure him. Although I wonder if he will be fine when he finds out that his parents have been lying to him his whole life. I'm certainly not fine.

Colt drags me to the other room.

"You know that's not true, don't you?" He demands.

"Who are you and how do you know so much?" I answer his question with a question.

"Kathryn, you know it's not true," He states.

"I know that it is."

"Liar!" He yells. I've never seen him yell before. He always sounds extremely calm. So calm that it's kinda creepy.

"Look," He says, pointing at the mirror in front of us. "I know you can see it, Kat. I know you did the first time you met me. I know you do now. You know. So why deny it?" He whispers. I look at his emerald green eyes, and then I look at mine. They look the same. I look at his long and narrow face, and then I look at mine. I look at my eyes widen in the mirror.

"Exactly," he says, looking satisfied.

"It's not possible. My brother is dead." I protest. Just because we look alike does not mean that we're related.

"No, I'm not."

I don't want to believe him. The last thing I want is to believe him. I can't believe him. It's impossible; my mother clearly said that he's dead. How can he be standing next to me if he's dead? Everything in me is telling me not to believe him.

But deep down...

I know it's true.
