Lives. Then Grandpa Nicholas reviled he had cancer. Then to top it all off
Wyatt told him he still wasn't comfortable there. So what will this chapter
hold?

	Well I would tell you... or I could just let it play out... I Think

	WLTU – Chapter 10 – Scars


	Weeks had gone by since Grandpa Nicholas' news. The surgery was
successful and he had started chemotherapy. Talon and Wyatt had been to
everyone they were allowed to go to.

	Wyatt had even had a conversation with Diana and Kenneth. He told
them that he still felt something missing in their home. They offered their
encouraging words and said if he needed anything just to say something.

	Caitlyn had been listening to the conversation and decided she
would do something for her older brother. She had a project coming up on
her favourite family member. She decided to change it up a bit by making it
her newest family member.

	Luckily for the High school students they had a day off the day of
Caitlyn presentation. Her class was using the Auditorium and was allowed to
bring any of their family members to the school for the presentations.

	When she got up on stage she looked out and spoke clearly. "I
decided to do my project a little differently. The criteria was to do it on
your favourite family member, but I couldn't decide. So I went with
something else: My newest family member."

	Wyatt looked over at his mom, "What!?"

	"Shh, just listen."

	Caitlyn smiled, "See my parents decided to adopt my brother Wyatt
just over a year ago. And overheard him saying he felt something missing, I
thought I would do my project on him. That and I wanted to get to know him
better.

	"So for the past few weeks I have been hassling him with random
questions without him knowing what was going on." The audience laugh as
Wyatt blushed. "I learned his favourite subject is science cause he loves
chemistry. His favourite food is Butter chicken cause he loves spicy food,
and LOVES chicken

	"But I think What I found the most interesting about my brother
Wyatt was that when ever I bugged him he would answer all my questions. I
love how patient he is. He reminds me of my Grandpa Nicholas who was also
adopted.

	"He would always ask me 'why are you asking me ridiculous questions
then writing down the answers?'" Wyatt rolled his eyes as Caitlyn tried to
mimic his voice. "I would always answer the same, 'I'm researching you!'
then run away." Once again the audience laughed

	"Every time I would come back, it would be the same. Random
ridiculous questions and then me running away. He would always answer them
honestly though. Even questions like, 'What's your favourite Asian
country?'

	"Basically what I'm saying is that My brother Wyatt is special to
me, now more than ever. I know if I need someone to talk to I have him. He
might be 'new,'" She even did the quotation marks, "But I love him just as
much as any of my other siblings."

	With that Caitlyn bowed and made her way off stage. Wyatt met her
in the isle of the seats. "All those questions for this?"

	"I had to make sure you didn't catch on to what I was up to!"
Caitlyn smiled, "So how is that 'something missing'?"

	Wyatt smiled, "I think it's filled a bit more, thank you."

	"Anytime Big bro!"

	Slowly everyone had given Wyatt a little something. Kayla ended up
apologizing for her behaviour in the beginning. Wyatt also forced Diana and
Kenneth to take some of his money he has obtained and go out for
dinner. They reluctantly took his money, but didn't spend it.

	A few more weeks past in the Luis household. Thanksgiving and
Halloween came and past, all was calm in The Luis household. That is until
there was a knock at the door.

	It was Talon who answered it. As he opened the door he said,
"Hello, how can I help you?" out of reflex.

	"We are looking for Wyatt Luis." Talon looked at the pair. The
couple appeared to be in their early thirties.

	The male was taller, only by a few inches. His dirty blonde hair
neatly brushed. The woman was shorter, with Brown hair. Both had brown
eyes, both looked familiar some how.

	"Wyatt is at his friends right now. Can I take a message?"

	Diana called from the kitchen, "Talon who's at the door?"

	"It's..." Talon called back, "wait ya, who are you?"

	The male responded, "We are Wyatt's birth parents."

	Talon looked at them once and he knew they were right. Only they
could produce the one he called his older brother. "One moment."  Talon ran
to his mom shock written all over his face, "Mom... Uhhh door?"

	"Who is it?" Diana turned around, "Talon, you look like you've seen
a ghost."

	"I'm just a little stunned is all." Talon shook his head.

	"Well who's at the door?" Talon thought of how he could say it
gently, "Talon!"

	"Okay, Okay!" Talon waved his hands in defeat, "Apparently Wyatt's
birth parents?"

	Diana rushed to see the door. She saw exactly what Talon saw, two
people who were undeniably Wyatt's parents. "Why don't you two come
in. It's chilly out today." Her facade of kindness was one only Talon, of
the three who saw, could see through.

	Once the two guests were sitting awkwardly in the kitchen Diana
started her investigation. "So what bring you to our home?"

	Wyatt's mother answered, "You can call us Vivian and Bran, if that
makes you more comfortable" Diana smiled, she continued, "Well to be honest
we came here to see Wyatt."

	"Don't mind my bluntness, but why?"

	"Ma'am," Bran spoke, "We did not come here to take him away from
you."

	Daina nodded, "That would be illegal."

	"Yes, we only came here to see what our little boy has become."

	Diana shook her head, "And you found out he was here how?"

	Vivian sighed, "It was actually a misunderstanding between us and
the orphanage." Diana's left eyebrow raised, "Not the adoption, just how we
found out.

	"See we have went back to the orphanage a few times and looked over
all the children but could get a chance to talk to Wyatt. This time though
when we went he wasn't there and so when we asked about it the lady
mentioned the Luis family had adopted him."

	Diana nodded her head, "Ahh and then you went to a phone book and
found us."

	Bran chuckled, "We had a few awkward meetings before this though."

	Diana sighed, "Now... here's the hard part, How am I going to
explain this to my son? That just as he's getting comfortable around here,
his birth parents have shown up out of no where."

	"We're sorry if we caused you problems Mrs. Luis."

	"Problems!? I now have to tell him exactly what you told me. That
you were present in his life without him knowing. How is that fair to Wyatt
at all?"

	Just as she finished the door closed and a voice was heard from the
entrance way, "I'm home, Is everything okay?" It was Wyatt.

	Diana closed and rubbed her eyes. "Wyatt could you come to the
kitchen please?"

	Slowly Wyatt made his way to the kitchen, "Ya, what..."He stopped
mid sentence, "Oh I didn't know you had company..."

	"I don't." Wyatt looked at Diana confused, "You do, meet your birth
parents." Diana threw her hands up in the air and returned to the dishes.

	From Wyatt's Notes:

	Wait so... these people...who I've seen before at the
orphanage... are my parents? They came by every so often. I always thought
they were investors. Or at least people coming for the investors.

	But no.. I've seen them since I was young and these are my
parents!? I have no idea if i should be happy, mad or some other emotion
but currently I'm confused.

	When I got introduced they acted like everything was fine. They
gave me a simple, "Oh Wyatt we've missed you!" Thing. They even tried to
hug me.

	I stepped back though. I didn't know where to look. Diana was
furiously washing dishes, Talon was in the corner being shy and there was
my 'mom' and 'dad' acting like nothing was wrong.

	I just closed my eyes and shook my head, "Why are you here?" I
asked them.

	"We wanted to see you." My 'mother' responded.

	I might have yelled at them, "Then why am I here!? Why am I not at
your home with you!?"

	It must have caught them off guard. They looked over at Diana for
support or something. She grunted, "He has every right to be angry with
you."

	"We couldn't properly take care of you..." 'dad' explained.

	"What do I even call you!?" They went back to being silent. "I
can't call you 'mom' and 'dad'! I don't even feel comfortable calling Diana
and Kenneth such names!"

	"You could call us Bran and Vivian, son." Bran answered.

	I shook my head, "No, you have no right calling me that!" I was
hyperventilating. I looked over at Diana and stated, "I'm going over to
Grandpa Nicholas'. Text me when dinner's ready please." And I stormed out.

	Diana didn't stop me. My 'parents' were to confused about the
situation to know what the fuck was going on. That's how you know I'm
mad. I just swore. When do i ever swear? Seriously how can this get any
worse?


	Diana stopped washing the dishes and looked at Talon, "Go to your
room please."

	"Can I go with..."

	Diana cut him off. "No, not right now." Talon quickly made his way
out of the kitchen. There was no fighting with his mother right now. "And
you two, how did you expect this to go smoothly?"

	Bran spoke, "We thought he would have liked to know his parents
were always watching him. We collectively thought this."

	"That would be fine in one of two situations. One was that you're
dead. The other is you told him when he was young. Not at age 14, almost
15, when he is a hormone raging teenager. On top of school and trying to
get comfortable in our home he has you two saying 'hello we're your
parents'. Do you have any idea how confused he is right now!?

	They were silent. "Of course you don't. You look to be in your
early 30s. You're probably high school sweethearts who got knocked up and
gave their baby away. Get out of my home! If I hear anything about you
contacting Wyatt again I swear things will be a lot worse!"  They made
their way out of the Luis home quickly.

	Wyatt didn't even make it to Grandpa Nicholas' house before his
tears started to fall. He was confused, not only in what he was just told
but if he should even stay with the Luis' anymore. He ended up sitting in
front of the deck not even trying to go inside.

	A few minutes of sitting there Grandpa Nicholas heard Wyatt from
his living room. His window was open. He made his way outside quietly. When
he looked over the balcony he saw Wyatt with his knees up to his face.

	He made his way down the steps, "What has Wyatt all upset." He
didn't move. "Come in, I'll make some hot chocolate."

	Clearly still crying Wyatt spoke, "But, hick, it's almost, hick,
summer."

	"When your upset a good hot chocolate helps." Wyatt got up and
fallowed him into the house.

	This wasn't the first time in Grandpa Nicholas' home. He saw his
piano sitting in the corner. Tv on to the news, and newspaper and coffee on
'grandpa's chair'. He sat down on the couch and wrapped himself in the
blanket that laid on the back.

	In a few minutes a steaming hot cup of Grandpa's famous Hot
chocolate was in Wyatt's hands. He never told them but he added cinnamon to
every cup. "Take your time. Even if you don't tell me what's wrong. I do
advise you tell someone though."

	Wyatt took a couple of sips. For him it was the perfect
temperature. After a few minutes Wyatt quietly said, "'they' showed up..."

	"I'm sorry Wyatt, you're going to need to repeat yourself."

	Wyatt shivered a bit, "'They showed up." He repeated louder.

	Grandpa Nicholas nodded, "They as in your 'parents'" Wyatt
nodded. "Tell me as much as need too."

	Wyatt spent the next hour telling him on and off what happened and
how he felt. Grandpa Nicholas even made them their own dinner. Wyatt spent
most of his night there and skipped the next day of school due to the
stress going on inside his head.

	When ever he felt stressed out he went right to Grandpa Nicholas
and vented. He was patient in letting Wyatt express everything he needed
to. To say Wyatt was home from school for the rest of the week, which was
only 2 days, would be very, very true.

	Chapter end

	So this chapter has come to an end. And It's official Wyatt's life
is in one hell of a hurricane! Just like I wanted. How it happened kinda
happened unsuspectingly but that's okay!

	In other news! I have deleted the Where Life Takes Us page on
facebook and now only have one page. It was originally called 'Life's
Expectations' but I changed it to 'The "Life" Series' so it could include
Wyatt's story. So here's the link:

	Sorry for the inconvenience.

	Thanks for reading!!
