Chapter Sixteen- Unexpected visitor.

~Holly's point of view~

My eyes land on her, and I have no nice words.

Holly: "What the hell are you doing here?"

Lorene: "You know why I'm here."

The only thing I can think of is she wants money.

Reed: "Who is it?"

Holly: "My Grandma."

Reed: "We can't do this out here, Babe. We have to let her in."

Holly: "Fine."

I know that he's right. It's bad enough that people are snapping pictures left and right, but they are yelling questions this time. We don't need them to witness an unhappy family reunion.

Tyler: "Holly?"

He rarely calls me Holly.

Holly: "Yeah?"

Tyler: "Come here."

I walk over to where he is.

Tyler: "She's your Grandma?"

Holly: "Yes. She's yours too."

I didn't even think about this affecting Tyler.

Holly: "I'm sorry, Tyler."

Tyler: "It's ok. You don't need the added stress of them knowing I'm your brother."

Holly: "Hang on."

I walk over to Reed

Reed: "Is he ok?"

Holly: "Yes. We need to do something, though."

Reed: "What's that?"

Holly: "Tyler hasn't met her. We talked about Tyler in the interview today. I'd like to introduce them to each other in front of them. I don't want them snooping to find out who my brother is. Tyler nor Deena need that. This way, there is no question of who he is."

Reed: "I agree."

The guard was finally able to get the gate open. My grandma walks in and comes straight to me. She wraps her arms around me.

Holly: "Hi Grandma."

Lorene: "Hello Holly."

Holly: "Grandma, there's someone that I need you to meet. TYLER!"

He doesn't say anything. He just walks over. We are close enough that every word we say is going to be heard.

Holly: "Grandma, this is Tyler. Tyler, this is our Grandma."

Lorene: "Wait.... He's...."

Holly: "He's my brother."

Lorene: "You're.....Oh my God. How?"

Holly: "Inside, Grandma. We will explain everything inside."

Lorene: "Ok."

She pulls Tyler into a hug. Then we start to walk in.

Lorene: "I thought you were going to introduce me to your husband."
