Tyler’s Pov
“Troy, we are sorry.” My mom said a few tears running down her cheeks. That was it, Troy’s eyes softened. We all don’t like our mom crying, so if we are annoyed with her and we see tears, we try calming down. We love her too much.
Troy sat down and folded his arm, making us know he was still angry. It was now that everything dawn on me. I had a triplet brother? Was he Jake then? But he said mom said his name was Theo.
“Mom, I don’t till get this. How do you know Jake is Theo? Or is he not?” I shifted my legs to get comfortable on the chair.
“When we were dropping Troy and Theo off to the adopted parents, we made a locket with our pictures on it so that if somehow we don’t find them they might trace us with that. And Jake has that locket.” Dad explained.
So Jake was… I looked at him and saw he was already looking at me with a blank expression. Why was he keeping a blank expression, but before I looked away I saw a hint of sadness, mixed with happiness in his eyes.
Jake was my brother. My triplet brother Troy’ and Is triplet. Trevor’s brother too. Mom and dad’s son. I bit my lips as I take everything in. I screamed inwardly and groaned, they all looked at me. “Mom, are you so sure?”
My mother sighed and came towards me. “Can’t you see it Ty, it is even both of you that look alike the most than him and Troy or you and Troy.”
“I know mom, I am trying to take everything in. But you should have told us earlier. What If Jake wasn’t here today? You would never have told us?”
“Ty…”
“He is right, mom!” Jake stood up. “Why did I have to be the one that wasn’t found, uh? ” I had to live for twenty three years without my real parents. My adopted parents told me they weren’t my real parents that my real parents left me! I was devastated, and broken. I know it’s not your fault but you should have still tried to keep us even if it’s with your other relatives.” I saw Jake break down. I think he had been holding his tears for so long because all the tears ran down his face.
Troy went towards Jake and hugged him, rubbing circles on his back to cool him down. I hugged my mother who was having a mental breakdown. My dad was in his own world while Trevor had his hands on his face.
It took us like thirty minutes to be out of the tense mood.
“You know, you both all have a birth mark on the same place on your hip bone.” Dad said chuckling after a while, and I smiled too. I knew I had a birth mark there but never knew Troy did too.
“I also have a birth mark there.” Jake said and pulls his jeans a little bit low, and it was exactly where I had mine.
“So why are you named Jake?” Trevor asked.
“I think his adopted parents changed his name, but he said his birth certificate has Theo Scott Moner on it.” Dad said smiling, but I can’t get why he hadn’t thought about being related to me since he knew my surname.
Troy beamed and hugged Jake again. He was acting like a fan girl who just saw her celebrity crush. “I love you already.”
Like… really?
Trevor said the same too and hugged him.
I don’t think I could say the same yet, because at first I didn’t like Jake, and now I only liked him a little for Techna’s sake. I wasn’t really too fond of him yet cause he had my woman.
Where did that come from? I shook my head. “I can’t do this right now.” I stood up and headed towards the door.
“Tyler…”
“No dad, give me time to clear my head.” I gave Jake a glance and nodded at him.
I can’t still believe he is my triplet.
Note: Tyler thinks Techna and Jake are together. He doesn’t know they are not.
