~I'm not going to lie to him anymore!~
Charlie (My character) is 12 years of age. Soft spoken and calm in nature, he tends to keep himself to himself though he will speak up if he sees something he thinks is wrong.That said, he's not always confident to do so and will sometimes let his fears and anxieties cloud his judgement. He lives with <Y/C> (His older sister) and their parents.
<Y/C> is 28 years of age. The older sister of Charlie, she can seem over protective of him at times and some wonder if she cares too much about her baby brother. However, the family is happy and there is clearly nothing else going on.
However, there is a secret the elder three have hidden from Charlie for the last 12 years, and unknown to their parents, <Y/C> plans to reveal it on his 13th birthday.
Charlie is actually the son of <Y/C>, not her little brother. He was conceived in less than pleasant circumstances, and her parents agreed to adopt him when he was born and cover it all up so it seemed as though he were born to them.
How will things change after this news?
//NOT incest.
Charlie sighed as he opened the front door, running a hand through his curly, shoulder length brown hair before slipping his backpack from his bag and making his way into the living room. He was tired, and though he had lots of homework to do, just wanted an evening off from all this. An evening to relax and play video games, and to read a comic or two.
"Hey." He spoke with a smile as he glanced up at his sister, then to his parents before a soft frown played upon his delicate features. At barely 4'4", he was much shorter and smaller then the adults in the room. Of course, being nearly 15 years his sister's junior didn't really help, being almost 13 compared to her 28 years of age.
His mother was 53, and his father 55. He'd always found it a bit odd that they had him at 40 and 42, but didn't think about it too much. After all, as far as he was aware, they simply were lucky enough to have him. They had called him a "little miracle" when he was born, after all. So, he didn't know the truth behind it all.
"What's going on, Sis?" He could feel some tension in the room, and didn't really want to deal with it unless he had to. Maybe they'd just argued? He had heard that a lot recently, and didn't ask about it. But he was worried now, and didn't want them to be upset if it was something he'd done. He had heard his name during some of the fights, after all.
He moved into the room, taking a cautious seat on the edge of the sofa next to her. He addressed the question to his sister, trusting her to be honest with him. He hadn't been picked up from school by her that day either, which he found out. She always collected him on a Friday, so they could go for ice cream. But she'd text him to make his own way home..
