One.

#Flashback

Tuesday- March 1st 1994.

-We can't take both of them, Jeremy. - Woman's voice trembled, she cried. She gave birth at the young age. She and her boyfriend didn't have a penny of money.
- So, what do you want do? - The man raised his eyebrows. He was broken, same as Pattie.
-Meredith... - She whispered, wiping tears from her cheeks.

[…]

The worst day for Pattie and Jeremy came. They had to give away one of their sons. It was the hardest decision of their life. They drove to the agreed location, where they met Meredith and David, who had to take care of little one.
- Take care of him, please. - Tears flowed her Pattie's cheeks again. Jeremy hesitantly hugged her arm around gently stroking it, hoping it will calm her a little.
-We will deal with him. - Said the woman taking from Pattie newborn baby. She couldn't believe what she was doing, but she had no other choice. - Remember, you can always call us. He said and looked at boy whom she held in her hands. - He's so beautiful. - She whispered and looked at her husband who with a nod confirmed her words.
- Thank you so much. - Said Jeremy his serious as befits a young man voice.
After a short conversation they all returned to them. Pattie didn't expect yet how their lives can change through this.


Justin's POV.

-Justin quickly! - Scooter's serious voice shouted from the other end of the corridor. I sighed heavily and I turned to the man.
- Okay, wait. - I waved my hand and I packed to the backpack my laptop and phone with a charger. Today I had to go home. Finally. A few days of rest from it all certainly will be good to me. I wanted to spend the time with my family that I missed so much. I missed them for the last time.
- Ready ? - Again said the same voice. Sometimes Scooter's voice made me shiver. It also happened this time. I nodded and threw the hoodon my head. I threw a backpack over my shoulder and left the hotel room swiftly going down the stairs. Seeing Kenny next to the big, black car with tinted windows, my smile widened soft. I greeted him and came into car. I put down tha backpack next to me and I buttoned up lanes.
-How long will we ride? - I asked glancing at Kenny, who sat on the driver's seat. The man looked at the clock and shrugged.
- I honestly don't know. Four hours? Well, something like that. - He said and put the keys into the ignition. I put earphones into my ears and I closed my eyes indulging myself in music. I wanted to fall asleep as soon as it was possible. I didn't like traveling. It was tiring. I took a deep breath and felt the vibration of my phone. I opened my eyes and read the message.
"Drive safely. Waiting."
Well, as usual, mum cared. Lovely woman. I didn't write back I just put the phone back into my pocket.
[...]

- Justy get up. - Soft voice made ​​me wake up. I didn't know when I fell asleep. It was lucky. Yawning, I opened my tired eyes.
- We are? - I asked and Kenny nodded his head in the affirmative. I grinned and breathed a sigh of relief. I unbuttoned my belt and really quickly got off the car. I took the suitcase out of the trunk and headed for the house of my grandmother. I opened the door and pulling the suitcase went inside.
- I am! - I said a little louder. My mum ran down the stairs smiling from ear to ear. She hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks. I laughed happily and hugged the woman. Gosh I really missed her.
- I didn't think you'll be so happy to see me. I said quietly and my mom looked at my brown iris and she jabbed me in the stomach.
- You do not know how glad I am. Well go to embrace and go to dinner. You're probably hungry. - Mom patted my tummy and I rolled my eyes walked up the stairs. I opened the door of my room and went inside. Nothing has changed. The same blue-and-white walls, a bed that once seemed huge and now? Now, perhaps even too low.
I ran my fingers through my blonde wisps and opened the suitcasefrom from which I took out some clothes. I headed for the bathroom, walked next to my mom's bedroom. I looked at the bed on which layed open album and crushed wipes. I looked back and went inside. I sat on the bed and took the album in my hands. It was there .. picture that surprised me. The picture was signed "Justin and Alex. March, 1st 1994
Alex? How Alex? Something was wrong. I started to look at the picture. The boy, who was lying next to me in the photo was quite same. Eyes, nose ...
- Justin, what are you doing? You were going to the shower. - My mother came up to me and snatched album from my hands.
-Who... who is Alex? - I asked scared. Mom looked down and waved her hand.
-My friend's son. - She said, uneasily and looked away in different direction.
-And he is king of born in the same day?- I raised my eyebrows, the woman sighed heavily.
-It came out somehow. - I knew she was lying. She always clasped hands behind her back.
-Mom, don't lie to me. - I whispered looking directly into her eyes.
- You're a big boy, so I think you should know the truth .. - She started hesitantly and sat in front of me. I put my clothes next to me and I swallowed hard watching intently woman.
-What truth? - I asked quickly. She had tears in her eyes.
- Justin, the boy in the picture is Alex. Alex .. is your twin brother. When you were born I didn't have the money. I could take only one of you. I'm sorry. I. .. I know you're probably upset that I never told you.. but I didn't know how. After her words I opened my eyes wide. Excuse me!? Twin brother!? And I hear about it after 18 years of life?!
I could feel the tears gather under eyelids. I was right, after moment it rolled down my cheeks.
- How could you not tell me! - I whopped and my mother put her hands on my shoulders.
- Justin, please, calm down. I wanted the best for you but I could not take you both, get me! - She sniffed. Damn, I knew I was so sensitive.
Tears didn't cease to run down on my cheeks.
-You could take either. Maybe it'd be better! - I shouted again and my mother hugged me. I pushed her away.
- How am I supposed to trust you now? Or maybe you're not my real mother, huh?! Or I'm not Justin?! - I asked a little nervous and wiped the tears by sleeve.
- Justin I'm begging you ... - she whispered. I stood up from bed and without a word went to the bathroom, slamming the door. I was so damn sorry. What should I do now?
I rested my hands on the wash basin looking in the mirror. Sniffed and undressed. I stepped into the shower and washed my body slowly. Rinsed the foam and wiped . I put on myself clean underwear, gray sweatpants and a white T-shirt. I washed my teeth and walked out of the bathroom.
- Justin wait ... - brunette said unsteadily.
- Leave me alone! - snarled to my mother and I walked into my room. Slammed the door again but this time by accident. I sat on the window sill thinking about everything. But it was sick!
But one thing was sure. I had to find this guy. I opened my laptop. No! the guys with the name "Alex" could be millions in the U.S. the same as around the world. After a moment's reflection, however, I decided that I'll talk to my mom ..
I stood up from the bed and left the room. I walked into my mom's room and crouched beside her.
- Mama, do you know anything about him? - I asked hesitantly and the woman lifted her head, looking at me.
- I know that his name is Collins and he lives in Los Angeles. - She said, hesitantly and looked a little surprised in my eyes.
- Thanks for the help .. - I picked up and left . Then came back to my room I opened my laptop and typed into a search engine "Alexander Collins, Los Angeles." Displays any school in Los Angeles. I went to the school's side and slowly began to read.
"Alexander Collins. Captain of our school basketball team."
Bingo! Show the picture.
- Oh, shit .. - I summed quietly. The boy really was awfully similar to me. It was quite amazing. I pulled out the phone and called to the school. I introduced myself and said what is the matter. Director without hesitation gave me an address and I quickly wrote it on a piece of paper. I thanked him and canceled the call.
I went on aircraft flights page to Los Angeles yet. Tomorrow at 6:00 am one plane. I ordered a ticket and shut the laptop. I put down it aside and went down.
- What do you want to do? - My mother asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.
- I'm going to him - I said quickly, without any emotion in my voice. I took out the juice from the fridge and drunk a sip of it.

[...]

- Justin you sure you want to go? - Pattie asked improving my sweatshirt.
- Mom, I'm sure ... Moreover, I would settle there. - I said sure.
- Where?! - She asked, horrified and I sighed.
-In Scooter's house. He let me.
- Justin you sure you want to go? - Pattie asked improving my sweatshirt.
- Mom, I'm sure ... Moreover, I would settle there. - I said sure.
- Where?! - She asked, horrified and I sighed.
- With Scooter. He let me. - I shrugged my shoulders and I heard people cause to the entrance. - Okay, Mom, take care. - I kissed a woman on the cheek even though I was really upset at her and I headed for plane. Can be said that I am beginning a new chapter in my life. I was really nervous. In the end I will meet a boy identical to me. We'll see how it all unfolds.
