Chapter 1.10 Hiding Secrets

Selena may be getting old, but that did not keep her from doing her job as an investigator.

In fact, breaking into houses was now the norm for Selena!

On the car ride home from work, Selena relaxed in the leather seats glad that her burden was finally over and she could live her life the way she wanted too.

She also flashed back 2 years to the moment she chose her heir....

Selena was waiting when the kids got home from school that day. Selena was nervous but she knew Brandon was the best choice because of the incident at the beach when the kids threw their party. Selena winced at that troubling memory.

When the kids got home, Selena told them to all stand up because she was going to announce the heir.

"Now before I get started I just want to say that I love you and choosing my heir has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life." Selena began.

"OK, so the heir is Brandon." Selena said blurting it out not wanting to beat around the bush.

"Psshhh, see ya loser." Bree said grabbing her songbook and going to her room to right her next hit. Bree was never really concerned about being an heiress, Bree thought it would stop her from reaching her musical dreams.

Adam's face was relieved that his brother was heir. Adam thought that his life would be too boring to be a heir of a legacy.

Brandon had yet to have any reaction, Brandon was too busy being rapped up in the happiness of his mom choosing him as heir.

Brandon thanked his mom and called his best friend Ferby over for dinner to celebrate.

Ferby also brought his drums, because he was a major hit and he wanted to play at Brandon's house.

From the moment Bree heard Ferby play for the first time, she immediately looked up from what she was doing, her eyes melting into the rhythm of the drums.

Bree's first love was the guitar, but now she wanted to learn to play the drums just like Ferby. She was torn between two instruments that she completely loved. So for her lifetime wish she chose to become a One Sim Band, so that way she did not have to choose!

Bree quickly retrieved her guitar and started to play along with Ferby, Bree loved how the music sounded and knew she had made the right decision by choosing One Sim Band as her lifetime wish.

But, everything was not completely OK in the Evan's household. Carly was eating less and less during dinner and often left dinner when the family started eating.

"What happened to Carly?" Brandon asked as Bree was cleaning up.

"Dunno, go ask." Bree responded.

"I'll pass." Brandon responded concluding the conversation.

This did not end Bree's curiosity, she had known for a long time that Carly had been skipping meals. A little light bulb went off in Bree's head and she headed towards her and Carly's bedroom.

"OK, spill your guts." Bree said as she entered the room, finding her sister sitting there on the couch in their room.

"About what?" Carly asked her heartbeat now racing, she knew what her sister was asking about.

"Don't act dumb." Carly said sitting on the couch next to her sister.

Carly knew that her sister was aware of her not eating. Carly was busted.

"OK...so...as you know... I have been skipping meals to keep from gaining weight." Carly said ashamed of herself.

"I just can't be the fat girl again Bree!" Carly screamed fighting her tears.

Bree stayed poker-faced through the whole conversation, understanding that her sister needed to vent all of the things that she'd been hiding.

Bree eventually came out of her trance and pulled her sister into a big hug and told her everything would be OK, but she needed to start eating.

"I know Bree, I'll try." Carly said hopeful in herself

Bree stood up and was about to get into bed.

Both girls climbed into bed, but before Bree turned out the light, Carly had one last request.

"Oh...um..Bree?" Carly asked.

Ya Carls?" Bree responded.

"Don't tell anyone about our conversation." Carly said before turning out her light.

"Oh, OK." Carly said her heart pounding as she went to bed. How could she keep this secret? Carly was her sister, but her parents had to know, Carly was their daughter. They deserved to know didn't they!? No, Bree pushed the thoughts away, Bree would keep her sister's secret no matter what.

After that, Bree stayed close to her sister. Not letting her out of her sight, keeping her secret as much as possible.

It was hardest for Bree to keep the secret from Brandon though, since the two were so close. at times it was so tempting to tell Brandon of Carly's anorexic ways,especially when Brandon would listen to Bree play guitar, and Brandon would give her advice on songs and various notes.

Speaking of Brandon, he was well confused of how to be an heir, as far as her was concerned, he still liked to hang around in his p.j.'s and eat all day.

Oh, how will he fare in the real world??
