I remember peaking through the tiny gap in my bedroom door. The planks were'nt usually fixed close enough, as with the rest of the wooden cabin, so I could see though and hear pretty well. I watched the fire play around on their faces, mischeivous shadows making some of the people unrecognisable, but I could still tell from their voices who they were.

I listened.

And listened.

And listened some more.

Then my eyes bulged. Tears crept up under my eyes and waited anxiously to burst out. Every time I took a breath, my chest shook and wavered, binding back a deep sadness.

All because this was the moment that I found out.

I found out that Lucian, my long-time friend and hopefully almost boyfriend, was my uncle.

oOoOoOOoh...

Soo...This all started when I was talking to my mum about how my auntie (her sister) is more like a sister to me. Then I though, OMG! What an original idea for a story!

And so the planning began. But of course, I love writing love stories (what a coincidence!) and this eventually became ''Boyfriend = Uncle'. And I fell head-over-heels with the name Lucian too. So that decided it.

Basically, Catherine (the protagonist) discovers that her almost-boyfriend is actually her Uncle, and it has been hidden from her all these years (She is 15 and a half). Lucian is the same age, however, so it leaves some kind of scandal to blame on her grandmother's part.

She is disgusted, and therefore grows apart from him. But as time passes by, she seemingly cannot resist her feelings, and develops a crush on him -^^-

After all the complications this causes when she is discovered, she is ashamed and runs away to her grandmother's house in search of the truth.

Her grandmother then reveals the greatest secret of all; the fact that she is not Catherine's real grandmother, but she is the
sister of hers.

Cathy's grandmother wasn't married or anything, and a few years after giving birth to Cathy's mum, she went on a trip with her twin sister, and died in an accident. When the sister got back, she pretended it was herself that had died, and took on the role of her sister. Then she went on to have son, who in turn was Lucian.

But Cathy explains that she is still distraught, because they are still related. ...
