BoardSwapped at Birth: Book OneHi, I'm Charlie. I am 16 years-old and I currently live in Washington D.C.Roots & BeginningsMy parents met in college. Ten years after meeting, they had me. We originally lived in Virginia but due to unfortunate circumstances. We had to move to D.C. in support of my father.And then...Mom got pregnant, again. Literally, my life changed. I went from a teenager, collecting anime figures to playing diaper changing games. Siblings are fun they said. ChaseNormal families visit the hospital to give birth when they're in labor. Not my mother. She needed a c-section, which I still don't even full grasp let alone the idea of how I too, came out of such a tiny woman. My baby brother entered the world; Chase.Or Not.Well, we thought who we met was Chase. Until Chase died in a car accident shortly after leaving the hospital. That's not, the baby that died wasn't my brother. The two infants were swapped at birth.The Turning PointNot only did the hospital swap our baby with another families baby. They also decided to add fuel to flames by blaming us for the death of who we thought was chase but also for leaving the hospital before being discharged.Messy right? Oh but wait, there's more!! The public learns about what happened. Although they haven't released names, what will happen when they do? We're already black. Let's leave it there.A MessWith the weight of the world already on my shoulders. Nobody would take accountability for what's been done onto our family. With my back against the wall, please understand. I did what I had to do.Blame GameThat's still not all.I think I'm also bisexual.... I have an attraction to the closest people to me. I also have a weird way of showing how much I care for them. The car accident, the baby swap, the death, the case, the media. It's all overwhelming. It gave me no time to dive deeper into this attraction, so we'll focus on one thing a time. Let's revisit this later.What Now?Honestly, you tell me? What would you do in this situation... but if you need more context before making that decision.
