Always Been You

Chapter 18

                        Malakai's POV
"Oh before I forget again. Hannah's coming here tomorrow."

"Wha-what?"

I froze.

"Malakai? Are you okay?"

No!
No!
No!

"Mal?"

"I-I have to go to bed."

I tried to sleep but my mind won't shut off.

This isn't going to go well.

This is NOT how I thought my summer would start.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

I started crying.

"I don't want to see Alec!"

Rose started hugging me. When morning came I refused to get up.

"Maybe you can explain everything to her."

"I doubt she'll let me talk to her about anything. Why should I even bother?"

"Can you at least get ready?"

"Do I have to?"

"You don't want to look like hell while they're here right?"

"I guess you're right."

I got ready and laid back down.

"I see a car in the driveway. Let's go downstairs."

"You can go. I'm staying here."

"Five seconds. Just look at her. That's all I'd like you to do."

I stood up and slowly walked out of my room. I got to the bottom of the stairs and heard voices. I walked into the living room and saw her and Alec had their backs facing me.

"Why haven't you talked to your brother?"

"I talk to Christian."

"Not just him."

"Oh. THAT brother! I don't care about him anymore."

What?

"Why?"

"Alec said he overheard Malakai talking to one of his friends saying he wants to kill us."

My heart dropped.

"Don't you know he'd never say something like that?"

I-I can't believe this...

I felt tears forming.

"I don't  want someone like that around her."

Someone else is here?

I saw a little girl next to my brother. The little girl pointed at me.

Gotta run!

Gotta go!

I ran out of the living room ran up the stairs. I shut my door and locked it. I sat down on my bed and every tear broke through. Someone knocked on my door.

"Mal? It's Rosemary. Can you let me in?"

I got up then unlocked the door then walked back over to my bed. Rose opened the door.

"Oh God.. I'm so sorry Kai."

Rose walked over to me and stood in front of me. I put my arms around her waist and put my head on her stomach. One of her hands went on my head while the other went on my back.
