The Boy With A Child

Chapter 22

                                  Onyx's POV
I felt my left hand get grabbed. I looked down. I saw Marionette.

"Onyx I understand you hate him. Trust me baby I do. I hate him too. But, just because you hate him, doesn't mean you should hate his family."

"Your girl's right."

"Look. I'm sorry man. You can't just waltz into my life."

I felt the back of my head get slapped. I turned around and saw Primrose.

"Ow! What the fuck?!"

"Be nice or I swear to god you're sleeping on the living room floor!"

I gulped.

"You let your girl boss you around like that?"

"I don't boss him around. I'm sorry what was your name? I didn't hear it."

"Oh. I'm Cooper."

"I'm Primrose. MOVING ON! Would you like to come in?"

"I'm going in our room."

"Onyx the fuck?!"

"Look I know this isn't your fault but, you got the relationship with him that I was robbed of. He's been there for you. You're able to talk to him. I was 10 when he left. I'm 18 now. I wish I had what you have with him. That it. That's how I feel. I don't hate you or anything. T-this is too much." I said as my voice cracked.

I walked away.

"Daddy wait!"

I turned around. Marionette started hugging me.

"I love you!"

I crouched down.

"I love you too princess."

She wiped away my tears as I sniffled.

"Baby I-I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt this way."

"It's not your fault love."

I sniffled again.

"I just didn't want to tell anyone. I'll be in our room. I-I need some space. I apologize for how I acted. I don't take news like this well. The last time I heard news like this...I had a mental breakdown."

"Go take your Xanax."

"No. I don't think I need it. That's only for real bad breakdowns. I am okay for now. I promise I will take it, if this gets worse."

"Don't do anything stupid baby."

"I swear I won't."

I went into my room.

                         Primrose's POV
"I'm sorry about him."

Cooper and I sat in the dining room.

"He really didn't tell you?"

"No. He didn't. We normally don't keep secrets. I feel bad. I-I pushed him."

"Has he always been like this?"

"I don't think so. Why'd you come?"

"I wanted to see him."

"Primy?"

"Yes?"

"Is daddy gonna be okay?"

"Sweetie he's just upset. You know how he gets."

"Is he really going to sleep on the floor?"

"Of course not. I was only teasing him."

No I wasn't.

"How come she calls you, your name or "Mommy"?"

"I let her call me whatever she wants. I'm not biologically her mom. She sees me as one."

"I'm gonna be a big sister!"

I smiled.

"That's right."

"Do you know what you're having?"

"Not yet."

"How long have you been together?"

"Two years."

"You married?"

"Not yet. Hopefully that'll happen soon. We really love each other."

I spent hours talking to Cooper. Onyx didn't come downstairs until he left.
