The Boy With A Child

Chapter 96

Onyx's POV
"Kids! It's too early! Why are you up?"

Guess Alex got to them first.

"We woke up."

"Why didn't you get one of your parents?"

"We didn't wanna bother them."

I ran downstairs.

"Kids...I told you to wake me up. We're doing the breakfast in bed for mommy. Be quiet. Lex are you helping?"

"Can't. I'm thinking about what you said. I'm gonna talk to River."

"That's good. Are you walking today?"

"No. Can you drive me?"

"Yeah sure. Kids go play. Without yelling."

Me and Alexia got ready. I drove her to school.

"Remember...stay away from that prick and his friends."

"I know. I'll try. It won't be my fault."

"I know. Call me if you wanna leave. Love you."

"Love you too."

After I got home, I went inside. I got the kids and we started making breakfast. We got everything ready and brought it to my room.

"Good morning Rose!"

She jumped up.

"Ah!"

"We made you breakfast!"

Primrose gasped.

"You did?!"

We walked up to her.

"We figured, it might make you feel better."

"Aw. I love you guys. Did you guys eat yet?"

"No. You should eat first."

She started eating.

"So Lex likes someone."

"Oh?"

"Some dude named "River Thor"."

"That's kinda a cool name."

The rest of the day, was going well. Until it wasn't. I got a call from Alexia's school. I jumped in my car and drove there. I ran into the nurse's office She couldn't stop looking at her hands.

"What happened?!"

"R-River g-got stabbed. I-it's all my fault. Jordan....he went to stab me."

"And River threw himself in front of the knife, didn't he?"

She nodded.

"Go wash your hands. You're going home."

After she ran out of the bathroom, she ran out of the building. I ran after her.

"Woah! Slow down!"

"Onyx this is my fault!"

"No no. It's not."

"H-he said he likes me!"

"What hospital is he going to?"

"I dunno!"

"Who was the EMT?"

"I-I-I dunno!"

"How bad was it?"

"T-there w-was so much blood! I-I couldn't see!"

"How much do you like this kid?"

"A lot!"

"Prim is gonna kill me."

"What?!"

"I'm taking you home. Go take a quick shower. Grab what you need."

"W-why?!"

"We're going to go to, every hospital that's close."

"Huh?!"

"You wanna make sure, he's okay right?"

"Yes! I-I have his number!"

Right when we got home..her phone pinged. She picked it up.

"I-I know where he is! H-he just texted me!"

"That's convenient? Anyway go shower."

She used my key and unlocked the door. She ran in.

"Hey Prim! Bye Prim!"

"What the hell?"

"So um...remember how I told you about that kid she was talking about? Well...he got stabbed. I'm taking her to the hospital now."

"Awww. Are you playing Cupid?"

"Fuck you. If you put it that way then...possibly? Prim, he jumped in front of the knife for her."

"H-he did?"

"Yeah."

"Why does that...remind me of you?"

"Maybe...since I've done it."

Alexia ran downstairs. Her hair was wet.

"Okay! Let's go!"

"So you're seriously taking her?"

"I mean...yeah.."

"River told me he likes me!"

"Okay than. Good luck."

I kissed Primrose then, me and my sister left and got in my car. I started driving. She told me about this morning.

"So he just...walked up to you, started a conversation with you, then gave you his necklace?"

"I-I don't understand it either."
