The Boy's Children

Chapter 34

Malakai's POV
"How's Zed?"

"He says he's fine. I don't believe him."

"Of course you don't. Can you both like...leave so I can get dressed?"

Marionette rolled her eyes.

"Okay. Okay. I'll call Stasia for ya."

"HUH?!"

"I'm sure, she wants to...do things, that I can't say in front of Nattie."

I felt my face heat up.

"OOOOO! I'M RIGHT?!"

Marionette started laughing. I stood up.

"I hate you."

"Love you too. Come on. I have someone for you to meet."

My sister and cousin walked away. I ran to my door and shut it.

Is she seriously calling her?!

Wait....

Ana's my girlfriend...

Why am I panicking about seeing her?

Do I smell?

Anastasia's POV
Hey! I'm Anastasia Guevara. I'm 18. I live with just my brother Colton. My parents are pieces of shit honestly. They basically threw us away. I don't even talk about them anymore. Anywho. I was sleeping when Marionette called me. I got dressed and walked to her house. I knocked on the door and Onyx opened the door.

"Hey!"

"Hey. I didn't know, you were coming over."

"Mari called me."

"Ah. He might be sleeping or my niece woke him up."

I walked in and went up to Malakai's room. I knocked but he didn't say anything. I realized the water was running.

I think...

I'm gonna surprise him.

I walked opened his door and walked in. I shut the door and wandered over to his bathroom. I slowly opened the door. I walked in and carefully closed it. I took off my clothes. I tiptoed to the shower. I opened the shower door. I walked in and closed it. I walked up to him. I wrapped my arms around his waist. I started kissing his back.

"Ana?"

"Hm?"

"Phew. Okay. It is you. I was worried Ryker walked in."

He turned around.

"Excuse me? Why would he show up?"

He laughed nervously.

"He's been harassing me."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"He's the one that was dared to ask you out right?"

"Mhm. That's him."

"Why is he talking to you now?"

"He claims he's gay and actually likes me."

"But you don't believe him?"

"I don't. If he did...he wouldn't have done the dare. He would've asked me on his own."

"Hm. You have a point. How has he been, bothering you?"

"Few days now. I keep blocking him but...he comes up with another account."

"Does he have your number?"

"At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. Please don't tell anyone but...I'm actually scared."

"H-holy shit. T-that's not normal for you."

"Yeah. I know. He seems like he's obsessed with me. I-I'm creeped out baby. I really am."

"What do you would happen?"

He shrugged. He sniffled.

"Kai? Are you crying?"

"Yeah."

Did he just-

ADMIT IT?!

He turned off the water then just walked out of the shower. I followed him.

"Uh. What's wrong?"

"I'm scared of him."

"Why? Talk to me."

He shook his head.

"No. I'm not telling you."

He got dressed then walked out of bathroom. I did the same thing. He sat down at his desk and put his head down.

"I'm getting your sister. Maybe she can get you to talk."

He didn't say anything. I left his room and went to Marionette's. Her and Raven were playing with Novalyn.

"Mari? Something's wrong with your brother."

"Huh?"

She stood up and walked over to me. She shut her bedroom door.

"Did he say what?"

"No. I can't get him to talk at all."

"Fuck. Okay let's go."

We walked to his room. He was still at his desk.

"Mally? What's wrong?"

"I understand how you and mom feel."

"What?! Did you- who?!"

"You know what happened just by saying that?"

"Yeah. Don't ask. You're safer. Mal? Who did it?"

"Ryker."

"I'm lost. What happened?"

"I got raped okay? There. I said it. Happy?" He said as his voice cracked.

"When?"

"The last day of school."

"Kai why didn't you say anything?"

"I thought...it was what I got. I did say "Men don't get raped" so I guess this was my "I told you so.""

"What?!"

"Mal no!"

He got up and walked over to his bed. He threw himself onto it. I started hearing muffled cries. I ran over to his bed. I jumped onto it. I started holding him.
