Fatal Attraction

Chapter 34

Brice POV
I get in bed and pull the covers over me as I look up at the ceiling. I think about my life and wonder why shit like this keeps on happening to me. I just want a good life with my family and my friends and my boyfriend but I cant even have that.

There is a gentle knock and it opens, revealing my mom. She shuts the door behind her and gestures for me to move over in bed. I do so as she gets in with me and runs her fingers through my hair.

"Why is life so difficult mom?" I ask in almost a whisper.

"I dont know sweetie. Things just happen for a reason and these things are just challenges. God would never give you a challenge that he knew you could not handle"

"I hate that hes not giving up" I mumble

"Dont worry. We will come out on top. Just get some rest" She sighs; kissing my head before rising to leave.

I get more comfortable in bed and shut my eyes, allowing sleep to take over.

I feel something touch my neck and then tickle it as I try shoving it away.

"Come on babe. Youre gonna be late for school" I hear and I open my eyes and look at Khalil who is dressed and standing over my bed.

"Im not going to school today." I mumble getting out of bed and walking into my bathroom.

I brush my teeth and then strip and get in the shower.

"But you have to go. Ill be all alone" He says coming into the bathroom.

I poke my head out and see him sitting on the sink counter.

"You'll be fine. Za,Justin,Angel,and Taylor will be with you"

I start rinsing before stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around my body. I look at Khalil and hes pouting.

"You ruined the show" he gestures to my towel and I playfully shove him before going into my room and pulling out ripped jeans, a white shirt, and red vans

"So when will you guys be done at the court?"He asks

"I honestly don't know" I huff.

I look down as tears threaten to fall. I feel Khalil pull me into his arms and kiss my head.

"Dont cry baby. Im not gonna let him take you away from me. I love you" He says

I just shut my eyes, hoping today wont go so bad.

Me, my sisters, mom, and Mark enter the court as we wait for our lawyer.

"Ill go wait at the doors for him"Mark says before kissing my moms cheek and walking off in the direction of the doors.

"I fucking hate this"Blessing mumbles

"Language..and I know it sucks alright but we will get through this-"

"You're our mom, you're suppose to say that. We don't know whats gonna be right so we should just stop pretending every things gonna be a damn fairytale ending" I snap; interrupting mom.

"Brice"Emma says shocked and I just shake my head as I walk away from them.

The court doors open and I walk in and take a seat at the front. I feel a presence sit next to me and I was ready to tell them off till I noticed it was Khalil.

"What are you doing here?" I say in shock.

"I told you I wasnt gonna let him take u away from me..from us"He smiles and I look to see Emma and Blessing come in with Za and Taylor. After, Angel and Justin walk in and sit behind us and I smile at them.
