Not Supposed To

[ stay-6 ]

    Prem just sat there in shock of the words that just came out of his mouth. For a second, he had thought Boun was talking to him. All of that up until he said, "Mom, please don't go. That man is dangerous." He knew what was happening.

    Now knowing the fact that he wasn't talking to him, he quickly realized that he was talking to his mom in a dream. He seemed to be re-living a time in his life where is mom was getting harmed. He looked really sad, even crying in his sleep. In desperation to get him out of this terrible state, Prem shook him vividly calling his name until Boun woke up with a big gasp for air.

    "Prem..." Boun said in quivering voice. Worried, Prem immediately brought him in for a hug. Boun broke down in tears, sobbing, as Prem followed silently with tears falling down their cheeks. "It's ok. I'm here. I won't ever leave you and neither will your mom."

    They pulled out of the hug, Boun still sniffling. "How are you feeling?" Prem said. Boun avoided the question and tried to lay back down, but Prem stopped him.

"Talk to me. I see you're hurt."

"It's nothing. Just a sad movie I watched a while ago."

"Boun, stop it. You know you can trust me. If you don't, let me know how I can get you to trust me."

"I-, I do trust you. It's just a hard topic to talk about."

"I know, but you will just continue to suffer if you go on like this. So please tell me. I will keep it to myself forever."

"Ok...I needed to get it off my chest anyway.."

    Boun went through everything that happened, starting when he was 15. At this time his father was getting abusive. He left Sammy and moved out, but because she still loved him, she would often times visit him. Boun would notice every time she came back from visiting him, she had a new scratch, bruise, or even not coming back with all her belongings. He manipulated her into giving him her money, clothes, and jewelry to secretly give to the other women he dated later. 

    One time, Boun went with his mom to see what really happens when he's not there. He opened the door and looked into the house first and there he stood with a chair and rope in the center of the room. That's when Boun took his mom and ran. That was the last time they ever associated with that man.

     Eventually, she found someone new, aka Bright, and hit it off right away. He was very kind towards both Sammy and Boun and treated them like his Queen and Prince. Love that they never could imagine with his old father. And they got married the summer Boun was going to college.

    Now, Boun told him, "I know you are thinking that that was done with a long time ago, but the reason I'm like this now is because he came back." Prem didn't understand at first, but quickly caught on.

    His biological father was trying to get close to Boun to get back to Sammy. For obvious reasons, old wounds were opened remembering what happened in the past and that there could be a possible reoccurrence.

    "Boun, you're thinking way to much. Bright treats you and Sammy like Gods. There is no way she would give that up for a bad man of the past. Even if she would, Bright would never let that happen." Prem was right. Boun was worrying for something that didn't need to be worried about. 

    Boun thanked him for reminding him how good he had it with his family now. He was grateful that he was lucky enough for his mom to find a new man that was a good decision for the both of them. For this, Boun's spirits were instantly brightened. 

"Prem, you wanna do something fun?"

"No, you're still sick."

"I'm much better now see! Come on it will be fun."

"Where would we even be going?"

"You'll see!"

    Without giving Prem much of a chance to fight back, Boun grabbed his hand and pulled him out the house. Once they were outside the gate, Prem stood there still. Boun tried to push him to the car, but he wouldn't budge. Just like that, in 0.5 seconds, Prem was already over Boun's shoulder.

    "LET ME GO! I'M NOT GOING!!!" Prem kicked and yelled but he wouldn't put him down. All he said was, "Trust me and relax. We're going to have fun."

     Boun dropped him inside the car buckling his seat belt for him. Prem turned red for Boun being so close to his face. His heart slowly starts to skip beats before he turned on the child lock and closed the door. His face was blank with shock with this feeling.

Oh God! What was that??? Why was my heart beating so fast? I think I may have a heart disease. Ain't no way in hell I  am falling for this guy.\

    Boun came around the car and sat in the driver seat next to him. Prem quickly put his guard up as they drove off. Thinking the only way he was getting out of this weird heart state was to fake it until you make it.

     They were driving for what felt like forever. It was getting dark which was the plan Boun had thought out, because it had to be dark to see it at it's best. Prem had already fallen asleep from the long drive and exhaustion from taking care of Boun. He may have not done a whole lot but it was somehow emotionally draining. 

    Boun parked at the top of a hill where he thought would be the best spot to see it. He gave Prem a small nudge saying his name for him to wake up. 

    Prem woke up first complaining about being awoken but then stopped at the beautiful sight.
