Rescued by a Gang Member

Chapter 16:

I stayed in bed for the time I had to and didn't talk to anyone except Michael or my dad. Both were sad that I lost the baby but glad that there was nothing left of Randall in my life. My dad had sent a message to Randal and got the reply he hoped for, Randy didn't care that I lost the baby.

It was still hard doing anything with how much pain I was in but Michael brought me pain medication every now and then that put me to sleep and made the pain go away.

A knock on my door made me sit up carefully and stare at it. Who the hell would be bugging me now?

"What?" I snapped and Keith pushed he door open. "Oh, what do you want?"

"I came to say I'm sorry, Kylie. I didn't mean to make you miscarry. Just..." He stopped and ran his fingers through his hair as he shut the door and came closer to my bed. "I've loved you forever, Kylie. And seeing you after all these years is just hard. And then knowing you were pregnant by that fucker just pissed me off. Not at you. But him."

I nodded.

"Look, I feel like shit. I'm not eating or sleeping, and now all I want to do is hold you and make sure you're alright. Michael won't even talk to me." He said and then sat on the edge of the bed. "If you don't want me here please tell me now."

I shook my head just as the door opened and my brother came in with my medicine. He shot glares at Keith but I managed to get up out of bed, with considerable pain and held my hand out to Michael.

"He shouldn't be here Kylie. He caused you to lose the baby." Michael said and looked down at me.

"It wasn't his fault, Michael." I said and put my hand on his arm. "I was in a high risk pregnancy. I smoked a lot when in the beginning and the doctors told me there was a high chance of me losing the baby."

Tears fell again and Michael then softened and looked at Keith. They had a male bonding moment and then Michael lifted me up and set me back in bed.

"Take these pills and go back to sleep, Kylie. Maybe Keith will stay here with you and help you sleep better. You don't have to take these pills anymore after this dose. You'll be able to get up and walk around too. But only a little at a time." Michael said as he held the pull out and I grabbed my water bottle and swallowed the pill with a gulp of water. Then Michael kissed my forehead and left, shutting the door behind him.

"So are you staying or what?" I asked as I snuggled under the blanket and smiled at Keith. We had so many sleep overs growing up that I was comfortable with him still. But when he whipped off his shirt and I saw his flat abs and build arms I nearly started drooling. He was so sexy, and grown up. Dear god.

"Enjoying the view?" He asked with a chuckle and unbuckled his belt. Then he unbuttoned his pants and tugged them down his legs and I felt my face heating up with a blush and this made him laugh more as he crawled into the bed in just his boxers. He settled in next to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me close so that my head was on his chest. His lips pressed against my hair and I smiled. "Sleep tight, beautiful. I'll be here to protect you."

I smiled and fell asleep, wrapped in the arms of my childhood friend, and the man who truly owned the key to my heart.

Keith's POV:

I couldn't believe this. She was back in my arms, and over the years she has really filled out. She's beautiful. Even more so than the last time I saw her, when we were 13. Her raven black hair was long back then and now it was blonde with purple tips, but the black was showing at her roots.

And she still had the sapphire blue eyes that had attracted me to her. She slept peacefully in my arms and i tugged her close, feeling her shift and her arm snaked around my waist before she went back to breathing softly. Tears pricked my eyes before I blinked them away. Her miscarriage was my fault. Even though she had said it was a high risk pregnancy already.

How could I sleep when I have an angel laying on my chest. But when my phone buzzed on the nightstand I shifted slightly and heard her moan softly. God dammit. Now she's starting to affect me in the way she shouldn't right now. She's vulnerable.

I snagged my phone and stared at the text message.

Keith, baby. I'm horny. Come help. I'm home alone. -Jolene

I sighed and took a selfie of me with a sleeping Kylie on my chest and sent it back to her. It didn't take her long until she replied and I grinned.

What the fuck?!!!! You're cheating on me?!!! Who's the slut?!!!

I chuckled softly and decided to text her back.

She's not a slut. She's the love of my life. Now if you'll kindly fuck off I'd greatly appreciate it. -your ex boyfriend Keith

Then I shut my phone off and put it back on the nightstand and settled into Kylie's soft bed and closed my eyes. Might as well an try and get some sleep for my beautiful angel.
