The Populars and Me (BxBxB)

Chapter 13 - Ryan Meets Uncle Mark

A/N: Hey, this book is almost 10k reads! Wow, I can't believe people are liking this. Honestly, I'm having serious writer's block issues with this book, but I'm glad many people are still reading this. I already completed the plot, but I'm having trouble how to put them into content. Anyway, that's my problem to handle, so no need to worry!

Also, next chapters would probably consist of fluffs and rivalry stuff from the boyfriends. I plan to create a relaxing atmosphere first before bringing in the storm that would test Ryan's changing life with his two popular boyfriends. So far, I'm glad you guys are still reading this despite the infrequent updates. And what the heck; this book even got #1 in Furries tag! Thank you so much for that!

Anyway, on to the story!

Ryan's POV

I'm pretty sure I died...

...right?

If not, then wherever I am right now must not be the afterlife. I could still remember how Grayson tried to kill me with an injection filled with some kind of substance. I dunno what it was, but what confuses me is that I'm now in an unfamiliar place. I did remember passing out, but where the heck am I?

Currently standing in the middle of the road in front of a huge house, I'm having a strange feeling within me. Despite being vague in my memory, I feel like I've been here before. The moon was above the sky, and there weren't any people around, probably because they're already asleep. But this house had its lights on, which means there's someone awake.

"H-Hello?!" I was shivering as I called out. I don't really want to intrude here, but this gut feeling within me says that I should meet the owner of this house.

Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing a very familiar lady with a crying toddler in her arms. She was also crying as she was accompanied by another familiar person.

"Don't you ever come back here, you worthless bastard!" A voice yelled out, yet I couldn't see to whom it belonged.

"Serena, come on. We'll go somewhere far from this wretched place."

And that's when I realized...

"M-Mom?! D-Dad?!" My voice cracked as tears began forming in the corner of my eyes. Seeing Dad alive and well right now is such an utter surprise. I want to approach him and talk to him after not seeing him for so long.

And as I began running, I didn't realize a car was heading towards me. It was only a blur when I noticed it with its blaring headlights as it approached me at its hurrying speed. I didn't manage to brace myself for the impact, but...

...the car just suddenly passed through me?

'What the hell?' I don't know how that happened. I didn't feel the car's impact on me; I didn't feel any pain at all...

"A-Adam, where are we going?"

Mom's voice snapped my attention back to them. They were getting inside the car, with the toddler on the baby seat on the back. I'm smart enough to know that it's me in my old crybaby self, and I can't help but chuckle a little.

'This is a memory...' I thought with a smile as I wiped the tears from my cheeks. Yep, I'm definitely convinced that this is a dream of my past.

"I don't know yet, honey. But I'm going to make sure that my father won't hurt you and Ryan."

I remember Mom used to tell me that Dad's father didn't accept his relationship with her because they were still young. They were still in college when I was conceived, and Dad's father threw us out as soon as Dad finally introduced us. It was harsh that such a parent could reject his own son and the family that he started. And I wasn't expecting that my grandfather would even hate me
