Fighting For The One

Chapter Ten

~Xavier~

Once I seen Dad walked in, I knew this was not going to be pretty. This house is going to be a disaster after they fight. “Why are you bothering my family?” Dad asked. “Well Cain, they are not your family. They are mine. And to be technical, I was here for Xavier. Not you. Ivan may be your son, but Xavier is mine.” Bryan shouted at him. “By blood both are mine. You never even bothered telling Xavier who is real father was. I am his real father. Their mother and I would be a family today if it was not for you. But you ruined that. Just because someone is your “Mate” Does not mean that they are yours.” Dad informed him. “Can we all stop this and just be happy?! Seriously. Who cares who is whose? I think I am the one who decides that. Not you guys.” I informed. They both turned to me. “Well who do you pick to be your father?” Bryan asked. “Defiantly not you. You have betrayed me on so many levels. You had me raped, beaten, etc. You really think you can be a father? Fuck no you can’t. And you. You really was afraid of this shit? Who cares if he would have killed me? A lot of people tried to kill me. They have not succeeded yet. So neither. I pick neither of you. I can take care of myself.” I shouted and ran out with Jace. I seriously had it up to here with this father bullshit. I don’t need a father. I went this long without one. I still can go without one. I sat on the porch with Jace. Waiting for them to leave. “You know we can go back to myself right?” Jace asked. “No, it’s fine.” I smiled. Jace smiled and pulled me closer to him. “Bryan and his army is gone.” Dad informed. I nodded. “Hey, look at me.” He said kneeling in front of me. “I know I have not been there. I totally wanted to be and you know that. I couldn’t risk you dying. Nor your mother. You are my son and I love Xavier. Nothing can change that.” He explains. I stared at him in the eyes. I just want him to leave for crying out loud. “Ok, I love you too. Now can you leave?” I asked. He smiled and took walked to his car. “Are you staying?” He asked Ivan who was standing behind us. “Yeah. For a little. I’ll be back soon.” Ivan informed. Dad nodded and got into his car and drove off. Sutton runs over to the house. “Is everything ok?” She asked me. “Yeah.” I smiled back. She looked up at Ivan. She smiled. “Can you all go inside for a sec? I need to talk to Sutton.” I asked. Jace and Ivan walked inside the house. “What’s up?” She sat down next to me. “How are you and Ash?” I asked sincerely. She shrugged. “Good, I guess.” She looked down on the ground. “Don’t lie to me. Remove the jacket.” I demanded. “Xavier…” She said looking at me. “Sutton.” I said. She sighed. She slid off her jacket and there was bruises all over her shoulders and back. So much anger built up inside me. Cats can’t heal as fast as wolfs, or coyotes can. They take a little bit longer to heal. “Sutton, where the hell is he right now?” I asked. “Xavier you are not going to do nothing. Please.” She said with tears coming down her cheeks. I grabbed her hand. “No one is ever going to hurt you. Ever. And that is the truth.  If someone hurts you, I will hurt them.” I informed. I looked closer at the bruises. They made me madder, where my eyes started to turn. “Xavier, calm down.” She demanded. Someone grabbed my shoulder and kissed me. Jace… My temper started to calm down. He leaned away. He stared me into the eyes making sure I was ok. I nodded. He turned to Sutton and seen her bruises. “Who the hell did this?” He asked. “Don’t.” Sutton pointed a finger at him. “I want to know who the hell hurt you like that!” Jace shouted. Sutton flinched. “I think you already know who,” I told Jace. “Ash did this to you?” He asked. He walked back into the house. Oh god. What is he doing. Couple seconds later, he walked out with a gun in his back pocket. “Jace!” I shouted grabbing the gun out of his back pocket. “Give it back Xavier.” Jace demanded. “No! I am doing this. No one else. And no guns. Put this away!” I demanded. He clinched his teeth together and grabbed the gun. He walked back into the house. “Xavier you are not going to do anything either.” Sutton demanded. “The hell I’m not.” I said crossing my arms. “This is my battle. Nobody else’s.” She explained. “Why do you let him do this to you? You could kill him instantly.” I pointed out. “Because, I love him Xavier. He just has a temper. But I love that guy so much. I can’t do anything to kill him.” She cried out. “That is not love. He does not love you if he does that to you Sutton.” I informed. “YES HE DOES! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS!” She shouts at me and runs off. I gulped. I do know what love is. Obviously. But she is right, this is her battle. I need to respect that. If I see him her again, I will not respect anything. I will kill him. I walked back into the house. “I am going to bed.” Ivan smiled and walked upstairs. Jace walked in from the kitchen. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around him. “If Ash hurts Sutton one more time, there won’t be no stopping me.” I explained. He glided his hands up and down my back. “I know. Trust me, I want to kill him myself also.” Jace giggled. We turned off the lights and locked the doors. Then we walked upstairs to go to bed. “I took of my shirt and pants. Only leaving me in my boxers. I crawled into my bed. Jace came back from the bathroom in his Calvin Kline boxers and crawled up next to me. I leaned over on his chest. His hard, cushioned chest is such an amazing pillow. I giggled in my head. He glided his fingers up and down my arm. “If you could go back into the past, what would you do?” I asked. Jace looked down at me and giggled. “Why are you so random?” He asked me. “Why aren’t you?” I asked sarcastically. We both giggled. “Well to answer your question, I would probably fix my parent’s being dead.” He informed me. I nodded. I knew he would say that. “Good night Xavier.” He said and kissed my head. “Good night baby.” I responded and he turned off the lamp. I counted in my head from 100 to 0 so I could fall asleep. Soon enough, I fell asleep in his arms.
