Always Been You

Chapter 31

Malakai's POV
"Is there something wrong with me?"

"No!"

"Malakai I told you it was bad!"

I could tell she was hugging him tighter. The look Mal gave me was a mixture between anger and sadness.

"We should've listened to you! I should've stayed with kids my age!"

Now he's holding her tighter. I could tell her legs were getting weak.

"She needs to sit down."

Mal let go of her then she ran over to me. Now it's my turn to hug her. My back was started to hurt so I laid down. She got on the bed next to me. I started hugging her.

"I hate people!"

"I hate people sometimes too."

"I'm scared everyone is gonna be right!"

"Right about what?"

"Right about you killing me!"

I sat up.

"I told you in the car. We're NOT killing you!"

"Uncle Malakai? Are you going to hurt me how my dad did?"

"WHAT?! NO!"

"Mal go call a doctor."

He grabbed his phone then walked away.

"Hey look at me. I'm not killing you. Your uncle isn't killing you and or me. He won't turn into your dad. He's not going to do that to you."

"What if someone else does?"

"Then your uncle is mostly likely kicking somebody's ass."

"Are you lying to me?"

"No! Why do you think I'm lying?"

"When the baby comes you're gonna ignore me."

"Honey no. We're not going to ignore you. We're just gonna need help."

"Will my dad take me like how your step dad took you?"

"No. You're dad is NEVER going to see you again. If he's nice enough to not put you through a trial then he'll plead guilty. If he doesn't then we're gonna get you through it."

She's hiding something.

"Can you get your phone?"

"Why?"

"I need to see something."

She walked away then came back shorty after. She handed me her phone.

I knew it!

"MALAKAI! COME HERE!"

He ran into our room.

"What's wrong?!"

"Give him your phone."

She handed him her phone. Now I know he's pissed off.

"They are so fucking lucky they're kids! If they weren't I'd knock them all out!"

"Am I in trouble?"

"No.You're not."

Her phone kept going off.

"Do you know your number?"

"No."

"Rose stay here. I'm getting her number changed."

"Am I going to lose all my messages from my mom?"

"I don't think so."

"Aunt Rose can you come with us?"
