Next Generation (Book 4)

History

|Rory's POV|

I can't believe that I just told Sebastian of all people that Kyle has hit me before. I didn't need to look at his face to know that he was livid. I know the rest of the men in this family will be when they hear the news. It's only a matter of time before I say it.

Kyle is starting to freak me out and his behavior like this is one of the reasons I stuck around so long. Call me stupid, I know. The first time he hit me, he said it was an accident. There had been pushing and shoving between the two of us so that's what I chalked it up to. The first time, unfortunately, wasn't the last time.

|Flashback 1|

I was leaving the NXT office when my phone started going off. I looked to see I had a ton of notifications, more than usual. Also had text messages from my siblings and some friends. I decided to check the notifications first and there I was on a teen drama page and the headline read:

Trouble Aurora Levesque Caught In a Love Triangle

Pages like these could pick up anything. Whoever was running them had a lot of time on their hands and whatever someone of influence posted, they'd repost. Some stories were a reach, some weren't. Kyle got more attention from being with me. We'd post each other and get reposted quite a bit.

I stopped dead in my tracks once I read further. I looked through the thread to see pictures of Kyle out with a girl I had never seen before. The first pictures looked semi-innocent. They looked to be at some party and there was a video of them making out.

I took screenshots of what I saw and texted them to Kyle.

Are you fucking kidding me, Kyle?!

I tried calling him, no answer. Finally he texted me back to meet him at his apartment. I was still stuck in the parking lot taking all this in. I was pissed. I didn't want to talk to any of my family. I put my phone on DND and got in my car, heading to confront Kyle.

I'm outside.

Doors unlocked.

I got out and went to his door. I went in and there he was, sitting on his couch, playing a game. He didn't even greet me. I went and stood in front of the TV.

"We need to talk, now!"

I watched him take his headset off and place the controller on the coffee table. He got up moving past me and turned off the system. He tried to kiss me, but I stepped back.

"You hungry?"

"Kyle, I said we need to talk."

"I ordered..."

"Stop! What the hell is going on? You've been weird lately about being around me. You've been going out more than usual. Now I see shit like this? What the hell?"

"You need to calm down."

"Calm down?! You need to explain to me what the fuck is going on! Who is she? Why were you kissing her?"

"Rory, listen. That kiss was nothing."

"Nothing?"

His tongue down another girl's throat and his hand up her dress was far from nothing.

"It was my boy's party. I shouldn't have been drinking. It was one kiss. I'm sorry. I just... You've been busy and I just got caught up talking to this girl. One thing led to another and we kissed."

"So this is my fault?"

"I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm saying...."

"You're saying that because I've been busy you kissed another girl. You're admitting to kissing her!"
