The Boy With A Child

Chapter 28

                                  Primrose's POV
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO LEAVE?!"

Onyx walked over to me. He didn't say anything. He just handed Marionette, to me.

"Nyx?! Where are you going?!"

He walked away and I ran after him.

"Baby what's wrong?!"

He started getting dressed.

"I have to go figure out if, all of this is true."

"W-who are you going to talk to?!"

"The bitch who gave birth to me."

He threw on clean pants and a clean shirt. He put on his socks.

"Onyx don't do this! Just call Christopher! God only knows if, your mother will say the truth!"

"Y-you're right."

I put Marionette down on the bed. I cupped Onyx's face. He put his hands on top of mine.

"My whole life has been a lie?" He said as his voice cracked.

I used Onyx's phone and called Christoper. I told him everything. He said he'd come over tomorrow. Onyx didn't sleep. I heard him crying. I woke up. I started holding him.

"It's gonna be okay. Shh."

He got up. I knew he was running to Marionette's room. I walked into her room and, I saw him holding her hand while laying down. In the morning, someone rang the doorbell. I walked to the front door. I opened it. I saw Christopher standing in front of me. I was able to see, Donovan was right.

"Before I let you in this house, tell me, is it true? Is everything Donovan said, true? Are you really Onyx's father?"

"Yes. Everything is true."

My hands balled into fists. I let him inside. I slammed the front door shut then locked it.

"DADDY! SOMEONE'S HERE!"

I saw Marionette running down the stairs.

"Primy!"

Marionette ran up to me.

"Good morning! Where's your dad?"

"I-I'm right here. I-it's true isn't it?"

I looked at Onyx. He was shaking.

"W-we should've told you. I begged your mom to let me tell you."

"Is this why you were around a lot? Just to make it seem like you cared?"

"I-I do care Nyx. Please..let me explain."

"Explain what? The fact you and my mom had a one nighter?"

"T-that's the summed up version."

He turned around.

"Where the hell are you going?"

"Where do you think?!"

"Punching bag?"

"Punching bag."

He walked away.

"H-he's clearly not taking this well. Marionette go watch your father."

"But he's just mad."

"Sweetie please just go do it. I'm scared he'll do something stupid."

                                Onyx's POV
I wrapped my hands then, started punching the bag.

What the FUCK did I do to deserve this?!

Tears started forming.

I hate this family.

I knew I should've gotten emancipated.

"Daddy? What's going on?"

"I-I honestly don't know. I-I don't know."

I fell to my knees.

"Why does everyone lie to me?"

Marionette ran over to me. She sat down in front of me.

"I don't lie to you."

"I-I know. Please never lie. I feel like everyone has a habit of doing that to me."

She started hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her. I started crying.

"You're so lucky you don't know what's going on.
M-my head feels like it's spinning."

I felt a hand on my back.

"I knew I should've told you."

"This isn't right!"

I screamed into Marionette's shoulder.

"Did I do something?! Does no one want me as a son?!"

"T-that's not true. I-I've always wanted you as my son."

"My whole life, I've known you as my uncle..."

"I-I know."

I started feeling nauseous. I stood up and ran to the bathroom. I threw up in the toilet. I flushed it when I was done. I sat against the wall. I put my head back on it. I shut my eyes. I let tears fall.

"Do I even belong in this family?!"

I felt someone in my lap. I looked down. I saw my daughter.

"S-so you're telling me...Axel is my brother. Rebecca is my sister. I-is that what you're telling me? Do they know?"

"No."

"Oh great. Now all of the siblings have been lied to. I-I'm not trying to be rude. I-I hate this shit."

Primrose brought me a cold bottle of water. I started drinking it.

"Baby slow down."

"I-I need Xanax! Like right now!"

"I already had one, in my hand."

She handed me the pill. I put it in my mouth, drank some water, then swallowed.

"Prim? Why does my family hate me?"

"Love, I don't think they hate you."

"The man I grew up with, faked his death, told me he's not my dad, I learned that my fuckin cousins are actually my siblings. T-this family wants me to go insane!"

"I don't daddy."

Marionette wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I love you! You're my best friend!"
