Boys Home

Thirteen

It has been almost a year since I have lived with the guys and I would say I have gotten a little bit better but not a lot. Anyways today was going to be a hard day...it's the first time I will be seeing my dad sober. Ash is driving while I practically have a anxiety attack next to him, he places a hand on my thigh squeezing lightly. "I will be right there" He says pulling into the prison my dad was placed in. "He has been drunk my whole life and this will be the first time he will see me sober" I admit. Ash parks the car, leans over and kisses my lips. I sigh and kiss him back. He pulls away with a soft smile. "Like I said, I will be right there with you" He said.

I nod my head then we get out of the car and walk into the prison. We go through everything at the front and a guard leads us to a room with a bunch of tables. That's when I see him, he is seated at a table hands interlaced and on the table. We walk up to the table and I sit across from him, Ash sitting next to me. "H-Hello D-Dad" I stutter. His tried and very dull brown eyes find mine. "Luke?" He asked sitting up straight. "You look different" He says. I don't even know what to say to him. "How are you?" He asked. I chuckle lightly but immediately cover my mouth. "What is so funny?" He asked a glare taking over his face. "I think it funny how you want to ask me how I am like you didn't make my life a living hell" I says glaring back.

"Is that anyway to talk to the person who took care of you?" He scoffs. I grit my teeth. "That's because mom couldn't! I know what you did!" I yell. Ash grabs my hand, I turn my attention to him and he kisses my lips calming me down. I lean against him a little taking a deep breath, then I turn back to my dad who is eyeing Ash. "And what exactly did I do to your mother Luke" He asked turning to me. "You killed her" I mumble. I hint of guilt and sadness flickers in his eyes. "I loved your mother" He said looking down. "No you didn't, all you ever did was drink and yell at her" I say. "You have no idea what I have been threw Luke" He snaps at me. My eyes widen and I slam my hands on the table.

"What YOU have been through!? What about me!? I was a kid! I was just a child when you...you hurt me! When you hurt mom!" I yell. "You have no idea what you have done to me! The nightmares, and the scars..." I say softly. Ash wraps an arm around my waist pulling me closer and kissing my cheek. "I wanna leave" I whimper. Ash nods standing up bringing me with him. We start walking away and I don't look back, I can't not after everything he has done to me.

Once we get back to the house Wyatt immediately picks me up in a bone crushing hug. "W-Wyatt I can't b-breath" I mumble. "I missed you!" He says setting me down. "I was only gone for two hours" I say then kiss his cheek. "Matthew can we talk" Ash asked walking over to where Matthew is sitting in the living room. "Of course" Matthew grabs Ash's hand and they walk into the kitchen. "How did seeing your dad go?" Wyatt asked. I look back over at him and shrug my shoulders. "I'd rather forget" I answer walking up the stairs with Wyatt following me. "That bad" He says. I nod and open my bedroom door, Wyatt walks in and I roll my eyes but can't help the small smile on my face.

"I'm just glad I had Ash with me" I admit. Wyatt sits in my desk chair facing me and I sit on my bed. Someone else walks in and I turn to see Luka, he walks over to me sitting down next to me. I wraps my arms around him bringing him onto my lap. "What's up?" I ask. "It's movie night and you are cuddling with me" He says. "Okay" I say. "Let's go then!" Luka says getting off my lap and pulling me up as well. I smile softly as I let Luka drag me out of my room and into the living room. Ash and Matthew are already there, Matthew's arm over Ash's shoulders. I sit down and Luka makes himself comfortable cuddled up next to me. Wyatt sits on my other side. "What are we watching today Luka?" Matthew asked.

Luka switch's the TV onto Netflix and scrolls thought the many movies. "I don't know yet" He mumbles. Wyatt grabs my chin and presses our lips together in a surprise kiss. He pulls away with a smirk. "W-What was that for?" I ask a blush on my face. "It's going to take him awhile to pick a movie" He says then presses his lips to mine again. "Hey! We are watching a movie!" Luka swats at Wyatt who pulls away. "Guess it didn't take him awhile" Wyatt mutters with an eye roll. I giggle a little then turn to Luka placing a kiss on the nose. He smiles then looks back at the TV and so do I.
