I Love You, Kevin Hends

Chapter Thirty-nine

May and Anthony Ari be to Ike's about ten minutes later. We stay for about an hour and talk a little bit more with Ike. It really is a very enjoyable time. May and Anthony don't appear to connect to Ike on the same level as me and Kevin have. Maybe it's the whole "gays stick together" even though no one ever says that. I think that Ike really is just more of a person that Kevin and I like anyways.

May and Anthony drive off towards my house where we all decide to meet. Kevin and I say our goodbyes to Ike and Karson and head out too.

When we get to my house we all go in the living room and talk. Mom isn't around right now. Her car is gone so she is out. I don't know where though. I really hope it is nothing bad. Kevin assures me of this when he sees my worry.

We talk and laugh for hours before the mood of the room drops in an instant.

"I still can't believe Pria wanted to kill you." May says. The sentence to bring the whole day to a day of mourning. Mourning the life that once was. "Yeah. Neither can I. That bitch hated me so much, but I never imagined she would try to kill me." I say softly. "I still think it had something to do with her finding out that Kevin fucking Hends is gay." Anthony says bluntly. "And that I was never going to date Addison Stone." Kevin adds. "Addison is where she needs to be. She is a despicable person who my profanity has lost all pleasure when aimed at her. Nothing sounds insulting enough anymore. It all just feels like child's play." May groans. Anthony opens his mouth to make a Chucky comment. "Not a word!" May scolds him. He closes his mouth immediately without so much as a sound. The room is silent for a few minutes.

The silence is broken by the front door opening and Dad walking in. "Oh. I didn't know we were having company." He says awkwardly. I can tell that he has had a hard day and I do not need to ask about it. "Don't mind me." He says as he goes in the fridge and grabs a beer. He then walks to his study and closes the door. I hear the television turn on and I know that is the last I will see of him tonight.

"This whole Pria thing is so fucking fucked up." May says. "It really is, May." Anthony says. "Call me Princess Death Light." May says. "You sound like a comic book villain." I say. "Likely from The Boys." Kevin adds. "As long as I'm not part of the 7." May responds with a laugh. "I refuse to call you that." I say. "It was just a thought." May says with a wicked laugh. I punch her gently in the arm.

"Who wants to play with a ouija board?" May asks after a few minutes of silence. The rest of us exchange glances. "There are a few reasons why it's a no." I say. "I don't have one and they are creepy as fuck." May groans. "But I want to play!" "No!" I scream. The room seems to shake. "Did you feel that?"I ask. "Feel what?" Kevin asks. "The room is shaking." I say. That is the last thing I remember before the room goes dark, and the world falls away.
