(Tw: mention of rape )

Blake

The music blasting music from downstairs of the house, rushed through my ears. I didn't know why I came here. After coming home from the hospital emergency, Darian hit me up to brighten mood by inviting me to this party.

I needed a moment of distraction so I agreed to. I always try my best to stay strong for the sake of my little sister. Even though we aren't related by blood she is still family.

The only person who actually brightened my day was Kyra. At that moment being with her felt exquisite. She brought up a side of me, I haven't felt in a while.

Having a reason to be smile and be happy. Don't get me wrong I love my family and the boys. After loosing my mother, a part of me died as well that night.

I haven't found the purpose of giving someone the chance to get to know the side of me buried deep down. Maybe now.

I finish the bottle of sprite in my hand before I head downstairs to find Darian. It was almost midnight, I'm not looking forward attending to school tomorrow. Either way.

Reaching the living room, finding Darian at the corner of room. I observe him making out with a girl. Her braids styled into a low ponytail.

Letting out a groan, Darian rolls his eyes as he turns around. "Sorry for ruining the moment but I dipping. Catch you up on Friday at lindy's anniversary." I say before making my way out the living room.

Passing through people, a familiar girl with her friends caught my attention. All four of them leaning against the wall in the wide hallway.

"Let's not take it too far Stella- but look at her. She things she all that. Suddenly hanging out with Blake and his friends.—

Anyways look at the picture Jonathan send me. At picture of Kyra as a toddler in the shower." I remember the girl from this afternoon near the cofffee shop. Kyra stormed away, by the sight of her.

The mention of my name, I stand still. Thank gif they didn't recognise me. I steep few steps away. Grabbing un unopened bottle of sprinkle water.

"Look at her! She looks so fat and her hair all fuzzy." Stella spats out. They all continue to laugh at the picture. Her words make want to splash the water on her. Or even knock out that Jonathan guy.

My anger rises as I notice the plastic battle almost squeezes. They have the guts to body shame a picture of Kyra when she was younger. Making my way towards them, a touch on my shoulder stops me.

"What ever you are about to do. Don't take too far, amigo. But also make them regret saying those things." I turn my head to darian giving him a cocky smile. He taps my shoulder once again before I walk off.

"Ooo who do we have here-" Daniela spits out amusingly, handing her phone over to Stella who out of the sudden glances down to the floor. Letting her long red hair covering her face.

"Cut the bullshit Daniela. I'm not here for games. Delete the picture or I-" She cuts me off.

Snatching the phone of her friends hand. She takes a step towards me, sliding her hand up my sleeve. Her touch is cold. Which makes me think, her heart is colder.

"Or what? Why do care so much about her. You barley know her Morelli. Is she hypnoticing you as well? Can't you see she only trying to get ur attention, what a gold digger. Jonathan is right. She is such a bitch, have u seen a picture." She holds her phone onto my face.
