The Boy With A Child

Chapter 97

                                  Onyx's POV
She kept staring at her phone, the entire car ride to the hospital. She jumped outta the car before I parked.

"Hey! Get back here!"

I parked quickly. I got out and locked my car. I started running towards my sister.

"Dude don't jump outta the car like that!"

A little girl ran up to us.

"Are you my brother's friend?"

"Who's your brother?"

"River."

"Yes. I am. I'm Alexia. What's your name?"

"Kristal."

"That's a very pretty name."

She smiled.

"Thank you!"

"How old are you?"

"12."

She walked over to me.

"Hi mister! You're tall!"

Me and Alexia chuckled.

"Hi. I'm Onyx."

"Oooo! That's a cool name!"

"Thank you."

She grabbed our hands.

"My mom's over here!"

She brought us to a waiting room.

"I found them! This is Riv's girlfriend!"

"O-oh no. I-I'm not his girlfriend. We're just friends."

"For now." I whispered into her ear.

She stepped on my foot.

"So you're Alexia. And you are?"

"I'm her older brother Onyx."

"I'm Dakota."

"So how is he?"

"Getting moved into recovery now."

"If you're not dating then...why do you have his necklace on?"

"I have no idea. He just gave me it outta nowhere."

"He must really like you then."

Alexia punched me in the stomach.

"Oof!"

"He's not lying."

"Holy shit! That really hurt! Maybe...I don't need to show you, how to fight. Ow!"

"I'm telling Prim."

"No! Don't tell her or the kids! I-I'll never live it down!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"His fiancée and their kids."

"What's having a dad like?"

Me and my sister just stared at each other.

"Kris! You're not supposed to ask questions like that!"

"Uhhh. Is this a sore topic?"

"Eh. Their dad's a deadbeat who just up and left for no reason."

"Oh...fun..."

"So has it always been you three then?"

"Basically."

A nurse came over to us.

"He's waking up now. You can follow me."

Kristal grabbed Alexia's hand. She started pulling her. I started laughing.
