Ivy's POV

After we get dinner we all walk up to our rooms. I swipe my key card and Mik and I walk in. I am so excited that I am sharing a room with the one and only Gottmik. We have been bonding well so I'm happy.

"Hey Ivy?" Mik asked. "Yeah." "Can you come here real quick?" He said. "Yeah what's up?" I was kinda confused, I hope he didn't ask anything about my scars.

"I wanted to talk to your real quick. I saw you looking at my top surgery scars and I was just wondering why." Ok, he didn't ask about my scars but he asked why I was looking at his. I hate when people look at my scars so he must have felt the same way.

Wait also what do I say? I have been questioning my gender for so long then when I see trans men that have top surgery I wish I had those scars.

"U-um...I-I." I didn't know what to say. Gottmik was looking at me waiting for an answer; all I could do was sit there speechless.

I felt a tear drip down my face. Then another, then I was crying. I was thinking about how much I wanted to be out of this body. How I wish I had been born in the right body.

For all these years I had longed for comfort in my body and I never found it. So I hurt myself and wish I could be in the right body.

"Mik, I think I-I. I'm." He cut me off before I could finish. "I know baby." I cried even harder.

"Hey, hey, It's ok I'm right here." Mik's voice was soothing. "I know what it feels like. The feeling of discomfort in your body. The feeling of wishing you were born into the right body. Wishing you had comfort in your body but you can find it, so you hurt yourself. I don't want you to be on this journey alone. I am here for you anytime."'

I put my head on his chest and cried. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. I said quietly "I have been struggling with my gender forever. I never had anyone to help me. I never felt like I fit in with the rest of the girls in my class."

I saw a tear drip down Mik's face as I spoke. "You will never have to go through anything like this alone ever again." When he said this I cried even harder. "I love you," I said to Mik through tears. "I love you too."

-----2 hours earlier-----

Kade's POV

After dinner, we went back up to our rooms. Danny was giving me a concerned eye the whole time we were in the elevator. Did my swimsuit slip? Did he hear me crying earlier? I started shaking slightly but it was enough for Danny and Sutan to notice.

"You ok bud?" Danny said while hugging me. "Y-yeah," I reply stuttering. "I can tell you're not, Kade. It's ok if you're not ok." Raja joined in on the hug while saying this.

"Can we just talk about this later?" I was shaking a lot at this point so Danny just dropped it.

We got to our rooms and I walked straight to the bathroom. I sat down on the floor and started to cry. I couldn't take it anymore. I had been so bottled up and it all came coming out in one second. I had been keeping a secret from the people I love the most for so long. It took everything in me to not hurt myself at that moment.

I suddenly hear a knock at the door. "Kade? I can hear you crying in there. Please open the door." It was Danny... Fuck. "I want to make sure you are ok. Please open the door." I get up from the floor shakily and open the door hesitantly.

I open the door and I am instantly pulled into a hug by Danny. He always calmed me down when he gave me hugs. But this time was different. I didn't want him to touch me. His touch felt so familiar. Like me fathers.

"DON'T TOUCH ME" I yell. "What is wrong Kade? I just want to help you!" I knew what he was saying was true but my brain was filled with so much darkness I couldn't see it. "NO, YOU DON'T! YOU JUST WANT TO HURT ME LIKE MY FATHER!" I ran as fast as I possibly could out of the room.

I didn't know where I was going I just knew that I needed to be away from everything and everyone. Before I knew it I was in the streets of San Diego. I had nowhere to go. I ran as far as my legs would take me. I ran track in school so it was pretty far.

I eventually found a gas station. I pulled out the two dollars I had in my pocket. Went inside and got a bottle of water. I walked back out and sat down on the curb. I started sobbing. I just ruined the relationship I had built with Danny. And if I went back I would have to tell him everything. Suddenly I hear a voice.

"Hey, kid are you ok?" I turned around to see a bald man holding a cigarette. "Y-yeah, I'm good." I lied " Who are you?" I questioned, "My name is Brian McCook." He seemed friendly but I still couldn't trust him. "Nice to meet you, Brian," I said with a fake smile. "You look familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?" Brian asked. "Fuck, does he know Danny?" I thought. "U-Um, I don't think so." I hope he didn't know Danny.

"Where are your parents?" I was dreading that question. "At the hotel," I spoke still out of breath. "What hotel?" Danm why did he have to ask so many questions? "I don't know. Somewhere by the pier." I responded reluctantly. "Let me call my friend Adore to see if she knows what to do." Fuck he was friends with Danny. "No, I- I'll find my way back." I lied again. "It's really no problem." I wanted to get up and run but my legs were so tired.

Raja's POV

It had been almost an hour since Kade had run out of the room. Adore had been sobbing. I felt really bad for her. Bianca and Gottmik had gone looking for Kade while I stayed with Adore.

"Adore it will be ok I promise." I tried to console her but it wasn't helping.

Suddenly, She got a call from Kayta. I wonder why she was calling. Adore put the phone on speaker.

Danny's POV

"H-hey Kayta," I said sniffling. "Hey, doll are you in San Diego right now?" Kayta asked, "Yeah, I am why?" I was very confused. "Well I found this kid at a gas station down the road and I don't know what to do. You adopted some kids so I thought to call you."

I was about to answer but then I heard Kade's voice on the other end of the line. "I told you I was fine. Let...Me...Go." I started to cry after I heard Kade's voice. "Hey, Kayta, Gottmik and Bianca will be down there in just a minute."

I wanted to go down there so bad but I knew that I couldn't because I was the reason he ran out of the room in the first place. "Ok. Love you" Kayta said "Love you too."

I started to sob when Kayta hung up the phone. Raja came over to me and wrapped me in her long arms. She always knew how to make me feel better.
