Adopted By A Drag Queen

Chapter 20. Bad Nostalgia

Tw. Bullying, Violence, R@pe

Kade's POV

Knoxville was fun yesterday, we explored the downtown area before the show and it was fun. Ivy told me about what had happened the previous night, I was a little upset. I wish he had told me. I knew that the hate was getting bad. I should have done something. I could have protected them.

It's been a hard day for both Ivy and I. We arrived in Grand Rapids that morning and we have been in bed all day.

"Guys you have to get up at least." Danny came to our bunks and spoke. I groaned not wanting to get up. "Come on you two." I heard a voice that was one that I heard rarely.

I opened the curtain and I saw Jan out of drag. Why was she here? Anyways.

"I'm up, I'm up." I got out of bed and changed into sweatpants and a Monet X Change crewneck sweatshirt. This was probably my favorite sweatshirt I have ever owned.

I went to the bathroom and did my daily routine. When I came out I found Ivy curled up on Kerri's lap. Cuties. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of the sight before they saw me.

I made myself a cup of coffee and felt the caffeine hit me. The caffeine didn't help the fact that I was mortified for today. I wanted to sleep all day and just pretend that we weren't here. At the looks of Ivy, I think he agrees.

✨✨✨

Once we were all up and ready for the day, some of us went downtown. It's not the greatest place to be, but it was mine and Ivy's childhood. Ivy and I were everybody's tour guide. We showed them all of the cute nooks of the city and some of the touristy areas.

We were eating at a little coffee shop that Ivy and I used to go to all the time until someone caught my eye.

"Ivy," I whispered in their ear. "Hm," They looked up from their pastry in front of them. "Aiden, ten o'clock." Ivy glanced over to where Aiden was standing. "We have to leave, now." Ivy and I had a look of fear in our eyes.

Aiden, how to explain. Aiden is your casual school bully. Except he is the worst person I have ever met. Him and his little posey would constantly beat Ivy and I up for no reason. He just liked seeing people hurt.

One of his 'friends', Connor, found a liking for Ivy, but they obviously didn't like him. He got too handsy with them and sexually harassed them multiple times. I beat the ever loving crap out of him but Aiden eventually got to me.

"Danny, we need to leave." I told the man sitting to my right. "How come?" He responded confused. "We just do." I said not wanting to explain the pathetic reasoning.

"Okay, we can go." I looked at Ivy and he looked like he was on the verge of an anxiety attack. "Breathe, it's okay." I whispered in his ear. He nodded and copied my breathing. All of the queens stood up and we were about to leave, when Aiden saw me and stared daggers into my eyes. Fuck.

"He saw us, we need to go now." I told Ivy and panicked. "Danny can we go please." I said to him while he was talking with Alyssa. "Yeah we are leaving, you okay kid?" He asked once more. "I'm good we just... we can't be here." I said and started to walk out of the door with Ivy leaving the rest for the group behind us.

We exit the café and almost immediately I hear the sound of Aiden's grading voice.

"I see you guys came back for me." I rolled my eyes hard and kept walking. "I didn't say you could leave." He yelled and almost on cue his stupid boy posey came in front of us blocking us from walking any farther.

"What do you guys want?" Ivy spoke up in more of a whisper. "You know what I want." Conner spoke in an annoyingly seductive way to Ivy. I almost punched him in his mouth.
