"So, are you ever going to tell the truth about what really happened to you?" Aunt Margaret asks Jaden.
Jaden avoids her piercing gaze as he stands up to look himself in the mirror.
"But I did tell you the truth. I got hit by a ball and tripped on my feet and fell down on the pavement." He says as he looks at the fading bruises on his face that he got from his fight with Victor Krane. He then looks at his aunt through the reflection of the mirror."Do I look like an idiot Jaden? If Jackson did that to you..."
"What, no! Jackson did not hit me. I promise that he did not hurt me. Auntie, can you please just trust me when I say that I fell and hit my head?" Jaden walks towards his bed where his aunt sits and holds her hands, looking straight into her eyes.Aunt Margaret contemplates believing the boy. She narrows her eyes and says,"I thought you were hit by a ball. "
Jaden groans and rolls his eyes.
" Auntieeeeeee."
"Okay, okay. Okay. I'll let this slide this one time. But if you ever get into my house looking like you were fighting demons out there, I'm calling your parents and we're gonna go straight to your white boy's house, understand me?"Jaden chuckles and nods his head." Understood. Thank you." The caramel boy hugs his worried aunt tightly.
" I love you. Now I gotta get to school. " Jaden kisses his aunt on her chick and walks out of his room.His aunt looks at the direction in which he headed in and sighs heavily. She worries that her nephew's safety could be at risk.
She take out her phone and dials her sister's number.
The phone rings as she waits for an answer."Hello. Margaret, how are you? What's wrong?"
Margaret sighs heavily once again as she hears her sister's voice flow from her phone.
"Dana, I'm worried about Jaden."
"Why? What happened? Is he alright?"
"Honestly, I don't know. Yesterday he walked in with bruises as if he was in a fight with someone. A very serious fight. I then asked him about it today and he just told me that he got hit by a ball and tripped and fell. Oh my gosh, he's as terrible a liar as you are."
Dana laughed and then after a minute Margaret joined her sister in the laughter.
Dana recovered from the laughter and said in a serious tone.
" That does sound like something I would say. Do you think he found out? "
" I don't know. But it's only a matter of time before he finds out Dana. I hope you're ready for when the day comes."
A long silence occurred.
"I will be. Goodbye sister. Thanks for the heads up."
"Alright. Say hello to Paul for me."
"HEY MARGARET. HOPE YOU'RE GOOD. SORRY... CAN'T... COME... TO... THE... PHONE."
Paul, Margaret's brother-in-law and Jaden's father said from a distant. He was grunting after each word he said.
The call cut off.Margaret chuckles as she wonders what trouble those two got themselves on.

" Hey babe."
"Hey." Jaden greets his boyfriend. Jackson smiles at Jaden and pulls him into a kiss.
"I missed you." Jaden says as he looks at his boyfriend's handsome face.
"I missed you too. And I also miss your perfect face. What happened?" Jackson says as he analyses Jaden's face."I fell and hit my head on the pavement after a ball hit my face as I was walking home yesterday." Jaden tells his boyfriend who is holding his face and still analysing his bruises.
"Mmhmm. Yeah sure. I'm sure that's what happened."Jaden's mouth drops open as he looks at Jackson, offended that he didn't believe him.
"Why does no one believe me when I tell them?"
