The Italian Boys

Regret

I was angry at Dax and myself he fixed us and I broke us again it's been me I'm the problem ofc now Omar's friends hate me even more I could hear my siblings arguing with Dax in the next room

But I couldn't bring myself to confront him it wasn't his secret to tell with everything going on my parents were called to come home I locked myself in my room until my parents arrived

“Pollo open the door” My dad said knocking on the door repeatedly I got up and opened the door my parents walked in and immediately checked out my arms making sure I didn't cut

“Your siblings won't tell us what happened without yelling at each other so Pollo what happened?” My mom asked we all sat on my bed

“i messed up mom and dad Omar didn't cheat on me with Nathan he was raped Dax punched him in the face we talked we fixed us Dax and Omar were arguing and he told Omar what happened in Italy i had sex with Sammie” I sobbed just thinking about it

“I couldn't even look him in the eyes” I choked out my parents both sighed and embraced me they just let me cry until I couldn't anymore “Pollo your our son and we love you and maybe just maybe you and Omar weren't meant to be” My mom whispered into my ear she sent my dad out of the room sometime ago

“I destroyed us mom.. it's all my fault” I said my voice cracking “No sweetheart it wasn't Dax's secret to tell it was yours and you would have told him when you were ready” My mom said

I gulped he told me his secret why couldn't I just be honest after awhile my mom left me alone to get some rest I picked up my phone my fingers hovering over Omar's contact.

Maryanna Torres

My son is hurting and Omar is hurting too I have to admit Pollo was very wrong for wanting to continue their relationship without telling Omar the Truth

I went to my husband and sat on our bed “Honey I think we should go see Omar” I said to my husband Leonard he looked up at me confused

“Why?” He asked “He was raped Leo he must be hurting terribly and having no one there must be horrible having to go through it alone I'd never wish that on Pollo” I explained

“I'll get my keys” Leonard said it didn't take long to find out Omar's address Leo and I went up and knocked on the door it took a few minutes before Omar answered he looked completely broken

“Mr and Mrs Torres..” He looked down and away from us “Can we come in?” I asked softly he nodded and moved to the side letting us in this poor boy living all alone

“Omar we'd like to speak to you” Leo said as we sat down Omar was scratching at his arm it gained my attention “We heard Pollo's side at what happened now we want yours” Leo said

Omar's eyes snapped to the ground at the mention of Pollo's name “I cheated.. there's nothing more” Omar said I gently placed my hand on him “Omar we knew you were raped you don't have to lie to us it's okay we know Dax told you that Pollo had sex with Samuel” I said his eyes welled with tears

And closed shut “I don't..I can't..” Omar looked away from us sobbing my mother instincts kicked in and I stood up wrapping my arms around him he just needed someone right now

“Omar sweetheart it's okay we're not angry at you” I said Omar blinked away his tears and sniffed “When Pollo accused me of cheating on him I was begging Nathan to leave Dax came he punched me in the face Pollo said he needed a break I didn't want to feel Nathan... Raped me that day I couldn't go to school worried he'd do it again I tried to fix us I love him” Omar said he still didn't make eye contact with us

“I didn't want to believe Pollo would have sex with somebody else because he is...he was my Pollo my sweets he loved me and I loved him” Omar said correcting himself

“So uhm you don't have to worry about me anymore invading your home and stuff it's over between us.. would you just give this back to Pollo” Omar said removing a ring and necklace

He hesitated but still put it into a box handing it to us “I know he's your son and I just.. nevermind” Omar said

“Omar where are your parents?” Leo asked “I don't live with them anymore I moved out when I turned 18 they were horrible I'm okay living on my own” Omar said he was scratching his arm again

“What's wrong with your arm I noticed you've been scratching at it” I said he pulled up his sleeves revealing Cuts And burn marks “I can't help it” Omar mumbled I gasped

“Omar you don't have to go through all of this alone we may be Pollo's parents but 18 or not your still a kid you need someone to take care of you” Leo said he surprised me honestly

“I'm fine really” Omar said I had to force myself not to hold his hand and stop him from scratching “Here's what's going to happen we have a tiny house built at the back of our house you don't need to see Pollo or anyone you can stay there Lydia will bring you food and it's big stuff for you” Leo said

“Anything you need just tell Lydia and she will inform us and we'll get it you can bring anything you want and we'll keep the boys away from you” I said

“Mr and Mrs Torres I can't accept that” Omar said “We'll get you help with the scratching and whatever else is bothering you as long as we know your okay and alive” Leo said it took a lot of convincing but Omar finally agreed

He packed whatever he needed clothes,shoes, bathroom supplies and followed us home Leo went first I took Omar around back to the house he looked at me uncertain “It's yours now Leo will bring the keys and the guards will bring your things make yourself at home” I said smiling at him

Going back into the main house I heard yelling coming from the living room the children and Leo “ENOUGH!”i shouted gaining everyone's attention “This has to stop we're a family the Torres don't mistreat others they don't insult others especially in this house all of you were wrong Dax Pollo's secret was never yours to tell you had no right to come between his relationship with Omar NONE!” I was tired of all the arguing in this house

“But mom you can't bring him to live here” Dax said

“I can do whatever I want we're the parents we make the money it's our house that boy has been through so much his parents they don't care about him and yet he manages good grades in school he was raped and he managed to fix his relationship with Pollo this needs to stop! I don't wanna hear another word from any of you about Omar you will learn to respect him and you will apologize to him and his friends again! All of you including Pollo is grounded all car keys, credit cards, phones, everything needs to be on this table in 20 minutes or less” I said

Immediately they began dropping their phones,keys credit cards and whatever else they had Dax was so angry and I didn't know why he never hated Omar

“Like your mother said Apologize to Omar Dax will go last” Leo said and lead me away from the living room god what will I do with a house filled with teenagers

Teenagers with so much emotion.
