Veronica's POV:
I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face. I wasn't upset nor scared of Kyle, if anything I admired him for being so brave
Kyle was in a trans at this point, just staring ahead not making contact with me whatsoever. I know he feels ashamed and I hope I can save him from it all even if its for a couple of minutes.
"I admire you so much. Regardless of what you feel or think, I... I truly believe you are the bravest person I know and I want you to know that I'm not scared. Im sticking by your side now more than ever"
Kyle quickly looked up at me, his eyes sparkling as if he could burst in tears any second
"Theres more... It turns out Felix was gay. Now I respect that because love is love but he and his partner had a sick chain of child sex slaves. It was later discovered by the detectives what they had been doing. Felix's boyfriend was furious, his name is Ben. Apparently there was no evidence pinning this on ben, most of the evidence was traced back to Felix so when it was time for court, Ben was found not guilty"
That bastard. Those bastards actually. Kyle had every god damn right to kill that man, what kind of sick bastard hurts and humiliates little innocent children like that? I was sick to my stomach
"A few months pasted and I began getting strange text messages and notes inside my bedroom. Broken windows were found and it only got worse. Ben almost tried killing me, his ass got locked up and he's out veronica. He's out and he's looking for me again"
My heart dropped at the thought of anyone hurting Kyle, yet fear crept into my head as I realized I might now be a target
"We'll.... We will be okay. Right?"
He looked at me and grabbed my face with both his hands, holding a tight grip before he spoke "Baby, I will never ever in a million years let anyone or anything hurt you. Not your mom and certainly not this bastard. I will go to the ends of the world to keep you safe"
I pulled him in closer and we began a very passionate and steamy make out session
We finally broke away after what seemed like hours, both our bodies breathing hard as adrenaline filled our vain's. We stared into each others eyes before we both began laughing.
God, with all the madness we still found a way to bring smiles, laughter, and love out of even the most horrible times. It was truly refreshing and mesmerizing
I took one last look at kyle before looking out at the sunset
"I don't wanna add onto the fire but I have something to say"
I didn't turn to look at him but I could feel his gaze on mine, he didn't speak so I took this as my sign to continue
"My mom wants to have you over for dinner. She swears she's gonna be normal and I... I believe her"
I started fiddling with my hands as I began feeling so nervous, I know Kyle hates my mom
"I'll do anything for you"
••••••••••••••••••
As Kyle dropped me off, I began to feel nauseous and suddenly paranoid that administration had called my mom. It was the first day of school and I had already skipped a class
oh god. fuck, fuck, fuck.
No. Oh god please, with everything going on with Kyle, I don't need my mom hammering me with questions or starting World War III between all three of us, he needs me right now and I can't have my mom banning us
