To New Beginning's

Chapter Three

It was lunch when Silas finally sees Kol again. He was under the tree where they had their first sort-of conversation. Silas walks over and plops down in front of Kol, who has his head down engrossed in his drawing.

Silas leans over and snatches the sketchpad; he observes the different textures in the sketch. Before he can look at the rest of it, it's grabbed from his hands.

"You know it's rude to take other people's private belongings" Kol snaps glaring at Silas.

Silas looks at Kol "How are things going?" he asked raising his eyebrows taking in Kol's appearance. His eyes, however, stop on Kol's throat. There were dark bruises shaped like a hand print.

Kol's eyes widen when he sees where Silas is looking; he pulls his hoodie up a bit more trying to hide as much as possible.

"Things are just fine," Kol says sharply.

Silas raises his eyebrows gesturing towards Kol's badly bruised neck, "Yeah, seems like it" he snaps sarcastically.

Kol frowns "maybe you should learn not to pry into other people's business".

Silas raises his hands in defeat. "You know boyfriends shouldn't treat their partners like that, though."

"I deserved this, so don't patronise Ethan" Kol snaps starting to gather his things but was stopped by Silas tugging him back down.

"You don't believe that do you Kol?" Silas asks a frown forming above his brows; Kol shrugs off Silas' grip on his wrist "Please...just leave me alone for now on" Kol sighs before leaving Silas by himself.

Kol's phone buzzes in his pocket making Kol jump slightly. He presses answer and holds the phone against his ear.

"Kol, speaking" talks openly into the speaker as he kicks a stone across the ground.

"Kol you better behave tonight and not pull any crap, Lucas is staying a few nights, and I do not need a recap of last time" Ethan grounds out as he reminisces on Kol's behaviour last time Lucas visited.

Kol's shoe freezes in the dirt at the mention of Lucas. Ethan and Lucas are like one person. Both Violent, possessive, controlling, lying, sadistic arseholes towards Kol.

Lucas and Ethan had grown up together, so it was only natural that the two of them adopted each other's traits and had no problem sharing their belongings together, and yes on Ethan's behalf that even meant Kol.

"W-what?"

"You heard me the first time Kol. I'm serious behave like the little shit you were last time, and I will take matters into my hands and, I can tell you now I won't be as kind as last time."

"Ethan..." Kol pleads, "You don't have a say in this now shut up" Ethan growls into the phone.

"Can I at least go to the mall to grab a few things when I get home?" Kol asks crossing his fingers; Ethan doesn't answer for a while, and Kol checks to see if he had hung up but it was still active, so he put it back to his ear.

"Ethan?" Kol asks again.

"I suppose but you better not go anywhere else and be back before six thirty" Ethan commands.

Kol grins "Thank you."

Kol hangs up after Ethan finishes saying what he wanted to tell Kol, and Kol frowns, "Please don't be a disaster like last time."

School ends quickly that day, and Kol searches the car park to see where Ethan had parked his motorbike. He smiles when he sees his baby under the tree, so it was in the shade.
