Carve My Name

Chapter 13

Jackson slipped his fingers in mine and interlocked our hands together. "Kyra, I really like you..." he said. His words left me in confusion. "No no no.." I whispered under my breath. I was in shock at his words and his hot minty breath mixing with mine left me in a panic. Was this real?

He didn't seem to notice my slight panicked whispers because his soft, slightly chapped lips were soon planted on mine. The so called kiss only lasted two seconds before I shoved him away from me. I had heard the door creak open. My assumptions were confirmed when I saw Dylan standing in the doorway in shock.  "What the heck Kyra?" he yelled and stormed towards me.

I stumbled back and brought my arms to cover my eyes. I hated seeing Dylan like this. It wasn't what he used to be like and it broke my heart. He became so bitter after we found out Blake had passed.

His fist was curled up and he pulled it back ready to punch when thankfully and right on time mom and dad walked in the door. Their cheerful laughter and bright smiles faded as they realized what was going on.  

"Dylan what are you doing?" my mom asked with anger and hurt laced into her honey sweet voice. I had heard her like this many times before, but this time it wasn't directed towards me. It was towards my oh so dearly beloved brother.  My father was a whole other topic. He was in shock but more in anger. He never tolerated violence, and abuse was his number one most hated thing, boy bands being the next.

"Dylan, here, front and center. Now!" My dad's voice was cold and harsh, something that rarely took place. Mom sighed. "Jackson, Kyra lets go to the hallway." My mom walked out of the door silently and we trailed out behind her quietly.

"Would either of you like to explain what we walked in on?" she pondered.

"Uhhmm.. well let me start first." I stated quietly, my voice quivered. "Dylan had beaten me, like an abusive beating." I lifted the old t-shirt up to reveal the purplish bruise starting to from.

My mom gasped and her eyes watered. I continued to speak. "This has been going on since around the time we found out Blake had passed. But this time, Jackson was here to help me up afterwards. I was explaining the events that occurred that no one had a clue about. Jackson listened and didn't interrupt once."

I took that as my chance to look up at Jackson and give him a grateful smile.

"Dylan walked back in and saw me and Jackson talking. He obviously got even angrier and was going to hit me again when you and dad walked in. Now we're here." I finished my story with a small smile at my mom, scared of what she was going to say.

"No, that cant be true! Dylan is always the sweetest person." she stated with a small gulp. She knew it was true in the back of her mind, but she just didn't want to believe it.  

"Mrs. Wilson, its true. After what I saw today, I believe her over Dylan any day." his voice wavered and my mom walked back inside the room.

The door shut and the yelling stopped. Me being the curious person that I am, I leaned against the door to listen. Although the voices were hushed and quiet, obviously they didn't want to be heard.

"Detention center is the best option for now. Military school is not an option. Its pricey, and its just not an option." the voice stated. It was hard to tell who said what because it was so soft, but I could still hear the words exchanged.

"well I don't want him leaving, but I do agree that he should go. Its not safe for him to be around with this issue." Obviously that was my mom.. After Blake, Dylan became her favorite child. I turned around and looked at Jackson, "Detention Center" I whispered softly as I moved away from the door. He nodded softly, indicating he had heard and agreed with the choice.

The door finally opened and my parents walked out with a fuming Dylan trailing behind.  "Detention Center will be Dylan's home for  a few months. We are taking him now. Anything either of you want to say to him?" my dads gruff voice was strained.

"Yo man, you know you're my best friend, but dude. What you did to your sister is horrendous. I can't be friends with you unless you fix this problem. I'm sorry." Jackson said before patting Dylan on the shoulder.

I stayed silent for a few moments as they walked down the hallway. "Dylan! I forgive you, and so did Blake. We can get this fixed and solved. I love you bubba." I called out, using the old nickname I had used for him in the past.

A small smile appeared on both my parents faces as they continued down the hallway and into the new chapter of our lives.

"Kyra, im so sorry, but I have to get home. Are you okay here? Or would you like to come with me?" he asked. I knew he was genuinely concerned so I quickly assured him I would be okay. He turned to walk off but I quickly grabbed his wrist a puled him back. His blue eyes sparkled in wonder as I lifted myself onto my tippy toes and pressed a kiss to his lips.

Shock settled in but he soon kissed me back. I pulled away. "See you at school?" I asked with a small smile tugging at my lips.

"Yeah."  His voice was breathless and he was smiling like a maniac. He leaned down once more and pecked my lips before turning around and walking down the hotel hallway on his way back home.

I walked back inside the room and shut the door, sliding down with my back pressed on the door, I let out a contented sigh. I didn't want to get up, but I needed to text Abbi! I got up and walked to the desk where my phone had sat through he whole day. But instead of zero notifications, like normal. One unread text message glowed on the screen.

UNKNOWN-  "Now that Dylan has done his job, my part is only getting easier with time. Better get practicing for nationals sweetheart. Or say goodbye to the last piece of Blake you have left. Lover boy cant help you now."
