KRYAN

Chap. 21

*Bryan*

I never really liked school. When I was younger some of the kids would beat my ass and make fun of me because I didn't really fit in. I was the smallest kid in class and it didn't help that I had dead parents. Other parents would drive past me, splashing me with rain water, when I walked home alone. Kids would come to school on Christmas showing me all the crap they got from Santa and I didn't get not one thing. Not even a hug.

Then I met Aaron, Asher, and Colton when I was nine. Aaron was two years older so that automatically made him cooler but Asher and Colton were the same age as me. Asher and Colton were best friends and they had got beaten up by my bullies at lunch one day for being 'gay'. Aaron beat up our bullies and taught us how to fight. After that nobody ever got in our way again. Aaron protected us and taught us things no guidance counselor could. He protected us until the fallout between him and Asher. After that, everything changed.

He switched schools and joined TGR. TGR was a gang way worse than eight year old school bullies. He vowed to get revenge on all of us because we'd taken Asher's side. And now he wants to hurt Kylie.

I won't let that happen. I will do everyth-

I'm off topic.

Eventually we got buffer and girls started to like that. So we'd usually make out with a girl or two and that's it. I lost my virginity to a brunette named Georgia and never saw her again. I met Veronica and she was easy so I slept with her. But Veronica got this crazy idea we were dating, even though I never said that, and started stalking me. I also used that to my advantage.

I slept with some girl named Tessa and Veronica flipped. She started making up rumors about how I slept with 30 girls at our school and that's how the rumor got started that I've slept with all the girls at school. News flash, I fucking didn't.

Veronica told everyone at school that Tessa slept with her cousin and had herpes. Tessa was bullied so bad she had to move to a different town. I tried to help Tessa but she just gave up and moved away. I wasn't as popular back then, I was just another attractive guy to most people. I didn't have any power over the douche dick seniors.

I would love to see them stop me now.

But anyway, I kept Veronica around because she was desperate enough to still fuck me even though I would make out with girls in front of her. She was easy and I liked that at first. I thought Veronica was what I wanted but, as I'm sitting here telling Kylie this story, I realize Kylie is the one I want. No matter how hard I deny it, I like Kylie more than a fling.

She fixes her hair for the third time in 10 minutes. She always fixes her hair and it's never really bothered me until now. Why does she do that? "Why do you do that?" I ask, sipping my soda.

She looks at me in confusion. Does she even know she's doing it? "Do what?" She asks fixing her hair again.

I shake my head and look her in the eyes. She has really pretty brown eyes. They're sort of chestnut an-

I'm getting off topic again.

"What do you think? Do you believe me?" I ask. I really want her to believe me.

"Yes, I believe you. I was wondering how an 18 year old boy slept with all of these girls and didn't have at least one STI. I never would've guessed you and Aaron were friends though," She says.

"We found it!" Asher yells. Him, Colton and Jesse went to look for Monopoly and some other board games to keep us occupied.

Kylie was still worried about skipping school but I told her Mr. Katen will take care of that for us.

Kylie sits at the head of the table with Jesse on her left and me on her right. Asher sits beside Jesse and Colton sits beside me. Asher sets up the game while Colton passes out pouches of fruit snacks.

He smirks at Asher. "These are for you."

Asher glares at him and throws a gummy at his face.  "Haha very funny."

The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly and soon we're all on the floor with sleeping bags covering our ears. Jesse is making us have a sleep over movie night and she picked the movie Frozen. She is now butchering Let It Go and when we tell her she can't sing, she sings louder.

Kylie is the only one sleeping. I'm guessing since she has to deal with this shit on a regular basis, she doesn't even hear it anymore. I tune Jesse out and focus on Kylie.

She's on the sleeping bag beside mine sleeping peacefully. I watch the rise and fall of her chest until  I'm sleeping just as peaceful as she is.

BANG!

"DEREK!!!!"

I open my eyes suddenly, clutching my teddy bear Rudy. Mommy! I run towards the sound as fast as I can.

Mommy's crying over a bloody daddy while a big man with a gun is pointing it at her. "Please don't kill me! I have a son! We gave you all the money we had!"

"It's not enough."

The man shoots mommy and I cry out. "MOMMY!!"

My eyes open with fear. I'm sweating bullets and my throat feels like I haven't drunk water in days. I look beside me and Kylie is staring at me wide eyed. I turn away in shame.

I can't believe I let her see me like this.

I hear some ruffled noises and a small hand tugs me toward an empty room. The clock reads 5:42 am.

Kylie sits beside me and puts my hand in hers. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Hell no."

"Well if you ever need someone to talk t-"

"I know," I interrupt.

She slips her hand out of mine and starts to walk away but I pull her back. "Can you lay in here with me? I don't want to sleep alone."

She agrees and we end up under the covers facing each other. I do what I did earlier and watch her sleep.

I didn't have another nightmare.
