Learning to punch

Chapter ~ 9

Threats ||Xavier Coles

Family, I have a smallish but extremely tight family. I only know one side of my grandparents which is my father's, the Coles, Holly and Kane are absolutely the nicest people you could meet and spoil me and my sister rotten.

Since my father doesn't have any real sibling, apart from Hunter who isn't related but is a family friend for a long time and has been introduced as an uncle ever since I was adopted. We don't see him much since he live in Australia, his wife Tara, two daughters and a son. Emerson, Addilyn and Caspian. We haven't met any of them in person, though we have talked over the phone or on FaceTime.

My dad has two twin siblings, Jack and Lillian. Jack lives in New York with his wife Isabella and his little boy Kole, who is completely obsessed with Autumn every time he is over.
Lillian is my aunt who's farm I stayed at for the summer holidays. Her husband Mark works as a priest at boarding school which use to be all boys but changed a few years ago, which their two identical girls go to, Cassandra and Talia.

Speaking of the two little girls, I head my name get squealed loudly, glancing at the entrance of the teaching room I grinned, carefully getting drown from the ring. "Be careful girls!" Aunty Lillian scolded walking in with Mark and my father behind her.

"Hey girlies" I greeted the identical looking girls apart from their outfits. It was Wednesday afternoon so just under a week since I left hospital, I got board at home so I decided to spend the day at the gym, I'm allowed to do light work for now.

"We can't believe what happened to you, I'm so sorry" Lillian said walking over and pulling me in a hug, I smiled hugging her back "they got what they deserved"  which I they did, none who were involved were in school anymore and apparently the school has upped the security so nothing like it happens again.

"Jack bought a privet jet, since he had the money to spare" Lillian said shaking her head, I chuckled Jack had always been one to have big hands and deep Pockets. Though Isabella keeps him from buying all the expensive toys in the world.

"Good, he better be visiting more often then" I said grinning at the photos that Lillian were showing me. Glancing up where Callum stood awkwardly. Excusing me from my aunt and untangling my self from Cassandra's grip. I walked over Talia giggling as she replaced her sister at my leg, grinning innocently at me.

"Afternoon Callum" I greeted my fingers lighting tickling Talia's neck making her squeal. "Hey man" hey greeted, stuffing his hands in his pockets.  "Rumour has it you're coming back to school" Callum said, I guessed my sister has mentioned it to her friends, who don't get me wrong are nice but can't keep their mouths closed. It's like there was a string connecting their mouths and legs, when there legs opened their mouths closed, and visa-versa.

"I can't start online till the start of the next term" I explained, almost tripping forward as Cassandra's body clung to my other leg, both girls giggling. "Little monkeys may I please have my legs back?" I asked glancing down at the identical looking girls. They shook their heads, grips tightening. "Well I guess I just have to call the boogie man" I muttered shrugging, hearing them shriek and let go.

"The gym equipment needs a wipe down, just with a cloth. spray and a wipe over, there are a few lights that need changing, which we can do now" I stated motioning for him to follow me as I walked to the office.

I glanced back at Callum who was limping slightly as he walked, his arms wrapped around his torso, discomfort showing on his face as he walked. Once we got into the office I turned to him with a raised eyebrow, "What happened?"  I asked leaning on the desk, my arms crossed over my chest.
