Never Let Go// Prinxiety

Chapter 9: Explination

Tw: Slight mention of homophobic parent, mention of death. (First death of the book!! The first of too many...)

Kaylas POV:

      I didn't want to look back. At that moment all I wanted was to was run until my legs fell off. I didn't know where to go so I just hid in the janitors closet and cried. I slid down he wall. I didn't know what to do. Then, there was the most frightening noise I had ever heard.

Knock.

Knock.

Earlier:

       I sat down for lunch as usual. I had given Melony a fruit roll up and a water bottle, and began talking with Darla. I don't tend to think about my home life at school, only the next class and getting to see my friends afterward.

       Darla was talking about an old friend of Virgil's. She said he had moved away years ago and she was exited for us all to meet him.

       "He seems really smart and uptight, so maybe you two will get along!" She giggled. "Sounds like a possibility..." I gave her a small smile of approval, when suddenly she screamed "LOGAN!"

       My blood went cold. Uptight, seemingly smart, and he left years ago. Logan. It couldn't be him. There's no way. I haven't heard from the rest of my family for years, why would my brother be back? There's no reason. I turned around to see him. It really was him. Everyone was so exited but I couldn't even speak. I know he saw he. I don't know why he didn't say anything. I don't know if I should be offended or relieved. I couldn't talk. I couldn't move. I was holding back tears. I couldn't keep them in anymore, so I stood up and ran out as fast as I possibly could.

       I didn't want to look back. At that moment all I wanted was to was run until my legs fell off. I didn't know where to go so I just hid in the janitors closet and cried. I slid down the wall. I didn't know what to do. Then, there was the most frightening noise I had ever heard.

Knock.

Knock.

       I couldn't talk. Suddenly I heard the door creek open. My heart dropped. The blood was draining out of me, quickly.

And then he spoke.

"Kayla I-" 

"No!"

       I stopped him. "Don't even begin! You left. You left, leaving me with questions and regret! With a homophobic mother who remarried someone equally as bad as she is. You left me without my best friend. You left me to believe that I was nothing but yours and my fathers mistake! So don't even TRY to explain yourself. Because I don't want to hear I-"

"Fathers dead."

"Wh- what?"

"That's why I came back."

"I-"
    
       "Kayla, I apologize that you have to find out this way.  I know you're already mad at me as it is. But you have to listen to me! You are the only person left I can go to. I've been staying in a hotel because I'm too frightened to go back home. I don't know what I'm going to do..."

"..."

"H-how did he d-die...?"

"They say it was a drive by."

"I'm-"

       Once again, I was at a loss for words. I feel like I've been thinking that a lot recently. My jaw was wide open like a dead trout. It was like I lost control of my face.

"Im sorry, Kayla. For everything."

"Logan, Wait-"

It was like my mouth was saying the words instead of my brain-

"Come back home, with me."

"Wha-what?"

"It's eventually going to get expensive staying at a hotel for the rest of the school year. But don't think this means I forgive you, even the most minute authority!"

"Thank you, Kayla."

And with that-

He left me.

Alone.

Oi Oi Oi!! Srry the chapter is so short I'm trying guys I promise 😩

If you needed to skip it-

This is the summary-

But there weren't many details so if you want to I recommend reading the full chapter.

Summary:

Kayla ran off into a janitors closet with Logan close behind her. She sat down and Logan came in and attempted to talk. Kayla tried her best to stop him from talking, letting out some of the things she's wanted to tell him from the time he left to New York, but he had some surprising news-

They're father was killed in a drive by.

Logan explained that he was staying in a hotel and then Kayla told him he could stay at her house until he leaves for college, but she makes sure he knows that she doesn't forgive him.

And that's the end!

Hope you guys liked it a new on will be here shortly!

Or maybe in a few weeks...

You can never tell with me 😅
