I Hated You Now I love You

Chapter 8

He chuckled as you sat down next him.
"I know what you meant," you say and look at him.
"And what's that Y/n?" He asks.
"I have a lot more a head of me... I have Collin...Mili...and now I have friends...," you say.
"I wouldn't let you die at your mother's hands anyway. Besides your stronger then that," he smiles.
"Really?" You ask hopeful.
"Of course," he smiles.
"You know Collin's middle name is yours," you sighed.
"I know kiddo, you think I just sit up here do nothing?" Your dad jokes with you.
"It was going to be his first name, but I wanted him to have his own identity," you continue.
"Where's yours?" He asks.
"What?" You ask.
"Your identity, who are you Y/n?" He asks.
"I...," you thought about it. Did you really know WHO you are?
"I want you to figure that out champ," he says and stands up. He lets out his hand.
You grab it and he helps you up then pulls you into a hug. You hugged back as everything slowly fades.
"I love you Y/n."

Your eyes opened slowly as you woke up. Your head was still pounding. Your whole entire body was sore. Your vision slowly came back to you as it adjusted to the light. You felt someone holding your hand. You looked off to the side to see Kyle. He was asleep and holding your hand tightly. You blushed but then stroked his hair with four other hand.
"Mmm," Kyle hums as he sits up. His eyes widened as he sees you.
"You're awake!" He exclaims happily.
"Yeah," you laughed lightly.
"Hold on I gotta tell Mili," he says and pulls out his phone. He types quickly then diverts his attention back to you. "How do you feel?"
"Pretty shitty," you shrug.
"I'd imagine... you passed out as soon as you and Collin stepped out of your house," Kyle responds.
"Collin! Where is he?" You asked slightly panicked.
"He's fine, he's with Mili, they went to get food," Kyle responds.
"Oh thank god," you mumble.
"So... what happened?" Kyle asks.
"Well it's kind of fuzzy but I remember walking into our house. Something felt off instantly. I looked and saw an older mans shoes... my dad...he's no longer with us... so I knew something was off," you start," I remember telling Collin to go... he left then our mom came... after that I can't really remember what happened. I mean I remember Collin shaking me awake and going to the door, but when he was gone I don't remember any of it."
"Could it have been your mom that did that to you?" he asks. Before you could respond.
"Y/n!" Collin yelled as he ran into the room. He ran over to the bed and hugged your waist.
"Hey little dude," you smile at him.
"I'm so glad your okay!" He exclaims.
"What you think I'd leave you that easily?" You ask him.
"What? No your my big strong, big brother!" He smiles.
"You bet," you sigh.
"How are you feeling?" Mili asks as she takes a seat next to Kyle.
"Not the best," you admit.
"Hey Kyle could you bring Collin to the hall for a minute?" Mili asks glances over at him.
"Yeah of course," Kyle says and leads Collin to the hall.
"Child protective services have already gotten involved. They're doing a full scale investigation. Your mother is in custody and will probably be going to jail," she says.
"Wait will Collin and I be separated? Will we have to leave South Park?" You ask starting to panic.
"No, hey calm down... I already told them I would take you guys in," she says.
"Wait but- we-" you start.
"Y/n, you are way too young to be out on the streets, you were too young to even start taking care of your brother on your own, you both have been through so much and this is the least I could do," Mili cuts you off with a stern expression.
"M-Mili. I- h-how can I ever r-repay you," you stutter. Tears threaten to leave your eyes.
"Be a kid, that's what I want," Mili replies. You start to cry out of relief and everything else you had bottled up. "Come here."
Mili pulled you into a hug and rubbed your back soothingly.
"Thank you," you cried out.
"Y/n! Why are you crying?" Collin popped his head into the room. You smiled lightly as he walked over to you, Kyle following behind slightly.
"Well bud things are going to get better from here on out," you smile.
