Nobody's Girl

Chapter 7

LUKES POINT OF VIEW
It has been 3 weeks walking home with Aurora, and I think I am in love with her. I am not one for emotions usually. I believe they are just something that holds you back. She is something else though. I love her eyes, they're filled with emotion, all of them, I would love to stare at them forever. Her hair is dark brown and smells like roses and a forest after a storm. I love her drawings she's really good, she says she lets the pencil take control. I love her personality, bright, free, loving, caring, hopeful, kind. I love the fact that she thinks she can do anything, and she can. She looks like an innocent small girl but in reality she is so brave and strong. What she lacks for in height, she makes up in personality. I love the way she walks. God I love everything about her. The best part is...she feels the same way.

We hold hands and kiss. When I am down about my dad she always comforts me. When I'm with her everything seems to melt away. We haven't told her brothers yet. Somehow, I think they are going to be ok with it. Some might say it's only because she's the only girl I've seen in years but I know it's more than that. She knows it's more than that.

We are walking home today and it's 2:15,
"Lukey," she says
It makes me warm and fuzzy inside when she says that.
"Yes?" I respond.
"We should tell my brothers about us," she says timidly.
I have been waiting for this.
"Whatever and whenever you want to do is ok with me, as long as it makes you happy." I assure her.
She smiles, when she does it's like the whole world melts away and it's just us. We get to her apartment. When we enter I push her against the wall, she arches her back letting me put my hands just below her ass. I kiss her plump lips asking for entry with my tongue, her mouth grants my wish. She throws her arms around my neck with one hand in my hair messing it up. She pulls back and giggles. I smirk at her and we go to sit on the couch.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Ryder yells
Shit.

I am sitting on the couch with her three brothers in front of me. They are all looking at me with the death stare, like, if looks could kill I would be 6 feet under right now. Aurora sits on the armchair looking at her hands.
"Aurora go to your room." Adam commands
"But-" she begins
"No." Tom interrupts.
She gets up passing me a small smile, and enters the bedroom and closes the door.
"What the fuck Luke?!" Ryder says.
"Ya man, we trusted you with our sister and now you're fucking her without telling us." Tom says.
I flinch at the words fucking her,
"We haven had sex yet, and we planned to tell you guys about it today, when you got home." I say
"Bullshit." Adam says.
"No I'm not lying." I argue.
"How do we know that." Tom replies.
"I swear on my manhood," I state.
Their eyes widen. That's a a big swear and we all know it. When women and girls started to die a form of punishment made its way into the court. If you commit a felony then they...you know... chop it off. Anyways so yeah, it's a big deal.
"Damn ok bro chill," Adam says.
"Look it's not like we don't like you or anything it's just we wish you would've told us." Ryder contributes.
"Yeah I know, but honestly, we were going to tell you today."  I tell them.
"Ok, there are a few things you should know first." Tom begins.
"Yes?" I know where this is going.
"Rule #1 hurt her or do anything to her she doesn't want in anyway and you're dead, it doesn't matter if you're leading us or not." Ryder says simply.
Okkkkkkkk promise I will never do that.
"Ok," I say out loud.
"Rule #2 keep her safe, I, we, do not want her in the rebellion in anyway," Tom says next.
I nod, this ones a given.
"Rule #3...HAVE FUNNNNN." Adam shouts.
We all burst out laughing.
"A you can come in here now." Ryder speaks loudly.
She opens the door and runs to her brothers enveloping them in a hug.
"Thank you Thank you Thank you." She says
"We haven't even told you anything." Say Tom confused.
"I know buttttttttt i might have been eavesdropping." She says giggling.
God I love her.
"One more thing." I say.
They all turn to me and I put my arm around her waist.
"We are in love." I state.
"Yes, yes we are." Aurora confirms.
Her brothers punch me, a little too hard, and pick up Aurora enveloping her in a hug.
"I'm so happy for you guys." Adam says a little teary.
We all burst out laughing.

It's the next week and me and A are walking home together. We can't be together publicly because then it will look like a boy-boy relationship, and when you're gay you go to a different country. This means that if you realize you are gay you go to "Gay America," this is the western side of America. You get adopted by a couple and they become your family. They did this stupid thing because of homophobes and shit. I disagree with it and believe we could all coexist peacefully if people just got over themselves.

Anyways, we got to her apartment and we sit down to do homework. Her brothers get off early today at 5:30 so we have a couple of hours. It has been 30 minutes and suddenly her brothers come barreling in. Lucky for us though we weren't doing anything. She starlets and looks at them confused.
"A" Adam says and pauses breathing heavily.
"Go-exhale-code-exhale-blue-exhale" Ryder says.
We look at each other and our first eyes widen, we shoot up. She pulls the rug back while her brothers are trying not to pass out. They are pretty athletic guys so they must have been running pretty hard. I help Aurora pull back the carpet that looks as if it is part of the floor. A trapdoor is reveled and I pull it open for her. Then she slides all the bottles of alcohol to one side and pulls up a few floorboards where she settles in the crevice only big enough for her. I put the floorboards back after giving her a quick peck, put the bottles of alcohol back and then close the trapdoor and replace the carpet. Make sure there aren't any creases. Then a knock a knock at the door before it's bashed in. Fuck.

Prince Malum comes in followed by 4 body guards, although he doesn't really need it. He decked out in a suit with maybe 4 guns. 2 in holsters on his belt one hidden under his jacket and the last in his hand. Ryder stands a good couple inches above him but the Prince doesn't seem too concerned. He signals his body guards to ransack the apartment.
"Do you know why I'm here?" He questions.
His voice sounds close to a growl and he's sneering too. He gives me devil vibes.
"No," Adam says innocently.
Prince Malum very near snarls.
"I am here, because there is a woman in this filthy apartment, and I've come to save her." He tries to trick us.
Luckily he doesn't recognize me as the leader of the rebellion. We would all be dead if he did.
"There is no woman here," Ryder states.
"Bullshit," he sneers.
"We did have a mom once, like you and Adam here had a twin sister but they both died with the disease," Tom contributes.
"Ok then we're is your dad," he questions further.
"He is a raging alcoholic how abused us, so we kicked him out. Now we live here on our own and work close by." Adam truthfully says.
"Then if you three are brothers, who are you." He looks at me.
"I am just a friend who goes to their high school." I state.
"Then leave idiot. You are not a part of this." He sneers.
I open my mouth to argue but Ryder gives me a look.
So I turn and leave.

I am walking down the stairs when I pull out my phone and text my generals.
He's on 69th avenue apartment 420 the yellow building.
I send the text and start walking towards base. I have been waiting to kill this son of a bitch for 3 years. I'll be damned if he gets his hands on my A.
