Well the next day I got up early so I didn't have to talk to Chris. I walked to school by myself and actually enjoyed it. Luckily it was a nice day so I walked the track with Ariana. It was a nice quiet day because Kindra wasn't there. All in all my week ended really well. I completely ignores Chris all weekend. Since mom and dad were not home things went well. I just stayed in my room until I had to cook for the family. I was so happy to be going to school.
So my second week at school started out okay but on Wednesday things started going down hill. Kindra was waiting by the door as we got to the school. I saw Ariana and was happy as soon as I got out of the car I went over to her.
"So why are you waiting here for me? Where is Byron? Usually he is always close by you. Oh do we have a new student he is showing around?"
"Well actually Byron is finalizing his class change. He is changing the p.e. and choir classes around. He apparently heard something he wants to stop. I don't know much more than that."
"WOW okay so you are taking your body guard roll very seriously. Thank you for that."
"Hey I don't want anything to happen to my best friend. Besides I wanted to talk to you about your birthday next Friday."
" Okay what about it? We really don't celebrate my birthday. Don't ask my why not because I don't even know why. Sometimes I really wonder why they hate me the way they do. I mean my father likes my brothers better than me, but I'm hoping it's because they are boys. I'm excited to see what the new baby is because I want to see how it's treated. I'm sorry I'm ranting, what did you want to say?"
"Well I was hoping you could stay the night at my house so we could celebrate your birthday in style."
"I would love that. I will talk to my mom this evening about it. Is it okay with your parents? Will they be there? I know these are some of the questions mom will have."
"Yes they are okay with it. Yes they will be there. I already told them not to mention your birthday just ask her if you can spend the night. We do have to study for the Spanish final that will be our cover lol."
"Oh I love it I hope she says yes. I can't wait, but how are your parents going to talk to her?"
"They work at the hospital with her. They have lunch together all the time."
"I love it, I hope this works. Now let's get to class I can't stand seeing them make out any longer."
"Agreed let's go."
Once we are in our seats in class Ariana and I start making plans for next week. We are hoping her parents can talk mom into it, Dad doesn't care anything about me so he shouldn't care. I haven't done anything wrong and as far as I know nobody told them about Chris hitting me. Just as the bell rings Byron walks in. He looks at us and smiles then he sits down. Moments later class starts.
As we run through everything we know in Spanish the teacher tells us we will have a substitute next Friday so she is pushing the test back by a week. We were all so happy and it actually helped our story. Once class ended we headed to our next class. Byron pulled us out of the crowd and pushed us toward an empty room. Once inside he closed and locked the door.
Ariana got worried and asked," What's going on?"
"Listen I got word that Kindra and your brother are going to try something today. Both of you need to be careful. I will be in p.e. with you today. I was okayed to change classes so I will be with both of you everyday. If anything happens I will be ready. Stay close to each other and yell for me if there is an issue. It's sunny so we will be outside for p.e. Just be ready. Now Ariana can you give us a minute please, don't go to far from the door okay."
Ariana shook her head and stepped outside. Then Byron looked at me as he took my hands and says," I'm sorry to say this but I think you should think about leaving your family house. They might be your family but they treat you like shit. You can come home with me I will keep you safe."
"Can I think about it please. There has been a lot going on lately."
"Of course I just want you happy and safe. And I would like to do one other thing."
Then he steps close to me cups my cheek and leans in and kisses me. At first I stay stiff then I just melt into him and let it happen. After a minute he slips him tongue into my mouth. When we break apart he puts his forehead against mine and says," I'm sorry I didn't plan that I just wanted to warn you."
"I'm okay with it. I liked it, but we need to get to class. And maybe we could do it again at another time?"
He smiles and shakes his head then we leave the room. Once we are in the hall he nods at his sister and we head to class. Things go good till we get to p.e. We are on the track while Byron is talking to the teacher all the sudden I am kicked in the back. I go flying when I hit the ground Ariana is trying to shield me. I turn my head and see all three of my brothers as well as Kindra and a couple girls I don't know. Chris steps forward and say," Your a freak and you need to die. I know why dad hates you and I can't say as I blame him. You should die. I can't speak I don't know what he is talking about. The next thing I know Chris is being pulled away from me and my other brothers are already walking away. Byron has Chris by the throat," You had better stay the fuck away from her or I will kill you."
Then he throws him away from me. He bends down and they both help me up. Rather than continue walking we go over by the fence and sit down. He holds me as I start crying, while Ariana stands guard.
"I think I need to go to the clinic it hurts to breathe."
"Maybe we can get some answers while we are there as well."
After a minute Byron helps me up and the three of us head to the clinic.
