"Truth "He said.
"Why don't you tell everyone why you really hate me "She said
"I don't hate you "He said.
"I just have a fear that if I get close to any black girl they'll leave me just like the way my mom did "He said.
"I pick Nick "He said
Roxanne stood up and walked out of them .
"Roxie "Xavion said and went after her.
"Roxie! wait "He said holding her hand she looked back with her eyes teary.
"Why are you crying"he said
"I actually thought I was the only one going through that "she said
"Is that why you're crying "He said
"I guess I misunderstood him "She said.
"Well don't cry because he found his mother already okay"He said
"How do you know "He said
"He told me I didn't want to tell you yet but I found out he's my step brother "She said.
"What the..."She said
"Yeah and don't worry you'll find your mom it's just about time"He said.
"Ok thank you "She said and smiled.
"Why did you say we were dating"He said.
"No reason I just thought of what you told Kai I don't want you guys fighting because of me"She said.
"Good thinking "He said.
"I have a question Xavion and I want you to tell me the truth "She said.
"Ok anything "He said
"I saw some pills in your cabinet are you sick "she said
"... I'm...um ...yes... but it isn't severe the doctor said I have a um..."He said
"What's going on Xavion tell me "She said
"I have a heart disease but it can be cured I just have to undergo surgery"He said.
"Heart disease"Roxanne said
"Yes that's why I'm leaving for the surgery"He said
"Xavion I'm so sorry "She said
"It's not your fault so why are you apologizing"He said
"Since when have you known this"She said
"It's been long that was why I got into the drugs but I found out that it only worsened my condition.and that's what Kai don't understand , that's why I'm still looking for the right time to explain to him why I did that "He said
"Xavion promise me that you'll take care of yourself and fight the disease if not for anyone but for your mom , I'm very sure she wouldn't want you to meet her now"She said
"But if I don't survive the surgery promise me that you'll be a fighter and not let Kai bully you"He said
"I won't but you'll survive it I know that "She said and hugged him.
Kai walked back to his tent and laid on the bed he looked up remembering how he met Xavion . He was at the ferris wheel in the park he was just seven when he met . Since then they were close because they met again in preschool. He didn't even think that they'll end up being Step brothers . He was the closest to him and the coldest but after he went to prison he changed .
Kai was used to jumping into conclusion , he didn't want to know what was going on or what happened.

All the students went into the bus as Xavion wanted to enter the car.
"Xavion "Kai said and he faced back.
"Come ride with us "He said
"I'll love to but I can't let Roxie ride the bus alone "He said.
"Then let her come with us "Zach said. Kai looked back before agreeing with Zach.
"Yeah she can come "Kai said and they went into the van.
Roxanne sat at the back beside Nick she took her phone and wore her headphone and played music as she played a game .
Nick took a pack of cigarettes and took a stick of a cigarette and the lighter.
"Want one "Nick asked her and she shook her head.
"What of you Zach "He said Zach shook his head
"Kai are you interested"He said.
"No "He said.
"Why're you pretending just smoke "Roxanne said and they looked at her .
"Uhn..."She said and she looked at them.
"It's a...a... s...song "She said stuttering .
"What of you Xavion "he said
"No he can't take that "Roxanne and Kai chorused.
"Woah guys chill I was just asking "He said
"Sorry I didn't mean to yell "Roxanne said, Nick light up the cigarette.
"So why did you ask me to ride with you "He asked.
"Nothing I just felt like maybe we should get along..."Kai didn't complete his sentence Xavion cuts in.
"Stop you know already don't you "He asked. Kai nodded .
"Why didn't you tell me earlier "He said.
"Like you care "Xavion said
"You could have said something at least"He said
"And what will you have done "He said.
"I would have spoken to dad to help you "He said
"Your dad really"Xavion said.
"What are you guys talking about "Zach said .
"Probably nonsense "Nick said.
Roxanne looked at Nick angrily and stepped on him.
"What's that about "He said
"Uhn what are you talking about "She said clueless.
"You just stepped on me "He said
"I didn't notice your leg there , aren't your legs amputated"She said and they giggled.
"Oh you're acting tough uhn because Xavion's here right"Nick said.
"I'm not he's leaving soon we'll see how I will handle that wouldn't we "She said
"I warned you to watch the way you talk to me didn't I "He said
Roxanne didn't say anything after that she stared at her phone.
"Nick stop bullying her "Xavion said
"We're talking about his health issue, Xavion is leaving very soon "Kai said
"Actually today "He said
"I was diagnosed with Heart disease that was why I persuaded you guys to do drugs with me I thought I could drown my sadness with hard drugs and my friends by my side I'm so sorry guys"He said.
Nick and Zach looked at each other and looked at Xavion.
"Dude you're so strong, you act like nothing's wrong and you still protect this piece of shit here"Nick said referring to Roxanne as the piece of shit.
"Says the guy who actually smells like one "Roxanne said
"Roxie "Xavion said.
"I really wanted to apologize before I left incase I don't make it "He said
"You will make it Xavion don't say that "Roxanne said
"Yeah she's saying the truth don't give up we're waiting for you "Zach said
"I know , but it will still be nice if I go see mom "He said.
"What are you saying Xavion "Roxanne said
"Can't you think about us about me if not me atleast look at your friends and pity them you still have a lot of things to cover up for "She said and tears dropped from her eyes.
"please tell the driver to stop"She said
"How are you gonna go home we're in the middle of no where"Kai said
"Stop asking me questions like you care"She said .
"Han stop the van "Nick said and the van stopped Roxanne came out of the van and took her suitcase .
"Hey you can't leave her in the middle of no where"Xavion said he wanted to go after her but Nick held him back.
"Leave her she wants to be alone , Han go on"He said.
"Hey she's a lady "Xavion said
"So let her be I'm sick and tired of her being beside me "Nick said.
"Nick "Zach said.
"What do you want to after her "Nick said
"Kai do something "Zach said.
"Han go back and pick her , if you're tired of staying in the same place with her you can get out of the van instead"He said.
The driver drove back , surprisingly Roxanne was not there.
"She isn't there , where the fuck is she"Xavion said getting down from thethe van and Kai followed .
