Percy

I had been avoiding Kale.

The day I woke up, he was sleeping on a chair next to my bed. His hand encased mine, and whilst I liked the warmth and peace it brought me, I couldn’t trust him. So, I had gently removed his hand and left him there to sleep.

“May I take your order?” I smiled to the customer. I had been working overtime to avoid Kale and to work off the time I had built up on my absence.

“What would you like sweetie?” The woman smiled gently down at what I could only assumed was her son. He looked up at me with big blue eyes and a toothy grin. “You pretty.” He murmured.

“T-thanks.” I blushed.

“You hurt?” He frowned, his innocence eyes zeroed in on my bruised face.

“Not anymore.”

“Mama kisses my boo-boos.” I grinned at him and he grinned back. His mother was smiling gently at us. “Sorry.” I muttered. “No, no. It’s perfectly fine. You’ll make a good father one day. Ahem… He’ll have the Happy Meal and I’ll have the Big Mac.”

“So, how you been?” Izzy asked. I shrugged, “fine. Can’t complain.” Alex gave me a bug hug, minding my broken arm. I awkwardly returned it, and Izzy joined in until we were all smiling and laughing. “Ahem.” Gabriel cleared his throat and we all jumped apart. Alex looked at his hands and started fiddling with them. His cheeks reddened and Gabriel noticed his change in his behaviour and smirked.

“What’s up?” Izzy asked. He stopped staring at Alex for once and turned to Izzy. “Have you guys seen Kale? He’s not home and his mum said that he went out all angry like about four hours ago and hasn’t come back.”

“Why was he angry?” I asked. Gabriel became rigged and looked away.

“I don’t think I should be the one to say. Once I find Kale and you go home, you’ll find out.” I frowned but didn’t push it.

“We’ll help. Find him, I mean.” Izzy said, grabbed her hoodie and pulled on her converse.

“Kale! Kale!” Izzy shrieked, her brown hair blowing about. “I don’t think he’s gonna answer you.” Alex said, his light hair hidden beneath his blue hood. He wrapped his arms around himself and shivered, before looking up into the darkening sky. “Hey.” I said, he looked at me. “We’ll get home soon, okay?” Alex smiled a small smile and nodded.

“Huh?” Gabriel asked. “I’m scared of the dark.” Alex said quickly. I shook my head, hoping Gabriel would fall for the lie. Gabriel didn’t look convinced but didn’t question it any further.

“Kale!” Izzy shouted, pointing to a figure leaning against the opening of a alley way. The figure turned and looked at us and sure enough, it was Kale. I ran up to him and jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. He quickly caught me and buried his face in my hair. “Don’t do something like that ever again!”

“I’m sorry.” He whispered and pulled me closer. “Dude, you had us so worried!” Gabriel exclaimed.

“I know, sorry guys. Lets go, I’m freezing my dick off here!” Kale exclaimed. I jumped down and began to walk, but he pulled me back and put his arm around my shoulders. I smiled and snuggled into his side.

“Ma, we’re home!” Kale called. Mrs. Addams came running in, and immediately whacked Kale around the head. “Ow!” He shouted, using his free hand to rub the sore spot. His other was still wrapped round my waist.

“Hey Percy.” She smiled in a motherly way. I waved back, confusion setting in as her smile melted into a frown. “You might want to sit down. I have some news.”

We all sat in Kale’s living room, Kale stretched out with his head in my lap. I played with his soft hair shyly, Izzy sat on the floor and Gabriel had somehow managed to get Alex on his lap and actually relax against his chest.

“Percy.” Mrs Addams said, then she let out a deep breath. “Percy, they found your mother.”

“W-what?!” I gasped. “Were is she? When can I see her?” I exclaimed.

“Percy.” Kale said quietly, sitting up and looking me in the eyes. “They found her body. In your dad’s back garden.” I stared at him, no he couldn’t mean it. Mummy wasn’t dead.

Tears leaked out my eyes and I launched myself at Kale, burying my face in his chest. “Percy, there’s more.” Gabriel whispered.

“Percy you should be happy.” Izzy said.

“Happy?! That mummy’s dead?!”

“No, no. She came to see you. She tried to take you, take you away from your dad.” Izzy said. I wiped my eyes, “really?”

“Yeah.” Kale smiled. “She came round to your house when you were at school and tried to take you away. That’s when your father killed her. But, Percy, You have brothers!”

“What?” I exclaimed.

“She had been meeting secretly with your dad and she got pregnant three times. You have four, six, seven and nineteen year old brothers. Their coming tomorrow.” I couldn’t believe it.

I have brothers?

Before you kill me, I have many excuses to why I haven't updated. But, instead of boring you lot, I'll just say I am very, very sorry *puppy dog eyes*.

Just to clear any confusion, Percy loves Kale still, but after everything that happened, he can't trust him. He hugged him because he was scared something happended to him.

Poor Percy's mum :(
