"Haley did this to you?"

Yes I lied. I had to. If I said it was Henry, God knows what he would have done.

I'll never forgive Henry for this, but I do have a soul.

I know Kye knows this happened when I was at Aunty Rachel. He knows it is one of the three.

"Haley?"

He questions again in clear disbelief.

"Yes! That is what I said!"

I snap irritated at him for not buying it.

He grips my jaw making me hiss in pain.

"You expect me to believe a five foot 25 year old did this to you out of all people?"

He states gripping my jaw so spitefully tight that I impulsively slap his face causing him to let go and cup his cheek.

My jaw drops.

"I'm sorry."

I respond feeling ashamed of myself but his expression does not change at all.

"Exactly my point. No way Haley could withstand a slap from you and cause that damage to your face. Now are you going to fucking tell me the truth or am I going to have to go find out on my own."

Oh noo.

I know he already hates Henry and will probably kill him or put him in jail.

"Please Kye."

I grab his hand in blatant pain practically begging.

"Tell me who the fuck did this to you!"

He shouts and I shake my head.

He backs away from me, and I walk towards him trying to ignore the pain of my body's protest.

"That's the last time I ask you."

He states and walks towards the stairwell.

I follow him with a slow pace until he gets to a room that looks like an office.

"You know I felt fucking bad for forcing you and the kids to live with me in Texas. I actually bought this house here in Jersey and sold the one in New York so you guys can be closer on weekends, but look at the condition you are in!"

I have never seen him so angry.

I cautiously walk up to him when I see him starting to shake with anger.

I raise my hand to rest on his sounder but stop myself once I see him fisting his hand. Out of nowhere he punches a hole into the wall.

"I hope what I am thinking is not true!"

He shouts at me.

I can't stop the tears that start to silently spring from my eyes.

"The only person from that house that is capable of doing that to you... IF THAT FUCKER - OH I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT FUCKER!!"

It is suddenly quiet except for my sobs in the room.

Truth is I have never felt so betrayed in my life. My brother - my protector has betrayed me in the worst way possible. He's raised his hand on me repeatedly. He has abused me verbally and physically. To make it worse, he knows about my past watching my mother being abused by her husband and being abused by her. I should go kill him! Fuck him! How fucking dare he! Plus, I have the nerve to be defending his ass right now from Kye who would give him what he rightfully deserves! What the fuck is wrong with me?

I wipe my tears and stand up stopping myself from crying like a little bitch. I'm not a little bitch and I need to man the fuck up. Crying solves nothing. It just makes past emotions resurface.

I quickly walk out the room leaving Kye in confusion and shock.

I go to the kitchen and grab a tray of ice. I place the ice cubes in a plastic and grab a frozen bag of peas.

I walk back to the room I was laying in and place the ice on my knuckles. My stomach is really sore. When I lift my shirt, I notice that there are bruises that have formed on my stomach.

The ice pack that I have original gotten for my face is now used for my stomach.

............

"In the mean time all she needs is ice for the swelling and Tylenol for the soreness."

The doctor that Kye brought over states.

"Nothing is broken?"

Kye asks and the doctor shakes her head.

"Nothing is even sprained. Just bruised."

The doctor responds.

"You've gained 6 pounds from your last visit to the OBGYN three weeks ago."

I nod my head and Kye snaps his head towards me.

"I'm guessing it is due to the water weight from the birth control that was administered to you."

The doc continues, and Kye visibly tenses.

"That's a lot of water weight to put on in three weeks. Make sure you drink lots of water and eat heathy."

I nod my head.

"Well if that is all doctor, I'll see you out."

Kye says in a guarded tone.

He and the doctor exit my room, and I lay down my sore body in these plush sheets.

In less than two minutes my door is slammed open.

"Where the fuck is your birth contraception?"

He asks through gritted teeth.

"That can't be a serious question."

I respond rolling my eyes at his ridiculous behavior.

"Who went with you to get the birth control? It better not fucking be my cousin Trenton!"

He walks over to my bed searching around my room.

"I went with your mom."

I respond and Kye looks angrier.

"I can't fucking believe my mother would do this to me."

He mumbles to himself pacing back and forth.

"Why did you get contraception?"

He asks angrily while raking his hands through his hair.

"So I can keep fucking you. The fuck?"

I respond rolling my eyes and Kye walks through my draw further searching for birth control I'm guessing.

"I don't want you on the pill. Give them to me."

He states and I roll my eyes.

"Okay, but know that means no more sèx."

I respond sarcastically making him angrier.

He opens his mouth and I raise my hand shutting him up.

"Look either we fuck or not. Bottom line is I will protect myself. I control what I do to my body-"

"My body. You are mine Laila. That body is mine. Before you make any decisions, you consult me about it. I will fuck up anyone who touches it -remember that, and don't think Henry is not taken care of all ready. That fucker will pay."

His words knock the soul out of me.

He walks towards the door and stops.

"So why ask for me to use condoms when you already were on the pill?"

He states giving me his back.

I don't respond.

"You thought I had some STD or was fucking other bitches?"

He states angrily turning back towards me.

I shake my head.

"Then what the fuck could your reasoning be?"

He asks clearly accusing me.

"I wanted to increase the impossibility of us getting pregnant."

I respond a little embarrassed.

In return Kye just shakes his head at me and bursts out laughing.

Is this man bipolar?

-----------

I wake up to Kye wrapped around me like a leech.

It's creepy how comfortable I am. He's so handsome and tall, but like a big baby. I smile looking at his long eyelashes. Why are male's eyelashes so long when they don't need them.

I move out of his embrace to go use the bathroom.

Five minutes later I exit my bedroom bathroom and see that Kye is still in my bed. It's funny to see a 6'5" 200 pound man snuggling my pink pillow.

I walk towards my phone and head towards my kids bedroom. They are sleeping soundly together in the bed.

It's amazing how Kye has managed to steal me from them. I always used to sleep between them now every night I do, Kye kidnaps me in the night so that I sleep with him. I feel guilty sometimes.

I turn on my phone and see that I have a great deal of miss calls from Haley and Aunty Rachel.

"Oh no."

What did Kye do?
