Dinner at the Mcrocals was quiet as Ray dished out his food, not daring to look up at his parents who had their eyes stationed on him. “What's happening?” Shelly suddenly asked not to be able to keep up with the opaqueness. It was getting at her and the sudden silence was not helping. “Why did you untie Reece?” their mother suddenly asked, throwing Shelly off guard. “Reece.. Why shouldn't I have one?” she asked not sure why they were suddenly talking about the son no one liked. “You shouldn't have done that, Shelly. Ray is your brother and you should be by his side. You can't support Reece over Ray” Mrs Mcrocal stated. Shelly drops her cutleries to the table staring back at her parents. For the longest time she had pondered on the reason they hated Reece so much but hearing them now it was clear. “Why can't I help Reece? If Ray is my brother, isn't Reece my brother too?” she asked, but Ray hissed loudly, dropping his cutlery hastily and staring at his baby sister. “You should le
It's been a week since Aryan Turker was suspended but it was now time to bring him back. History was not a subject anyone could teach, the students were behind and it was soon time for the winter break. Aryan walked into the campus and without a doubt, every eye was on him. It was not uncommon so he quietly made his way to the teacher's area. “Hello,” he greets before taking his seat. Everyone was suddenly quiet but that was not his concern. “Hey.. rough morning huh?” mis Lavender says taking a seat close to him. “Not really. Just got here” he replies. It wasn't a bad morning for him but he could tell it was for her. “Did you do it?” she suddenly asked Aryan to raise an eyebrow at her. “Did what?” he asked. “Oh don't play me for an Aryan fool. Everyone is talking about it. It is all the teachers and students talk about so tell me the truth, did you have sex with Delora?" First Aryan did not have a record of when they had gone to first name basis but chose to ignore that he stared a
The car window was pounded so hard. Reece jolted from the car seat staring out the window. From outside he watched Aryan call out to him. Reece sat upright unable to comprehend what was happening. Within a blink, Aryan was dying in his arms and now here he was standing out the window pounding on the window. Reece; 's hands quickly went to the door as he opened it for Aryan. “Were you sleeping?” Aryan asked and Reece could only stare as his lips moved. “You died,” he whispers. Aryan chuckles, staring at the boy before him. “Who died?” he asked but Reece's lips quivered and tears sprang from his eyes. Aryan could see the pain and the hurt from within them. “You died..in my arms and I couldn't do anything about it. She killed you” he sobs some more as Aryan takes him into his arms. “It was only a dream. I am not dead, I am here with you” he assures but Reece just clutched on hard to his shirt not willing to let go. “It's okay. I am not going anywhere” Reece let Aryan go as he walke
Reece walked through the hallway but unlike usual days it was too quiet for his liking. Everyone was on their business unlike talking and whispering about the recent happenings of Aryan. Reece quickly walked to his class and like always he walked over to the back not taking a glance. “Where is the teacher? I thought they weren't around to lay us off so easily?” a student asked and Reece couldn't help but wonder the same. Aryan had no other plans before class. “I heard he was summoned to the office. We all know Delora isn't lying about him being the father of her baby so it is time he steps up and man up to everything.” Reece could only listen and do nothing. Time went by and soon Aryan made his way in. he was quick to finish with the lesson of the day and as the bell went off he was out the door before the first students. Aryan Turker walks into the proprietor's office and there is Delora seated every so comfortably. “Have a seat son” Mr Catwell says out so ever pleasingly. Aryan
Reece clutched on his trousers not willing to depart with the only few clothes left on him. This ought to be a cool night outing and here he was struggling to keep another off him. The stranger leaned forward for a kiss but Reece turned away making his cold lips land on his soft rosy cheeks. The mysterious stranger could not tell if the boy was blushing from the alcohol effect or the drugs in his system, but either, he was happy to see those soft cheeks stare at him fright visible in his pleading eyes. He smirked, slapping the boy right across the face, the pain sent Reece into a frenzy mood, his legs giving way letting him fall to the cold floor hard and painful. He wanted to say stop, he wanted nothing but to scream that one word in his face as many times as he could but his words wouldn't come out and his mind was nothing less than a jaguar puzzle. His vision spins as the stranger drags him from his hair forcing him back on his feet. Reece felt a heart-wrenching pain strike acr
Reece carelessly moved on the bed, his eyes open to the unfamiliar environment. He could not help but try to register the happenings of the previous day when bit by bit the memories came flooding his vision. His whole body instantly went into another wave of pain, he glanced over his hands and every bit of his pale white skin carried marks he wanted to hide so badly. Turning his head trying to recall more of the unfamiliar environment, he notices the back of the tall figure by the balcony casually sipping through a cup of coffee. Reece did not want to see him, his memory of the night before was blurry and difficult to make out details. The pain was real but aside from the pain, there was nothing else he wanted to recall of that terrible night. He did not wish to see the perpetrators of his pain hence choosing to leave without his knowledge was the best outcome for both of them. He was certain to never visit the club again and that should be the end of them. But executing had more
Everything passed like a blur Reece held onto his chest trying hard to ease the congestion he was feeling from within, he tried feeling his hands but they did not move, the ground beneath his feet began shifting at a rapid rate, and he breaths heavily second trying to gather himself and his thoughts but like a submarine, he was not in control, he is moved to whatever direction the walls closing in on him and everything turned pitch black. The students shouted but Aryan was quick to catch the fragile boy before his beautiful self hit the ground. He tucked his hand beneath his legs and carried him bridal style. “Class of today is adjourned and notes shall be passed so you study” The students all cheered but some had worried looks on their faces. Reece Mcrocal was not a very common name if it did not come to top students. He aced all his classes and had received the valent Victorian almost every other year. He was a complete teacher's pet and an introvert. His classmates walked out c
Reece did not know how long he had been out but staring at the white walls surrounding him was enough to know where he was. “Hey, I see you're up” a nurse walks in, pushing a cart filled with tablets and injections. Reece shifts uncomfortably on the bed, he has always been scared of injections, he tries sitting up but is abruptly forced back to the bed. His heart spiked up rapidly seeing the deadly cold gaze of the man above him. Reece did not know when he walked in, or if he had been in the room to begin with. He had not taken the leisure to glance around. “It's done,” the nurse soon announced, placing the empty injection back on the cart. “These are some drugs you are to take and directions are written on the back” Before the nurse could hand out the plastic full of tablets to Reece, the hands above him had grabbed them. Reece gulf down a huge lump not knowing what else to do. This was not the scene he had been hoping to wake up to. “We leave in a few minutes ' Aryan Turker an

Reece wasn’t interested in talking with Aryan, but he couldn't hold back as they took the wrong turn. “Where are we headed?” he asked, staring out at the familiar street to his house. “To pick up your remaining items” Aryan announced, keeping his eyes on the road. “Why? I don't want to go back. I think I have everything I need at your place” he argues but Aryan was not taking it. He kept calm and glued his eyes on the road. The car soon pulled up in front of the Mcrocal residence. Reece braced himself before stepping out of the car as he made his way up to the front door. “We can go shopping, just pick your books,” Aryan recalled from the car. Reece smiles before knocking on the hard door. He waited patiently hearing the voice of his mother answer from within the wooden door. Watching the door open and the face of his mother come into view, Reece forced out a smile. “Mom” he greeted but only got an angry hum. “What do you want here? Aren't you satisfied with what you did to my son
Reece did not know when the books he had in hand found their way to the floor but the two before him sure heard and turned. Frida tried saying something but he could not hear anything as he made his way to class. Ever since the night with Aryan Turker, he has been death-worried trying hard on how to tell his friends but getting to know they had been hiding even more from him broke him more. “Was I just joking with them?” he pounded but no reply came through. He watched them make their way into class and he swiftly walked to the back seat. He was not ready to face them, not when so much had been kept away from him. English was no fun, Reecce couldn't keep his mind concentrated, so much was happening and he could only think of his two best friends' betrayal. They have always done things together but to think Clarkson and Frida kept something so important from him... He felt so irrelevant in their eyes. Class was soon over and he hastily carried his back out when Frida and Clarkson f
Reece waited up all night but there was no sign of Aryan. Reluctantly he slept off. The morning sun found its way through the curtains spraying over Reece’s eyes. He yawns, waking up feeling even more tired than he had gone to bed. He quickly stood to his feet, finding his way to the kitchen. Everywhere was quite so much not to his liking. He walked over the building searching for Aryan but nothing of his existence could be found. Reece reluctantly heads back to the bedroom room and gets ready for school. Arriving at school, he searched all over for his friends who sat in art class passing the time away. “Hey Reece” Frida chrimed engulfing him in a hug. Reece returns the gestures and smiles at Clarkson who dives back into his art drawing of a beautiful lady which appears to be more of a hollowed creature. “What's happening? Everyone seems to be on their toes” Reece asked, staring around the room as students sat in groups and wouldn't stop chipping amongst themself. He could tell te
Time ticked slowly, Aryan sat in his car watching the couple fight above him. “I thought you said you had him under control” the other yells anger written all over him. “I did... But Shelly got him out” Ray Replied slowly. Ray hated arguments the most, especially with Mark. Ray took steady steps below trying to avoid the man before him. “Do you know how long I have waited for this day and you just let him go?” he yelled walking closer. Ray’s back hits the hard wall. “Mark please,” he says his voice barely a whisper. “I will get him for you” he pleaded but Mark was not having it. “How will you get him? Do you think Reece is so dumb as to come back here?” Ray could only fumble with his shirt.“Do you not love me at all?” Ray asked, staring at the man before him. “It's been years Mark, so much has happened… Do you not love me even a little?” painful tears sparkle within his eyes. “Don't tell me you have not gotten this over your head” Mark spat bitterly. “I should get going” he was
Reece cried and screamed but time seemed to slow as he watched Shelly sneak into his room quickly untying the robes. “Never come back” her words rang in his head as she pushed him out the window. Falling from the second floor Reece winced but had no time to examine his wounds. He had to leave and time was fast running out of his favor. “Where is he?” he heard Mark scream but he took off not willing to hear more of the couple's fight. He ran as fast as his legs could take him, mainly avoiding the highway. Time ticked away but he was lucky to catch the last bus. Reece sat down too exhausted letting his mind wander. All his life he had known nothing but pain and rejection from those he called family, everyone had turned their backs on him but now he was beginning to think there was so much more than he knew. “Hey boy” a voice called and Reece jolted from his thoughts staring back at the driver. “You get down here don't you?” the driver asked and Reece just nodded not taking into cons
