Boarding Schools, Secrets, and Jerks

My Family

%Kyle’s POV%

I heard Kelsey’s breaths get lighter and knew she was asleep.

“Did anything happen to her?” I asked looking up at Benjamin

“What do you mean? She’s fine.” He said confused

“Did she get hurt in any way?” I asked

He hesitated, “…NOPE!” He yelled with wide eyes

“You’re a horrible liar.” I stated without emotion

He coughed and I saw his hands tighten around Aliyah. “N-no, she didn’t get h-hurt.”

“Just tell me.” I said exasperated

“Lemma see.” He frowned in concentration, “Um, there was Lashawna, Alfred, Miko, a demon bit her, um…then that werewolf pulling her hair but I don’t think that hurt her.” He finished

I was livid and asked in a deathly calm voice, “Miko?”

He froze, “Did I say Miko? I meant…Spongebob?” He offered with a wince

“A demon bit her?” I asked in the same tone

“Did I say demon bit her? Psh! I was….lying.” He said lamely

“What happened with Lashawna?” I ignored him

“Oh, yeah. Turns out Lashawna was working with Miko. She helped kidnap you.” He stated playing with Aliyah’s fingers

“Alfred?” I asked in a tight voice

“Him too.” Benjamin said not looking up

“He hurt her?” I asked looking down at Kelsey

I brushed her hair out of her beautiful face.

“No. She the Uniter, Kyle. She doesn’t really get hurt. The only thing that hurt her was the demon bite, but she healed herself.” He shrugged

I looked over her and froze when I saw the faint bite on her left arm. Gingerly, I picked it up and brought it close to my face to look at it.

I set her arm down and could help the loud growl that rumbled in my chest. Everybody looked back and my dad frowned at me looking in the mirror to see me.

“What’s wrong?!” I heard a panicked voice ask, “Kyle?! You okay?!”

I looked down at Kelsey and smiled tightly, “Fine.”

She arched a brow and turned to Benjamin, “What happened?”

He looked at me and I frantically shook my head. He smirked at looked back at Kelsey.

“Oh, nothing, just him being  a man.” Benjamin shrugged looking innocent

I frowned. Nice one, Benjamin. Real original.

“Just being a man?” Kelsey repeated in a disbelieving tone

“Yup.” Benjamin smiled

“Liar.” Kelsey stated leaning back against my shoulder, “So, what really happened?” She asked again giving Benjamin ‘The look’

“Huh? What? Oh…huh?” He stammered

Kelsey’s eyes glazed over and then Benjamin jumped staring into space.

“Kelsey?” I asked as Aliyah asked, “Benny?”

I looked between the two. Benjamin still had a frown on his face while Kelsey was smirking.
