8 Chapter 8

The Next Day-

 

 

-Violet's POV-

I had to talk to Asheton. There was no way I was going to let him hurt Kyle.

"Asheton, meet me in the park at, ummm..." I looked at my watch to check the time and saw that it was around 9am, "Meet me at 9:30 in the middle of St. Jones Park," I spoke into my phone.

I hung up, hoping he would actually meet me.

 

-Kyle's POV-

I woke up and snuggled up to something really warm. It smelled like lavender and it felt like it was wrapped all around my body.

I opened my eyes and saw Marco sleeping next to me. He had a painful look on his face, and was hugging me like if he let go, I would float away. he must have been having a bad dream.

"Shhh...it's okay. I'm right here, Marco," I whispered, trying to comfort him. Marco's body became less tense, and that painful look turned into one of sorrow.

He pulled me closer to him, and that's when I noticed. He was crying! I snuggled as close as I could get to him.

Marco must be having a really bad dream.

 

-Marco's POV-

Kyle and I decided we would go and try to make a deal with Asheton. I walked out of the house holding Kyle's hand, and we started heading to the park.

Once we arrived, I saw Asheton waiting in the middle of the park, but all of the sudden I heard gunshot coming from behind me.

I spun around and saw Asheton holding a gun. With a furious look on my face, I stared him down.

"Look down, Marco" a sinister voice laughed.

I looked down and saw Kyle crying in pain. I dropped to my knees and cradled him in my arms. Anger rushed through my blood as I watched Asheton walk away.

Kyle's body stopped squirming, and just laid in my lap. I held him close to me and called out for help.

"Shhh...it's okay, I'm right here, Marco," I looked back down and stared Kyle in the eyes. He looked so weak...he was struggling to even keep his eyes open.

My expression went from one of anger to sorrow.

"Kyle please don't leave me," I cried.

That's when Kyle drew his last breath.

"NOOO!" I screamed.

 

-Kyle's POV-

Marco suddenly jumped up, panting. He frantically looked around and then stared at me. He grabbed me, giving me a huge hug.

"Umm... Marco... are you ok?"

Marco rested his head on my shoulder and loosened his grip.

"I'm fine, sorry for making you worry," Marco softly spoke.

Something obviously happened. Perhaps a bad memory from his childhood?

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.

Marco didn't respond, so I decided to get his mind off of what we just happened.

I moved my hand to rub the back of his head, slowly inching it closer towards his fluffy ears.

As soon as my hand grazed the fur of his ear, he snuggled closer to my neck. "Hmph, staph" Marco groaned.

I didn't realize what Marco had said, so I continued to pet his ears.

"Ky pwease staph!"

This time I heard him loud and clear. OMG did...did Marco just mo...moan?, I thought to myself.

-Violet's POV-

I was standing in the middle of St. Jones Park at 9:20 am when I saw Asheton siting on the wooden bench.There were only two benches in the park, since only the Royals and whoever the Royals invited could sit on them.It was rare to see a Royal at this park, let alone the son of the king. Everyone on the ground behind Asheton stared in awe.

People's faces went from admiration to disbelief when I sat down next to the "oh so great" prince! I could hear people whispering from behind the cherry blossom tree that stood behind the bench.

"What does that filthy cat think she's doing?" serval spoke. Do they not realize that lions are technically just big cats.

Whatever, it's not like I hadn't heard it before.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. You're late," Asheton scolded.

"Actually, you're just really early," I rolled my eyes at him, and I felt his anger rise.

"Anyway…is there any way I could get you to not expose Kyle? I'll do anything, just please don't hurt him," I begged.

"Anything?" Asheton snickered.

"Yes! I'll do anything" I said eagerly.

"Well, I am looking for a new girlfriend," he smirked.

Is that all? No. There must be some twist or something.

"In return, you won't do anything to hurt Kyle or Marco, right?" I got up into his face with begging eyes.

"Exactly," he snickered.

"Ok, deal!" I jumped up.

He quickly pulled me back down and kissed me!! What the hell did he think he was doing!!

I pushed myself away from him, falling off of the bench. Everyone stared at me and gasped.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" I screamed.

I was aggravated. He had no right to kiss me!!

"Well you're my girlfriend, are you not? I'm allowed to kiss my girlfriend whenever I want. Unless you want to go back on out deal that is..." he smirked.

What was I supposed to say? I had to protect Marco. He's already lost so much. Losing Kyle would push him over the edge.

"Sorry... it just surprised me, that's all," I held my head down, not wanting Asheton to see my tears.

"That's what I thought. Now come here, kitty. It's playtime," he grimaced.

Sorry for the inconsistency in updates I recently went back to school and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
