My Outlaw
I'm glad I have such great friends and a loving husband :)
We had an awesome time with Matthew on the bus. Soon, though, everyone headed off to bed. I was about to fall asleep when someone crawled in next to me. Ashley.
"Hmm?"
"Oh. Sorry. I couldn't sleep." I nodded.
"What's bugging you?" He squirmed a bit.
"It's no big deal." I sighed.
"Just tell me. Is it about my parents? How I look so much like them, and how they seem so loving now?" He hesitated, then nodded. I sighed.
“They are my grandparents.They make me call them mom and dad because of the fact they adopted me after finding me after my adoptive parents beat me. They had been trying to find me forever, but my adoptive parents had changed my name. When they did find me, they drove to the house. They heard the screaming and barged in the door. I was lying on the floor, in a puddle of my blood. The only reason it was so bad was because Mark had joined in.” I took a deep, shuttered breath. He pulled me in close.
“You don’t have to tell me everything.” I shook my head.
“I promised I wouldn’t keep anything a secret anymore. Anyway, I woke up the next morning in the hospital, with my ‘parents’ and Mark in jail and my grandparents as my new parents.” I smiled. “They also found my older brother, Cyle. With a ‘C’. Pronounced like Kyle? Yeah, my parents were weird. They found him before me. I never had even met him, and I was glad to catch up with him. He was ten years older than me, so he was able to remember more about them then me. I actually haven’t talked to him in two years.” I sighed. He hugged me tighter. That’s when a face poked up to my bunk.
“How come I never heard any of this?” Laura. Another face.
“What is she even talking about?” Matthew. I laughed.
“You guys are such eavesdroppers!" They smirked.
"We know." Matthew laughed.
"Laura actually started it. She heard the whispering and woke me up, shes a bitch." Laura stuck out her tongue at Matthew. "Anyway, Amarie, what did you mean by the beating?" I took a deep breath and filled him in on what happened. Matthew then squished himself into my bunk. "Tell your husband to move his sexy ass."
"Hey now, no hitting on my hubbie!" Ashley laughed.
"As if he could win me over. I got you babe, and that's all that matters." He gave me a deep, passionate kiss, which ended when he yawned. I laughed and started to push him toward the edge of the bunk.
"Go get some sleep." He smiled, then climbed over me and Matthew, earning an ass smack from him.
"Dude!"
"Did it sting?"
"Yeah!"
"My bad. Reflex."
"What the hell kinda reflexes do you have?!"
"The bad kind." He smirked, and Ashley just sighed and left the bunk. Matthew then pulled me into a hug. "I have a similar story." I looked at him, shocked. "I wanna tell you mine. Is that OK?" I nodded.
"Only if you are comfortable."
"With you and Michelle, I am. I don't know why, but I feel as though I can tell you guys anything. Must be the way you guys are such loving people." I nodded, he sighed then began his story.
