Onyx's POV
My blood was boiling. Primrose cupped my face.
"8 years...for 8 years I've been lied to. 8 goddamn years. All the years of abuse could've been prevented. My relationship with my mother could've stayed as it was. My body wouldn't be covered with scars. My daughter would've been born into a stable household. Why now?!"
"Did Zander say anything else?"
"He's got a wife and four fucking kids."
"Shit. Baby.."
"I want to fucking scream."
"Then scream."
I shook my head.
"I'll wake up MJ and I'll scare her. I can't do that to her."
Primrose pulled me close to her chest.
"Scream. It'll be muffled this way."
I wrapped my arms around her and just screamed.
"This isn't fair!"
"Nyxy what else did your brother say?"
"We buried an empty coffin. His death was faked."
"Huh?! That's fucked up!"
We got up and got dressed quickly. Primrose laid down and I put my head on her chest. She started rubbing my back with one hand. She used her other hand to run her fingers through my hair. I shut my eyes and let tears fall.
"I don't know what to do! I-I'm pissed a-and upset!"
"Then tell him. Let him know how much he fucked up. The way I see it is, he abandoned you guys."
"I-I guess you're right a bit."
I didn't go back to sleep. I just stared at Primrose and watched her sleep. When I heard the doorbell ring I didn't get up. I zoned out.
"Daddy?"
I looked in the doorway.
"Mommy said you're sad."
I didn't verbally respond. I just held my arms out. She ran over to me. I picked her up and started hugging her.
Primrose's POV
I opened the door and saw a man that was almost the same height as Onyx.
He looks just like Nyx.
Just with blond hair.
"You must be his girl. Alex mentioned you. I'm Donovan. I'm his dad."
Jesus Christ.
Onyx is gonna scream.
"Uhh. I thought Zander told you that Nyx can't and won't see you."
"I know. But he should really hear me out."
"What makes you think he'll do that?"
"Please."
I rolled my eyes. I brought Donovan to the dining room and we sat down.
"How mad is he?"
"Well..he threw his phone across the room. He cried. Why'd you do it? Did you need money or something?"
He shook his head.
"No. It's nothing like that. I couldn't live there anymore. I was too overwhelmed."
"Woah woah woah. So you faked your own death because you were overwhelmed?! Then you fucking went and had another family?! That's so fucked up! What the hell?!"
"I-I know it sounds bad."
"Well it sounds bad, because it IS bad! You full on abandoned them!"
"S-so it's my fault?"
My eyes widened. I turned around.
"Baby I'm sure he didn't mean it like that."
"B-but I was part of the reason?! It's my fault?! I-I caused you to leave?!"
"I-I didn't mean it like that at all."
"Then why'd you say it?!" Onyx said as his voice cracked.
"Do you even know the shit I've gone through?!"
Onyx started going through everything.
"You haven't taken your meds yet,have you?"
I heard him gulp.
"Of course you didn't. Go take that."
"B-but it's my fault? I-I'm part of the reason our family broke?!"
Out of all things to hear...
Why did he hear that?
Goddamnit!
"Primrose why'd you let him in?"
"I-I'm sorry. I thought I'd be rude if I shammed the door in his face."
"I-I can't even be mad at you for that!"
"Take your meds then come here. Mari go make sure your father takes his meds. Onyx don't do anything stupid. It's not your fault."
Marionette grabbed Onyx's hand and they started walking.
"Is she yours?"
I went to open my mouth but Marionette screamed.
"MOMMY HELP!"
I got up and started running. I found her and Onyx in the bathroom. The sink was filled with blood. I looked closer and saw Onyx had cut himself.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"I-it's all my fault."
"MJ go to your room!"
She took off running. I hopped onto the counter and grabbed Onyx's wrist and started washing it.
"Baby what the hell?"
"I-I broke my family."
"No no. You didn't. You had nothing to do with that. You were the 10 year old in that situation."
I looked and saw Donovan standing in the doorway.
"Get out of my house! Get out!"
He walked away. I went back to taking care of Onyx.
"I told you to not do anything stupid. Why didn't you listen to me?"
He looked down and started crying.
"Honey..should I take you to the hospital?"
He shook his head.
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't ever do this again got it?"
He nodded.
"I'm sorry. Please don't leave me."
"I'm not."
"I need you here with me."
