Onyx's POV
"How long have we've known each other for now?"
"12 years. It's crazy right?"
"Yeah. It really is."
"I regret nothing."
"Me too."
Buckley has been like my rock since day one. I was scared to trust him at first but he was slow and gentle with me. He took his time and slowly gained my trust.
The first gift he gave me was a flower. I was so upset when it died. I wanted to keep it forever. I cried for hours straight.
I noticed he had gotten taller.
"Baby? How tall are you now?"
"Shit. I don't know. You do look a bit tiny now."
In the girls locker room...I went to my regular spot and put my things down. I took my gym clothes out of my drawstring bag then started changing.
I caught Georgina staring at my body. She didn't say anything. She just stared.
"Please stop staring at me. You're making me uncomfortable."
"Oh? I'm making YOU uncomfortable?"
"Gina....don't start."
"Don't start what?"
"Don't start tearing her down. She's having a good day."
Did Ava just defend me?
"Did anyone else notice that Buck and Brad got a bit taller? Don't boys stop growing at 16?"
"I think so?"
"They've gotta be like 6'0 now right?"
"Maybe...5'11?"
"Definitely not."
"Oh! Did you guys hear that Robert and Cindy broke up?"
"They finally did? Damn. That took forever."
I finished getting dressed then thought of something.
If Robert and Cindy broke up...
Then she'll come after me or Ava.
Most likely...
Me...
I'm the weaker twin.
We walked out of the locker room and saw that the boys were already in their lines. Felix was stretching his legs.
Me and Ava walked up to them and sat down.
"Hey boys."
"Hey you two."
"So apparently...Rob and Cindy broke up."
"Damn."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
"They'll probably get back together in a few days or something."
"Bucky? Is she gonna come after me?"
"Come after you? Why would she go after you?"
"To get to you..."
"I'm not going anywhere so you don't need to worry about that."
"What if...she starts making shit up about me?"
"Then I'll come to you and we'll talk about it. I'm obviously not gonna believe any shit she says about you. She's not with you all the time. I am. I know you. She doesn't. Nothing's gonna happen. She's not takin' me away from you."
