Ian POV
I am in the bed with Hannah with her phone in my hand. "Who is Gerald?" Hannah sits up quickly with my shirt hanging off her right shoulder.
"Um, he is just a friend. We met in one of my classes." I hand her the phone and look up at the ceiling, "Isn't he on the baseball team?" She nods her head, "I'll ask Mason about him." Her eyes widen, "Why do you need to know anything about him?"
I look at her with an arch eyebrow, "I need to know who is friends with my girlfriend." She lets out a long sigh, "Oh okay."
She puts her hand on my front and whispers in my ear, "Do you want the go another round?" I kiss her on the lips, "Let's just cuddle." I play in her hair, "Have you ever thought of curling your hair." She looks at me with an arch eyebrow, "Why curls? You don't like straight?"
"I do, I just want to see what you look like with curly hair." I don't know why I want her to get curly hair. I start smiling, "Why are you smiling?" I look down at Hannah and kiss her forehead, "Someone just popped up in my head. It's nothing."
I get up and start getting dress, "Where are you going?" I put my pants on, "I'm going to go train. You wanna come?" She gets off the bed and head to the bathroom, "Now?! It's like-. I forgot it was a half day today. Yeah, just let me wash up right quick."
I start looking around for my shirt when Hannah comes out and points in a corner, "There are some shirts in your size in the corner." I walk to the corner and pick up a shirt.
Hannah comes out the bathroom five minutes later. "Are you coming back or going home?" I shrug my shoulders as we walk out of the house, "I don't know yet, I'll decide once we leave the gym."
We get in the car and head to the gym. When we arrive at the gym I see Owen car, "I'm not surprised that he is here, we have the first matches of the new year." We walk in and I see Benny and Owen trainer in the ring with Quiet.
They hear the bell and look my way, "Hey Ian!!" I smile at Quiet and look at the two trainers, "Why is Quiet in the ring with you two?" Benny points at Stanley, "He wanted to see how she fight."
Stanley mouth drops, "But he wanted to teach her a few moves." I roll my eyes and walk up to Owen and give him a handshake, "Did you have fun at your girlfriend house?" He blinks his eyes like a girl and I push him, "I sure did." He starts laughing and looks back at Quiet.
"Did she wanted to come along?" He nods his head and sighs, "Yeah she did, but I didn't know it was going to come up to them being in the ring with her."
Next thing we know we hear a bang, we look quickly and see a happy Quiet and Stanley. "I flipped him, I flipped him, Stanley!!" Stanley starts clapping, "You learn quick."
Cough Cough, "She is a fast learner." Benny says as he tries to catch his breath. Cough Cough, "She knocked the wind out of my lungs." Me and Owen start laughing and Benny glares at Stanley, "Why did she have to try it on me and not you?!"
Stanley holds his hands up, "She said she wanted you because she doesn't know me that well. How are you shock?! We said she was going to do it!" Benny stands up, "Yeah, I didn't think it would be now!"
Benny climbs out the ring cursing under his breath, "Let's go, Ian!! We're training now!!" Quiet comes out of the rings and Owen helps her down, she looks at me. "Is Benny really that mad?" I shake my head and laugh, "No, he's just embarrassed."
Owen climbs in the ring and I head to the ring beside it. I get in and see an angry Benny tapping his foot, "What took you so long?!" I laugh as I start stretching, "Don't get mad at me, I'm not the one who flipped you." He glares at me and I laugh, "I swear younger people get on my nerves!!"
After Training
I walk over to Owen ring and see him and Quiet just sitting there. Owen looks at me with a pout, "Hazel is going to be gone for a few days. She's going over to her dad house for Christmas." Quiet jumps on top of Owen, "It's not even that long, I leave today and come back the day after Christmas. It's only three days."
She looks at me and smile, "That's not long to you, is it?" I put my hand over my heart, "Being away from you for so long is going to lead to me having heart problems." She starts laughing and I smile at her.
Hannah walks up to us and looks at Quiet with a glint in her eyes, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at her like that?" She looks at me and smiles, "No reason, I was just looking at her."
I wrap my arms around her shoulders and look back at Quiet, "When you come back I better be the first to know." She nods her head and Owen stands up quickly, "No!! I better be the first to know!" I roll my eyes and laugh, "Let Quiet decide when she text us."
We walk outside to the parking lot, "I'll see y'all after Christmas." Quiet waves at me and Hannah, "Okay, have fun." They get in the car and speed out of the parking lot. Me and Hannah get in the car, "Are you coming back or going home?"
I haven't gone back home after me and my parents fought. I let out a long sigh, "I'll go back home, I have to talk to my parents about a few things." She nods her head as we head to her house.
After dropping Hannah off I head home. As soon as I walk in the house I see my parents waiting for me in the living room. I look at them both and see bags under their eyes. My mom walks up to me and lets out a relieved sigh, "Ian! Thank god you're safe!"
She tries to hug me, but I step back and see hurt run through her eyes. "I have to take a shower, I'll be back after I'm out." She slowly nods her head as a tear falls down her face.
I take my shower and go back downstairs. "We might as well talk about it." They both look at me, my dad is the first to speak. "We are so sorry. We didn't know that you felt that way this whole time. Why didn't you tell us?" I look at my dad and sigh, "I tried telling y'all plenty of times, but you wouldn't listen."
"Y'all are so scared that I might end up like Timmy that you blinded yourselves. You would never tell me no, you would never put me on punishment. You killed my brother by not listening to him." My mom falls to the floor crying, "Don't you think we know that!! Every day I go in his room and cry!! Every day I ask myself why did I do this to my baby boy?! Everything I do won't bring him back! Nothing can bring our son, your little brother back!!"
I look at my mom with wide eyes, I look at my dad and see him silently crying, he looks at me, "I can't go one day without crying! Not only did we lose Timmy, but we also lost you, Ian!" I stand up and look at my dad. I slowly fall to the floor beside my mom and hug her.
She starts crying harder, "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! We killed your brother!! We killed our son!!" I hug her tighter, "I'm sorry, I'm taking my anger out on y'all. I'm taking my frustration and my sadness out on you. You didn't kill him, mom, please stop crying. Let's start over."
My dad looks at me with wide eyes and my mom looks up at me. I show them a small smile, "For now on we will talk things out." They both nod their heads and smile, "I love you both, that never changed."
Me and my mom stand up, she walks over to my dad and he gives her a tight hug. He looks at me and smile, "Let's call it a night and go to bed." I nod my head and we all walk upstairs.
"Night mom and dad. Love you."
"Love you too Ian." They say at the same time.
Skipping New Years
Me and my parents spent our New Years watching movies together and drinking hot chocolate.
My phone starts ringing, "Hello."
"Hey, Ian!! I love you!! Thank you so much for the necklace!!" I laugh at Hannah, "You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it. You on your way back?"
Hannah spent time with her family in the deep country. So I sent my gift to her and she just got it. "Yeah I'm on my way now, I'll see you at the Underground." We hang up after that and I put my phone down.
I am heading over to Lily house where everybody is at. I haven't seen Quiet since we left the gym. I arrive at Lily house and open the door without knocking. "The main event has arrived!!" They all throw paper at me and I groan.
"Where is Quiet?! I haven't seen her in a long time!" Quiet comes from the kitchen with a present in her hands and laugh, "It was only a few days." I walk up to her and give her a hug. She hugs me back and laughs.
She hands me the present and smile, "It's for you, I got everyone a gift." I take the present and sit down beside Owen, "Where's your hoe?" I look at Lily with a lazy look as I open the present, "I'm guessing you didn't make a New Years resolution."
She smiles and nods her head, "I did, my New Years resolution is getting to beat up Hannah or Megan, either one is fine, but both is better." They all laugh and I roll my eyes.
I pull Quiet gift out and look at my new pair of gloves with wide eyes. "You got me a new pair?! This is a top brand! Quiet you didn't have to spend that much on me!" She sits in between Owen's legs and shrugs her shoulders, "My dad helped me get a good deal on them, so it wasn't that much."
I look at her and smile, "I might just use these for my fight tonight."
