A/N: Hello again, folks! Welcome to the next chapter! ^_^ I hope you didn't miss me too much last night, but I had to play Mario Kart! Lol. Anyway, thanks to Thrillergirl, I've gotten a little bit of new insight on my story. I'm going to try my best with this chapter and future ones, thanks to her insight. After all, nobody's a perfect writer! Let's go! :)
Chapter 4: Reason
Kevin's PoV:
Marv sits down on the end of the bed. I feel tense, as I tremble, but I need to let Marv tell his side of the story. Besides last year, he wasn't the one trying to kill me. It's Harry I need to worry about… Though I still have my doubts about this man being my real Father, I guess I should listen to him. But, he can't expect me to agree with his actions…
"Kevin, the reason why I took you tonight, is not only to keep you away from Harry, but because I love you. I want to spend time with you, and I think you've had that with your Mother for the past nine years,"
"So, what, you're gonna keep me for nine years, now?!" I feel my blood beginning to boil. I clench my fists and my teeth.
"I hope it doesn't have to be that long, but…"
"Well, don't let it be! Don't even let it be for a day! Take me back home! Now!" As my temper is flaring, Marv looks down at his lap, appearing to feel sorrowful. If he feels so bad, why doesn't he take me back home?
"Kevin, I can't… Can't you see that I can't?" As he looks up at me, he starts raising his voice.
"No, I can't!"
As I continue to argue back, I realize I'm not letting Marv finish his side of the story. Though, that feeling quickly fades, when I receive a hand across the face… again. I'm left in shock. This is twice he's done this to me, in only a matter of a few hours. As I stare at him, shocked, the man is taken aback, obviously surprised by his own actions. He abruptly stands up from the bed to leave the room, without saying a word.
Though, I'm proven wrong about him leaving silently, because, as he's closing the bedroom door, he mutters, "I'll be back later. You need to think things over…"
That's when the door closes behind him. Almost immediately, my shocked state turns to crying. I just bury my face into the pillow and sob, not knowing what else to do. That's when I remember something: I'm not helpless. I didn't let Marv explain his side of the story, like I was going to, but I'm not helpless…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D I hope you don't mind the short chapters, but maybe, they'll get longer, as time goes on. After all, I'm still brainstorming on what I'm doing… I just hope this story doesn't reach a hundred chapters, like the last one! :o Well, with the way these short chapters are, I wouldn't be surprised, if this story did! Anyway, I think that's all the incessant rambling I'm going to do for today. For now, adios! I'll see you folks soon! :D
