We stood in bed and held each other so close so tight we kissed over and over my fingers stroked her long beautiful chocolate brown hair staring into her eyes "i..." the words choked me i hated myself for not telling her how i felt i looked down i thought i had to i just had to "i love you lulu" she placed her hand on my cheek
and kissed my lips "i love you too raphael" "i love you lulu because you made me feel alive you brought life back into me your the only one that loves me" i cried on her chest she petted my head softly "i love you because i share the same pain you do" she said sadly i looked up at her with confusion "what?" she
continued petting me "my mother.." she said "my mother is not a mother to me i hate her and she hates me she never wanted me in the first place my father did" she cried just like..just like me i thought how could someone so beautiful so perfect could know such agonizing pain such as i have "my father would beat on
me when i was younger i hate my parents my brother joe is too protective of me my brother romeo is the only normal one i was mistreated by my family" she started to cry i kissed her tears away we got out of bed got dressed before we walked out i hugged her "will you be my girlfriend lulu" i asked "i'd love to" she said
with a smile we finished my birthday had dinner had a cake for the first time romeo got me model cars i knew my life has just started here or so i thought the next morning i have made plans for me and my girlfriend to go on our first date she seemed more excited then i was later that day i got my driver's license
never thought it would be that easy i was lucky it was a woman working on that day when i came home my step brother romeo was so excited about me getting my license he had given me the keys to his ride around car 2003 ford mustang triple black i was overly excited romeo had asked me to repair his car just a tune up
is all it needed me and him got along extremely well i had taught him what i knew about cars i thought to myself i wonder if one day this guy will be my brother in law instead of my step brother after we finished we walked into the kitchen for a drink "man that's so cool you knowing about cars so much" he said "where's
lulu?" i asked he looked at him as if i said something bad "raph why are you always asking about her nevermind that why are you always with her" he said with a tone that almost had burned my insides "me and lulu share a special bond" i said he looked at me very suspicious "did you fuck her" he said with a
strong tone "what? no" i said so nervously "are you sure? because from what i heard sounded like you did don't lie to me i won't get mad" i gazed at him for a moment "i did romeo i love her she's my girlfriend" he looked at me disappointed "i have nothing to say about this a step brother and sister to fall in love it ain't right man" he walked away and shook his head i didn't know what to think at that point i left to look for lulu
i walked passed the bath room hearing someone vomit it sounded like lulu but was not sure i waited to see who it was she walked out slowly holding her precious little belly "lulu what's wrong?" i panicked "it's nothing don't worry" she said her voice was exhausted i picked her up and carried her to her bedroom placed her gently on the bed to rest "can i get you anything?" i asked "no i'm fine i just need to make a quick call i'll be
ready shortly for our date" she said "okay i'm just worried i'll check on you shortly i love you" i said with all of my heart my heart.. i felt the hole in my heart has closed as we walked out the door romeo had gazed at us me and romeo had looked eye to eye i said with my lips thank you i thanked him for giving me a chance
for not being mad i thanked him for quite afew reasons i shut the door behind me joe had joined romeo in the kitchen for a drink "romes i don't like this so called brother of ours" joe said romeo had a look on his face of guilt "romes?" he asked "hm? oh yes i like him he's cool.." "why do i got a feeling that you know
something that i don't" joe muttered "because your stupid joe" he said joe had grabbed romeo at his collar and literally lifted him from his seat and pulled him over the table knocking trays of food everywhere romeo struggled to break free from joe's grip "tell me what you know!" he shouted "now!" "raphael and lulu are
lovers!" romeo yelled joe had threw his brother on the ground rushed to the front door waiting anxiously for my return we pulled up in the drive way before me and lulu got out i leaned over to kiss her i loved the feel of her pretty pink lips against mine as i drew myself back lulu had slipped over to my side and kissed me
her fingers running through my cold black hair i was pale that night lulu was white as snow but had a special glow to her we kissed for a long moment "i love you" she said "i love you more" i said with a wide grin she laughed as we got out of the car i thought why was it so dark? why wasn't the lights on? i was almost afraid to walk in lulu opened the door as we walked in the lights had suddenly turned on joe had
pushed lulu away knocking her to the floor grabbed my shirt i couldn't think my mind went a thousand different ways my eyes widen my heart pounding i was truly lost "don't you ever go near my sister again!" he shouted at me i shot a glance at lulu romeo had helped her rise from the ground as lulu held her stomach
i thought how could he do that to her? him being six foot three he could crush a little seventy two pound little girl joe was truly a monster i was luck he didn't attack me i ran to my room romeo had helped lulu into her's afew moments later i heard a small knock on my door i stood up against my headboard "raph?" i heard romeo's voice a sigh a relief 'why did you tell him?" i urged romeo had sat on my bed "raph" he sighed "i had
no choice he attacked me" i gasped abit "i'm sorry for snapping romeo i didn't know" i said he had his arm around me "don't worry about it get some sleep" he said with a smirk as romeo left i shut my eyes thinking how i should warm up to joe i had a plan but all went down hill i have not spoken to lulu in three weeks one day i knocked on her door softly "yes?" she said sobbing i rushed to hold her "why are you crying?" i
panicked poor lulu was crying so bad on me i didn't know what else to do but hold her and kiss her tears away "raphael i'm pregnant with your baby" she cried not one word came out of me i was in a shock i thought for a moment she's pregnant.. with my child. No this couldn't be happening a thousand thoughts flew through my head i was too young to be a father lulu what would happen to lulu her being so small how
could she go through child birth? not being strong enough for it i shook my head no no no! i ran out of her room into the living room i headed for the front door suddenly i felt a strong grasp on my hair that jerked me back as i went back it was joe i knew i was going to die right there and then joe had slammed me up against the wall not one not two but three times i swore my back was broken "i know you did it! you got her
pregnant!" he screamed my eyes widen so much blinking a thousand times in a heartbeat next thing i know his fist was aimed for my face he repeatedly hit my face more then twenty times i thought i was going to die i heard a sudden yell "don't kill him! that's enough! keep him in the basement" chester had said joe's grip still in my hair i felt i had no face anymore next thing i know joe picked me up and literally threw me down
the basement shut and locked the door i knew my back was broken my shoulder had been badly sprained from falling on the cement steps i stood there in agonizing pain i went unconscious eight hours later i have awaken in a hospital i looked around panicked i seen lulu and romeo had rush to me "raphael!" lulu cried "raph are you alright?' romeo panicked i barely could see them i was left with broken shoulder sprained knee
two black eyes a broken nose along with a badly bruised face i couldn't speak i wanted to cry but i didn't instead i tried to sit up romeo helped lulu had softly kissed my face all over "can you talk?" romeo asked "a little" i barely spoke "good because i need to talk to you" he ordered "my mother and father wants lulu to have this baby and since your the father you are to pay child support if you do not wed" he said i was too weak to say anything instead i cried i didn't want to be a father at only thirteen i wasn't ready for marriage at this point i wished joe had ended my life
