Man, let him go. Stop doing this now. people are watching. Don’t make his words ring true. Damnit I am keeping Gen safe. I start pulling on Man’s shirt trying to get him off Tyler when Callum grabs me around my waist and pulls me away from my husband and my son.
Cal what the hell are you doing, let me go. Do you have any idea what Tyler could do to Man. I start slapping at his hands. Cal is a lowkey kind of person. He doesn’t speak much, but when he does you should listen.
Mom…mom, listen to me. calm down and look around. People are everywhere. Man and Tyler are taking care of something we should have let happen a long time ago. Let this play out. Man knows what he is doing. Besides Uncle Liam and Uncle Storm aren’t going to let it go any futher then it should. Chill out mom.
Callum leads down and kisses my check. Let it go mom, all is good,k.
I just nod. This may be the hardest thing I will ever have to watch.
Don’t you ever fucking talk about my sister like that again. What the fuck is wrong with you. That’s your daughter man. You shouldn’t look at her that way. Your own blood man. You are sicker then I thought. Lets do it this way. Stay the hell away from all of us. Me my mom, my brothers and my sister. Don’t you dare even look at Gen. we are fucking dead to you, do you understand me you sick bastard.
Storm walks up to Man and pulls him off Tyler. But man isn’t finished. He gets out of Storms grip.
No Storm, not until he says he understands what I just said. Man looks Tyler dead in his eyes. Tell me you understand mother fucker.
Tyler is getting back to his feet. Tyler and man look so much alike they could almost pass as twins. Im really hoping that Tyler will just leave it alone and then we can go home, but what the hell am I thinking I am talking about Tyler Childs and he isn’t going to let anyone get anything over on him.
You little shit, Tyler says as he laughs and wipes his pants off.
I got to give you some credit thou, you are pretty strong considering your mother is a weak whore.
Callums arms go a little tight around me but then loosen right up. He whispers sorry in my ear and lets me go. Tyler has this shit eatin grin on his face. He wears it so much. I really hate his face. Malachi, Liam, Storm and Man all have looks that I swear could kill. I need to get Tyler out of here before someone kills him, because all of the men in my life look ready to kill. I walk away from Callum and toward Tyler but Man reaches out and grabs me.
Mom what are you doing? You are not going with Tyler are you?
Man doesn’t wait for me to answer he can tell by my face what the answer is.
Tyler doesn’t let me speak either, he is just trying to keep shit going. But if he only knew what the four of them could and want to do to him he may shit down and shut the hell up.
Your mom is coming with me. you think she is going to leave me for some bratty ass kids? Your mom is a well trained whore and she knows her place. Now for your do’s and donts. This goes for all of you. After this day Rain will not be allowed to see or talk to any of you. You are not to come to my house or call my house. I have someone that has agreed to… ets say watch ove Rainy while I live my life.
He looks over them making sure that they understand his next words.
If any of you come near her ill make it where the only way you will be able to speak to her is by talking to a fucking headstone. Now boy, do you got me!
Tyler reaches for me but instead of taking my hand he grabs my hair. What is it with guys and grabbing hair. Tyler yanks me to him we are face to face, he pulls my head back so far its like im looking at the sky.
Its time to say goodbye Rain, you know what will happen if you fight me on this.
Liam speaks for the first time. Not so much speaks at first but laughs.
So that’s what your using to get her to go with you. He taps Storm on the arm and says one word “Genesis” so im guessing Liam told Storm what I told him that night in the hospital. Storm also starts to laugh which in turn pisses Tyler off and he proves it by pulling my hair harder and bitting my cheek.
What the hell is so goddamn funny. He asks Liam and Storm. When they don’t answer he looks at me and says, what have you told them? I want to shake my head nothing but I cant move my head. Storm beats me to speaking anyway.
Oh she didn’t have to tell us that you’re a pussy, we knew that already. No what she told Liam was that you like little girls but we knew that already to. What we didn’t know is that you want your own daughter laid benath you. That you crave the feel of her body like she is a grown ass woman instead of a 12 year old girl. Storm then looks to me, All good baby sister we aren’t going to let him get her. She is safe and always will. So if you go with him its because you want to not because you have to.
Wht do you mean Storm? Where is Gen? what have you done. Before I can say anything else Tylers phone goes off with what im guessing is a text tone. Im still waiting for Storm to answer me when Tyler puts his phone in front of my face. On the screen is a picture. Tylers voice is right at my ear.
You walk away with me now and he lets her go. You walk away with them I have my fun.
NO I say. Tyler no please let her go I whisper. What are you doing she is your daughter.
Stop saying shit like that Rain. You know they aren’t mine. You wanted to ruin my life and you did. Now make your fucking choice.
I left my head now that tyler let my hair go. Liam, Storm, Man, Callum and Malachi are all looking between me and Tylers phone. I return to the Rainy that Tyler trained me to me.
Its over yall. Let me go and let him win. It’s the only way to save Gen, it’s the only way to save all of you.
I walk up to Man, take care of them Man. You have to be strong. I know that there is a lot of shit that you don’t understand but soon and I mean vry soon you will. You have turned into a great man, I need you to show your brothers how to be strong men like you.
I kiss man on the cheek then hug and kiss each of my sons. Then make my way to Storm I wanna save Liam for last.
Storm, thank you for taking care of my babies and showing them what a man should be and teaching them to be strong. It means so much to me. I put my arms around his waist my head over his heart, when I pull back I tell him, now get them home. Stay home, Gen will be there soon and she will need you.
When he just stands there and looks at me I scream GO RIGHT FUCKING NOW STROM GO!!!!!
Storm walks around the car telling my boys to get in and lets go. Liam is asking whats going on is he needed, I grab his arm.
You are needed Liam and ill let you go but I need to make sure you know that everything I said to you up there is the truth. I need to know that you know how I feel.
Liam puts one hand on the side of my neck and pulls me to him. He doesn’t kiss me he just places his forehead on mine and says, I remember and believe it all Rain. I need you to know tht when I said I am and will get you out I meant it. If it takes my last fucking breath you will be with me. I will keep you safe as well as the kids.
When he finishes talking he kisses my forehead and tells me he loves me. I push him and tell him to go help Gen.
I turn to Tyler, did they let her go, Tyler? All he does is stand there smirking.
Tyler, I yell, did they let my daughter go?
Not yet, I hav a message I wanna give her from her mama.
I jump at him, I know ill never win and I may end up right back in the hospital but he is talkig about my daughter. I caught him off guard and he falls I jump on top of him and my hands just go wild. Im slapping and scrathing and punching, I know that if I live through this, I will pay for it. He gets tired of letting me hit on him I guess because next thing I know I am hit in the face. Instance blood just pouring from my nose and lip. My ribs are screaming for me to stop but I don’t.
Tyler throws me off and starts kicking me, im not sure if he is even aiming. When a kick hits my ribs the scream that rips through the air is filled with pain. I relieaze I’m not being kicked anymore. When I open my eyes I see detec
tive Falls has Tyler bend over a car and putting him in cuffs.
No, no, no this cant happen. If Tyler is in jail he cant call off his hounds. My whole body is in so much pain but I have to get up, its to save Genesis. I cant let anything happen to my baby girl. Who knows what has happen to her already and its my fault, because I was stupid enough to think I could leave Tyler and he would just let me go.
Falls, I manage to say loud enough for him to hear me. and he turns to me.
No Rain, stay where you are. I have called for backup. To Tyler he says, right here in front of the hospital, you dumb fuck she was released what 20 fucking mins ago. Didn’t have time to get away this time did you.
No, Falls, I yell again, well I try. He brings Tyler over with him and sits him on the ground beside me. I don’t give Falls a change to say anything else.
Falls, you have to let him go. He didn’t do anything. I fell, he tripped over me and he was just getting up when you walked up. I swear that’s what happen. You have to let him go, he didn’t do anything. I know that falls knows im lying. I can see it in his eyes that he is going to try and fight me on this. I have to get Falls to let Tyler go.
Falls, please listen to me, he wasn’t doing anything wrong.. I don’t get to finish before Falls is talking over me
He wasn’t doing anything huh, so I guess he foot just happen to connect to your ribs 4 times before he went down or was it when he was getting up. Fill me the fuck in Rainy because I have three witness that say your lying your ass off right the fuck now.
Im not pressing charges, uncuff him so he can get me home Falls.
Rain you don’t have to press charges. It happen on a public street and there are witness. Tyler is going down for this.
I look at Tyler. This isn’t looking good for me or for Genesis. Who knows what his goons are doing to her right now.
SONVABITCH, I yell, then I grab my ribs. Shit I bet they are cracked again. Falls phone rings, he pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at the caller id then looks to me anwering his phone with his eyes still on me, Falls he says. I know it can only be my brother. Storm must be telling him that they cant find Genesis. If Falls would let Tyler go then she would be home and safe. But he wants to sit here and fuss with me about letting Tyler go. Whatever Storm says has Falls on his feet.
Slowly I stand, my arm around my ribs. I look at Tyler and he mouths the words “fixs this shit”. Im trying, I say. Not worried about anyone hearing me. Falls is walking back toward us, he had started pacing about the time he stood up. Making his way back to us. He is not wearing a happy face. Falls stands behind Tyler and puts his knee in his back. Tyler trys to hide the pain, but not fast enough because I see it before he replaces the pain with anger. Anger that he means for me.
Why did I notice all the evil in his eyes when we were younger. Why didn’t I listen to everyone in my family when they said to walk away from him. Since I met Tyler my mom has said, if you stay with him for all time Rain, he will be the death of you. I never listen to her. She never allowed him in the house. Even after we were married he wasn’t allowed in the house. Not for anything. I remember when I went into labor with the twins. I was so scared. I was at moms house Tyler was at work. The doctor had said I shouldn’t be alone because I could go at any moment. At the time I had no idea that I was in labor. My water hadn’t broken. I just had really bad pains when I stood up from the sofa hoping that it would relive some of the pain I looked down at the sofa and where I was sitting was all blood. I had no idea wat was going on. I was 16 almost 17 years old I had never had a kid before. I just started yelling for mom, and she came running. I kept telling her to cll Tyler, mom please call Tyler. All she would say is lets get you to the car baby. We can call him from the car. At that time in my life all I wanted was Tyler.
It was after the boys were born that Tyler started changing. He would say things like the boys didn’t like him then it changed to they didn’t look like him. Than on April 22,1999, our son Jeremiah Dean Childs died in his sleep. The doctors said it was sids. There was no cause, no reason as to why my baby was taken. They said no one was to blame, but I blamed myself anyway, and Tyler felt the same way. He said I wasn’t a good mother and that our son was dead because I couldn’t take care of him. The day I buried my son is the first time Tyler ever laid hands on me. at the time I didn’t say anything, I felt like I deserved it. I believed myself and Tyler when he said I killed Jeremiah. I also knew that day, that what my mother said about me staying with Tyler and him killing me was the truth. I still believe it to this day, the only difference between then and now is that I now know I didn’t kill my baby and I couldn’t have stopped it. I wanted him to kill me back then, sometimes now I wish he would just so it would all stop.
Coming back to the present I see Falls uncuffing Tyler and hear Falls tell Tyler that he is one lucky motherfucker, and that if he thinks that he is finished with him or thinks that he is walking away then he is sadly mistaken. Falls turns Tyler around, gets two inches from his face and says, “I’m coming for you, Childs, and I won’t stop until I have you. Every time you are out know that I am watching you. I know your every move. Think of me as an STD that you can’t get rid of. When you feel someone watching you, just know you aren’t losing your mind. It’s me, just waiting for you to fuck up.”
Tyler’s face changes again. He had this shit-eating grin on his face but with each word that comes from Falls the anger fills Tyler’s face. Falls decides that he isn’t done. He hasn’t poked the snake enough right. The snake that is going to the same place as me. All Falls wants is for Tyler to hit him.
“Oh, look at the big boy getting mad,” Falls says. Tyler’s hands are now fists. My fear is that he will throw a punch at Falls, after that I can’t help. Falls takes his fingers and moves Tyler’s hair from over his eye.
“I can’t wait to lock your pretty ass up. I want you to feel what it’s like to be beaten, I want you to know what it’s like to be raped, to have something taken from you that you don’t want to give. I’ll be hand picking a few guys that are looking forward to some fresh meat. I’ll hear all about it.”
Then falls kisses Tyler right on the mouth and gives him the biggest grin I have ever seen. Tyler is spitting on the ground and wiping his mouth. Falls makes his way to me. My first question to him is very weird and maybe I shouldn’t have asked but at that point my word filter was gone.
“Dude, are you like gay? I mean if you are, that is really fine with me.”
I keep talking, not really making any sense, he is laughing at me. So I look up at him.
“Rain, I’m not gay, Tyler isn’t gay. But look at his face right now. He wants to deck me so bad. He knows I’m not backing off and that I will get him. And it is pissing him off that he can’t do anything about it.”
“Falls, his friends have Genesis, we have to find her. Tyler isn’t going to let me go anywhere. Hell, the way my day has gone I will end up right back here before the night is over.”
I realize what I just said and try to cover my tracks. Laugh it off. But Falls doesn’t buy it.
“I know what is going on Rain. That was your brother, he and the boys are out looking for here. I told them to head home and I’ll release Tyler. That’s the only way any of us know to get her back. But Rain know, I wasn’t lying when I said he has eyes on him. You have eyes on you, too. We are all watching. Don’t worry, baby girl. We will get Gen back and when we do we will be coming for you. So don’t get comfortable.”
Falls cups my face in his hands, then walks to his car.
I watch Falls walk away. I have this feeling that things are about to get a lot worse for me. Tyler has just seen Liam touch me and kiss my forehead then Falls touches me. I didn’t mind because I know that Falls knows my heart is with Liam but Tyler will see it as men putting their hands on me and I belong to him.
Tyler grabs my arm and starts dragging me down the sidewalk toward our apartment.
“Bring your fucking ass on, Rain. What’s w
ith these cocksuckers putting their fucking hands on you? Shit, you aren’t anything special.”
Tyler stops suddenly and pulls me around to face him. He looks pissed and he is squeezing my arms so tight that I know I will have his hand prints when he lets me go. If he lets me go.
“Did you fuck them, Rain? Is that why they think they can be touching all over you? They think they can touch what’s mine, so you must have gave it up to them for them to think that.”
I’m shaking my head No, but he doesn’t listen. He doesn’t want to hear what I have to say. He doesn’t want an answer. This, whatever he has planned, is just to get back at me for whatever he thinks I have done wrong. He just keeps talking, so I shut my mouth look him in his eyes and listen. It’s all I can do.
“So did you fuck them, Rain? Did you let them inside your tight body? In my body? Is that their smell on you?”
One of Tyler’s hands moved down my body slowly while he was talking. His hand has reached my pants. He slides his hand inside my jeans, rubs my clit, and then thrusts three fingers inside me. It hurts. It always hurts. Tyler doesn’t get me ready anymore, he just forces himself inside me. I want to cry out but we are standing on the street. I squeeze my eyes shut and bite my lip. I bite my lip so hard that I break the skin. When the taste of blood hits my tongue, I suck my lip inside my mouth. I feel his breath on my face, I can smell the alcohol, I can smell a perfume that isn’t mine. I’m trying to not focus on the pain. If I can’t feel the pain, the pain can’t hurt, right? Maybe I’m just cracked in the head, one too many kicks to the face or something.
He is rubbing his cheek on my cheek, to the world he is just a husband happy to have his wife in his arms. He is good at acting. “You want to act and be treated like a whore, Rain? I can help you with that. Let’s make sure you’re doing it the right way.”
Tyler steps away from me, turns me so that I am walking again. I get a bad feeling when he pulls his phone out. But with the calls he makes and from what I hear from his side, I know that shit is about to get bad. The last call he makes has my skin crawling and I know tonight will not end well for me. The last call he makes is to a guy name Reggie. I have always hated Reggie and I think he gets off on the fact that I hate him so much. So I begin to truly panic when I hear Tyler say, “I know you have wanted your chance at her for a long while, now you have your chance. You just make sure you keep that tiny dick hard. We all remember what happen last time you tried fucking in a group.”
