Deceit, Remus, Logan, and Virgil walked beside me in the bust streets of Florida. We passed many people on the way back to our house. The day was sunny and cloudless, making it increasingly hot outside. I was wearing some jean shorts and one of Deceits black tee shirts, Remus's sash as a belt and Virgil's hoodie around my waist. They were used to me stealing their clothes as it is a regular occurrence. The black band around my arm, a symbol of my magical side and type of birthmark of a witch was visible. My black hair was pulled back into a braided messy bun and Deceit's shirt gave me some cleavage even though I try to hide it. The boys are very protective of me, which I am fine with, and insisted on going with me to the store. Me, being a somewhat pretty woman who gets harassed out on the street almost every day, does not know how the boys will react when they see me being cat called for the first time.
As we rounded a corner, I noticed three teens smoking by the entrance of a café. I internally groaned as they spotted me and perked up. Freezing for a moment, I got along side Logan, almost hiding behind him as we passed the teens. Once I heard one of them whistle, I knew it was starting.
"I'd tap that." One of them commented as we passed. I felt Logan tense beside me, as well as Virgil behind me. I noticed one came up behind us and ran up to me, hitting me on the butt before walking away laughing.
"Just did." He laughed. All the boys froze and slowly looked behind them to the teens.
"Guys, come on." I pleaded. I grabbed Logan's arm and tried to pull him, but he didn't budge. The teens stopped laughing as Deceit grabbed the one who hit me and pulled him into a choke hold high in the air. I gasped along with the teens at the sight of Deceit angry. "Deceit put him down and let's go. I'm fine. It's a daily occurrence for me. I'm use... to... it." I became quitter at the end as I realized what I had revealed. The boys looked at me in shock.
"Daily occurrence?" Logan repeated. I stepped back and held my tongue, casting my gaze to the ground. Deceit threw the teen to the wall, effectively knocking him out. The others grabbed their friend and scurried off while the others stared at me. I continued to walk away. They followed me but were weary of everyone. The second occurrence was a drive by. Three older men in a white car, the hood off, hollered at me.
"Hey sweet cheeks!" I ignored them but stopped to entangle my hand with Deceit's to keep him from killing someone.
"Even think about it, I will slap you," I warned Deceit. He nodded but his gaze was stone cold.
"How about you ditch the losers and come to my place. I can show you- "
"Even finish that sentence, I will rip your skin off." Remus yelled. I flinched.
"Remus! If they catch me, they will rape and kill me!" I hissed. He looked at me confused. I sighed and explained. "Women ignore them to not get raped or killed. If we draw attention to ourselves, that's exactly what will happen to us if we don't. You guys don't get it. We avoid them as much as we breath. Men in a room full of women is happy. A woman full of men are terrified. That's how it is." I ranted. "I deal with this every day. Its fine." I reassured. We stopped walking while the others howled and drove away, laughing.
"How many times has this happened?" Virgil asked, a sharp tone in his voice. I didn't answer, I just turned around and stared to walk away. Before I could get anywhere, Logan pulled me back. I ended up hitting Remus's chest. Remus lightly hugged me from behind, for comfort and to keep me from running. I let go of Deceit with a yelp. Deceit gave Remus a nod and he picked me up bridal style. I yelped and held on to Remus. He smirked and held on to me tighter as he followed the others into a small alleyway.
Remus sat me down but kept a hold around my waist, he nuzzled his head into the right of my neck, which I'm use too. Logan leaned to me, looking me dead in the eyes. Virgil is with Deceit behind him trying to calm him down. I looked anywhere but Logan's eyes, a blushing mess. I shrunk back into Remus who held me tighter and purred against my neck. I felt Logan take a hold on my chin and force me to meet his eyes with a sharp tone.
"Meet my eyes."
I finally stared back into his brown eyes but tried to change to a cold stare.
"I get harassed almost every day since I was 17. This a daily thing for me. Why do you guys care?" I hissed. Since I was so small, Remus could cross his arms around my body, which led him too rub circles in my hip. His forehead was resting on my neck, content with his position. I got my arms free and held my hands over Remus's, rubbing my thumbs over his hand. All of them were a little over a head taller than me so Logan towered over me with a hard gaze and rage in his eyes. He looked down on me with a smoldering face. "Oh no... not the stare. Not that stare. Logan please, its no fair." I pleaded. The "stare" I was talking about always makes Logan look dominant and hot. I'm always a blushing mess and stutter and agree with anything he says when he uses that stare on me. I doubt anyone knows what I'm talking about but every one of them have their own ways of making me melt. "Stop looking at me like that." I mumbled, looking down.
"Did I say take your eyes off me?" He scolded. I shook my head but kept my gaze down. He used his index finger to tilt my head up to meet his eyes. I instantly shriveled up and blushed. I raised my hand up and lightly pushed his face to the right.
"Stop." I begged, holding the 'o' out for longer. I felt Remus plant small kisses on my shoulder and neck to calm me down from my tense position. Deceit and Virgil came back over, calmer than before. "Guys. This is normal for me. Why do you guys care so much?" I asked, taking my hand away from Logan's face. Deceit got on my left side and Virgil stayed on the right.
"Thomas...cares about you in a certain way... so we feel the same way." Virgil confessed.
"What certain way?" Remus uncrossed his arms and started rubbing up and down my sides, slightly nipping at my now exposed shoulder. I shuttered under his touch but said nothing.
"You don't mean he loves me, do you?" I gasped. The three in front of me shared a look before hesitantly nodding. I froze before wiggling out of Remus's grip, walking away from them and creating space. "No. No! That is ridiculous. I love him. I do. In a soul mate way. I do love him, but he doesn't love me."
"Kenzie- "
"Don't lie to me again." I hissed. I backed up and started to run away. They didn't follow me. I ran all the way to Thomas's house where Patton is sick in bed and Roman and Thomas is taking care of him. I rushed in and closed the door, tears streaming down my face. I didn't notice as I walked up stairs and knocked on Patton's bedroom door. I heard od soft "come in", followed by a series of coughs. I silently opened the door and crossed the room to Patton's bed. Patton has the flu. It's nothing that serious thankfully. The three instantly recognized I was crying and became worried.
"What happened?"
"They lied to me. Anyone who knows me, knows the one thing I can't stand is lying. Why would they lie?" I sniffed, sitting on the foot of Patton's bed. Thomas opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. "This isn't about me. Patton is sick and we need to get him better. We can worry about me later." The others looked at each other and hesitantly nodded, bringing their attention back to Patton.
"My head feels funny." He trailed off. I chuckled and scooted closer to his head, taking the back of my hand and feeling his forehead and cheeks. He seemed to be hot and sweating, all while shivering. I frowned when I felt the fever he still had.
"Thomas, go get a clean wash rag and a bowl of ice water. Roman, go get me some Tylenol, a spoon, green tea bag, a cup of hot water, and a dash of peppermint and a black marker. All on a tray if you please." I ordered. They nodded and stood up, making their way to the kitchen to get the things I asked. I heard the door open and knew the others got back from where I left them. I tensed slightly but let it go, focusing on Patton. "What's your worst symptom? Headache? Nausea? Inability to breathe?" he seemed to think for a moment before answering.
"The pounding in my head." I nodded in understanding.
"The tea should help with that." I announced. Everyone came back with the needed ingredients along with the others. Roman sat the tray next to me on the bed, Thomas setting the wash rag and the bowl of ice water on the tray too. "Thomas and Roman, help Patton sit up and take his shirt off, we don't need the fever to get worse." I commanded. They nodded and worked to do that while I stood up with the tray and went into the bathroom. Logan followed me but everyone else stayed in the bedroom.
I wrote the symbols of love, strength and healing on the tea bag before pouring the peppermint all of it, letting the leaves soak up the healing properties of the mint. I felt Logan's worried stare at the back of my head but made no intention of talking to him. I dipped the tea bag in the hot water and watched the colors swirl into the water with a sigh. I crushed two Tylenol tablets with the spoon before mixing the newly formed powder into the tea. I've decided to be lazy and put a spell in song form. I did it once when Roman was hurt and since is a Disney fanatic, I think, if he ever known what I did, be ecstatic to have been healed by Rapunzel's song.
I tried to walk back into the bedroom, but Logan stopped me.
"Let me help Patton first." I whispered. He nodded and hesitantly let me go. I walked into the bedroom, quick to blush at the now shirtless Patton laying across the bed on top of the sheets. I ignored my blushing face and went straight to Patton, helping him sit up and lean to the headboard. "Drink this tea, you should feel better in a couple of hours." He nodded and shakily took the cup from my hands, glowing a little as he drank the tea.
Almost instantly, color was brought back to him. I smiled as he quickly drank the last drop of the tea.
"Lay down and rest. I'll stay here to keep you in check." He nodded and slowly laid back down. The others have left, silently talking about what happened at the ally and on the way to the store. I ignored them and got the white rag and dipped it in the cold water, ringing it out before slowly and carefully drawing the symbol of healing on Patton's chest and toned stomach. "Flower gleam and glow..." The water slightly glowed a golden aura. "Let your power shine." I continued to trace the pattern of healing on his chest. "Make the clock reverse." I noticed more color shined into Patton's cheeks. "Bring back what once was mine." Patton's smile and seemingly cheery self is being brought back, you could see it in his face. "Heal what has been hurt." I could tell the pain the flu had brung has disappeared. "Change the fates design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine...What once was mine..." I finished singing. Spells like that usually wear people out so, naturally both Patton and I were tired. With Patton being weak after the flu, he fell asleep almost instantly.
I walked out of the room, suddenly exhausted from the use of magic. Everyone was pale, staring at me. I just walked past them and went into the living room, falling into the couch. The others followed me down, Thomas sitting down on the couch as well. I moved my feet and rested them on his lap after he sat down, my head doing the same thing in Logan's lap.
"If your going to all sit here, then just move me to the floor." I joked as Roman just picked me up and laid me on his lap. Deceit and Remus sat on the floor near us. Virgil sat with them surprisingly.
"They...didn't lie Kenzie." Thomas began. I tensed.
"Not now. Please. Just...no." I looked at Thomas. "Don't play with my silly feelings." He began to speak again, but I cut him off with a sharp "no." They all frowned at me. I sat back up, standing up and crossing the room to the front door. "I need to go home. Call me when Patton feels better." I muttered, opening the door.
