Gaven quickly grabbed my hand and jerked me out of the bathroom, slamming the door and holding it shut behind him. "Gaven! What was that for! You almost smashed her fingers!" Gaven rolled his eyes, "Seems pretty good for the girl that seduces my brother." I looked at Gaven, and then at the door as if Ryly was standing right there. "What?" "That chick, she's dating my brother. They've been dating since the second grade when we moved." "So how do you know she seduces him!" "I saw it!" Ryly knocked behind the door and pleaded for Gaven to open it, "Guys! Please open the door I'm scared!"
Gaven let go of the door and sent Ryly tripping into the bathtub. Before I could grab Gaven's hand, he gave her the finger. Ryly's jaw dropped as she finally realized he knew something. "Hey twit! You saw didn't you?" Gaven clenched his fist and then swung at her face. Blood was smeared all over my upper lip and on Gaven's fist. "You're a..." I glared at Gaven as he closed his mouth, refusing to finish his sentence. I didn't know what Gaven saw, or what Ryly did. But I was pretty sure I didn't want to know. Gaven stormed outside and left the door open behind him. After a moment of looking back and forth between Ryly and the door I headed after Gaven.
"Gaven! Gaven! Wait up!" Gaven stopped, but didn't turn around. "What did she do!" Gaven rolled his eyes up at the sky and then looked at the ground. "She took it..." I got ready to ask what he meant but soon realized. "...EW!" I shrieked as he covered his eyes and looked at me with disgust. "I know." "You aren't even suppose to do that until you're older!" Honestly, no one thought this was disgusting. Maybe the younger kids, no. Not even them. But the way we had been raised, we had known it very well to be wrong. You weren't allowed to do this until you were 25 and had been married for at least a year. Everyone did it anyways, just to go against the rules.
"But....everyone does it anyways." Gaven shook his head, "Thomas didn't. Thomas was very determined to keep his promise. Our whole family is." "Oh...My family doesn't care. Dean has a little girl back at Nikki's house." "How old is she?" I shrugged, "I'm not really sure. I think five." Gaven threw back his head, "Wow! Only thirteen?" I nodded my head, "I know right? Her name is Roselenne." "Cute name." We stood there, it was an awkward silence. "Hey guys! Come on. Get in the car, I have to go pick up my son!" Gaven and I turned around to see Ryly getting in some sort of small grey thing with wheels. "Get in!" Gaven ad I ran, but when we got in the 'car' Gaven had a confused look on his face. "You...have a son? You cheated o my brother?" Ryly shook her head, "What! No! It's his kid." Gaven's jaw clenched and he violently started punching the seat infront of him.
"Woh! Kid! Settle the heck down God!" Gaven had little tears in his eyes, he wipped his eyes and then let his head rest in my lap. I stroked his hair and then fell asleep to the buzzing sound of the car. When I woke up we must had drove two hundred miles! It was pitch black outside and Gaven was drooling in my lap. "Hey, we're almost there."
