Blackness

Stay Away From Her

Me and Tony sat on the bench for a while, It seemed like years. It felt so welcoming, I've never felt this way for a guy I'd met only a couple days ago. All good things come to an end though. As I was shook from my little nap, I heard Tony screaming at someone, then I heard other familiar voices.

"SHE'S COMING HOME WITH US RIGHT NOW!" Vic yelled at Tony, I looked up to see Tony pissed as hell.

"SHE IS NOT. YOU'LL BRAINWASH HER WITH YOUR STUPID FUCKING STORIES!" Tony spat, venom dripping from every word he spoke.

"YOU HAVE NO FUCKING SAY IN THIS, SHE'S NOT YOUR COUSIN!" I heard Mike yell, but he seemed so far away for some reason. I decided I wasn't letting Tony fight this battle anymore, I was about to loose it. I shot up and glared at Vic, face red with anger.

"Don't I get a say in this?!" I said calmly but sternly "I am fucking 18!" I continued, not breaking eye contact with Vic.

"But your not supposed to be with him!" Vic stomped his foot on the ground, as if it would slit in two and somehow separate me and Tony.

"Last I checked Vic, your not my parent! Your my cousin! Your only doing this to me because your older!" I spat, tears at my waterline.

"I'm doing this because I know what he's done to people Lys!"

"Oh bullshit!" Tony laughed "Your still hanging on strong to that god damn story, aren't you?"

"Hell ya Perry, because it's fucking true!" Mike jumped in, he was now closer, standing next to Vic.

"Vic, Mike! What if I did this to you? You'd be doing the same exact thing to me!" I screamed, my vocal cords hurting with every word that fell from my mouth.

They both looked at each other, stunned, pissed, and sad that I was turning on them. I'd never turned on family before, and for one if they got in trouble in their early years, I'd take blame or their side, no matter what they did. They deserved what they were getting though. I felt for Tony and I wasn't just going to leave him because my dumb ass cousins were being dicks.

"Leave, right now." I said, turning my head away.

"But Lys-"

"Just, go." I said, raising my voice a little and pointing to their car, in which they had come in.

"Fine, but don't bother coming home!" They screamed, turning and walking back to their car. That line scared me, it was getting dark and I had no where left to go. I turned to Tony, and, at the time I couldn't help but cry. I sobbed into his shoulder while he whispered comforting things in my ear.

"Tony, where do I go?" I sniffled, wiping my eyes with my sleeve.

"You can come to my house, my mom won't think twice about letting you stay once I tell your story." Tony said soothingly, putting me at rest.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive, now lets get there before it gets too dark to see." He said looking up and getting up from the bench.

--------------------------------------------

Tony and I walked up to a huge, black stone house. It looked very warm and inviting, calling my name for me to come in. He went and knocked on the door, as I watched the door swing open, I saw a plump cheeky small women standing there, biggest smile i've ever seen.

"Tony baby!" She said hugging the life out of him.

"Hey mamma." He said laughing, pulling away from her massive hug.

"And who's this?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows at him.

"This is Alyssa." He said proudly "Alyssa, this is my mom." He laughed, pointing to the women.

"It's so nice to mee-" My sentence was stopped with her running and hugging me.

"Nice to meet you dear!" She cheered, releasing me.

"Jeez mom, can't I ever bring someone over without you hugging the life out of them?" Tony joked, taking me inside.

"Nope! I just can't help myself!" She laughed, walking over to the stove were she had been cooking. I sat down next to Tony on the couch, considering I was in a tanktop and shorts Tony gave me his grateful dead sweatshirt to slip on, it was cozy and smelled like him.

"So Alyssa, how long are you staying dear?" Tony's mom said standing in front of us and the tv.

"Um.." I looked at Tony and he nodded, taking my question.

"Heres the story mom." Tony started.

When Tony finished the story, his mom looked shocked. She came over and hugged me lightly, but long.

"I'm so sorry dear, I love you even more for believing my Tony! And taking him over your family." She gasped, and looked at me, then Tony. She smirked and we both looked at her confused.

"Are you two dating?!" She squealed, me and Tony looked at each other wide eyed.

"No, mamma we aren't." Tony said, shifting in his seat.

"Well, if you ever do, she's a keeper." She winked and before walking away she said "Your welcome here every night if you must Alyssa, I consider you family."

I blushed at the words she said, me and Tony together? I didn't think he liked me, I just thought we were best friends, and only that? I wanted to be with Tony, but I don't know how he felt.
