Chapter 8
(Z’s POV)
I don’t know how Mars does it, I mean she deals with all of us and has these major mood changes but still can deal with toddler Foxy. Like literally hes running around the house refusing to sleep again. Its 3:00 in the dang morning!! I dont have time for this but Nooo Marissa had to go on ANOTHER midnight walk with her BoYFriEnD. So this leaves me here to deal with him making a ruckus. Tyler and Stormy went to grab food, and Jaden is like dead asleep on the couch, how is he not waking up?! You know what, ima make him help me!
“JADEN WAKE YOUR LAZY BUTT UP MAN!” I yell in his ear obviously irratated.
“F-five more hours mann~” He says still asleep. So i decided to resort to the only other thing I know.
“Oh dang, Stormy looks good in that bikini~!” Jaden shot up like a rocket looking around frantically.
“Don’t look at my Wolfy!!” He yells until he realized she was not there. He looks at me annoyed, “You just HAD to do that huh? What do you want Z-mon” He says rolling his eyes. I laughed at the Z-mon thing, it was funny for it sounded my demon but its whatever, quite clever for a dude who just woke up.
“Come help me with the Fox!” I say just as Foxy jumped over the upstairs rails and runs out the dang door. How worse can this night get? Now he’s out there 3:00 in the morning just running! I feel like banging my head on the wall over this. When I catch him he’s so in trouble I swear. Jaden bursts out laughing as he gets up getting his coat on. “Okay lets go get him before he gets to the ice cream shop”
We run out the door, he was already half down the freaking street, there was no way we could just catch him normally, he was way too fast for all of us. We were all yelling after him to get back to the house but nooo this is when he wants to not listen to us. I swear when I catch him he is never playing games again. I see Mars and Fell walking back and yell at them.
“MARS FOXY IS LOOSE I NEED HELP!”
“Seriously? He ran out of the house?! He never does that!” She says turning around and running with us.
“I know right! All I want his for that- BOY to sleep!!”
“We all do, he pulls too many all-nighters. Now come on before he gets too far!” Stormy says coming up behind us with Tyler and with fo- Wait! Perfect plan!.
“Stormy, what kind of food did you and Tyler get?!” Jaden asks obviously on the same page as me.
“U-uh Pizza and other crap, I don't know Tyler got the rest.”
“Perfect! Someone call Foxy’s phone!” I yell to everyone, Marissa whips our her phone and dials Foxy’s number, we could hear it ring and he answered.
“Hewo?” He says in the cutest voice ever, I swear.
“Foxy get home now, we have pizza!” We heard a gasp through the phone and heard a new voice come across the phone.
“Hello kids, this is Dylan.”
“We dont know you, what have you done with my Baby Fox?!” I yell as I grab her phone.
“Who is this?” Dylan asks
“Z, Z Karlson.”
“Well, hello baby.” Dylan says, I clench the phone harder, there is no way this prick could be my brother. For all I know i’m a freaking orphan.
“I dont know you, dont call me that and now let my baby go.” I say through gritted teeth. I hate when people take whats mine and this is not an exception. I want my baby back but I dont even know where he could be.
“Aww~ Come one hun, after all we’ve been through you don’t remember me?” Dylan responds with a little bit on whine in his voice. I roll my eyes, “Z come on, stop joking with me! Its Dylan!” He begs me to remember some more his voice getting sadder as he continues. I dont remember having an ex but ive forgotten most my past before meeting Baby Fox. Marissa grabs her phone back putting it on speaker,
“Hello whacko bozo who just stole our kid, we kinda need him back for dinner so if you could let him go it would be nice, but if you dont…I think you’ll regret it, cause we will find you.” She says her voice is getting a little distorted. It was a bit creepy but hopefully it would work.
“No! All I want is my baby! So i guess we both want something we cant have!” Dylan yells into the phone. I could tell he was partially crying. Was he really this sad over me? What happened between us that he wants me this bad?
“Dylan, I really dont know you, I dont remember much from before i met the boy you have, but I do realize i mustve been important to you. Just please let him go and then we can talk!” I say trying to reason with him, it was silence on the phone for a bit till I hear Foxy again on the phone.
“Z! Thank you! I hate being tied up but he did like a really crappy job of it all! He agreed to meet up, to be honest babe, he kinda ugly, dont know why you dated him!” Foxy just kept talking and all I could do is laugh when I heard a ‘HEY’ on the other side of the phone from Dylan cause Foxy insulted him so bad. Soon we saw Foxy sprinting back to us with this guy walking a ways behind him. He was actually okay looking. The tears on his eyes were kinda visible, when he saw me he had the biggest smile on his face. He ran at me but Foxy blocked his way tripping him, Dylan fell and slid head first. Foxy snarled at him as he hugs me baring his fangs at Dylan.
“W-woah!! What even is he?!” Dylan asks obviously surprised by Foxy’s appearance and snarling.
“Mine.” Foxy snarled at him, god he gets jealous too easily, its so cute I swear.
“You dont need to know..” I say kissing Foxy’s forehead and telling Marissa to take him home and feed him. Its 4 in the morning man, this is too much to f-in deal with.
“Now talk Dylan, its really early.”
“W-well, when we were in school he dated for a while, but you kinda got into this fight that put you in the hospital. They said you lost most your memories and by then your parents were gone. You lived with me mostly, I asked my parents to pay for the hospital bill but they said no. You fell into a coma, I waited by your bedside for many days and nights hoping you would wake up but nothing happened. Soon my parents decided that we should move. I begged them not to but they wouldnt change their mind. The hospital called me months later to tell me that you had woken up and I begged to go see you but my parents once more said no, that being this way was a sin.” He said this tears forming in his eyes, “When i finally did come up here I saw you already had someone else, that carrot top kid. I vowed from the first day that i learned you lost your memories to make you love me again like you did when you did remember me, but I see that it isnt possible. Could we just be friends.” When he finished, all I could do was stand there in complete silence. I was in shock of all this, I of course dont remember any of it, but if it was true then I technically was still with Dylan for we never broke up, I just forgot about him. “C-could I possibly have a hug?” He asks shyly. How could I turn down something like that, he obviously needs it after all he’s been through. He wraps his arms around me and it somehow felt…familiar. I hugged him back and lightly kissed his forehead to comfort him. He lets go and smiles up at me, there was no words left to be said, he was at peace now. I thought we were fine till he kisses me. I didny know what to do, it was a shock to me, do i just accept it? I gently kiss him back and pull away.
“You know I love someone else Dylan, I know you want me back but its better if were just friends for now.” I say patting his head, I start walking back to Foxy’s when i got the feeling of someone following me, I turn around and there Dylan is right behind me, “Need somethin kid?”
“Can I just spend the night with y’all?”
“I guess, you’ll have to ask my boyfriend.”
“Okie!!” He says jumping up and down. I swear he acts like Foxy sometimes. As we walk back to the house Foxy was outside waiting for us. He looked at me a little hostile and literally glared evilly at Dylan. I grab Foxy’s hand and pull him out of earshot of everyone.
“Baby, whats wrong?”
“I smell him on you…” Foxy says angrily, “Why do I smell that prick on you?!” He yells.
“Foxy, calm down baby, he needed a hug.”
“Dont call me that, not right now Z! His scent is ALL OVER YOU!”
“Foxy! He needed it, I really don’t feel like fighting when I just found out I lost most my memories as a kid!”
“Z…Do you still love him?” Foxy asks looking up as tears stream gently down his face, did he really think I would leave him for someone I technically just met?
“Baby Fox, dont cry,” I say wiping his tears with my hand, “I would never leave you for him. Your the most precious thing to me.” I say kissing him gently. He stops crying and hugs me. Dylan walks in and asks Foxy if he could spend the night, Foxy reluctantly says sure and shows him to the spare room on the second floor. Everyone finally went to bed after eating our really early morning pizza. Everything was, just calm. I liked it, we finally felt at peace. Sure, I mean we had school tomorrow and some of us had to be enrolled first, but I bet its going to be pretty fun!
We wake up about two hours later to get ready for school, we all get dressed and I send Dylan on his way back home. I mean sure it was good learning about my past with him and seeing him, but he was getting in the way of our relationship. We start our mile walk to the highschool, sure I may be twenty but I go just to keep Foxy and them company. When we reach the school we go to the office to enroll Tyler, and Stormy. It was quite easy to be honest, the one problem was the parent thing. Good thing Stormy came prepared and forged a letter from their so called ‘parents’. Once enrolled we showed them around the school telling them the funny stories attached to the places around the school. We showed them their teachers and their locker which ironically was right next to all of ours. All our lockers were in a row, so on the way to our classes we could talk some. Tyler had some classes with me so I walked with him to it, “So Z, can I ask you a question”
“Sure Ty, whats up man?” I say as I walk into the classroom.
“U-um, well my boyfriend is going to come here soon, actually today during school. I-im nervous what do I do?” He says fidgeting with his hair kind of blushing.
“Well, if its during school we can help you sneak out.” I say winking at him. A smile spreads across his face quickly and he mouths a thank you as class begins.
