The Babysitter

Chapter 21: (Aubrey's POV)- I Said It!

"It's really not that hard to believe, will you stop yelling?" Xavier groaned rubbing his temples while his dad yelled at him continuously.

"Do not talk to me like that, Xavier!" he shouted.

I think I was going deaf all the way from here, I can't imagine Xavier.

"What do you want me to do?" Xavier asked him, boredom gracing his face.

"What the hell did you do to get on house arrest?" he questioned.

Xavier rolled his eyes before replying, "I stole a cop's gun to distract him because he caught me breaking and entering into the school to vandalize and damage property. Got it? Or do I have to repeat myself?" he didn't hesitate to show attitude.

Something was gnawing at me inside and I couldn't put my finger on it, I just had a bad feeling.

"Do not give me that attitude, Xavier! Talk respectfully!" Will demanded.

Xavier groaned. "I really don't give a shit as to what you're saying. Get the fuck out of my fucking room," Xavier spat, emphasizing the words he swore out.

What I saw next, shook me to my core. I saw Will raising his hand, and slapping Xavier right across the face. Slapping. He hit him. Oh my god. My hand flew to my mouth to cover and trap the gasp that escaped from it.

I leaned my head against the wall and sealed my eyes shut tightly. I was shit scared right now. Not from Will, but for Xavier. Is he okay? Was he going to be okay? Was he hurt? Is Will going to do anything worse?

"You're a disappointment to my blood! I'm glad it's your mother's name you have!" Will screamed before I heard a door swing open and slam shut followed by muffled footsteps. I stayed rooted to my spot, frozen.

I couldn't move. I just couldn't do it. I felt tears stinging my eyes but I didn't know why.

He hit him.

I'm no lawyer but I swear that's child abuse! Xavier is a minor! This can't be right! And Xavier didn't fight back, that can only mean that it's happened before. Has it? Could that be why he hates him so deeply?

Three minutes.

Three minutes went by and I was still rooted to my spot. Xavier hadn't come to get me out I wasn't even sure if he was still in the room since I can't remember if he left or not, the last ten minutes are a blur to me.

I finally gathered the courage to look through the blinds. There I saw Xavier, now sitting at the foot of the bed, with his head in his hands.

I whispered. Nope. No response. Nothing. "Xavier," I spoke a little louder, grabbing onto his arm but still, nothing. I let out a sigh before standing in front of him, pushing his arms out of his face, and tilting his chin up, forcing him to look at me. "Parker," I said.
