Prologue

It's cold. EVERYTHING was so cold. My small body, shivering. Freezing, breaking..... Click...Click...Click... I felt my eyes open. Blurred with tears. The cold air stopped. Then I heard him. The man who was called my brother. "It's okay." I heard his voice gently brush against my ear, as a jacket suddenly fell onto my shoulders. His jacket. Coated in blood... Coated in the blood I spilled-

[Note: Yes, hello. Uh, yeah quick warning this book does have incest, but it doesn't go on for the whole book. Please be aware of this as you read, thank you.


I jolted up in bed, seeing my brother smiling at me nervously. "You okay Z?" He murmured, patting my head. My brother always had such nice, hazel eyes... The ones I didn't have. "Yeah." I smiled, I was the age of 9... still so young at least when it happened. "Come on, dad wants us." I nodded. Getting up, I grabbed a plain white shirt, and black pants, putting on some shoes, I got up and gripped my brothers hand tightly, frowning. Wondering what my father wanted this time. I felt my brothers frown. Felt it slowly seep into my skin. "Alright." He sighed and began to walk. I followed suit, still holding his hand. He opened the door and stepped out.

There was arguing downstairs. I felt him tense. "Rey?" I looked up at him. He was gritting his teeth, scowling with rage. "Come on Z. Let's get the hell out of here." He tugged me downstairs and to the front door. "Reymond! Get the fuck over here!" My father snared, and I flinched. "Fuck you!" He snapped back, slamming the door open. Unlocking his car hurriedly, I ran to the back seat, climbing inside, and putting my seatbelt on. Rushedly, he climbed into the driver's seat, shoved the key in the ignition, and reversed. My father ran out, throwing a string of curse words. Rey threw him the middle finger and hit the gas.

We flew down our neighboorhood street, as he took a sharp turn into the freeway. "Rey. Where are we going?" I murmured, and he looked back to me. "I'm going to get custody to take care of you." He put it so simply. "Mom will agree. Dad's a drunk bastard." I frowned and nodded, leaning back and falling asleep. Waking up on a bed. "Morning kid." I jolted up seeing Reymond sitting at the foot of the bed. "Hey." I frowned and moved to get up. Yet he pushed me back onto the bed, my face felt warm. "Just rest kid. I'll be back. I have to go get custody. Sleep. Food's on the table whenever you need it." And that was all. He just walked away out of the room. Yet Z just fell asleep as his brother said...


8 years later...

______________

I woke with a grunt, sitting up, as my back popped from my tense muscles. "Tch." I rubbed my back and looked around my room. If you're wondering. Yes. My brother did get custody of me... He was sleeping across the room. I got up and walked over to him. Frowning at how tired he looked. His dark brown hair covering some of his face. I sighed, moving it away, pecking his temple, and moving to the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror. My smooth jawline. Sharp chin... lips, and light brown hair. My eyes were similar to a mint green on the outer area, but the rest of the iris moved into a very bright, almost neon green color. I grunted and began to remove my clothes that clung to me from sweat, removing my black shirt, I glanced at my six-pack in the mirror, rolling my eyes, and waking to the shower, turning the knobs, and took some steps back, removing my pants, and undergarments. I sighed, stepping into the warm shower.

......

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist, grabbing my dirty clothes and tossing them into the pile of dirty clothes in my basket. I stepping out into Reymond and I's room. Glancing to his bed. I saw he wasn't even there. I frowned. Probably cooking or work. I opened my drawer, seeing Reymond's hoodie he gave to me when I was 10 since I was scared shitless when my father tried to take me away. I remembered his scent, and how comfortable I felt. I rubbed the blush off my face, and put the hoodie on, pulling on some blue undergarments, and some black pants. The hoodie was a dark heather gray. The bottom half was black, and the sleeves were a darker gray, similar to black but not, and the hood was the same color as the base of it. I tugged the sleeves up. Due to the fact it was still a bit bigger than me.

I looked toward the door of the room and stepped out. Then I froze, I looked up. To meet Rey's hazel eyes. He was drenched. His bare chest inches from mine. "Hey, Rey." I smiled, and he gave me a charming smile. " Hey Z. Mind if I step inside...?" I blinked, nodding, and stepping aside. "Did you swim again?" I questioned, and he looked back raising an eyebrow. "Yup." I snickered, a bit amused how he always swam in the morning, even though it was a bit pointless since the water was freezing so early into the day. I guess I haven't explained what Reymond looks like yet, huh.

He has a smooth jawline like mine, an almost flat chin, his lips were average size, he had hazel eyes, dark brown hair, which he constantly slicked back. To me, it was a face that'd make someone swoon, at least. I chuckled. "Whatever." I began to walk out until he said. "Oi. Ezekiel." I blinked when he said my full name, looking over my shoulder. "Yeah...?" He was smiling at me. " Stay out of trouble 'Bud." I nodded and began to walk to the door to grab my bag. Then, I felt something grab my forearm, I spun around, face to face with Rey. "That's not all." My eyes widened, he placed a kiss to my cheek. " Have a good day." Then he turned around and walked back to the room. I gaped.

'He's you're brother Z stop!' I thought and walked back to the door, grabbing my bag and leaving. Soon enough I was walking to school. I glanced at my phone, seeing a string of messages from my brother. ' Stay safe Z. I already put lunch in your bag. When you get home, grab your swimming trunks because we're going to the beach with some of my friends, you can bring some of yours along. We'll be driving with just us two, and my friends will drive yours. Be prepped Lil guy!' I sighed, my clothes feeling a bit too uncomfortable. "Today's gonna be a long day.."
