Inside the newly opened Muay Thai dojo were merely two people. One was a young woman that had an oriental appearance, while the other was a kid with freckles and braces. He had the stereotypical appearance of a nerd and wore glasses, was skinny, and was also quite short, appearing to be a few years younger than Xavier, while the woman appeared to be of a similar age to Angela. Entering, even Connor laughed at the sight, and the inside of the dojo was quite spacious and covered in soft floor mats. There…-

At first, upon picking the triplets up, they were very calm and well-behaved, while they were also clearly very intelligent. "Big bro has actually got a friend?" "Yeah, I'm your brother's friend, Xavier," he said to them with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Xavier," the three of them said as they took turns shaking his hand. They all had neatly combed long black hair and even as identical triplets, it was almost impossible to tell them apart. Wearing the same clothes and accessories, and acting the same,…

"Son... I'm sorry..." my mother suddenly blurted out after we had come to an agreement. "Life is what it is and you haven't done anything wrong..." I said to her, but she shook her head. "I'm not talking about that... The truth is, I stopped taking my meds," she revealed. 'No wonder she has been even more unstable and emotional than usual. But it's not too bad,' I thought to myself as I gave her a smile. "You are doing just fine without them, but if you feel like you need them, be sure to take them.…

"Xavier..." "Yes?" "We just need to make things as clear as possible. You keep telling me to just calm down and rely on you, but just like my old friends told me, I am useless and always have been." Taking a deep breath, just as I was about to reassure her, she suddenly flipped out. "You're 17 years old, for God's sake! It doesn't matter how responsible and mature you are, what kind of mother would I be to let you provide for me?" "I was so proud of you when you were getting good grades in that high…

"Go back to work and act as though nothing had happened. If those guys mess with you, just call me. But you should start defending yourself and never allow your pride to be stepped on. I will give you a call when I have established the gang and we will begin working together," I instructed Connor as I put my hand out. Shaking his hand that had completely engulfed mine, he had a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head before walking in the direction of the construction site. "One down. Two more to…

From what he told me, both his parents were dead and his father died when he was in college. He had only gotten into college through a scholarship and because of his extraordinary potential and capability in American Football, but he quit to look after and provide for his three younger sisters. It was clear that he loved them more than anything and quickly found a job on a construction site that he found he was very good at. Just like those men said, he truly could do the job of 5 men, and for the price…

On my way back home, I headed to the nearby park that I would usually exercise in, and it was empty and peaceful. The birds were tweeting and singing their morning praises, and there was a nice cool breeze that ruffled my hair as I sat on a bench and enjoyed the scenery. It was quite damp after the heavy rain there had been and it was quite chilly, especially since I was only in a t-shirt, but I still sat there for around an hour. I was almost meditating as I focused on my breathing and emptied my mind…

"Can you two please talk somewhere else? I'm trying to sleep here," I interrupted, having enough of hearing them talk about my past. It was hard for me not to show that I had heard their conversation and I had my fists clenched tightly as I was struck with flashback after flashback of memories that I had suppressed and tried to forget. They both apologised briefly before heading to their rooms, seeing as though it was getting late, but they were both worried about the same thing. "Do you think he heard…

After they cleaned up, Angela and Bella were sitting beside each other on the kitchen counter, while Xavier had fallen asleep on the couch. He was tired after the running he had done and sleeping was the best thing he could do to rest. Lightly snoring, Xavier was deeply asleep in a matter of minutes, but despite being asleep, he also felt on edge. His concept of time was hazy just like it would normally be when one was asleep, but he felt as though he could feel danger and still hear everything around…

Opening the bathroom door just enough for him to be able to stick his arm out of it, Xavier felt around on the ground outside the bathroom and grabbed the clothes that Angela had left there for him. He was expecting the worst, but upon seeing the clothes she had bought for him, he was relieved. There was a grey set of jogging bottoms and a plain black t-shirt, along with some underwear and socks. It all fit perfectly and highlighted his physique, while was also breathable and comfortable. Putting it…
