“Is he here yet?” I ask with a huge grin, pulling Mommy’s hand and bouncing some more.
Ugh, her excitement! I love it!
A boy walks towards us with a plastic bag—
He’s taller than me, with black hair and the bluest eyes—like the color of my favorite doll’s hair.
Daddy huffs. “Are you sure about this? Have you considered his report?”
Fuck you James
He just stares at me, lifting his hand to the back of his neck then messing up his curly black hair.
It will be my first birthday with them, and I can’t wait to get my first ever present.
I'm a Malachi girlie, apologist, etc but I always forget how sad both him and Olivia had it 😪
The boy lowers his head and circles his fist against his chest.
Aww, he’s just a baby !!
“He’s saying he’s sorry, sweetie,” Mommy whispers to me.
“He communicates with sign...

Love your enthusiasm Queen!
All he does is smirk, then he reaches for a strand of my hair, rubbing it between his fingers.
Even as a kid he has moves.
Mine.
She’s been teaching me for the last two weeks, and I asked if she could show me how to do that song, so I can play it for Malachi.
So devoted
He’s twelve today, but he doesn’t want a party or to go for a family day out. If anything, he seems sad. My hugs usually make him feel better, or when I lie next to him in bed and we watch movies, but he said no when I asked earlier.
☹️
I’ll try to coax him or trick him into talking, which only makes him mad—
You'd make me mad too!
My friends think he’s weird for not talking and laugh when he signs to me, but I tell them to shut up.
yeah stand up for my boy!
I’m your brother, so I’m allowed.
I don't think that's how it works, Malachi. lol.
Over the last year, Malachi has changed from a boy to a young man. For seventeen, he looks twenty with a chiseled jaw, long lashes, and bright, diamond-like blue eyes. He has muscles that are starting to become noticeable through his clothes, and he loves to run. He once signed to me that it helps clear his head.
I just knew he would be handsome.
All my friends want to kiss him. He’s the quiet, mysterious Malachi Vize that everyone wants a piece of. It sickens me—especially when they go into detail in the group chat about things I’d rather not read.
HA! Me too!
he grabs my hair and pulls my head back. Taking my cheek with his other hand, he swipes the sticky lip gloss across my mouth with his thumb.
Shooketh
What’s happening?
something thats frowned upon
Malachi looks offended as we walk out of the store he just bought his arachnid from.
LOL. Hit her with the “what I do?”
Stop being scared.
Tell her Malachi
he’d blow up my phone with messages, because obviously he can’t call, since he still doesn’t talk.
Leave his voice alone.
I love him, I really do, but I have strange thoughts about him sometimes.
You don't say ?
dare I say—handsome?
Unt-uh don’t go there!
A voice in the back of my head is yelling at me to grab the chips and leave,
Listen!
He slams Adam’s head into the wall with enough force that I cringe at the cracking sound.
Told you not to go there.
he turns to me, grabs my jaw, and signs, No.
Yes sir
He drives us home, and I sit in silence, occasionally glancing at his right hand, the one he just used to assault Adam. Shaking, he grips the steering wheel, and I gulp at the bulging veins in his arms, feeling a sensation between my legs that definitely shouldn’t be there.
Sick
Why are my panties soaked? Sick. Sick, sick, sick. And shameful.
My thoughts exactly
Then scream.
Shooketh again
I will kill anyone who touches you.
I believe him!
“I promise you, Mom, if Malachi goes, I will leave with him.”
“I am my brothers keeper”
We raised him, we put clothes on his back, and filled his stomach with food. We already did our job. He’s grown up now and will not bring shame to this family.”
Oh, fuck you mom.
He’s a weapon.”
How disgusting. And you claim to love him?!
he might not feel the same way about me.
You went too far
He’s possessive of me because I’m his sister, not because he wants to fuck me into next week.
Yeeaaahhh…thats right
I will never walk away from him.
Liar
the combination sends a shiver through me,
Me too
I’m starting to realize that I might have a crush on Malachi—
The feeling is mutual
Oh God.
Oh, god indeed!
Maybe I’m the one who needs to see a therapist?
I mean he’s not your real brother lol
“I’m your sister,”
No you’re not
He closes his eyes and raises his hips a little, making our hands rub against himself while he curls my fingers around him again and rocks his hips once more.
Oh god
As much as I want to touch him, to please him, I remind myself that it’s forbidden,
Not forbidden, just taboo.
Don’t grind your ass on my cock and I won’t accept the invitation.
You’re mine.
YES
Is that bad? That I touched my brother while he slept?
Yes
Malachi: Hold my hand.
Yes sir
