"Tell Leo to be a man and make himself his own food."

"Okay." He says walking off.

I close the door and lock it, getting back into a fighting position. I am about to throw a punch when another knock at the door comes. 

I grind my teeth and inhale heavily before opening the door and hiding my hands. I see all the guys standing there with Rain in front of them.

"Your boyfriends are here." She says sighing with her arms crossed.

"They're not my boyfriends."

"Keep telling yourself that, but for the record, those two are the cute ones." She says pointing to Trever and L.J.

The guys smile at me and I roll my eyes. 

"Can we come in?"

"No," I say standing in the half-opened door with my hands hidden off to the sides.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask not going to step out or let them in.

"Just wanted to say hi." A says.

"So why can't we come in?" Alan asks.

"Cause my rooms a mess."

"Doesn't matter."

"I was sleeping."

"You are fully dressed."

Okay, just hide my hands from them, hide the wraps. Simple, right?

I sigh and quickly move my hands behind me as I open the door.

"Okay, what are you hiding?" Alan asks with a raised eyebrow as they walk in.

"Nothing," I say shrugging my shoulders and keeping my hands behind me.

"What do you even attempt to lie? You are so bad at it." A says smiling.

Well, their gonna find out anyway, no matter what I do. I bring my hands to my face as the black wrap cover's them and soon drop my arms.

"Oh, so you were trying to hide the fact you were practicing punching?" Gray says crossing his arms.

"Yeah, cause otherwise you would taunt me about not actually fighting."

"See you know stuff about us," Trever says.

"Let's see what you're made of then," L.J. says sliding off his jacket and raising his fists.

"I'm not gonna fight you."

"Why? Know your gonna lose?"

"That's not gonna work on me," I say crossing my arms.

"Oh, so your chicken?" A says with a smile

"I'm not gonna fight you," I say shrugging my shoulders as I tap my arm with my finger.

"Yeah, she knows she's gonna lose," Gray says trying to bate me to fight L.J.

"I don't lose," I say confidently.

"Where have I heard that before?" Trever says.

"The last time I won," I say smirking.

"How about this, you win, we have to do something of your choice, and if L.J. wins you have to do something of our choice." Gray offers.

"As appealing as that sounds, I am not gonna fight," I say looking to them.

"We aren't in school, come on." A says.

"Your right, we're in my bedroom full of breakable stuff in a foster home of mine."

"Your parents aren't home," Gray adds

"My siblings are."

"Fair point, we can fight outside," L.J. says.

"What is it with you all and fighting?"

"What is it with you not fighting?" A questions back.

"I have explained this before," I say starting to unravel the wraps on my hands.

They continue to watch me as I unravel my hands.

"Okay, so I know for a fact you don't want to just say 'hi' so what do you all want?"

"So Beth, who's Tori?" A asks.

"Okay, so you came here to question me in person to tell if I was lying or not," I say finishing unwrapping my other hand.

"Yep,"Gray says sitting on my bed.

I sigh and sit in the plastic ball, seat hanging from the ceiling.

"Fine then, you'll never even guess who it is."

They question me which I just give vague answers to till I hear my phone ring. I quickly jump up to grab it but Gray does before I do.

"Unknown number," Gray says answering it.

Gray looks shocked at first but hands it off to me as the person is screaming at me.

I stand up and take it from him and put it up to my ear listening to the constant yelling that doesn't seem to be directed to me till finally, it stops.

"Um, hello?" I question, confused.

"Beth, it's your brother, go make breakfast."

"Be a man and make your own sandwich!" I say quickly hanging up. 

The guys all stare at me with confused and shocked faces.

"Calm down, it's Leo."

"What does he want?"

"For me to make breakfast on the weekend."

The phone rings again and I pick it up.

"I'm starving!"

"Eat your own arm, you'll live!" I say hanging up.

It rings again.

"Leo!" I say to him.

"What? Oh, by the way, could you make breakfast?"

"Your gonna regret this if you don't stop while your ahead."

"Beth!"

I hang up.

"Alright, so you gonna block his number?" Alan says.

"No way, I'm gonna prank call him!" I say with a smile as I sit next to Gray on the bed.

"Never took you one to prank call people," Trever says.

"You should have seen her in foster care, six years old and she found all sorts of ways to mess with peoples head," Alan says chuckling.

"I said some messed up stuff too," I say dialing his phone number and hiding mine.

"You were a messed up kid," Alan says.

"Alright, no matter what he says or I say, not a word," I warn them.

"Got it."

I put it on speaker. It rings for a second or two but he soon picks up.

"Leo, I should have told you sooner, I tested positive," I say with a different voice.

"What? Who is this?"

"This is your girlfriend Leo!"

"Tested positive for what? What happened?"

"I'm in Memorial hospital, I should have told you sooner."

"WHAT!? What happened?!"

"Sorry to tell you like this..."

"TELL ME WHAT?!?!"

The guys all smile at me and I hold my finger up to my lips.

"I'm pregnant, I'm giving birth in an hour, your gonna be a father."

The guys' smile grows and I see them hold in a laugh.

"WHAT!?!?"

"What part of this are you not getting? Your gonna be a dad and I'm dying over here!" I yell at him.

"Hang in there! I'm on my way!" He says hanging up.

The guys all break up into laughter.

"Shush," I say dialing again.

"What are you doing now?"

I hear the front door slam shut and I quickly call him.

"Who is this?"

"LEO ELLIOT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GETTING A GIRL PREGNANT!?!?" I yell at him with an older woman's voice matching Mrs. Elliots.

"Mom?"

"Duh it's your mom, I swear if what she said is true you are going to military school," I say hanging up.

"Oh, your mean!" L.J. says with a grin.

"Brutal," Mason says shaking his head.

"I'm not done," I say dialing him as myself.

He quickly picks up.

"Hey, Leo. You up now? Yeah I bet you are, do me a favor and when you get back from the hospital with your not pregnant girlfriend and with our clueless mom, grab me a bagel, kay? Thanks!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Just saying that when you call your girlfriend and she has no idea what you're talking about, grab me a bagel, alright?"

"You ####### ##### ##### bag! I swear I'll ####### #### ### up! Your gonna regret ever being born you ########################################################!!!"

I drop my phone on my bed as he continues to cuss me out. When he finally finishes I pick back up the phone.

"Love ya to brother. Don't forget about the bagel on your way in." I say calmly hanging up.

"Never in my life have I heard that many swear words in one call," Gray says as I stand up and lock my door.

The front door soon slams, shaking the house.

"You might wanna move your dresser in front of your door and hide." A suggests.

I push the dresser in front of the door and step back.

"That was the best prank I have ever heard," Mason says laughing.

"The mom part was the perfect way to end it too," Gray says smiling.

"I did not think he would actually believe it," I say with a concerned face.

"Then it was a successful prank, why the face?" Trever asks.

Footsteps begin to boom through the house.

"That's why." I say pointing at the door.

The footsteps soon stop at my door. A knock follows.

"Who is it?"

"It's Asher," Asher says through the door.

"Is Leo with you?"

"No."

"Yes, he is!" Rains voice soon follows.

"You shouldn't have kept on calling me, Leo."

"Yeah, and I bet this is so  funny to you." He says mocking me.

"Just a bit," I say crossing my arms.

"You have to come out of that room eventually, and when you do, I'll be waiting." He warns.

I hear him walk away and the guys all look to me as I sit back down on the bed beside Gray.

"At least it was worth it. The worst he could do is prank me back." I say smiling.

"So, now I'm curious, what did you do in foster care at six years old?" Gray asks.

"I don't know, I was being an angry six year old?"

"That's the understatement of the year," Alan says smiling.

"I remember threatening you a lot as a kid and getting into a lot of fights but that's about it."

"Why did you threaten him?"

"So, as a kid, Beth was the scariest person there. A lot of adults didn't want to put up with her. She never followed the rules, sent a kid to the hospital with a broken arm, threatened and beat people up." Alan says looking at me.

"You broke a kids arm?" Mason says shocked.

"Why and how did you even know how to do that at six?" Trever asks.

"He wouldn't stop slapping other kids in the head."

"So glad you have more self-control now," Gray says slapping me upside the head.

I look over to him giving him an evil glare.

"I'm messing with you, calm down." He says putting his arm around my shoulders.

"You like your arm?" I say looking over at him.

"So you do threaten people?" He says pulling me in closer to him.

I grab his arm and pull it off my shoulders, dropping it beside him.

"You said you threatened him a lot? I think I might take that title at this point." Gray says.

"It's actually funny how I and Alan met, he was talking to Willow who I was always protecting because she would get picked on a lot and-"

"She told me that if I ever hurt Willow in any way that I would wake up in a coffin in the Gulf of Mexico," Alan says finishing my sentence.

"Wow, that is a whole lot different from how we met you," Trever says.

"How did you all meet?" Alan asks.

"She was laying on the ground in the fetal position as the others were kicking her and punching her and we stepped in."

"Yeah, scared me half to death too. I'm laying there and a group of guys with a record for beating people show up to beat up people in my defense. I thought I had done something and you all wanted to target me yourself's."

"That seriously what you thought?" Gray says turning to me.

"Pretty much."

"So why didn't you run?" A asks.

"Yeah, like I'm gonna outrun five of the scariest guys in school, plus you surrounded us."

"That seriously how you saw us?" L.J. says raising his eyebrow.

"Pretty much, but here's my question, why did you guys step in? I mean, we have never talked and you guys practically have every girl all over you, so why me?"

"Why you? We were bored and curious." Gray says.

"Alright, you guys can't lie to me. You're just as bad as me at it."

Yeah, I'm lying to see if their lying, I'm actually not sure.

"You're getting better at this, alright, like you had said, we never talked and just about every girl has flirted with at least one of us, except for you. Plus you weren't gonna survive that if we didn't step in over a cheap phone." L.J. says rolling his eyes.

"First, I would have survived, just...not easily and second, what does me never talking or flirting with you guys have to do with anything?"

"Why do you think girls are on us?"

"Cause you supposedly the school 'bad boys.'"

"Alright, so how did you see us?"

"Scary."

"How did you see other people?"

"Scary, ohhhh...I get it now."

"And how do you see us now?"

"Hmmm, leather jacket wearing, motorcycle riding, teddy bears. So how did you guys see me v.s now?"

"Teddybears?" L.J. says.

"Yeah, you guys aren't all that scary, your big softies," I say with a smirk.

"Oh, really?" Gray says almost offended.

"Is that so?" A says crossing his arms.

"What about me?" Alan says putting his hand on his chest.

"You used to be scared of me."

They all look at me.
