I waved at my friends as Spencer place his hands on my back while leading me the way to the parking lot.

No one say a word until we reached the parking lot with a tense atmosphere.

"Come on. " I heard Evron ushering me to the car as I went in. Darrel and Evron sat at the front leaving Erman and I at the back.

"What about my car? " Erman asked gruffly as his gaze glares at the car tainted windows. I cringed as I take a peek of his bruised knuckles. Is he hurt? Obviously.

"Stop thinking about your car you idiot. You can get them tomorrow. " Darrel scolded making Erman huffed frustratingly in his seat, beside me.

The Darrel started driving as my cousin's cars are trailing behind ours. I kept glancing at his bruised knuckles, I can't help but to feel bad. I wish they wouldn't do anything that could hurt themselves.

"Stop staring. " he said bluntly as I saw Darrel's eyes looking at us at the rearview mirror. I quickly shifted my gaze somewhere else, apologizing to him quitely on my seat.

"Does it hurt? " I finally asked at him due to my curiosity while his busy looking at his phone.

"Shut up and stop being nosy. " he said, not giving me attention as he keeps scrolling through his phone. I sighed quitely as I take my phone out.

I texted my friends in our group chat that I will explain to them tomorrow honestly. I texted Xile privately as he is like my other brother to me. I asked him about his situation at the moment and thanked him from protecting me a while ago.

We finally reached our destination as I quickly got put of the car, leaving them out as I made my way inside the house.

When I went inside, I saw my other older brothers, cousins and some new people sitting in the living room. They were chatting something but when they saw me, they stopped as Cyry makes his way towards me with a worried look lace through his face.

"What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked multiple questions as I give him my small smile. He ruffled my hair before letting me freshen myself upstairs. I excused myself as I go upstairs.

After freshen up wearing my comfortable clothes, which are my oversized shirt and some sweatpants with my hair just loose, I finally went downstairs with my phone. My phone is like my other life.

I thought the guys in suit already left but I guess they're not. They're still here, talking with my brothers more like they're scolding Erman. His head is gazing the floor more like glaring, poor floor.

When they noticed me looking at them, one of the guy smiled at me which makes me shyly look at him as Cyry ushered me to his side.

I made my way to him before plopping down next to him with Erman beside me making him huffed. I noticed the looks of the guys that are now staring through my sould as if I'm one of the aliens or something.

I shyly leaned more to Cyry's back with my head bury through his shoulder making him chuckle along with the guys like finding me amusing.

"They're your other older cousins baby doll." he said softly while ruffling my hair. I looked at my other cousins as they nodded their heads to me as a smile forms through my lips.

"Hi. " I said timidly as I slightly wave through their directions. Cryry lightly pull me out through his warmth as I'm fully expose to them now.

"Hi Emery, you must didn't recognize me but I'm one of your cousin, the normal one. I'm Tatum and I'm 25. That idiots are my brothers. " he said sweetly while pointing through the 'idiots', Rhett and Trevor. The twins frowned as I laugh a little while giving him my big smile.

"You're all grown up, muffin I'm Iker and this babies are my brothers. " he said with a teasing one while pointing to the babies, Knox, Kash and Cairo making them groan in annoyance.

"Shut up oldie." the twins both snorted as Cairo just rolls his eyes making me laugh at his action.

"I'm Grant amor and I'm 27." he said as he gives me his stiff smile. He should smile more, I gave him my sweet smile as I diverted my eyes on the last guy.

"My name's Beau, 20." he said as he give me his stiff nod as I smile at him in return.

"So you guys are the grandpas. " I said as I shut my mouth immediately with my hands, it slips through my mouth. Oh no.

My other 'younger' cousins laughed at my statement making me go red in my seat. I didn't mean to say it out loud. I looked at them to see them glaring at the sets of twins and back their gazes on my again.

"Peace. " I manage to say as it comes with my peace sign gesture with my both hands. They all looked at with amuse lace through their eyes.

"That's my Cheeky right there. " I heard Rhett laughing while pointing at my direction. I frowned at my pet name.

"That's my Rhetty right there." I mimicked him as he stop laughing and looked at me somewhat happy. His lips twitch upwards showing off that his proud and clap his hands together.

"Oww! That's my nickname tight there! I won!" he shouted loudly while sticking his tongue on them as the others groaned.

"Where's my nickname?" the others whined as Grant usher them to change upstairs. It's only the 'grandpas', Erman and I left in the living room.

Cyry went to the kitchen to cook our dinner for tonight. He always makes us dinner most of the night but sometimes if his busy then Chef Dante would cook and prepare for our dinner. They wouldn't let me cook, they said I'm gonna hurt myself even though I could cook.

"So what happened awhile ago? " Ale asked seriously breaking our silent atmosphere. He was looking at Erman who is still gazing at the floor, feeling probably ashame.

I looked at his knuckles to see it's still not being clean. It might get infected and must hurt a lot. I stood up before going upstairs to grab my first aid kit that is always ready for my room as I always get myself hurt.

I went downstairs to see them scolding him seriously more like Ale. They didn't noticed me as I make my way to them, they looked at me for second before Ale's gaze softened as he look at my kit at my hand.

I sat down next to him as I place my first aid kit to his side but he only look at it as Ale scolded him again.

"Could you be more stupid! What if you got hurt even more? What if you kill someone and you even punched someone in front of your sister! " Ale scolded at him frustratedly as if I'm not here. I sighed at I look at his swollen knuckles.

Erman just sat beside me quietly as looked at my cousins direction for help while pointing at my brother's swollen knuckles using my eyes. They only shakes their head as if telling me not to interfere. My brother is hurt!

"His hurt. " I whimpered out to them while pointing through his knuckles as Ale looked at my direction confuse.

"What? " he stuttered out confuse while looking at me. I pointed my finger on my brother's knuckles.

"His knuckles are swollen and might get infected. Please clean his knuckles first. " I said pleadingly as Erman shift his gaze on me. They looked shock for a moment before Ale nod his head.

My other cousins came down one by one, as they went to sit with us. Tatum gets my first aid kit as he is one of the gentle one among the rest.

He told Erman to wash his hands cleanly before he can apply the ointment. Erman obediently washed his hands before making his way to us again.

He sat beside me as Tatum starts applying the ointment on him. Erman hissed loudly making me wince as Tatum told him to stay still.

"I thought you're immune to this." Tatum said frustratedly as he stop applying the ointment for a second to look at him.

"You're applying the ointment roughly. " Erman said with his hard gaze on him.

"Erman surely loves to fight and he is used to apply it by himself." his twin, Evron said as his shrugging his shoulders. This statement makes me feel bad for him, I guess he got no one to clean it for him.

"Let me." I said quietly as I politely ask for the first aid kit. Erman looked at me to something I can't comprehend but I just ignore him and start applying the ointment on him.

He hissed a little as I apologize quickly making me apply the ointment carefully and gently on him.

Sometimes Keiden got home badly bruised and I always watched mom applying the ointment for him gently. I didn't see my brothers got into a fight in personal though.

After applying it to him, what he said shock as all. This makes us widen our eyes.

"Thanks. " Erman said quietly making the others gasp dramatically specially the younger twins.

"Alright kiddos it's time to eat! " I heard Cyry shouted through the kitchen.

The sets of twins and I races through the dining room as we sat there immediately.

"I won! " I Kash said proudly as we disagree with him.

"No I won!" I shouted back as I place my hands on my hips.

"No Cheeky, I won!" Rhett snorted as he tease me by my pet name.

We started childishly argue while glaring through each other.

"Alright kids stop with that, we're at the table. " Cyry stopped us with our childish antics as we huffed.

"Children. " I heard Darrel mumble as he shakes his head on us.
