"So Dylan already told you about what happened, right?"
I asked them without being surprised.

"Isabella..."
Landon started.

"Please, you can save your bullshit. I know what you're gonna say and I am not in the mood for this."

"It's serious ,Bella."

"It's not serious, Caleb! It's only unfair! You can't forbid me to have a friend!"

"We don't forbid you to have a friend."
Luke said with his usual calm voice.

"And why can't I have a guy friend,hm? Isn't this the same?"
I folded my arms.

"Boys and girls are different."
Landon said while folding his arms,too.

"Boys in your age intend on different things."

"They're not good for you."
Ethan and Grayson spoke up.

"But that's not a reason for you, Dylan, to make such a big deal about this!"

I looked over to Dylan who furrowed his eyebrows.

"Now everyone in school is thinking that I'm being abused by my own brothers! You know, this don't surprise me because of the way you're trea-"

"Enough!"
Landon raised his voice.

"You won't ever meet this boy again, understood?"

"No, I didn't understand! Tell me why!"

"He's no good for you, that's it!"
Dylan slammed his fist onto the table which made me just angrier.

"You're talking like you know him!"
I raised my voice.

"Shut the fuck up already! You won't see him again!"
Carter grunted. I was taken aback at first because he was quite all the time but now.

I was still angry but I knew that I couldn't win against my brothers, so I didn't see any reason to discuss about this any further. But I had to get rid of something.

"You know what, I wish I wasn't born into this broken family. I just can't stand all of you! It would be so much easier for me without you! I wish I died together with mum and dad in the car acc-"

*slap*

I felt my right cheek becoming hot.

I looked up to the person who slapped me.

Landon.

He slapped his own little sister.

I never thought of things getting this far. I never thought of one my brothers to lay their hands on me. It was shocking for me. I was hurting on the inside and outside so bad.

I felt my eyes becoming watery but I didn't want to let them see me crying.
Eventually, I couldn't hold my tears and they started to flow down.

Landon looked also shocked at the action that he did, along with my other brothers.
Even Carter had his mouth open.

"I hate you."
I spat out with my broken voice and ran upstairs.

I heard the twins and Caleb calling for me but I ran into my room and locked the door.

I threw myself into my bed and screamed into my pillow.

My pillow was already drenched in my tears.

I took a frame from the nightstand next to me and wanted to smash it on the ground.

But I couldn't.

It was a family photo together with my brothers and parents. We were smiling so happily. Even Carter who never had a smile on his face after the death of our parents.

There were so many times I wanted to smash this frame because of my brothers, but I never could do it. It was meaningful to me.

I looked at the photo and kept looking at my parents.

"Mum,dad. I miss you."
I whispered to myself through my tears.

I hugged the photo and cried.

I didn't care if my brothers heard me crying. I just let everything out that I held back for such a long time.

After about 15 minutes I felt my eyes starting closing.
_______________
{time skip - 6pm}

I woke up feeling like shit. I already felt my eyes being puffy and this shit.

I still had the frame in my grip, so I put it on the nightstand.

I got up of my bed and went into my bathroom.

I looked into the mirror and saw a broken girl in it.

Me.

"Ugh.."
I sighed while breathing in and out.

"A shower would do good.."
_______________________
After a nice and hot shower, I felt more fresh but still miserable.

I looked at my watch.

Dinner time....

I actually wanted to go out of my room. I still wanted to ignore my brothers tho. I just didn't want to seem weak.

Besides, I'm hungry as hell. I didn't eat anything else than the pancakes and the sandwich.

I unlocked my door and got out. I heard some voices coming from downstairs.

The tension between me and Landon will be really awkward now.

I'll just bring the food upstairs.

I slowly went down the stairs. On the last few steps I heard my brothers talking which made me curious, so I stopped and listened.

"I'll get her."
I heard Caleb saying.

"No, I have to get her. I need to clear the situation between us..."
Now it was Landon who spoke. He sounded guilty.

"Not the right time."
Luke said.

"I can't believe that you actually slapped her, Landon."
Grayson sounded very angry at him.

"You were the one who promised that we'll protect her from any harm. But you broke it!"
Ethan raised his voice.

"It was an accident..."

"Shut the fuck up! If it wasn't you Landon, we wouldn't be in these situations. It's your fucking fault!"
Carter shouted at him. I felt the tension between them getting out of control.

"Watch your mouth,Carter!"
Landon now raised his voice,too. He sounded very angry.

Oh,no

"It's fucking true, you bastard!"

"Shut the fuck up before I make you!"

"Hey, hey, stop it!"
It sounded like Luke stopped them from killing each other.

"I can't deal with your bullshit anymore!"
Carter said and then I heard the front door being closed. Well, more like slammed.

"Arghhh!"
I heard someone groaning and then something being smashed.

Seemed like Landon threw a vase on the floor out of anger.

"I'm out."
He said but Luke and Caleb stopped him.

"We're coming with you."
I heard the front door being closed again.

Time to show myself

I went into the kitchen and, like I expected, only the twins and Dylan were there.

„Bella, how are you?"
Grayson smiled at me worriedly.

I just rolled my eyes and took something to eat out of the fridge.

Eventually, Luke didn't cook.

"I'm heading upstairs."
I said without looking at them. They said nothing after that.

As I reached my room, I locked it again.

That was interesting

What did Carter even meant by everything being Landon's fault?

I'm so sure that they're hiding something from me. I always had this feeling, but I never could make out what they would hide from me. Seemed like they're hiding something big...

*grr* *grr*

My stomach started making noises and I started eating the leftovers from yesterday.

{time skip - 10pm}

I was sitting on my bed, reading a book. The book was called 'roller coaster'. It's about a girl who's life is going up and down like a roller coaster. I really can understand this girl.

I was getting tired, so I put the book away and drifted off to sleep.
________________
"Isn't Carter here yet"

"No"

"Fucking bastard"

I was awoken by some voices. I opened my eyes and looked at my watch.

- 2:45am -

I recognized the voices as my brothers'.

Ughh...

I got up and wanted to tell them to shut their fucking mouths.

I stopped myself from unlocking the door, when I heard them talking about something.
I couldn't really make out everything because they lowered their voices.

"The___is on ___day."

Sounded like Landon.

"We'll do the____stuff."
It's Luke. Or Caleb?

"Un__stood?"

"Yeah."

Seems like I missed out the beginning...

Which day did they even mean? I asked myself.
The conversation ended so I went back to sleep,but in the back of my head I was thinking of,

What are my brothers hiding from me?
