As soon as we walked through the door I threw my bag on the floor in anger. I wanted this day to be over so bad. Why did I have to explain everything, I want to go to bed.

"Hey get your arse down stairs now!" Issac shouted as I legged it up the stairs. I ignored him and carried on to my room. "I'll take Netflix of you." He shouted again this time less sharp and more friendly.

I turned round and headed down the stairs like a sloth; slow, and slumped. I threw myself in the corner of the couch and brought my knees up as I tightly hugged them, burying my head.

"Spill" Issac said sharply, I felt his dagger eyes pointing towards my head. I stayed quiet, I had no idea how I was supposed to start this conversation. "You made me pick you up interrupting my football, so Spill." He exaggerated his last word trying to scare me a little and it worked.

I heard 2 pairs of footsteps descending down the stairs, I already knew who it was.

"What are you doing home?" Corey asked entering the living room, Caleb closely behind. I still stayed quite and i now had all 3 of them glaring  curiously and angry. I took a deep breathing preparing myself for what was going to come.

"I got into a fight." I mumbled , so quietly I don't think any of them heard me. My head still tucked into my knees.

"Spit.it.out." Issac said while sitting forward from the couch.

I took another breath and lifted my head. "I got into a fight." I said it quietly still but much clearer and they all heard.

Caleb walked towards me grabbing my chin to look at my face. "So that explains the bruise on your cheek." I nodded and continued to stay quite while they all looked at each other. I couldn't tell if they were angry or shocked- I think they were both.

"Elaborate" Issac spoke not even looking at me anymore.

"I went to take my tray after I had finished eating, and I bumped into Jess who threw Leos blue hoodie at me and it was covered in glitter. We all know how much I love that hoodie." They all nodded in unison. "Anyways she said she used Leo for sex, then she called me a bigger piece of shit than herself, then I came back with an amazing insult, then she said something, then I punched her and broke her nose during the fight." I let out a breath glad that I had go it over with. I switch my eye focus on all 3 of the continuously trying to read their expressions.

"What did she say?" Issac sprang from his seat now towering over me which made him look even more intimidating than he already was. I started biting the skin around my nails, I was so nervous. Corey came and sat next to me and he slung his arm around me.

"Just fucking tell us Riley!" Issac was getting really angry, I could see him clenching his fists and running his hands through his long brunette hair. "If you don't tell me right now i'll-"

" -She said Mum deserved to die." I spoke quick and then I scrunched my eyes closed tight. I didn't want to see the hurt and anger that I knew would be sprawled across their faces. I felt the muscles in Corey's arms clench and I started shaking when he moved away from me walking away.

The backdoor flung open and I quickly pulled my head up to see Leo. Toby and Liam. I put my head back down on my knees as I felt a tear slip from my eye. I felt someone bring me into a hug I had no idea which one of my brothers it was. I whispered "Don't let them see me cry."

I felt arms hold me closer and hands stroke my head. "Its okay." from the voice I knew it was Leo.

.........................................................................................

I had gone back to my room when Issac got a call from the head teacher asking him to go in school tomorrow to talk. He was at work so Jacob would have to go instead. Leo came upstairs with me because he was the only one who knew I was crying, he had been sitting with me for over an hour trying to distract me from everything. I still hadn't told him what Jess said and i wanted to avoid that conversation at all costs.
He pulled out a game of guess who from under my bed that I never knew I had. Leo blew the dust of it and opened it up.

After a short while of playing guess who Leo was getting his ass kicked, god knows how.

"Is yours a whale?" He asked with lowered eyebrows and a grin on his face.

"No, is yours a whale?" I copied his expression letting out a giggle.

"Aw darn it " He looked disappointed, for the last 5 rounds I've guessed his animal within 5 questions.

"You suck at guess who." I said before throwing myself on my bed amongst the 8 pillows and many teddies. I grabbed the pillow from under my head and threw it at him.

He didn't respond, he just came and sat next to me on my bed. We sat in silence for a while before he opened his mouth and spoke.

"You said you'd tell me what Jess said." He ran his hands through his hair looking down. I sat up and grabbed a pillow to put on my lap, I crossed my legs and looked at him. I really didn't want to tell him, not after how he reacted yesterday to the break up.

"Promise you won't get angry?" I said holding my pinkie finger towards him making him look up.

"I can't promise that, I saw how all of them looked when I walked in. I've never seen them that mad before, even Caleb and Corey were furious and they rarely get angry."

"Well can u not get angry here please." I said looking down towards my hands. He nodded and his eyes were agitated and I could already tell he was going to go mental. I gulped hard. "She said" i hesitated to tell him but his glaring eyes forced me to tell him. "...mum deserved to die."

He punched the down on the mattress hard, then got up and kicked the wall, he grabbed his face and then marched out of the room.

"Where are you going." I ran after his large steps managing to catch him at the door while he was putting his shoes on. Jacob walked through the door as Leo went to open it. He shoved past Jacob heading towards his car. "Leo stop!" I ran out after him with no shoes on, Jacob not far behind me. I grabbed Leos arm trying to get him to face me. He turned round and i could almost feel the fury radiating from his eyes.

"Please" I looked up to him but he shoved me of hard and continued to his car.

"Go inside, i'll deal with him." Jacob turned to me and I did as he said running inside.

I got inside and slammed the door shut, I was unsure of my feelings and I was confused. I decided not to think about it to much because I overthink way too much. I slid down the door and sat down bringing my hands to my face then running them through my hair.

I rummaged through my bag that I had previously thrown and pulled out Leos hoodie. I walked to the kitchen to put it in the wash and Liam was stood there staring at his phone. I didn't feel like talking to anyone so I kept my mouth shut and proceeded to put the washing powder in the washing machine. I stood up and started to head for the door until I was interrupted by Liam's voice.

"Hey are you okay, you can talk to me u know." He looked up from his phone his eyes now on me.

"I'm fine and I know thank you." I shot him a smile and then went to the fridge to grab some orange juice. I opened the cupboard and realised there were not glasses left apart from one at the very top. Liam watched me struggle as I tried to reach it and he laughed at me. "Can you help please." He walked over and grabbed the glass with ease. I lived in a house with Giants and I felt small even though in school I was the tallest girl.

I grabbed my glass of orange juice and headed to the living room to occupy the tv seen as no one else had. Liam sprinted past grabbed the tv remotes and jumped over the back of the couch.

"Hey I was gonna watch tv." I moaned setting my orange juice down on the coffee table.

"Be quicker next time then." He smirked at me making me smile a little. I sat down next to him, and I waited for him to pick something to watch so he'd put the remoted down. He placed them beside him after picking some random series on Netflix. I grabbed the remoted quickly and getting his attention.

"Nah ah, not happening." he said shaking his head.

"Yeah eh, there mine now you should've been quicker." I replied smiling because I was proud for getting the remotes from him.

"okay then you asked for it." He lunged towards me in attempt to get the remotes, I held them behind me stretching my arms outwards so he couldn't get them. I held him back with my foot until someone came and nabbed the remoted out of my hand and it wasn't Liam.

"Tobyyyyy." Me and Liam wined while he had the biggest grin plastered on his face. he sat in between us both and put on something even worse than Liam had put on.

Liam and I sat there with our arms crossed both furious that we didn't get the watch tv. We were both grumpy and annoyed at Toby without a doubt.
