The Maxwell's

Animal

Joshua's Pov

Marco and Xander have been arguing for the past 30 minutes and sitting here in silence isn't getting any easier for me. I then heard screaming from the outside hallways and it sounded just like Montgomery's. I ran out the door to see him being dragged away by 3 guards. He was being dragged down this dark hallway and I ran past Marco after him. I ended up tackling one of the guards on the ground.

"Joshua!" Marco's voice boomed down the hallway as he ran towards me. I was tased by the guard causing me to scream in pain. Marco afterwards yanked me to my feet dragging me back to his office.

"No!" I screamed as they continued dragging him. They were going to kill him. I squirmed in his grip but I was still feeling the affects of being tased.

"Joshua you need to stop!" Marco said holding me up against the wall forcefully. I groaned in exhaustion and frustration. I just slammed my fists on his chest as he pulled me into a hug.

"You can't kill him.. Marco I'm tired." I whined slamming on his chest again. To say I was completely exhausted was an understatement.

"Xander shouldn't have brought you here primo its too much for you too fast." He said as he rubbed his hand up and down my back. My body was pretty much limp in his arms.

"I need to check you out when we get back to the house. That tase seemed to take a lot out of you primo." He said slinging me over his shoulder and carrying me out to the car. The drive home was silent because there was really nothing that needed to be said after that whole interaction. He pretty much just died right infant of my eyes and I could never get that back.

I don't know what this whole plan was going to accomplish all I know is that its going to turn me into a coldhearted animal that cares about nobody or anything. We pulled into the driveway and Marco helped me out of the car and into his medical office in the house. He checked my vitals and made sure everything was okay. I ended up falling asleep on the examination table because I just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

All I remember is Marco's buff arms carrying me upstairs to my room where I slept soundly in my bed.

Waking up the next morning was brutal, I went to the bathroom to take a hot shower trying to forget the gruesome details of last nights events. Looking at my body in the mirror I turned to the side to see a welt forming from the impact of the taser. I just rolled my eyes and stepped into the shower carefully. After the shower I changed into some clothes for school.

I trudged downstairs and into the kitchen were Bellamy ,Xander ,Blake and Marco sat. I sat next to Blake, ignoring all the good mornings from my other cousins. I wasn't having it today, I just needed a day of complete silence. Blake drove him Bellamy and I to school and I walked in with Blake per usual.

There was this girl who was friends with Celia and Grace who made her way into the friend group. Her name was Ivy Grace, she looked like your typical dirty blonde girl but she really wasn't. She was short but had blue eyes unlike my grey ones and was very out going to people like me who didn't like people like her. I liked her she was different than the others and it seemed like she understood me more than anyone else did.

I walked away from the group making my way to my locker and Ivy apparently followed me because I was snapped out of my thoughts.

"Hey you alright?" She asked calmly placing her hand on the small of my back. I looked back to her and nodded slowly. I don't like letting my emotions out infront of people because it shows Im vulnerable and vulnerability it weakness. She just nodded her head and walked off. Ivy, Grace and Celia were all coming over to the Sanchez residence after school for a little party I guess. I didn't want to party at all right now but Blake said I had no choice and I needed to let loose.

First two periods flew by really fast and it was now lunch. Lunch was the best part of the day per usual because when you surround yourself with good people you tend to enjoy yourself. We then had to go to our last two periods which I hung out with Law. Law is a blonde haired boy with icey blue eyes and he's wicked tall. Much taller than everyone else at this school, he kinda towers over me.

The end of the day bell rang and I met Blake in the parking lot. He was driving himself,Grace, Ivey and I back to the house. I was somewhat silent the whole ride while the three of them talked.

We pulled in and made our way to the somewhat normal part of the Sanchez basement. The cells are in a whole different sector so the girls would really never know they ever existed. We drank a lot during the party and I got to know the girls better than I did which was nice. I kind of felt as if I finally belonged somewhere and it was a really nice feeling.
