The Timbers

Chapter 5

**recap**
Alana is in the hospital, her brothers put the pieces together, vinny confessed about knowing something was wrong, Dillon is blaming himself, they are all really worried.

*Dean POV*

How could our little sister been so broken and hid it so well... Oh god this is terrible.... Dillon has been quiet for a while why does he blame himself so much? I walked over to him and sat next to him and said "dude... Stop blaming yourself you had nothing to do with this, it's not your fault" I told my brother "Dean, I talked to those girls, I smiled when they said how much fun they have with her! I let it happen to her!" He said on the verge of tears "hey! You didn't know! We all thought they were friends of hers remember? You can't blame yourself okay." I told him "I just- I- can't believe that she was so hurt and we couldn't protect her.."

He said when the nurse came out with Alana who looked pale and broken and had bandages wrapped around both her arms, we looked at her and broke more... We all rushed to her, she looks so fragile... My little sister... "Lani!" Said Vinny coming up from his chair... She didn't even look up or smile... "Alana?" Asked Weston "okay can i speak to the guardian?" The nurse asked, Tyler being the oldest stepped up but Dillon also stepped up. The others took Alana who still didn't look up, to the car.

*NO POV*

"Okay what are your relations to the patient?" Dillon said immediately "her brothers" Tyler smiled and then nodded his head "okay have you noticed any passed depression in Alana?" She asked "no... She never shows weakness that's why we were so shocked at her outburst and then finding out about her... Cutting." Tyler said "okay what exactly did she say in her outburst?" The nurse asked "umm we asked what was wrong and she said 'everything, our parents, and school bullies, then she said everyone hated her,' and then she ran to the bathroom which beings us to know." Tyler finished "why did she mention your parents?" The nurse asked again "..."Tyler was about to say when Dillon cut him off "they are always away and never here for her they never come for her birthday only ours and they just cancel on her all the time... But she plays it off like its nothing, they are terrible!" "Okay and the school bullies.. Yea absent parents and bullies are a combination that leads to depression.. Okay so I would hide all sharp things make sure she doesn't have access to them without supervision, and I would keep her out of school for the next week or so and keep an eye on her at school." She finished. They thanked her and then walked out.

*tyler's POV*

We walked to the car and saw some of the boys in the cars vinny was in my car along with my brothers excluding Weston who was in Dillion's car along with his brothers and Alana.

*Austin's POV*

We drove home and Alana got out slowly without a word and still not looking up... "Lani?" I asked still nothing, as soon as Luke opened the door she walked faster in the house and up to her room, Nathan walked in carrying Vinny who fell asleep again. Alana is like my little sister I mean we are cousins but no you know what we are not cousins she is my sister no matter what! I love her so much.

*Max's POV*
I took vinny from Nathan and put him in his room, I walked by Alana's room and I just stayed by her door.. Wait she still has her blades... I walked in her room and she was curled up in a little ball on her bed "Lani?" I asked there was no response "Alana look of you don't want to talk that's okay but you have to listen... Lani we all love you so much and seeing you like this it's just- it's hard cause we've never seen you this way, and we don't want to see you hurt yourself anymore... We are gonna let you stay home from school for the next week-" I was saying when she just hugged me, it caught me by surprise and it didn't take long for me to hug her back.. My little Lani...."
