MALIA POV

The kids we asleep we weren't far from the house which was good. The kids were sleep.

We were in conformable silence until Enzo decided to break it.

"So want to tell me about the twins?" He asked looking at me and then turning his head back to the road. A small smile appeared on my face.

"Well sage likes everything. They both problems when they're angry. Maze is quiet he won't explode unless he angry about something on his mind. I shook off that feeling.

"When he has something on his mind and he can't control it and he'll lash out. To be so young it hurts me to see him like that I don't know what goes on in his mind and for him to be so young it scares me." I finish of looking back at Maze.

"Sage when something's on her mind she don't talk about she just stays to her self until it consumes her and then she lashes out. I try my best to let them have the childhood I wish I had." I finish looking out of the window.

"Your right maybe something happened and they don't want to tell you so they are consumed and not in controlled of their thoughts." Enzo say looking at me.

What he said made sense maybe something did happen and I just don't know.

"What about you?" He asked raising and eyebrow. "What about me I asked confused. "Tell me about your self." He say keeping his eyes on the road. "Well that's not really much to say you know about my past but I will tell you what happen in the past effects my future." I say fiddling with my hands.

"And how so?" He asked looking over at me.

"Well since what happened to me in the past traumatized me I developed to have IED so it might not be surprising on how they have anger issues." I say with a slight chuckle.

"Do you have medicine for that?" He asked. "Yeah but I don't like to take it I feel numb and sometimes I like the numbness but I can't be like that when I have kids who always want to have fun. When I'm with them that's when I want to feel emotion more or so happy at least. So I don't really take it I'm trying to control it with out the meds but I'm afraid that if I don't take it, it will get out of control and I will hurt them." I finish. Me having IED really scares me o don't ever want to hurt them or I'll never forgive my self.

"You can't think like that and it's good that your trying for the kids." He says looking at me.

"Is there anything else about you?" He asked looking over.

"Nope." I lie there's something else but I'm the only one that knows.

The way he looked seem as if he didn't believe me. "I know you don't believe me so all I'm going to say is what my mother did and what I did to my father wasn't the only thing that turned me this way." I say before he pulled up into the drive way.

The kids were asleep so me and Enzo grabbed them and tucked them in and everyone was in the kitchen and living room laughing and talking.

Dinner wasn't ready yet but I decided to wait for the food to be done.

I sat in between Layla and Milan who were watching jumanji.

____________

Dinner was done everyone was seated I went upstairs to get Maze and Sage I go up to hear talking, I took out my blade and put it behind my back and open the door quietly.

I threw my blade as hard as I can I hear a scream that sounds familiar. I opened the door and see Carlos whining like a baby.

"Goddamit Carlos you could've died!" I yelled going up to him. "Kids dinners ready go downstairs." I say they nodded there heads and went down stairs giggling.

"Why did you even do that dumbass!" He yelled holding his arm. "Oh calm down its only a scratch." I say going to the bathroom for a first aid kit. "Not a scratch a knife is impaled into my shoulder." He says snatching the kit from me.

"Stop being dramatic I thought you were someone else." I say snatching it back a budgeting him to take off his shirt. "If you wanted to get in bed with me all you have to do is asked." He says with a smirk. I laugh sarcastically and ripping the blade from his arm. "Damnit Malia!" He hissed.

"Oops." I say grabbing the alcohol. Carlos and I are like siblings but he always flirt with me but I don't mind it we play like that.

"You thought it was him didn't you?" He asked. I nodded my head. "I have to be more cautious now, I would died before he touch them." I say pouring the alcohol on his shoulder.

"We'll we won't let that happened now would we." He say with a lil smirk "well the cut didn't go through and imma give you some stitches it won't leave a big scar only a tiny one." I say handing him him shirt.

"Why you handing me my shirt you didn't even start yet." He asked "put it in your mouth because once I do the stitching it's gonna hurt since we don't have numbing cream." I say ushering him to grab it. I can hear him mumble a few cuss words before putting the shirt in his mouth.

Once I start I can hear him grunt each time I poke him. I studied in health and medicine once we got into New York so I know a few thing about the human body.

Once we finish Carlos was passed out by the third poke he not a big fan of needles so once he looked at it he passed out. I cleaned up all the things and see Carlos still nocked out on the floor.

"Wake up dumbass." I say kicking his foot he shot up punching me in the stomach. I double over. "Asshole." I said holding my stomach his hot are pretty hard enough to knock out someone. "Oh shit Malia my ba-." "You know what not my bad you shouldn't have threw a blade at me he say with proud smile. I rolled my eyes I don't blame him for hitting me because he's been through a lot and he always had to stay on guard like do.

"Just help me up." I say reaching for his hand. "Hey is everything thing ok up here?" Layla and Milan asked barging in. "He punched." "She stabbed me." We both say at the same time pointing at one another.

"Whatever come down your foods getting cold and Carlos put on a shirt." Milan says ushering use.

We got down stairs and everyone was eating and talking. All eyes went to us. "Why are you holding your stomach and why everyone Carlos move his arm he hiss?" Mika asked confused. "She stabbed me." "And he punched me." We say at the same time pointing at one another. "Wait huh?" Mika asked more confused than before.

"We'll I was going to get the twins when I hear someone and I thought everyone was down stairs so I used my blade and threw it at his shoulder which I meant for it to be his head but close enough so then I had to stick him up but he passed out before me even finishing and when I tried to wake him up he jumped up and punched me in my stomach." I say sitting beside the twins.

"Wait you know how to stitch up people?" Mika asked. Yeah once I went of new York I studied in health and medicine." I say with a shrug. "Awesome." She say eating some of her food.

We all had our own conversation going around the table I could fell Enzo's glances on me each time I'd talk but I really didn't mind.

After that we cleaned up and we all headed upstairs.

I put the kids to bed and I head to my bed and take my shower and headed to bed and let darkness take over me.

And pray to not have nightmares.
