Within fifteen minutes, Isabella knocks on my door. I go to open it.

"Andreas and Ivan came, and they are asking for you."

"Okay, Izzy, thanks for notifying me." I pats her head, and she giggles.

I run downstairs to see them.

"Azzy!!" Ivan says in amusement.

"You came, I was worr- " Before I  can even continue my words, I notice blood on Andreas collar.

"What is this? Oh my God, what happened?"

"Don't worry, it isn't mine." Andreas replies, his voice seems tired.

"Someone got furious and couldn't handle it." Ivan continues Andreas's sentence.

"Whose blood is this?" My voice turns into a worried tone, I am acting like a mother now.

"Don't worry, it isn't important." He is still tired.

"Andreas, tell me now who did that!" I am shouting, and Ivan keeps moving his hands on his mouth to tell me to shut up. "You both are tired. Where were bo-"

"STOP!!" Andreas yells. And i jump in fear. "I said it isn't mine, stop it!!" My eyes become watery, I am just trying to help!

"Don't raise your voice at her. She is trying to help." Isabella warns Andreas while Ivan is patting his shoulder to calm him down.

Hugo is just eating. We are fighting bro, just move, do anything!

"I am sorry." He apologizes, a tear rolls over my face. I raise my finger and point it to his face.

"Ne-never sho-shout at me, never!" I raise my finger at him while another tear follows.

He nods. Why am I crying? I am winning this argument.

"Here, clean it." I hand him a cloth to clean the blood on his neck.

He motiones his lips and says 'thanks'. He definitely got hit.

"I am going upstairs." I declare.

I have nothing to do here, I got yelled at just because I am trying to help. Enough of this, I am tired of all the yelling.

On my way to my room, I hear Ivan telling Hugo. "If dad knew anything about this, I am gonna make sure to end your life by myself."

Maybe they went to James.-- No, they don't know his address.

Who would hit him? He doesn't hurt anyone. That's just not him. He is friendly to everyone.

I have to finish my homework, but I can't. I can't concentrate, I am still worried.

An hour had passed, and I was still trying to finish my homework. I did some, but there are lots left.

Diago would be proud of me if he knew what I did to James.

He is just-not-here.

I manage to finish my homework and now it is 10 pm. I have to sleep, I can't stop thinking of Diago.

I grab an album from about two years and began to look through it.

A flood of emotions filled me, and my eyes begin to be watery when I spot a picture of me and Diago- smiling.

A sob escapes my lips, and I can feel my body shivering.

I begin to sob even more and cry harder.

"What's wrong, Azzy?" Isabella shows up. I begalin to sob even more and show her the picture.
