My Brothers ⇒ (Pierce The Veil)

chapter 2

Vic

As we sat on the porch, me and Mike tried to tell our sister about the fun things that happened on tour. We told her how we were going to surprise her. Us ignoring her was apart of the plan. We successfully got her to laugh a few times.

"Hey, I'm sorry we didn't see each other or call you. Ally, I promise it was apart of the plan. We wanted to get you so good" Mike softly said and all Ally did was nod. "So, I went through hell just so you could get a joke on?" Alicia quietly asked and bowed her head. It was obvious she wasn't used to talking back or commenting but we were her brothers.

"No Ally, that's not what we meant. What I meant, we were in tour across sea and the states. We–" Mike attempted time defend himself but we were all guilty, I heard all her voicemails and still didn't do anything. I would call our mom and ask her what's happening and ask her to calm down every now and then. I just never spoke to Alicia individually.

"Alright, so why don't we go? Let's go out to eat, or do something fun? Do you like that?" I asked as I helped Ally up. She nodded and lightly smiled as Mike waited for us inside. I got up and closed the door behind us. I fiddled with it, trying to lock it. "Ally, how do you lock this?" I asked and Ally turned around and helped me. That's when my parents stopped us.

Alicia

"I was wondering what you guys were up to. So you found Alicia, I see. Oh yeah, so what's been going on with you messaging them while they were on tour?" She waited for a response and Mike and Vic backed you a little.

"Mom, me and Mike want to take her. You guys are getting older and should live a life with retirement of us, we got her in our hands mom." Vic calmly said stepping forward. Our mom stood there for a moment in silence. "What? No? We are her parents, you guys are always going to be busy making music. What about you? Where do you think you are going? You're grounded. I said stay in this room" She spat out looking at me.

I flinched as she yelled. Vic and Mikes face dropped as they saw a whole different person in their mother. I looked at Vic because I was scared that she might hit me. Vic held my hand and Mike stood by my other side.

"Can you speak? I just said something to you pendeja!" She said walking up towards me. "You are not going anywhere!" She yelled, humiliating me. Vic and Mike didn't do anything. Just then, my mother grabbed me by the hair, she had grip on my hair, "Pequeña perra! You told them lies didn't you? I do not abuse you so stop going around telling lies!" She screeched.

"Mom leave her alone!" Vic said furiously and snatched me away from her. "You can't be telling her these things, she's your baby." I moved back and away from her while she was distracted and stood closer to Mike. She looked at him with evil eyes, "No Vic, she's under my house, I'm her parent and you're just her brother and there's nothing you could do. She's not going anywhere. She is being taken care of here."

"Well I am taking her! Is abusing her caring for her? Do you enjoy hurting her? Your own baby girl?" Vic shouted and Mike had to shut him up by putting his hand on Vic's arm. "Vic stop.. Calm down" Mike spoke softly.

"No, moms always been known to be right but right now, in this moment, she isn't! Are you blind? Look at Alicia's arms. Don't you see the bruises? Dad seems to be unwell and I think she could be in a better environment! How much do you want to bet, if I lifted Alicias shirt, I will find something?" Vic asked loudly and Mike stared at him before turning to Alicia. He walked closer before attempting. "–Is this necessary? She took a fell and got beat up at school because she chose to pick a fight" their mom defended. "Don't even lie to us in our faces mom, you can't be doing this to her! Not to Ally. Not ever!" Mike finally yelled as he saw new and old bruises on her abdomen and hips.
