if only I knew

chapter two

Ares pov>
After getting word that our "dad" was in Chicago, close to where we live I went into action I started to look up places he could be and doing everything in my power to keep us hidden and away from him I have to keep my little brothers safe along with the twins. When I got up that morning I told our oldest brother Elijah,

he knows some of what our dad did to us but not everything he knows that he hit us, told us that we were worthless and useless but for the intense stuff that happened no one knows but us our little group the six of us know everything that happened me, Apollo, ace, Asher, cait, and luke, we made a little group thing to keep our secrets safe and it's worked for the most part I just need to convince the rest to tell everyone what happened. We can't keep this secret forever.
Elijah's pov>
After ares told me that there dad was back in town actually in our town I was pissed. That man knows that he's not welcome here not after what he done to my kids, and the twins. Our parents back home know what he did like the hitting and the name calling along with the insults but I feel like there's more, I feel like the boys have more to tell me about what happened to them but I can't do anything till they tell me more about what happened I hope they tell me eventually I want to help them as much as I can.
Caitlins pov>
I woke up in tears, I feel like I've been screaming for years. I had the worst nightmare of dad I can't get rid of this one memory it just messes with me.
Flashback
we were sitting on dads couch waiting for him to come back home. He left earlier and told us not to move if we did we would be punished and I can't take another one for my brothers I'm hurting so bad from the other one I don't think I can take another one. Someone pulled me out of my thoughts as I heard voices at the door OH NO it's dads friends they scare me more then anything. I'm grateful they haven't touched me or anything they just beat and beat till we're all bloody it's a mess, being pulled out of my thoughts again I'm met with ares worried face telling me it's going to be okay I looked around for Apollo to my knowledge he was here but he wasn't on the couch usually he's holding luke, ace, asher, and me but he wasn't there till I heard screams those same screams scare me to death it was ap it was coming from the kitchen, I knew what he went to get food. We were starving we didn't eat anything but McDonald's that kai got us before he dropped us off here, about that time Apollo was being dragged through the house to dads room the same room he beat us in he turned around and told us to stay out and apollo mouthed a im sorry. It was about ten minutes and five minutes ago the screaming stopped ace and me were crying ares was sobbing and holding asher and luke and dads friends were laughing god I wish I could kill them someday. Dad eventually came out and through apollo on the ground with a beer bottle jammed into his stomach, he was unconscious. We waited till dad left to help him we treated the wounds while ares called nick we had to get out of here before one of us was next. That whole night we didn't leave each others sight.
That night was the last time I saw my brothers they left us a week after that I miss them more then my whole life I wish things were different and we didn't have to go through this stupid shit I sometimes wish dad didn't have to hurt us but I guess people's true colors show sometimes.
