Demons

Chapter 7 - Hey boss

Dylan

I don't want to be a monster anymore.

"I definitely have to think about it," my dad says.

"That's fine," I smile up at him. "I figured you'd need time."

"Why can't one of your brothers do this?" He questions.

"I love those guys. I do." I put my hand on his shoulder. "But, Mom gave birth to four idiots. The gang would go to hell if they led. But you. You were the leader of the fucking mafia, Dad. I know you can do this."

He laughs. "I always knew there was a reason you're my favorite." He ruffles my hair and I giggle. "Happy birthday Bubba. I'm glad you're home."

I hug him tightly. "Me too Dad. Me too." We stay like that, just talking. On the hood of his car, his arm around me. We stay long enough to watch the sunrise together.

It's mid morning by the time we get back to my house. We walk through the doors, laughing and pushing each other.

"Dad can you get your boys for me?" I ask. He jogs upstairs and I pace in the living room.

"Hi," Shawn says shortly as my four brothers sit on the couch. "What did you need Dylan?"

I pinch the bridge of my nose and inhale deeply. He is not going to make this easy.

"Shawn, Luke, Dante, Danny." I look at each of them. "I am...sorry for the way I acted this morning. You guys did nothing wrong and I was a bitch to you. I'm sorry."

They stay silent.

"I'm just glad you're feeling better Lil D." Dante stands up and hugs me. The rest of them follow suit.

Except it ends in a five way wrestling match.

"Luke!" I squeal as he starts to tickle me. I start laughing and wriggling. "L-Luke I can't breathe," I gasp. He stops immediately and I take the opportunity to pin him to the ground.

"HUH?!" He exclaims and I smirk.

"Never underestimate your little sister," I grin. Then I promptly slap him across the face, for fun, and run into the kitchen. "MOM HELP!" I shriek as Luke barrels towards me. I hide behind my mom and she blocks me.

"Luke," she warns.

"Mom she slapped me!" He cries.

"Luke." She says it in the same tone. He hangs his head.

"Sorry Momma." I kiss her cheek and run back to the living room.

Just as Ryder, Axel, Charlie, and Reggie are coming down the stairs.

"Hey!" I hug them all. "Do you guys wanna go to ice cream today?"

Reggie steps towards me. "Sorry Dyl. We have a concert to get ready for. We're gonna be prepping all day. The concert is at 7:30. See you later." They walk outside and Luke hugs me.

"See ya sis. Love you. Happy birthday triplets."

Ryder doesn't even say anything to me. They just get in Axel's car and drive away. I just stare at the front door in disbelief.

"DYLAN!" I look at the stairs and see Jake running down with Bri, TJ, and Jason. Danny walks over.

"Y'all good?" I ask. Then Maddy bursts through the front door.

"DYLAN!" She shrieks.

"STOP SAYING MY NAME AND TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!" I shout.

"Yao," she pants. "Gangs...done...over."
