My six amazing brothers

Chapter 20

Logan's pov:

I couldn't sleep, I tried everything. I even got up and laid besides Max for a good two hours and still I couldn't sleep. My mind was occupied by thoughts of Baby, okay not like that, well a little. She looked so helpless and scared and I know that something is wrong. I don't have any sympathy for others so why would I care?

I picked up my phone and saw that the clock was 4:21 pm. It's almost morning, fucking hell. Tomorrow I will probably be forced to take care of my mom, she was passed out before dinner and Max should wake her up she was really upset. Max got scared so I had to tell her she was sick and not feeling well. She believed me and kissed her forehead when she passed out again.

I felt my heart beating faster, my breath getting heavier and I started to feel dizzy. I sat up against the wall and placed a hand on my chest, it's like something is in the way. Like I was trying to breathe but it didn't work. Fuck.

I begun counting things in my head and suddenly all I could see was her. Baby.

It didn't make any sense at all, I saw how she sat there against the lookers a few days ago waiting. Somehow it calmed me down and my breathing became normal again. I lied down, still with the image of her in my head and suddenly I was asleep.

Baby's POV:

I woke up when someone knocked on my door. My body felt numb, I just wanted to go back to sleep. The door opened and revealed my oldest brother, Noah had a tray in his hands.

"G'mornin, how are you feeling Baby?" He asked with a smile.

"Dunno" I answered with a yawn.

"I brought some breakfast" I sat up and he placed the tray on my bed, I suddenly felt a harsh pain in my ribs but I tried to not make any sound or sign of discomfort.

"T-Thank you, Noah" I smiled.

"Yeah of course, Tiny" he grinned "I leave you alone but we'll be downstairs if you need anything" he kissed my forehead and I nodded.

He left and closed the door. I looked down at the food he brought, it was one bowl of fruit, some yogurt with granola and a glass of my favorite chocolate milk. I smiled at the thought of him doing this for me, I'm not that used to someone noticing my favorite things.

I grabbed the tv remote and turned on Stranger Things ofc. My brain just relax when I watch it so it makes me forget about everything. I grabbed the yoghurt and started eating, it was really good to be honest.

When I've watched about two episodes and my breakfast was eaten up, I got to the bathroom. My ribs hurt like hell so I took some painkillers from the cupboard. I did my business and washed my face and brushed my teeth. Everything I could think of was the marks I now had, I loved it and hated it at the same time.

Somehow it just made me sane but I felt guilty about it. No one could see, no one. Once I was done I got back to my room and got dressed. I put on some gray sweatpants and a black hoodie I stole from Jake a couple days ago. It was really big on me but it was so comfy.

My phone buzzed and I looked over. It was a message from a group chat with me, Syd, Stephanie, Carla and Mia. Me and Syd hang out with them so I guess you could say that we're a friend group, even though me and Syd are the closest I still like them.

They asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. I just answered that I was alright before I decided to make my way downstairs. I knew dad would probably be there but so would my brothers so I think it'll be fine. I need to go down there sooner or later so why not.

It's Sunday so everyone will be home. I made my way to the stairs and with every step I could feel how my ankle stung. The stairs made it even worse because I needed to flex my foot but I took it slow.

Once I got to the bottom I walked into the living room where Leo and Drew sat. Perfect, the least overprotective ones. Note the sarcasm.

Drew looked up from his phone and he scanned me, I felt a wave of nausea hit me. What if he somehow could see it on me, the bruises on my ribs, the handprints on my arms and my scars. Suddenly I felt frozen all over again.

Something nudge my shoulder and I got back to reality.

"Hey, what's going on?" It was Drew.

"Oh uh-uh, nothings going on" I said more like a question than a statement. I want all my marks to go away now, and I want my so called dad to leave and never come back. I hate him, I really do.

"I can clearly see something's wrong" he furrowed his eyebrows and folded his arms over his chest.

"No I'm just a bit tired, that's all" Drew looked at my face like he was scanning for any sort of sign that I was lying.

Just in that moment Liam came up behind me.

"Baby, can we talk?" He asked me.

I just nodded and followed him into the kitchen, no one was there and by the look on Liam's face he didn't want anyone to hear our conversation.

I jumped up on the kitchen counter, it hurt a little bit but it wasn't too bad. "What's up?"

"I-I heard about the party yesterday and some of my friends were there" he began. "Look I'm not mad but seriously, everyone of them talked about how good you looked and they're my friends. Imagine all the stupid horny teenage boys that looks at you like that, it upsets me you know"

"Are you serious Liam? I can take care of myself, do you really think I would throw myself at them, especially one of your friends, no way!" Why the fuck would he bring this shit up? I get that he's is protective but for real...

"I've seen Ryan look at you and it wants me to rip his head off!" He yelled and raised his hand, I immediately flinched. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and his eyes became blank. "You-you, t-thought I would hit you. W-what, I would never Baby!"

I shook my head "No no, of course not I-I don't know why I did that, s-sorry" Why the hell did I flinch, of course Liam never would hurt me like that. Now everything will change and he will find out and dad will be even more mad-

"I'm sorry okay" Liam interrupted my thoughts and sighed "I didn't mean to scare you" his face expression was hurt, he felt really bad I could see that.

"It's not your fault" I muttered and rubbed my arm with my hand.

Liam dragged his hand through his hair and shook his head. "What has happened with you?"

My head snapped up and I squinted my eyes a little. "Wh-what do you mean?" My voice trembled and all I wanted to do was to tell him everything and cry into his chest.

"I know you Tiny, even though you don't think so. I can see when something has happened and you never flinch like that" He looked me in the eyes but I avoided his stare.

"I don't know what to say" I whispered in a raspy voice.

I felt pathetic.
