Draven stared at Dash with shock. Dash was glaring at him with murder in his eyes. Draven had yet to learn what Dash was talking about. Dash was getting impatient, and so was Jax. Pilot was still bewildered.

"Dash asked you something," Jax told Draven.

"I-what?" Draven stuttered.

"Ashton just told me that your best bud has been abusing her. You are around him all the time. There is no way you couldn't have known." Dash growled at him.

"He was probably too high or drunk to notice." Pilot rolled his eyes.

"You're the one to fucking talk. It's not like you ever acknowledged her anymore." Draven snapped back, making Pilot flinch.

Pilot knew that Draven was right. He was too busy going out and getting drunk and high as well to notice the changes in his little sister. How withdrawn and quiet she became. She never left her room, put on makeup, which she never used to do, and was suddenly caking her face. She was being hurt. He failed her more than he even realized.

"Draven, you better fucking answer me!" Dash yelled. He stomped over to Draven despite Jax trying to stop, but Dash already had Draven by the collar.

"Dash," Jax warned.

Dash ignored him as he still had a tight grip on Draven's shirt.

"I don't know anything, I swear!" Draven yelled.

"Bullshit." Dash scoffed.

"It's true! Dash, I really didn't know. If I did, I would have put an end to it." Draven said sincerely enough for Dash to let him go.

Jax laughed. "With the way you act? Doubtful."

"Shut the fuck up! It's not like you would know! You haven't been here!" Draven snapped.

"Well, I would have known if I was here," Jax said pathetically, trying to defend himself.

"And you never thought something was off?" Dash started to point at Pilot.

"I- she seemed more withdrawn but I just assumed it was everything mom and dad put us through and how Draven and I had been." Pilot looked down.

"What about you, Dash? Just blaming us when you are no better!" Draven exclaimed.

"Excuse me?" Dash gritted.

"Ohhh, exposed." Jax whistled.

"Jax, please just shut up." Pilot begged.

"It's not like you are home much! You're her fucking guardian. How the hell did you not notice something was wrong." Draven accused.

"I've been working my ass off to keep the house and get food on the table. Last time I checked, you didn't have a job. You were just frolicking around and getting high and letting your meth head of a friend smack around your little sister."

"I already told you I didn't know!"

"You should have."

"We all should have," Pilot said solemnly.
