Chapter 1-

"How could you do this to us!" yelled my mother's broken voice.

"I didn't do anything to you mom!" I whispered back to her, I was desperate at this point.

My mother got ready to argue back, but as soon as we heard the sharp sound of the front door opening we both dropped the conversation.

We new what was coming and it was going to be a long night

He walked into the door, his tie was hanging loose around his neck and he was soon pacing into the kitchen.

"Hey sweetheart how was school today?" my father asked casually. I looked up to see the exact deep, chocolate, brown eyes; I myself had inherited staring back at me.

"It was ok" I replied slowly. He gave me a sad smile and turned to my mom giving her a quick peck on the cheek before excusing himself to get ready for dinner.

I helped my mom prepare dinner in usual silence. Once my dad came back into the room looking stressed, I knew it was my cue to leave and head up to my room.

I was walking up the stairs counting them in my head as i went. 1..2..3..4.. BAM! I fell straight onto the floor.

My back started aching from the impact. I quickly looked up to see both of my older brothers staring back down at me. Suddenly they burst out laughing, I literally saw tears streaming from their eyes.

"Not funny" I muttered annoyed at the two.

I quietly reached up for something to support myself on, when Mariano my oldest brother, who is 22 shot up to help. Leo who was only two years older than myself, making him 19 was still laughing strongly. I quickly hit him across the head.

"Ow...” he muttered. I saw the small tinge of red crossing his face.

"Hey lil' sis, why aren't you watching where you're going?" Leo said smiling like a big goof.

"Hey big bro, what are you doing looking like a tomato?" I replied smiling sweetly at him.

"Ha-Ha, nice sarcasm" he shot back.

Mariano offered Leo a hand, pulling him up to his feet. They both exchanged a glance at each other, I knew that look all too well. Everything happened so quickly I couldn't even register it.

I was stuck in a big brother sandwich hug. Caught in the middle my brother's started kissing my head and doing the older brothers job by annoying me. After my failed attempt to escape them, they finally let go of me.

While they took off down the stairs I only then noticed what they were wearing.

Mariano was wearing a neat back and grey button down, dark washed denim jeans and black high-top sneakers. He was sporting a nice big expensive watch with two silver rings. One of the rings from me which was for his 21st birthday and the other from his sweet girlfriend Dena.

Leo was also dressed up nicely in his plain dark blue v-neck shirt, which complimented all of our olive, tanned skin perfectly, blue was our colour. His usual white gold chain hanging over his chest, he wore it since the day his also very sweet girlfriend Melena gave it to him. Leo wore black jeans and his dark blue high-top sneakers.

"Where are you off to?" I questioned nervously.

They were both fixing their hair in the mirror next to the front door when Leo turned to me "Out with the boys" he replied calmly.

I stared at them.. Getting a sickly feeling, Mariano turned to me running up the stairs. He caught me in a strong hug and whispered that they wouldn't be too long. I hugged my brother back, not wanting to let go. He slowly took one last glance at me before pulling Leo out the front door with him.

I sunk down on the top of the stairs. Realizing I was going to be alone again while my parents argued all night.

They had started arguing badly when my dad's company started loosing money. Every night would be worse; they would both say and do things they didn't really mean. My brothers both had their escapes.

They could get up and leave the house whenever they needed to. When my parents argue I'm stuck here through it all. Deep down i know its hard for Mariano and Leo to leave me alone sometimes.

But they don't know the things I've seen and heard.

I'm hurting.

Slowly breaking and crumbling inside.

The sounds of plates breaking downstairs snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Why did you drop the plates? Plates do cost money!" my dad exclaimed raising his voice.

I could hear my mom trying to calm him down. I already knew tonight would be a long night.

With no escape.
