I stare at him. Mouth hanging open. Eyes wide. Questions swarming through my head. I got the texts from Liam, not Tyler.

"You?" I ask, surprised.

"You know him?" Brandon asks.

"I'm her brother," he answers Brandon.

"My old foster brother," I correct him with hatred knowing that he nearly killed my friend.

Tyler starts walking back and forth, "Same difference. So I heard you know Liam - my cousin? Well he's kind of my cousin; he's my cousin through marriage. You two were a bit more than friends right? At least that's what he told me."

"That was two years ago! I was 14 and stupid! I-"

Tyler cuts me off, "Whatever. You know he also mentioned something else that quite interesting. You have a thing for your foster brothers don't you, Callie? Does your real brother know about you two? What's his name again, Jude?"

"Leave Jude out of this! If you or Liam touch him I'll," I really don't know how to threaten him. He smiles at me, testing me.

"There'll be no more of either of you," Brandon helps.

"Oh really? We're still here now aren't we," he smiles and before we can figure out what he meant, he's gone.

It took me a minute to realize what he was saying. I replay our conversation over and over in my head, my mind to full to figure it out at first. The it comes to me. My throat swells, my eyes fill with tears and blur my vision. My world just about ends. They hurt Jude.

Author's Note:

Really short I know, but here's the next chapter! It was really hard for me to even write this because Jude is my favorite character ever! Anyway, next chapter will be really long cause this one's really short. Thanks for reading, voting, and commenting!
