Falling Slowly

Brothers?

"BLAKE! LET ME GO!" I ordered. He had me pinned on the ground in the middle of Luke's living room.

"Say it and I'll let ya up!"

"No!"

"Say 'Blake Shelton is the best singer in the whole wide world.' and I'll let ya go!"

I shook my head. "Never!"

He sighed. "Girl, ya sure are stubborn. You left me with no choice."

I froze. "What are ya gonna do?"

He started hacking up some spit.

"NO!" I yelled. "LUKE! JASON! TIM!"

Luke ran into the room with the others right behind him. "Blake, you hurt her and I'm gonna hurt you!"

"I ain't gonna hurt her none! I'm just gonna dangle some spit over her face until she says it. If she don't say it in time then it's gonna fall on her face," Blake told him.

"Oh, well if that's all yer gonna do," Luke shrugged, turning and starting to walk out of the room.

"THOMAS LUTHER BRYAN!" I screamed at him.

They all started laughing. I took the opportunity to flip Blake while his gaurd was gown. In a second I had him on his back with his arms pinned down.

"Woah girl. You got some moves!" Blake gasped. The others were laughing even harder now.

I smirked. "That's one of the perks of havin' three brothers. Ya learn how to fight real quick!"

Then the room went silent, and I wanted to kick myself for being so stupid.

"Ya have three brothers?" Jason asked.

I gulped and nodded, climbing off Blake. The air was so thick you could have probably cut it with a knife.

"So why didn't ya tell us?"

I shrugged even though I knew why.

"Come to think of it, ya don't talk about yer family at all!" Tim said.

I winced.

"Why is that?"

I just shook my head, refusing to answer the question. Memories came at me like a slap in the face.

*Flashback*

My father grabbed my arm and threw me to the floor, screaming at me as he kicked my stomach.

"Stop!" my oldest brother Aaron yelled, shoving my father away and allowing my second oldest brother Dan to pick me up and carry me to his bedroom.

In the room I could hear my father beating Aaron in the kitchen. Dan held my small body in his lap trying to comfort me. He put headphones over my ears and blasted music so I couldn't hear my father.

My last older brother Mark, walked into the room and said something to Dan before sitting next to us and rubbing soothing circles on my back.

*End of Flashback*

Blake was snapping his fingers in front of my face. I shook my head to try and clear my thoughts but felt tears sting my eyes. I shoved past everyone, hopped into my truck, and tore out of there with them calling after me.
