Mellifluous (Lauren/You)

Chapter 14

Y/N's P.O.V

In just a day I found out about all my siblings. Cierra was bullied because she was smart and they made her out as the slut of the school. Reason for it was a boy she met was in the popular crowed. Osvaldo is one of the few FBI agents working in our state to investigate criminal activity. He is also getting married soon which I thought was amazing. Jace was in a long term relationship and was a book keeper at a law firm. Amara worked for the state as a psychologist in group homes and for foster care. Valeria and Veronica were in on the cosmetology stuff and they also let us know they had a loving mother. Valeria was becoming professional make up artist and Veronica was doing hair. Liam, Ethan, and Grayson were in school still and had little to no idea what the wanted to do.

"Let's call it a night?" I ask but they shook their heads.

"We want to know about you 4 and how it was living here." Drew asks making me turn to my brothers. They looked shaken a bit but they gave in.

"Well we all have our story to tell on certain parts but the one who has been through everything is Christian. He can tell you most of it if I'm being honest." I say handing the responsibility to him.

"Well where do I start... I guess from what I can remember... My parents were together for like a year before they were married and had me. Well around that time we had money and everything was okay. I have no idea what happened that one night that changed our lives and led us to this home. My sister and brother were talking but they would never really remember what I did. I helped move us hear while the were sleeping. I never expected my father to turn into what he did... he was always a cheat and our mother knew but stayed. She had enough and abandoned us to the man that she was trying to forget. She will be here for the reading but I don't see her as my mother any longer. She gave birth to us 4 but she never raised us right. We learned ourselves how to face everything. Y/N became the motherly figure around this house for the time being but then again she was another one seeking a mother. You see we haven't told you everything that, that man we have for father did." He pulls his jacket off and pulls up the sleeve of his right arm. He was showing them the brand... Father placed it on all of us like cattle as if we were property. Mine on the other hand was placed on my right rib cage.

"So your saying he branded you like animals." Lauren says upset then turned to look at my arm but didn't see it. "You don't have it.." I shake my head and lift my shirt exposing my upper left rib, that part of my sports bra covered. "Babe..." She hugs me and I sigh pulling her tight into my body. That's when I hear Jace speak up.

"Well we have that in common at least." He shows his forearm but then again all of them sighed nodding their heads. Everyone showed their brand scars making me shake my head disappointed that they got one too. "My mom said I got this while playing with a branding staph that was hot... guess he did this without my mother knowing or maybe she did know."

"Mom said I got this when I was 5 for playing with dad's things and I accidently burned myself..." Valeria says.

"Mom said that I was with you and we both got hurt from it..." We all talked about the fucked up shit our mothers said to protect us from the truth. What was worse is that he marked all his other children at the age of 2. The mark he had left indeed left a mark on all of us. That's when we hear the door bell ring. It was around 11 pm so we were surprised by the sound. Christian got up and answered the door only to come back a minute later with a woman I could barley recognize. Not for the appearance but lack of memory. She was indeed our mother but all I remember was slight things.

"Guys this is my mother Tania" Christian says making me focus on the name even more. My father was Italian and my mother had a Mexican along with Spanish mix.
