(WARNING:THIS CHAPTER IS ALSO REALLY INTENSE)

I walked into the room Kenosha and I used to share. She lay asleep on her bed. Why couldn't I have been like her? Loved. I'd give anything just to feel loved. Or Marcus, athletic. I'd have scholarships and friends. I'd even want to be like Xavier and Adrian if it meant I wouldn't be me anymore.

What kind of life did I have? A shitty one and what's the point of living when it's so hard. I mean, my mom is a goddamn prostitute, I have no idea who my dad is, I was adopted into a house full of assholes, the only guy I ever loved doesn't love me back. So what's the point?

I'm alone.

I grabbed all of my clothes and stuffed them into two separate duffle bags. I wiped my tears away and walked out of the room. I was met at the head of the stairs by none other than Marcus. He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"What'd they do to you?"

I ignored him and tried to get by. He stuck his arms out, blocking my way. I really didn't need this right now.

"Mutt, you're all bruised up. They weren't supposed to hurt you."

They weren't supposed to hurt me? Did he know about that girl dropping me off with those fuckers? Was I picked up on purpose?

"Say something... please." I saw real concern on his face but I didn't care. "Mutt...Max. I'm sorry."

I'm sorry?

"You plan that?" I asked, my voice shaking.

He sighed, "yeah. They were supposed to scare you, not beat you up."

Beat me up. I wanted to laugh but I couldn't. The corners of my mouth couldn't curl upwards.

"They didn't beat me up Marcus."

"What'd they do, Max?"

"Don't call me that. You don't get to call me that."

"Tell me what they did and I'll kill em, okay. All of them."

I stared at Marcus. I wasn't use to seeing him like this. He was always hard and unemotional. I imagined him being like this with Washington.

"Alright. They raped me. All three of them raped me!" I was yelling now but I didn't care.

"Max."

"You left me alone! I called for you and you left! How could you do that? Why would you do that? I woke up in a puddle full of blood, alcohol, and piss!" Tears were pouring out of me.

I dropped to my knees. Broken. I was officially broken. Maybe I had always been broken but what happened last night made me realize that. I didn't know what to do.

"Why does everyone always shit on me? Everyone always shits on me and it isn't fair! I have nothing! I'm alone and it's hurting me! I'm a waste of fucking space!"

Everything went silent for a while. The only thing I heard was my crying.

"Max, you're not alone."

It wasn't Marcus that said that. It was Kenosha. I sat up, looking at her with blurred vision.

Xavier and Adrian stood next to her in their pyjamas with crossed arms. Xavier looked concerned. Adrian looked annoyed.

"Don't even lie, Kenosha. The few months you've been gone, everything has been great. Mom's happy again, no one's arguing. You're a burden, Mutt. Go back to wherever you came from." Adrian stated, taking steps towards me.

"Don't say that." Marcus said.

"Don't say what? The truth? Cause that's what it is, the truth."

Marcus stepped over me and charged at Adrian, pinning him up against the wall.

"You gonna hit me? For what? It's the truth. Nobody wants to admit it because poor little Mutt got dick up his ass. How many times has some dude fucked you? Why are you all sad about that now? Marcus, you're only defending him because it's your fault he got raped." Adrian pushed Marcus away and turned back to me, "if you stay here, everything is gonna go to hell so leave."

I looked down at the floor, taking in Adrians words.

"You selfish fucking bitch! Go! Nobody wants you here! Fucking leave!"

I grabbed my duffel bags, stood up and left. I ran out of the door and into something. I hit the ground hard. I looked up at the object.

Taylor.

He looked down at me and reached for me, picking me up. He didn't say anything, he just gently ran his fingers along my bruised face.

"I swear to God." Taylor said as if a light bulb went off in his head. He pushed pass me and angrily rushed into the house.

I picked myself off of the ground. A normal person would go and stop Taylor from fighting Marcus but I wasn't a normal person. Plus Taylor could really damage Marcus if he wanted to.

I was about to take a step but paused when I heard Kenosha screaming for Adrian and Xavier to stop. I felt my heart drop. If they hurt Taylor.

I dropped my bags and ran back into the house. I sprinted upstairs. Taylor was fighting Marcus, Adrian, and Xavier. I went for Xavier. I could take him.

I tackled Xavier off of Taylor. We started fighting as Kenosha screamed for us to stop.

I was sore and couldn't really fight like I wanted to but as long as it kept him away from Taylor, I didn't care. I tried my best to distract Xavier.

Next thing I know, a loud yelp feels the room. Everyone pauses.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

"Oh god." Kenosha covered her mouth and turned around, crying.

I tried my best to stand up. I slugged to the end of the staircase with everyone else. It was my mom. She was at the end of the bottom of the stairs. Motionless.

"Ma!" Adrian screamed, rushing down the stairs.
