The Battle Inside

Chapter 12

Avi POV

I raced back to the room where Taylor was staying. Man, how does Scott put up with Cara?! I leaned against the door, keeping it shut. I just stood there, looking at how peaceful Taylor was. She was curled up in a small ball, snuggling her pillow and drooling on it. I was just about to sit down, when Scott knocked on the door. I opened it and saw how exhausted he looked.

"Coast is clear. That little devil is taking a nap." He puffed.

"Bro, go have some rest. How about I order some pizza and we invite the others over for another movie night?"

"What about Cara?"

"I can ask Es to watch her. She seems to behave when she's around."

"Oh my gosh thank you so much Avi." Scott thanked me and pulled me into a hug. Once we let go he walked back into his room and shut the door quietly behind him. I called the pizza place, ordered, then sent a quick group text to everyone to come to Scott and Mitch's for a movie night. I even invited Kaitlyn over. I hope Esther agrees to watch Cara tonight.

Mitch POV

"Bye babe! I should probably get back and check on how Tay is doing."

"That's fine. I hope she gets better soon, I hate seeing her like this. Bye! Love you."

"Love you too." I planted quick kiss on his lips and head out the door.

I couldn't get Taylor out of my head. She's been hiding and being very secretive lately. Is she keeping something from me? Is something or someone bothering her? I kept asking these questions over and over again, thinking about some answers that probably aren't true. I dismissed the thoughts out of my head as I parked my car in the driveway. Just as I got out of the car I received a text from Avi.

A: Hey guys! Pizza and movie night at Scott and Mitch's place tonight

I mentally fist bumped the air, excited for the pizza. I walked in and greeted Avi who was sitting on the couch watching some Sherlock as he always does. I walked to the spare room in the back and opened the door. She looked so peaceful when she's sleeping. I wish she was more like that when she's awake. I gently pressed my lips against her forehead, making her stir a little in her sleep. I was about to go back to the lounge when her iPhone 5 lit up with a bunch of notifications. Being the over protective brother I am, I looked at her phone. My eyes widened and I stopped breathing for a second. Pentaholics are hating on her! They even made a twitter account dedicated to this.

Allons-yTARDIS: What the hell is up with that Taylor Grassi chick?! It should go die in a hole!

TayGrassiHater: Screw that little piece of crap that calls itself Mitch Grassi's sister!

IAmSherlocked221: Mitch must be sooooo ashamed of calling the that ugly mutt his sister!

That last one got me. I was so heartbroken that anyone, especially the Pentaholics would say that! How would they react if they were ugly and told to go die in a hole! This is unacceptable. I wanted to know if anyone else knew about this ridiculousness. So I decided to ask one of the only people, apart from me, that should would trust. I stormed out to where Avi was and shoved the phone at his face.

"Did you know about this?"

"I-uh-w-well, no-but-uh" He stuttered nervously.

"Well spit it out already!"

"O-okay, well, she sort of, uh, begged me not to tell you and tha-"

"SO YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BULLCRAP?!" I was shocked.

"Yes, but she was worried that you would be outraged and get angry at your fans, because your over protective a-" I cut him off again.

"Of course I'm over protective! She's my little sister for crying out loud!" I seriously can not believe this. I turned around to go sulk in my room when Avi stopped me.

"I have something else you might want to know about."

I spun around. "What?"

"She's going to hate me for this, but, she has an eating disorder, that's why she's sick right now." He hung his head in shame.

"Why..." I ran off to my room and cried my eyes out.

Avi POV

Finally, I've got that off my chest! I still can't believe that a twelve year old is doing this to herself. After Mitch went to his room, I texted Kaitlyn, who was now officially my girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, y'all are probably asking, "You just met this chick, and you asked her to be my girlfriend?!" Well, get over it. She's beautiful and great to be around, so I couldn't wait to ask her out.

A: Hey babe. You have any plans tonight? :*

K: Uhhhh I don't think so. You have something?

A: How does a pizza and movie night sound? You can also meet my friends

K: Sounds great! Can't wait to meet them :)

A: Awesomesauce. I'll pick you up at about 7 :)

K: Okay see you then
