I'm in room looking through my old letters, Quiet by Troy Sivan is playing softly. It was when I was turning seven. That summer my parents sent me to a softball camp, I wanted to go so bad. Ash and I went together. We usually did around that time, after the divorce I stopped. I found a letter dad gave me, I was ecstatic to receive it:

Dear Ashton
How are you doing doll? I know for a fact your enjoying yourself at summer camp. Mom and I decided to take a vacation. Take care of your sister she's destructive. I love you don't think we didn't think about your siblings they're going with your grandparents. I think your mom might be pregnant, I don't want to get my hopes up though. If anything be aware of being a big sister. I love you take care.
                                Love
                                      Dad

Now I have a sister, I don't even know if I want one. She isn't the one to blame of her slutty parents who have no dignity or respect. They didn't respect my moms house, or her marriage or her bedroom. I hear a knock on on my door.

"It's me Astrid." She says. "Come in." I whisper. She comes in and takes a seat on my bed.

"I don't except you to forgive him, why didn't you tell me it was this bad?" She asks. "Do you not trust me?" She questions.

"I couldn't bring myself to talk about this, Ash it was, it still is difficult for me." I say. "I couldn't even dam speak. I admired dad he was my hero, he hurt me like no boy could. HE BROKE ME BEFORE I GOT THE CHANCE TO REALIZE WHAT HEARTBREAK WAS." I scream. She hold me.  "I'm so sorry, I don't cry, this isn't me." I cry into her shoulder.

"Hey don't apologize. I spent eight and a half months in the womb with you. I've spent all my life with you. I won't take away points for crying, you deserve to cry! It's okay to cry." She says. "I need you to be strong so you won't have to see him. He's hurt you enough." She says.

Astrids p.o.v.
I made sure Ash was sleeping. I made my way downstairs. I get my phone and keys.

To mom:
I'm going to dads,

From mom:
Astrid don't. It could be used against you during court

To mom:
I need to. He can't hurt my sister and expect no consequences. He hurt my baby sister! She's my sister mom!!!

From mom:
She's my daughter, she's our Ashton. He broke her. Don't take the dam car Astrid! It will affect your sister.

To mom:
Fine I won't. 
I love you mom. Please fight with all you got for Ashton she's our Ashton.

From mom:
I will. Now don't do anything stupid.

I hear a knock on the window. I look up to see Nicolas, I give him a small smile. He motions his head to get out of the car. I get out.

"I was thinking Astrid, that you and I don't spend quality time. What about a game of polo or anything you want to do." He proposes making me smile.

"I would like that Nicolas. I'm sorry for being a jerk, I know you care about my sister and my mother. You care for my siblings, you make my mom happy. Do you accept my apology?" I ask.

"Do you accept to spend quality time?" He asks. I nod my head. "Then I accept your apology." He says.

"Can you teach me to play polo?" I ask.

"I would very much enjoy that." He says.

"Wow you're good at polo." I say.

"Yeah I made your mother play a game with me, she lost." He says laughing.

"You really like her?" I ask.

"I do Astrid, I never loved someone how I love your mother. I had a girlfriend, Alison, I thought I loved her but now I know I didn't." He says.

"Don't hurt her, my fathers hurt her enough." I say.

"I don't plan on it Farrón, her hurting means I'm hurting." He says.

"Why didn't you guys date earlier?" I ask he just shrugs.

"I was going to do something stupid today." I say. He just looks at me. "Ashton cried like she's never cried before. She's a strong one it's hard to make her cry. My father broke her terribly. I didn't know she was broken so badly. I was going to go to his place and scream and him and his Whore of a wife, she hurt her. They broke all of us and my mom spent years mending us back together and left herself at last. Once you hurt my mother you hurt all of us Nicolas. Don't hurt her cause you'll face all of us and Luke, he will literally hurt you. He's seen mom hurt by my father. Lets just say he gave him an ass kicking." I laugh. "God I would love to see that again." I laugh.

"You want to see your dad get beat?" Nicolas questions. I nod my head making him laugh. "Jesus I don't want to get on your bad side." He says making me laugh and he joins me.

"I have a feeling of you Nicolas, you're a good one. Uncle Luke would approve of you." I say.

"I'm glad to hear that." He says with a smile. We start heading to the car to go home.
