I woke up to doctors racing around in the room. The second they saw I was awake they shoved a light near my eyes. They asked me questions like how much in a scale of 1-10 is the pain" but I ignored everything and just cried. "Were is a-Abby! Z-zack Ashly. Anyone in my family!"
I woke up to the sound of an alarm clock. I flinched and looked around startled. Where am I. Why am I not in the foster care- oh yeah I forgot I live with the Josephs now. I look around my new room and groaned. Tyler was the one in that spare bed. I looked at Brendon who was staring at me. "Hey how'd you sleep?" Brendon asked me. I shrugged "same as usual" i said with calmness laced in my voice. Tyler was looking at me like I had a spider on my head. "Enjoying the show" Brendon said. I chuckled seeing Tyler blush a little and look at his hands. "Sorry it's just... the two times I ever heard him talk was during his panic attacks. I only ever heard his panicked voice." Tyler had this smirk on his face. My smile faltered and I looked down "fuck you, look you made him sad. You can't talk about my friend like that you understand!" Just then Tyler's mom walked in with her eyebrows raised "another conflict. Ugh just stop fighting please. You will be brothers now so- oh hello Joshua" her annoyed face turned to a smile but that did not stop josh from flinching at the name and flinching more when she tried to touch him. "Please don't don't call him.... Joshua. He doesn't like the name." Brendon interrupted. His voice was stern but turned down 10 notches when he said Joshua. After Joshua his voice was stern again. Josh blocked out everything after that.
"Joshua come down stairs we have to go." Josh's foster dad called out, they were going to be late for school. After josh got to the car he thought about having the perfect house with an even more perfect family. He did that allot when he was in the car. "Joshua! We can't get to school on time! You stupid good for nothing idiot! Now another day to not go to school" he screamed. If your late to school even by 5 minutes you can't go. When they parked the car the foster dad angrily grabbed josh by his hoodie and threw him inside. He shut the door and hit him four times in the face hard. Five time in his side and 10 times in the stomach full force. Josh fell down to the floor and coughed up blood and weakly tried to crawl away but did not make it in time. His 'dad' picked him by the hoody and threw him to the floor. He kept punching him till all he saw was black. He felt his body go limp and his foster father kicked him in the back one more time.

His new foster mother, Tyler and Brendon are all staring at me. "See you made him scared" Brendon said with an annoyed look. "Of what?! You did not tell me..." Tyler sounded annoyed to. "You don't need to know anyways asshole. 'Sides josh should be the one to tell you" Brendon was going to explode of anger and you could tell. "This idiot never talks. Maybe he only speaks panic attack ahaha" Tyler laughed at himself and everyone kinda gave him the 'wtf was that even' face. "What that was funny you gotta admit" Tyler was now looking embarrassed. "Whatever." It was now silent so I just decided to lay down. "So josh..." my new foster mom started to pull me off the bed and I slapped her. "No, touch" I sat back down and stared at her shaken face. "See this bitch can't even be touched" Brendon stood up and was ready to fight and I decided to just talk. "Bren no. Don't.
just.... leave him alone" I looked down and played with my hands a little. My new foster mom stood up and walked out waving a little and mouthing the words 'I'll be back later' we all nodded. Brendon sat back on his bed. Tyler looked like In thought and just stood up startling josh. Josh looked out the window, but Tyler came near me. Brendon stood up with his arms crossed as Tyler grabbed me. Not thinking straight I slapped him. "No touch, please" a few tears in my eyes. He had a phone recording and Brendon noticed. "Get rid of the video now!" I saw him press a button and Tyler had a smirk. Brendon punched him in the face "didn't I tell you to delete it!" "Yeah, and" "your such a rich snob, come josh lets take a walk" Brendon pulled me and I did not even flinch. I trust Brendon, no one else. Not even my self.
----------------------
After the short walk outside me and Brendon made it just in time for dinner. "Joshua, Brendon you came for dinner" Brendon glared at her as she said Joshua and then narrowed them at Tyler. Tyler just smiled in return. "Why all the mad faces at each other" the man that I assume was the foster father spoke. I saw the abusive foster father for a second and I visibly started shaking and for a second I swore I saw pity In Tyler's eyes. "Brendon and Tyler hate each other" a little kid that was now my brother chimed in. "Well why" the foster father asked. "Why. Well all tell you why. This little shit has been nothing but rude to josh here" Brendon said with irritation in his voice. "I'm not the one who asked for you to be here. Either of you" Tyler answered with irritation in his voice too. Stop. They need to stop. I was on the verge of standing up. "Do you think I asked for my dumb family to put me in foster care. Do you think Josh asked his abusive ass parents to force him and his siblings to go on a car trip were all of them died-" "enough" the foster mother interrupted Brendon from yelling at Tyler about Josh's life. At that moment josh thought it would be a good time to leave even though he did not touch a single bit of his food. So he stood up startling everyone and ran to his room. Leaving everyone quiet.
