I walk out of the office and head toward my next class. I almost wish it wasn't Friday, so I would have to go to school. If I was, I wouldn't have to deal with my brothers. I hate that I just walked out like that, it was childish and entirely out character for me. But I needed to prove a point. I needed them to know that some things they just can't fix.I used to think that my brothers could fix anything, I thought that until Finn Hall decided to make my life miserable. 

Don't get me wrong I still believe that they can fix this, I just don't think they can fix it in time. If I told them, they would have to inform the principal, which might help but Finn would hear about it. He would already do whatever he has planned for me before anyone was able to do anything.I don't exactly know what he has planned for me, but I know that when Finn Hall makes a promise, he sure as hell keeps it. 

He would kill me, and he wouldn't even think of the consequences. That's what makes him scary, he doesn't care about the consequences, he just takes whatever is given to him.As I enter the classroom, all eyes are on me. I hate this, why can't people just mind their own damn business? I sit down in my seat and wait for this period to end so I can go home. The bell rings, and everyone jumps up and exits the door. I gather my things and head to my locker.

"Hey fag, did you tell anyone?" Finn asks when I arrive at my locker. He is leaned up against it blocking me from getting my things.

Fucking fantastic.  

   Jacks P.O.V 

"Hey fag, did you tell anyone?" Finn Hall asks Denver. 

What the hell what is Finn talking about? Tell who what? 

"No," Denver simply says in a soft voice. 

Denver only talks like that when he's scared. Why is he afraid of this kid? 

"Good, 'cause you know what will happen if you do," Finn says, ramming his shoulder into Denver's shorter one and walking away. 

I might not be the smartest Taylor, that's Denver I swear we need to take him to get an I.Q. test because I would bet money he's a genius, but I do have common sense (something Denver doesn't have), and I think I just found out who is bulling Denver.    

 Denver's P.O.V. 

After my "friendly" conversation with Finn, I open my locker, put my stuff in it for the weekend, and grab my jacket.

 "Hey, short stuff," Jack says, walking over to me with his hands in his pockets. 

 Well, I knew I would have to come in contact with them at some point, so I guess I should find some courage and do it now.

 "Hey," I say back softly, still kind of shaken up about Finn.

 "Let's go home, yeah?" Jack asks, slinging his arm around my shoulders. 

I don't reply, I just start walking. We head to Andrew's room, where Ryan and Drew immediately stop talking when we enter. That action alone makes me feel a thousand miles away from them, I hate the distance I put between us. 

I decide I'm done with the distance. Finn Hall my scare the shit out of me, but all I want right now is a hug from one of my brothers. I'm done taking orders from him, I'm done pretending that I can do this alone. So I get out of Jack's grasp and run right into Drew's arms. He doesn't hug back right away because of shock, I guess. I mean, I would probably be shocked too. But he eventually hugs back and pulls me into a bone-crushing hug. He lifts me up off the ground, squeezing me a little tighter.

 Andrews P.O.V

"I don't know what to do, Ryan. We can't help him if he doesn't talk to us," I say, my voice cracking at the end.

Denver has been through so much. I hate that this is happening to him. I just want want to keep him safe and cuddle him all the time. 

"Well, we've always taught him to come to us when he needs us, and he will just give him some time," Ryan says back. 

"I know I just...." I start to say, but the door opens, revealing Denver and Jack. 

Jack has his arm over Denver's shoulders. Jack has a look on his face that just screams trouble, and that's never good. They stand there a minute, but before I know it, Denver runs into my arms, engulfing me in a hug. I'm utterly shocked, an hour or so ago he acted like he hated us and now he's hugging me so tight I can't hardly breathe (I might be lying I don't think Denver can squeeze that hard, the only lifting he does is lifting books from the top shelf). 

But I don't care, he's hugging me. I realize that I've just been standing here with my jaw on the ground, looking like an idiot, so I waste no time pulling him into a tighter hug. I pick him up off the ground, so I don't have to bend down to hug him. Maybe Ryan's right, maybe he just needed to realize he needed our help. He's so damn small I can wrap my arms completely around him. He's also light as a feather, not to mention I have to pick him up, so I don't have to bend down to hug him. Denver finally lets me go, so I set him down. But he doesn't seem pleased with the complete loss of contact, so he stands as close as possible to me. There's my baby boy back.

 "Okay, are we ready to go home?" I ask the boys. I get a couple of yeses, and some nods. So I grab my keys and head out the door.      

Jacks P.O.V 

After we get home, Denver excuses himself and goes upstairs to use the bathroom. I take this as a perfect opportunity to tell the boys what I had seen and what I think I've figured out. 

"Hey, guys, can I talk to you?" I ask, fiddling with the rings on my fingers. 

 "Sure what's up," Andrew says, sitting down on the couch next to me. Ryan does the same.

 "I know who's bullying Denver," I say suddenly. 

My brothers looked shocked, to say the least. "Who," they both say in unison. 

 "Hey, guys, can we have pizza for dinner?" An all to familiar voice belonging to my baby brother asks. 

Ryan and Andrew give me a pointed look, meaning we're not done with this conversation

. "Sure, buddy, I'll call it in," Andrew says, getting up off the couch. 

I guess I'll just have to tell them later, but right now, we're just going to love our little brother and baby him for the next two days.
