Levi's P.O.V.

As promised by Bradley, his and Parker's nice act didn't last very long.
It's now Saturday and I'm currently hiding from them in my room.
I thought ahead and took all the keys to mu door and hid them in my room so they couldn't unlock my door.

I was playing COD in my room when Bradley started banging on my door.

"Dweeb! Open up!" He exclaimed.
Val and my dad were at work so nobody could save me from their wrath.

"What do you want?" I called.
"We're having friends over." He told me.
Like I would even want to be near them and their friends anyway.

"Don't care." I replied.
"Whatever. Just don't bug us or you'll die." He said.
I rolled my eyes and continued playing COD.

2 hours later...

It's about 3:00 and I was getting super hungry so I went downstairs.
I made a Lean Cuisine in the microwave and ate it.
I saw Scout standing near the door whining.
Once I finished eating, I took Scout outside and played with him.

After half an hour of playing with Scout, I went back inside and was followed by Scout.
I gave him a treat and was about to go into the living room when I saw the tens and their friends there.

I went upstairs and started playing video games in my room.
"Levi, we're going to the mall." Bradley told me coming into his room.
"Cool." I said not looking away from my game.
"Okay. We'll be back by like 7:00. Does your dad let you stay home that long?" He asked.
"Of course he does. I'm 13 not 5." I answered.
"Don't get smart with me." He said.
"Well I can't get dumb with you since you're an idiot." I retorted.
"Okay. You're done." He said coming over to me.
He took my Xbox controller out of my hands and he pinned me down.
He punched me in the arm and gave me a Charlie Horse. I groaned and he put me in a painful wrestling move.
"Apologize." He said.
"No way." I replied.
"Don't make me get Parker." He threatened tightening his grip.
"Ow! Okay, I'm sorry! Let me go." I pleaded.
"That's what I thought, dimwit." He said letting me go and getting off me.
I sat up and he punched me one more time.

"Ow!" I exclaimed.
"See ya, loser. Don't die while we're gone." He said leaving my room.
"Asshole." I muttered holding my arm.

I heard the front door open and close.
I went to the window at the end of the hallway that faces the front of the house and saw them leave.
I went downstairs and locked the doors.
I went back upstairs and saw Scout near the stairs.
"Come on, Scout. Let's party!" I exclaimed and ran into Bradley's room.
I jumped on his bed and did a front flip.
They never really let me in their rooms unless it's important or they're trying to annoy me.
I jumped on it some more and then straightened the blanket out so it looked like nothing happened.
I did the same in Parker's room and then went into my room.

I had a stereo system that I have been dying to use so I hooked up my phone to it and started playing my music.
I put on  Guns N' Roses and jammed out to that for a while.
After an hour or so, I turned my music off and started playing video games.

After 3 hours...

It was about 7 o'clock and the twins weren't home yet.
Dad usually gets done work around 7 o'clock because he has an open house.
Val is working late too because she's usually home by 5 or 6 o'clock.
I was making myself some toast when I heard someone say "Don't touch those bagels."
I screamed and turned around to see Bradley.
"Jesus Christ, Bradley! I didn't know you were home! Don't do that!" I exclaimed.
"Don't touch those bagels. They're mine." He said.
"Are they like you're favourite or something?" I asked.
"No they're not my favourite. They're my girlfriend, duh." He answered
"I'm gonna call you bagels from now on." I told him.
"Okay. Then I'll call you Leo instead of Lee." He said leaving the kitchen.

I ate my toast and sat down on the couch. I turned on the TV and turned on Netflix.
I started watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens and was twenty minutes into the movie when Parker sat down beside me.
He grabbed the remote from my hands and I took it back.
"Give it!" He demanded trying to get it from me.
"No! Go watch TV in the Movie room." I replied hitting his hands away.

He tackled me onto the couch and pinned me down.
I tried pushing him off but he grabbed my hand.
"Give me the remote!" He demanded again.
"No! Get off!" I exclaimed.
He punched me in the arm and gave me a Charlie Horse.
"Ow! Get off Parker!" I yelled.
He smirked and punched me again.
"Ow! Stop!" I said.
He laughed and tried to get the remote.
I held onto it as tight as I could and he punched me.
He gave me another Charlie Horse and kept punching me really hard.
I was on the verge of tears when he punched me really hard in the stomach.
I started coughing and felt tears escape my eyes.

He grabbed the remote from my hands and punched me once more in the stomach.
I kept coughing and crying and curled up into a ball.
I heard Bradley come downstairs and asked Parker "What'd he do?"
"Wouldn't give me the remote so I punched him in the stomach. Put up quite a good fight for a baby." Parker answered turning on the football game.

I stopped crying and caught my breath.
I was still sniffling a little bit as I walked upstairs and to my room.
I slammed my door and screamed into my pillow.

I went into my bathroom and looked at my arms and stomach in the mirror.
They were red and we're starting to bruise.
I decided to take a shower so I locked my bedroom door and my bathroom door.
I turned on the water and got into the shower.

After I showered, I put on a pair of jogging pants and a t-shirt. I got into bed and drifted off to sleep.
