MARA'S POV

I woke up in a white room. My eyes were heavy and I was stiff. I slowly lifted up my head and looked around. My brother was sitting on the chair next to my bed and Lacey and Madi were sitting on the floor by the wall. I looked towards the doorway and Wesley was standing in the doorway with Keaton behind him. Fuck why was he here? He's mainly the reason why I'm here! Oh well once I tell Drew about all the bullshit he put me through, oh he's gonna pay. I tried to sit up and I grunted which made everyone look.

"Oh my gosh! Mara you're alright!" Drew said holding my hand.

"Yah I'm fine." I said in a hushed tone.

He looked at my arm and then back at me.

"Why did you do this? What's happening with you?" He asked me holding my arm where I had the severe blood loss. I took a deep breathe and looked at Wesley who was staring at me. I wanted to tell him about everything that Wesley did but, nothing was coming out. I was about to say something until Madi cut in.

"If you really wanna know, why don't you ask him." She said motioning towards Wesley.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Drew confused.

"You've been completely blind of what has been happening right in front of your eyes! Wesley caused all of this! He was a downright bully towards Mara and put her through so much pain!" She yelled standing up. Drew looked at Wesley.

"Is this true?" He asked slowly walking to Wesley.

"Dude it wasn't anything personal." Wesley said trying to reason with him.

"What? You did this to her? and I was completely blind to it all?! What the fuck Wesley we're supposed to be brothers!! Not only have you hurt my little sister, but you've also hurt me. I hope you're happy. I can't believe you beat her to the point where she can't wear anything but sweats and a hoodie!" Drew yelled.

"Wait what? I didn't beat her!" Wesley said motioning to all if the bruises on my arms and legs. Drew looked at my bruises and then back at me.

"Those aren't from Wesley, Drew.." I said looking down at my hands.

"Who are they from then?" He asked me staring right into me. I hesitated not wanting to tell him.

"They're- they're from dad." I croaked. His eyes got wide and his jaw clenched.

"Dude don't-" Keaton tried to calm him down immediately knowing what he was thinking. Drew pushed passed him and walked to the exit. I heard the door open and close.

"Keaton?" I called

"Yes?" He asked

"Please make sure he doesn't get hurt. Go with him." I said trying not to fall asleep.

"Of course." He said and he jogged after Drew.

"Hey Mara, Madi and I have to go. Please get better soon though." She said clenching on to my hand.

"Okay I'll try. Bye." I waved to them while they walked out.

As they left I realized it was only me and Wesley. Fuck. Now I was considering calling them back. I tried not to make eye contact but he was staring right at me. He slowly walked towards me and sat down in the chair beside the bed. There was an awkward silence for a few minutes but finally he broke the ice.

"Did I do this?" He asked looking down at my arm.

"What do you think?" I scoffed.

"Look, I'm really sorry for this.. I didn't think it would get that bad.." He apologized slowly looking up at me.
