It's been a day that I've been here. It's weird to be with a family that loves each other. They don't care about money or what other people think. As long if they have each other their happy. That's something my parents never could do.

They wanted money and a good name. I don't think they were always like that. My mom was really nice when we were little kids, and my dad would take us out to the park. He would play football with Dylan and push me at the swings, but when he got a promotion, that's when it all change. He was more at his job so that he could get more money.

We went less to the park, and when he got home, he was cranky because he was tired. After a while, he got a new friend at his job. He invited us to the club for the first time, and that friend was Erick's dad. At first, it was fun. They were friendly people initially, but after a while, they change, so as my parents.

They would go more to the parties or buy expensive stuff for themself. I think you know the rest by now.

But Ben's family is different.

They lost his mom, so they know that family is important because it can all come crashing down in one second. Even that it's just a day, I miss my brother. I don't know if my mom and dad told him they kicked me out of the house and where I'm am now. Maybe he got into a fight with dad.

Ben and I were lying in his hammock that was hanging in his yard. Just enjoying our time together. He showed me his house and the outside. Let's just say that his yard is enormous. It was getting dark outside, so we decided to watch the sunset in the hammock that looked over the cliff where the sun was in the evening.

" Ben, your family, is so different in comparing with mine," I said, playing with his hand. I trace my fingers around him, then back to the back of his hand. A chuckle escapes his lips, kissing the top of my head.

" Is it a good thing or a bad?" He answers back.

" A good one. You guys care about each other so much. The only one in my family who did that was my brother." A sigh escapes my lips while putting his hand down. " Lena, That's different now." I look up at him with a frown.

" I care about you, Paige and Sarah care about you too, so that are four people who care about you." I gave him a small smile before laying my head on his chest. A few minutes later, a car came driving to the farmhouse.

" Who's that?" Ben asked when we got out of the hammock.

I looked closer and recognized the car in just a sec. " It's my brother." He parked the car when we came walking to it.

" Lena, you're okay." He said, pulling me in a hug.  It was nice to see him again and knowing that he still cares. " Why wouldn't I been okay?" I asked when we pulled back.

" Mom and dad didn't say where you were. They just said that you were gone out of our lives forever." I saw the guilt in his eyes when he told me.

" Did they tell you everything?" I asked.

He nodded his head, pulling me in a hug again. " And I really don't care what they say. Your still my baby sister. I just don't know why Erick would say something like that and his parents." I pulled away, looking down.  I think it's time for him to know what happened that night, but I don't see how he would react.

" And before I forget it. I brought you some of your clothes." He took a bag from his car, giving it to me. " Thanks. I didn't bring anything with me." I had the clothes on that I was wearing yesterday.

" Dylan, there's something I have to tell you about Erick and why I did what I did." He looked confused but nodded his head.

" Here, give me the bag. I'm gone take it inside, so you two can get some alone time. " Ben said, taking the bag from my hand. He walked away, leaving us alone.

" So what do you want to tell me?" Dylan asked.

I bite the inside of my cheek, looking at him." Do you remember that night that mom, dad, and I went to the club while you were sick, and I had to walk home alone?" My stomach was in a knot. This was really hard to tell him, but he's my older brother. He has to know it. Maybe he'll understand why I try to kill myself.

" Yeah, the next day, you were a little distance from us." The day after, I didn't talk much against them, I felt so ashamed, and I didn't know what to do. I try to tell him, but I didn't dare to do it. " Yeah, when I walked home, I ran into Erick and his friends." This is going well. Come on. You can do this. Just tell him what happened.

" Before I continue, there is something you should know about Erick. He isn't a nice guy like he seems to be. When we're alone, he tries to touch me and do stuff. He's really mean towards other people." Dylan looked surprised and shocked, but I continue.

" That night, he and his friends were drunk. He was an ass, and when I said that, he has to let me go because he was a little too touchy with me. He slapped and dragged me to his car. They drove us to his house, and when we got there, he dragged me to his room..." I trailed off when I was by the hardest part to tell.

" Lena, don't tell me that he raped you." I didn't say anything. I just nodded my head while a tear stream down my face. He pulled me into a hug stroking my hair. " I'm so sorry, Lena, that's why you didn't want to be alone with him the last time. Wait, did he do something then, because you looked really scared when I found you."

" He tries it again, but I push him off and run out the room before he could," I explained, pulling back from the hug. " That son of a bitch, I trusted him, and he did that." He was made, made at himself and at Erick.

" Don't tell him I that I told you that please." He shook his head no.

" Lena, I can't do that. You have to go to the police. " This time, I shook my head no. " I can't. His dad has friends there, and they are gone. Say that I made it up because I was in a mental facility."  He runs his hand through his hair, letting out a sigh.

" Okay, Let me think about it for a night, and I will call you tomorrow, okay?" I give him a small smile before hugging him again. " Yeah, thank you." When we pulled away, we said our goodbyes before he drove off.

He was angry. I saw it in his eyes. I just hope that he doesn't do anything stupid.
