"We can do some serious damage to him if you want." Joel says standing up from his seat.

"He's right." Mark stands up too, "We got you on anything alright?"

I smile weakly wiping away the tears that for the past couple of hours haven't been able to stop, "Thanks you guys. But I don't need you to beat him up. That's not going to take away from my pain."

"He would deserve it." Oscar mutters.

"Yeah!" Joel walks over to me and takes a seat next to me, "I don't like seeing you like this Adrianna. It hurts me." he wraps an arm around me, I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I know. But I swear i'll be fine in a few days. I just need to get him out of my head." I close my eyes so that the tears won't start up again.

I open my eyes but it doesn't work. Hot tears still stream down my face. "You see! This is not okay! He needs to fucking pay for what he did to you Anna!" Mark shouts.

I shake my head frantically, "Please don't. It won't make things better. I'll still be hurt. Promise me you guys won't do anything to him." I look around the room giving all three of my brothers warning looks.

"We promise." they all say in unison.

I sigh in relief, "Thank you."

"Has he called you since this morning?" Joel asks from next to me, his arm still wrapped around me.

I lay my head on his shoulder once again, "I'm not sure. I turned off my phone after he wouldn't stop calling. Can you pass me it Mark? It's in my purse." I ask.

"No! You're going to try and call him back or something." Mark narrows his eyes at me.

"I kinda hate the guy right now Mark. I can assure you I won't try calling him."

He rolls his eyes but hesitantly passes me my phone, "That won't happen until later tonight anyway." I say quietly. I turn on my phone and my eyes widen when I see how many missed calls i've gotten in the past ten hours, "Eighty-five. He's called me Eighty-five times." I say in disbelief.

"When was the last call?" Oscar asks, his jaw clenched.

"Five minutes ago."

"I swear if he calls one more time i'll answer that phone mysel-" Mark is cut off by ringing.

I cringe, closing my eyes. "Hand. Me. The. Phone." Mark forces out through a clenched jaw.

I hesitate to hand it over but eventually do. "What the hell do you want?" Mark grits out.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF YOUR BULLSHIT EXCUSES AS TO WHY YOU CHEATED ON MY LITTLE SISTER. STOP CALLING HER OR I PROMISE YOU I'LL FLY OUT TO COLOMBIA AND PERSONALLY BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!" he shouts into the phone.

I can somewhat hear what Juan says "I love her man. You don't understand what happened. Please put her on the phone."

"She doesn't want to speak with you. Not now, not ever. She's done with you. Stop calling her. Ah, y no pienses ni por un segundo que no voy a cumplir mi promesa si intentas llamar de nuevo." with the tone of voice that he just used even i'm scared. And he's my own brother!
(Oh, and dont think for one second think that I wont fufill my promsie if you try calling again.)

He hangs up the phone, "I need a drink." he walks over to Oscars fridge and grabs a beer, "Want one?" he offers to both Oscar and I. I shake my head but Oscar accepts.

"Well, I'm sure that scared him off. At least he won't be calling any time soon." I sigh.

"And if he does, you tell us." Oscar warns.
