I woke up and saw my box was gone again. I jumped out of bed and frantically searched my room. I was freaking out, these people didn't need to know what was in that box.
"Landan, kid who are these people in this picture?" I looked up and saw Leon holding a picture from that box.
"YOU HAVE MY BOX, GIVE IT BACK!" I shout whilst running at him.
Leo pushed me back and looked confused.
"Not until you answer my question." Leo demanded.
"None of your beeswax." I tell him still trying to get the picture.
"The box burns, then." Leo smirks evily. "And we both know Calv will gladly do it."
I was now crying.
"Please just give it, it's my family." I cry out trying to.get it.
He handed me the picture looking more confused, I knew there would be questions tomorrow but I got the picture and that's all I care about right now. I took it over to my desk and punched the punching bag right next to it.
I thought he might have left but I turned around and saw Leo was standing there looking surprised. I roll my eyes.
"Now you have to tell me." Leo took a seat on my bed.
"No." I flatly say.
"We all got secrets, I get it I have some my brothers don't even know about my mom and me.* Leo looked down and upset.
I knew that face I'm usually wearing it. I walked over and sat on my bed with him.

"That's my older and bolder brothers.." I whisper.
Leo looks at me shoked.
"They're all in a coma because my dad fought them illegally against other people and the got put in a coma. That there is my dad..... he.. he fought me when he didn't have them. There's my mom she just recently found out about this. He would beat us if we lost a fight." I was about to start crying, but it felt good to let it out.
I watched Leo reach in his pocket and pull out a folded up picture.

"That's me, Gavin and Calvin. Theres my dad... and the devil herself my mom. Calvin doesn't know I think but my mom snapped after Gav was born she raped me and beat Gav from time to time, I don't know what she did to Cal if she even did anything he won't talk about it. Mom got pregnant after she did what she did to me and put them up for adoption, she's now in jail like ur dad but I'm still scared so I build up a barrier like you." Leo let everything and he squeezed the picture like half of him wanted to rip it to shreds.
I leaned on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry to hear that happened to you."
"Me, your brothers are in a coma, you were illegally fought, and you got abused, kid I'm sorry for you, you had it a thousand times worse." Leo said.
I took off my shirt and Leo stared at me shoked.
"My dad and fights... he started hurting when my brothers went off. The youngest out of them have been out for almost 3 years." I stared down wanting to be with them.
"Hey Lan there's always that chance they will wake up." Leo told me with a sympathetic smile. I just nodded my head not really believing this.
I watched as he shook his head and took his shirt off I saw a couple scars.
"My mom did this when "I" got her pregnant." Leo was shaking with anger, he got up and punched the punching bag.
We both put our shirts on and sat there in silence for a while until I spoke up.
"Do you think you can get Calvin to ease up on me a little." I asked, these guys were my second chance at older brothers I didn't want him hating me.
"Sure... lil bro." I smiled looking up and he was smiling down at me and ruffling my hair.
I leaned on him and whispered to him.
"Thanks for giving me a second chance at brothers." I close my eyes.
"No chance, we are brothers and those guys will be ok, trust me." He told me as he rubbed my back, I smiled and slowly fell asleep taking a nap.
Time Skip
I woke up around dinner time, and ran downstairs.
"Hey lan can you go get Calvin please." Mr. Max asked.
I ran back up the stairs and opened Calvin's door within knocking. When I walked in I saw Cal had something engraved and burned in each of his shoulders. He turns around staring at me pissed off.
"WHAT I SAY ABOUT ROOMS AND KNOCKING!" He shouted at me, I didn't listen thought I was staring at the scar and the burn mark.
Leo's POV
I ran when I heard Calvin scream at the kid, when I got there I stood next to Lan, and soon Gav and dad were behind us and so was Landan's mom Mrs. Lynn.
"What happened?" I asked and dad and Gav looked at me like I was dumb.
Landan pointed to Cal's shoulders and I knew what was going on.
Dad kneeled down to him, and started explaining.
"Landan, now my boys mama is alot like your dad evil and in jail. She hurt my boys, like your dad hurt you, Leo got raped, Gavin got beat, and Calvin got branded." Dad explained.
"Wait how do you know what my Dad did? MOM DID YOU TELL HIM, I WAS GOING TO TELL THEM WHEN I WAS READY! THANKS ALOT!" Before his mom or anyone cold explain Landan ran off crying.
"This is my fault I shouldn't have told you, I should have let him." Mrs. Lyn said was her eyes being to water.
"It's not your fault dear, he just needs some time." Dad assured her.
"Yeah it not your fault, he just needs some time like we did." Calvin says, and me and Gavin nodded in agreement.
