"Kyle, get the first aid kit! micheal come help me out!, and Brian what are you doing?!" Andres yelled, frustrated and confused at the same time.
The boys had got to work, but Something Andres couldn't help but pick up on was the slight flinch from Lucas when Michael came close, he furrowed his eyebrow to which Michael shrugged.
They had successfully settled him down on the couch, the other boys slightly gasping at the state their youngest was in.
"thanks Kyle" Andres said as the first aid box was placed on the table, "Brian, call the Doctor"
"uh, sure" Brian replied getting out of his shock.
"we found out a lot of things andres" kyle
"huh? Thinks like what?"
"they are horrible"Brian said.
Andres spared his friends a glance
"what does that mean?" he asked.
"you.. You were right all along"
*****
"stop.. I'm fine" a small voice croaked out.
"shut up" Andres replied sternly, "you definitely aren't fine so spare me your opinion"he said as he began to clean the wounds, which consists of a black eye, broken nose bruised arm and probably a lot more than they thought.
"help me remove his shirt Michael" Andres didn't miss the hint of fear in Lucas' eyes, "what's wrong bud?hm?" Andres asked as he ran his fingers through Luca's hair..
All the boys gasped as Michael removed Luca's shirt.
"who did this?!" Michael was the first to speak,the 22 year old was fuming, causing Lucas to whimper.
"how? Why? When?" Kyle said shocked that they let this go this far, Brian paced about looking for someone to kill, and Andres just stayed put, whether it was shock or guilt he had no clue but one thing he was sure of, was head failed him, he had failed Lucas.
"that really looked bad" a voice spoke from behind them, apparently they had left the door open.
"let me check him out, Andres how did this happen?"the doctor asked.
"long story Doc" Kyle replied for him as the man was in no state of mind to answer.
"let's go Andy we need to show you what we found"
"yeah"Andres whispered unable to take his eyes off Lucas, he was supposed to protect him, but he let him down, he let him go through all this alone it was at that point he vowed he would protect and care for Lucas even if it was the last Thing he did.
****
Now, they were all seated in Michael's office, the silence becoming awkward before Kyle spoke.
"we found this" he said as he passed Andres a note book.
Andres glanced at the three of them in the room before speaking.
"uh, this is a diary?" he said confused as to why they called him all the way here to look at a diary.
"no just any diary, that's Luca's diary"
Andres' eyes widened before removing his gaze from the diary to this friends and back.
"you're not thinking of doing what I'm thinking your planning to do. Right?"
"I don't know what your thinking of, but one things for sure, we've read it. And I think you need to read it too, it's..its just-" before Michael could continue Kyle placed him hand on his shoulder for support earning a small smile. "we'll get through this" he whispered.
"b-but,its invasion of privacy" Andres said.
"oh come on Andy, that's what we've been saying for years,we've been pretending it was alright,that he was alright,but we were wrong, and if we have to invade his privacy to save him, then I have no regrets."
Brian said bitterly,
Andres sighed, this was it, the moment of truth.
He opened the first page it was dated three years ago, he began to read it, he read how neglected Lucas felt he read how he desperately tried to please them all,tears stinged his eyes like a bullet pain pierced his heart, he read how lonely Lucas was, he read how Lucas only smiled so they wouldn't worry, he read how Lucas blamed himself for everything that happened, he had read past five pages now, each incident scaring his mind.
"I.. I can't" he whispered.
"you have to, it's, we can't run from this too, this is the reality" Kyle said with tears in his eyes.
Andres nodded,it was time to face it, to face the music.

Hey diary, it's me again, I messed up Andy's mad at me, I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have given my opinion but I don't blame him or anyone I blame my self for not being good enough
(that's not true)-Andres thought.
He read how Lucas started taking cold baths after an incident with Brian, he read how he started gaming after Kyle rubbed it in his face he read how he stayed up at night after Michael complained about his nightmares, it was slowly tearing Andres apart, he feared one thing, what role did he have to play in this torment.
He read how, Lucas stared going to the club apparently they had welcomed him with opens arms unlike his friends that line did it, it broke him, tears flowed wetting the book, he read how Andy ignored him,
Andres closed the book not before noticing something.
I wish I was good enough. or probably dead
The date was what scared him, no it was horrifying
2020 20th of April.
