They were shocked, they had guilt all over there face.
"Lexi, did Arthur do this?" Andrew asked
"Yeah" I replied
All of their guilt was washed away and now filled with anger.
"Lexi is there anymore bruises like this that you're hiding" he asked
"No" I said
They knew I was lying
"Lexi stop lying" Ace said
I pulled the top of my shirt down right before my bra. There was another bruise right above it.
"You guys it's ok, I'll be fine" I said breaking the silence
"Lexi we are sorry, this shouldn't have happened" Ryan said
"It's ok, it already happened" I said
We all went to the kitchen and started eating
"Lexi, the basketball team has a practice a week after Christmas. The coach wants to see how well you work with the team, and see if you will fit in. Do you want to go?" Aidan asked
"Seriously, yes please" I said
"Ok I'll text her back" he said
We all finished eating, Ryan gave me an ointment for the bruising, and some medicine for the pain. I went off to bed. Tonight Jaden was sleeping in my room to make sure I don't have any nightmares. He waited until I fell asleep, then would leave my room. It was nice having my brothers here.
I woke up the next day, today was the worst of the bruises. It looked the worst and felt the worst. I had to sit and lay down in an awkward position to make sure it doesn't hurt. I got out of bed, walking in a weird way. I went downstairs and grabbed a bagel.
"Hey Lexi" Jaden said
"Hey" I replied
"How's the bruising" he asked
"Hurts like hell" I replied
"I've been through it, it will start feeling much better by tomorrow" he said
"Thanks" I replied
I grabbed my breakfast and went upstairs
I checked my groupchat
Hey, do you guys wanna go mini golfing later tonight-Audrey
Yeah I'm down-Jenna
Sure-Jack
Let me ask-Lexi
I went back downstairs to see Ace now in the kitchen.
I don't know if he'll let me especially since what happened
"Umm Ace" I said
"What's up Lexi" he said
"Could I go mini golfing with my friends" I asked
"No" he said
"Whyyy" I whined
"We literally just got you back, there's other people trying to get you, just like Arthur is" he said
"I'll be fine, I'm with my friend group. I'll be careful" I replied
"Lexi, I said no" ace
"We can't live in fear that someone gonna kidnap me 24/7. I can't be stuck in this house" I said
"Lexi get used to it" ace said walking away
He seriously thinks I'm gonna be stuck in this besides school.
