First Night

•Alex's POV•

A couple hours later, Mom and Greg came home with dinner. As I was walking into the kitchen, I accidentally bumped into Kade. Before I could apologize, he shoved me against the wall.

I groaned in pain. Kade smirked down at me and laughed.

"You are as weak as your look."

As he walked off into the kitchen, I took in a breath. I know he's going to be a big problem in the future.

I sat down in a chair next to Liam, and Greg handed me a plate that had steak and vegetables on it. I ate silently while everyone else made conversation.

"Have you made yourself at home here, Alex?" Greg questioned politely.

"Yeah. Thank you for welcoming into your home." I said smiling.

I really like Greg. He is a very nice man, and he treats my mom good. For the few days I've known him; we get along really well.

"How are the boys treating you?" Greg asked.

I knew this question was coming. I looked down; not knowing what to say. Liam pinched my thigh as if telling me to answer. I bit my tongue to hold back a scream that I wanted to let out. Who knew a little pinch could hurt so badly!?

Greg cleated his throat, "Alex?"

"Oh. Yes! They've been treating me very well. They helped me unpack and everything." I said smiling.

Greg looked unsure, but he nodded. Once I finished eating, I asked to be excused then put my plate in the sink. The boys finished before me, so they have already been excused.

When I got upstairs to my room, I noticed my bedroom door was open. I looked inside and saw Liam sitting at my desk. He saw me and stood up. I turned around and tried to run downstairs to my mom, but I ran into someone.

I fell right onto my butt and groaned. I looked up to see Grant laughing.

"Why are you in such a rush?" He asked.

I looked behind me to see Liam coming towards me, so I got up and tried to run.

"Grab her, Grant." Liam said.

Grant grabbed me swiftly and threw me over his shoulder. I shrieked and started hitting his back. Grant just continued laughing. He followed Liam into what I assume is his room. Liam shut the door and told Grant to set me down.

Grant put me down on Liam's bed. I tried to get up, but Liam sat on top of me.

"Grant get off of me!" I groaned. "You way like a thousand pounds!"

"Stop whining baby." Grant teased.

Liam came over me, and I shifted uncomfortably. I could barley breathe with Grant sitting on me, so I tried to not to start freaking out.

"You almost got us in trouble at dinner." Liam said.

I didn't answer. Instead I just kept trying to get Grant off of me.

"Grant get off of her." Liam told him.

Grant obeyed quickly and helped me up. As soon as I was standing upright, I was lifted off my feet once again. I noticed Liam grabbed the collar of my shirt and was holding me against the wall.

"Put m-me down!" I said in a shaky voice.

I was at least a foot off the ground. Liam just stared at me straight in my eyes.

"Do not ever snitch on us. Got it?" Liam said in a low voice.

My heart was beating out of my chest as I nodded quickly.

"I said got it?" Liam snapped.

"Yes!" I said loudly. "Please put me down, Liam."

He dropped me to the floor and pointed to his door.

"Both of you. Get out."

Grant and I hurried out. Grant looked down at me with sorry eyes. I could tell it was a non-verbal apology. I just looked down and walked to my room.

I took a hot shower then went to bed. This is my first night in the Hensley household, and I already hate it.
