It had been almost two weeks now and Hope was still at the camp. Jaxon had sat next to her scar in the corner. ‘Sis I need to ask you something and I need the truth no bull shit cause I know when your lying.’

She swallowed hard. ‘Okay ask away.’

‘How long?’

‘How long what?’

‘Don’t play dumb with me Hope. How long has that fucker been using you as a punching bag?’

Tears pooled in her eyes slowly falling off the face.

‘I know this is hard for you sis but you need to be honest and truthful so I can deal with this and whoop his sorry ass.’

‘Since the first day of school?’

‘Did you tell anyone?’

She shock her head as a no.

‘And this Caleb guy?’

‘Don’t hurt him Jax he was doing his best. He was trying to protect me.’

‘Well he didn’t do a good enough job.’

‘He didn’t do it while he was around he waited til I was alone.’

‘I see.chat I ask why?’

‘I don’t know maybe he hates me as much as I hate him.’

He looked at scar who nodded. He nodded turning back to Hope. ‘That’s not excuse sis.’ He took her hands in his. ‘I called mom she knows you’ve been having trouble at school with bullies, she assumed it had stoped but it hadn’t had it?’

She shock her head to say no again.

‘I thought as much he hit you before I arrived didn’t he?’

Tears fell off her face as she nodded a yes.

‘You need to repot him angel before it fats any worse.’ Scar commented.

‘I..I can’t. They won’t believe me they only have mine and Caleb’s word against his and his dad won’t believe he did it neither will mom. He’s so far up his dads ass it’s unbelievable he won’t believe his own son is a bully. Maybe I should’ve kept my mouth shut and my opinions to myself then this wouldn’t be happening.’

‘You really think that sis?’

‘I don’t know what to think all I know is we hate each other and I need to fight him beck so I don’t look weak.’

They looked at each other and nodded.

‘Once you get the all clear we’ll begin your training . I warn you scar will push you hard to breaking point.’

‘And that’s the truth angel so be prepared to work hard any time you feel you’re struggling let me know and you can take a breather okay.’

‘Okay and thanks.’

‘Don’t mention it Angel.’

‘We best be going sis, we have a lot of stuff to do before training Monday.’

‘Don’t do anything stupid Jax.’

‘Who moi?’ He smirked. ‘Me never. Have faith in your older brother.’

They hugged before she had her painkillers laying down closing her eyes. They left her room closing the door silently behind them. ‘So, what’s the plan Jax?’

‘We’re going after the fucker and were going to teach him a lesson,’

He grinned evilly.

They walked out side getting into the car driving away from the camp.

Josh fell to the floor as the punch came hard and fast so much he had no time to react Caleb stood shocked he knew Hope’s brother was pissed but not this pissed maybe she’d confided in him and told him what had been going on. Josh slowly,pulled himself up the next punch hit him even harder. Scar watched from a distance in the jeep they hadn’t got long and it was a two hour ride back but neither of them expected him nit to be alone maybe this Caleb was nit the guy Hope thought he was seen as he was with Josh when he clearly was as angry as him.

He plunged into Josh almost leaving him for dead. He turned himself to Caleb who’d just stood their unresponsive and shocked not his usual self he was usually so composed and had Joshua’s back, nit this time. ‘And here I was thinking you thought slot for my sister.’

‘I do.’

‘Yet your here with him.’

‘We just left our friends. We..’

‘I thought you were different but your just like him.’

‘No I’m not. I’ll always protect her.’

‘You’ve already done a fantastic job of that.’

‘You going to beat me too?’

‘Nope. I’m going to let you call the ambulance, but be warned if you tell them who done this I won’t hesitate in finding you snd pounding your ass are we clear?’

‘Crystal.’

Jax nodded and walked away.

He got into the car and scar piled away. ‘So who was that he was with?’

‘Hope’s other half.’

‘And he’s hanging with that prick?’

‘Their friends.’

‘He needed to get his priorities back in check.’

He nodded in agreement the ambulance passed them as they left the town heading out towards the city.
