Chapter Eight
Violet (POV)
I sat down on the couch and the two wolves laid down next to me on the ground. My brothers sat across from me and my dad came to sit next to me. I took a breath and looked down at my hands and started to speak.
"It all started when I was seven years old. Mia started to neglect me, pretending I wasn't there when I was 7 and a half I found out that she's been seeing a guy named Chad.
He convinced her to start slapping me to teach me, when I turned 8 they got married and he moved in with us I got "punished" for every little thing that I did wrong. They were using drugs and alcohol and they were never sober.
They would let me go buy them the drugs or the alcohol and if I refused they would let me sleep outside and never let me eat anything for a week or sometimes two.
At first, the punishment was only slapped through the face and calling me a mistake or slut when I did something wrong but as time passed the abuse and "punishing" got worse, and the punishing also got more creative. They would use knives and broken bottles to cut me, they would kick me and punch me, they even let their friends abuse me.
They would make me do everything in the house from cleaning, cooking to getting money to buy food, and if I didn't do it right they would punish me.
Chad t-" I paused and took a breath my dad took my hand in his and I got the courage to continue. "Chad used to touch me and usually when he tried to take it further something or someone would always interrupt him.
After a while, I couldn't take it anymore, so I spend most of my day out of the house and I would sometimes sleep at the De Luca's because the twins Caleb and Jaxton are my best friend, I even had my own room there but one day Chad showed up and demanded that I come back home otherwise he will make their lives hell that night when I went back to the house I almost died. So I would usually stay one night there and the rest of the week I would spend at the Du Luca's
The twins were the only ones who knew about the abuse and they tried to help but I would always say no"
At the end of my story, I squeezed dad's hand, and slowly looking up, I saw my brother in tears and the 3 oldest faces held guilt
"Please don't blame yourself, I can see the guilt in your faces but it isn't your fault I went through that." Said looking at them with my tears running down my face and a small smile
I was smiling because I was safe with my brother and father and I was smiling because I don't have to deal with abuse anymore.
Oliver had more tears than the rest of my brothers if that's possible he stood up and ran out of the room but not before punching the wall Damian was going to go after him but I spoke before he could
"I'll go talk to him." And with that, I stood up and walked around trying to find him I found him in the music room. Sitting by the window with tears running down his face
"You know this place is pretty amazing and huge," I said laughing at the end he looked at me with a bit of shock and amazement
"Yeah I guess " he replied and tried to wipe off his tears but more just came running down. I walked towards the piano and asked
"Do you know how to sing??" He nodded
"Okay great come here," I said patting the cushion next to me for him to sit. As he sat down I asked him do he know the words to Stay by Rihanna nodded again I started to play 'Stay by Rihanna' on the piano
We sang together and soon forgot our tears and worries once we were done sing we heard clapping behind up we both turned around fast and saw the whole family looking at us. He hugged me.
"Thanks, little sis I needed that. I'm also sorry for the way I acted when you got here," he said I gave him a big hug and said it's okay we got a lot of compliments. After a while of just sitting and talking to my family, I got sleepy and laid my head down on Oliver's shoulder. I heard him chuckled and the next thing I know is being lifted from the couch.
Oliver (POV)
When she told us that story I got mad at myself for being a dick and a bad big brother. I got up from where I sat and punched the wall before running out of the living room. As I run I saw the music room so I went in. I remember how mom and I used to play and sing together.
I went to the window and sat on the chair tears ran down my face as I remember the promise I made to Violet before she was kidnapped. I couldn't protect her or our mom.
Mom died in a car crash 4 years ago that the Russian caused. Elliot and I were with her in the car but only had minor injuries. The car was upside down when I woke up I looked at the back seat to see if Elliot was okay. He was on his back playing on the ground unconscious.
I looked at mom and saw that she was conscious and trying to get out of her seat, I got out of mine and helped her she was laying in my arms while I called an ambulance and dad when a guy opened one of the doors he crunched down sitting on his feet with the gun pointing at me and mom after a minute he shot her and gave me a message to give to dad.
She died in my arms and the lasting I promised her was that no matter what I will find Vi and love her and irritate her as it is my job as a big brother
But somehow I broke that promise as well because I was mean to my sister, my baby sister. How can I make this right??
I got out of my head when I heard her voice "You know this place is pretty amazing and huge," she said laughing at the end I looked at her with a bit of shock because why would she be here and amazed because she is amazed by this room
"Yeah, I guess " I replied and tried to wipe off my tears but more just came running down. She walks towards the piano and asked me
"Do you know how to sing??" I nodded
"Okay great come here," she said patting the cushion next to her for me to sit. As I sat down she asked me do I know the song and lyrics for Stay by Rihanna I nodded again and she started to play the song on the piano as we sang I couldn't help but smile and look at her she is truly our Angel
When we stopped singing we heard clapping behind up we both turned around fast and saw the whole family looking at us. I ignored them and hugged her and said
"Thanks, little sis I needed that. I'm also sorry for the way I acted when you got here yesterday" She gave me a big hug and said it's okay. We got a lot of compliments. After a while of just sitting and talking I felt her laying her head on my shoulder. I chuckled and then picked her up and carried her to her room. I let Elliot open the door for me and her as I set her gently down and throw a fluffy blanket over her.
"Goodnight my little butterfly," I said kissing her head and leaving the room only to see my brothers there with shocked expressions
"What?!" I whispered yelled
"Nothing it's just we've never seen you being that soft before," Chase said I scoffed at him and then went to my room to sleep off the day
~~~
Today is Friday and dad told us we can't skip another day of school. I went out of my room only to see my baby sister walking past me she greeted me with a tight hug and I hugged her back.
"You look handsome, where are you going?" She asked me
"Ugg dad said we have to go to school today we already missed so many days," I said a little irritated
"Oo sorry for you," she push me by the shoulder and ran off to the dining room where everyone is waiting
"Hey, guys. Elliot, you have to take your car today I am taking my bike" I said as I walk up to the table
"Wait-Wait you have a bike can I see, please," Vi said shocking me 'does she like bikes so much?'
"Umm sure, maybe we can go for a ride later," I said giving her a smile
"What, this so unfair why does she get to ride on your bike but we don't," Elliot said
"Well simple she's my favorite sibling," I said getting my keys, After saying goodbye I left for school
Violet (POV)
After the twins left, Liam and Damian also left so it was only me, Dad, and Chase here but 'Bikes' that's the one thing on my mind. I have to talk to dad to get my bikes here.
"Hey dad can I talk to you" when I called him that he smiled and looked at me and then back at the paper he was reading
"Sure sweetheart, What is it?"
"Well I was wondering I you can get my bikes from Los Angeles to here" After I said that Dad and Chase snapped their heads towards me
"You ride motorcycles?" Chase ask and I nodded my head
"Umm sure hun, I'll see what I can do," dad said hesitantly
"Ooh this is going to be fun when the boys found this out," Chase said to himself but I heard him I shake my head and went upstairs to call Caleb. I locked my door and let turned on the shower so that they can't hear me
"WTF Vi were the hell have you been 3 days and nothing"
"Hey, Yeah sorry about that umm so a lot has happened I told my family everything about the abuse and I was in the hospital yesterday, I'm sorry I scared you. Did you at least missed me?"
"Wow shit, sorry I yelled, what did the doctor say and we all miss you"
"Aww apology excepted, the doctor said that I have two broken ribs and a lot of other stuff but I'm fine"
"Okay, ooh before I forget our Maths teacher was not impressed at all about our prank we pulled." He said laughing
"Wait seriously?? But that was so funny. You remember our best prank ever?"
"How can I forget we blow up the principles office and got a two weeks suspension"
"Hehe yeah but it was worth it, I have to go now but talk to you later"
"Talk to you later, bye miss yah"
"Bye miss yah more"
After I hanged up I got in the shower and then started to unpack. I put my weapons in my closet under a secret panel I made in my drawers. After that, I unpacked my art stuff and put them in a corner of my room by the window. Next was my clothes and books. 'Yes, I like reading books my favorite one is how to kill a mockingbird' I got out my photos of my friends and put the frame next to my bed.
