This is my first time writing. In this story Josh is going to be Riley and Auggie's older brother.

Riley's POV

Beep beep ..I roll over and turn off my alarm before my parents and "him" wake up to my alarm. I walk out of my room and go to Auggies's room to wake him up.

"Auggie,wake up." I whispered

"I'm up." he said

I walk out and go to the bathroom. I strip out of my clothes and get in the shower and feel the hot water on my sore body. I think back to when everything was a little better where I had the most loving parents that would make sure we were ok all the time and when Maya needed a breath of fresh air from everything we were there to make sure she was ok. Now I just want Maya here for my own selfish reasons. Having her around really makes me forget about everything going on. She is an amazing friend with her own problems and she dosent need mine on top of hers.

I finish and get out of the shower and reach for my towel and don't feel it. Great just great. I get out to get my phone to call Josh and remember I left it on my bedside table. I can't yell, that will definitely wake them up. I was just about to dart across the hallway to my room when Auggie came out of his room.

"Thank goodness.' I whispered. "Auggie, can you bring me a towel?"

"Sure but you owe me." he said.

"I do every morning when I wake you up, now go get my towel please."

We were done eating breakfast and were hoping to leave before they woke up. Especially "him". We went to go get our bags and when we were walking to the door we hear "him".

"Aw, isn't that sweet you thought you could leave without any love from me?"

When he was walking toward us, we hear

"Maya."

Auggie runs to the door to let her in.

Josh's POV

Thank you Maya for saving us again.

"What up losers?"

"Come on Maya."

As we are walking to the subway Maya and Riley are just chatting away. I'm glad to see them both so care free right now. I think back to when all this started and can't seem to think of when our parents went from the sweet loving parents that everyone wants to these people I despise. I don't know why its happening but I will protect my siblings the best I can.

Before we part ways at school I pull Riley away for a second to ask what happened when I was at work last night.

"Nothing." she lied.

"Why are you lying to me, I'm on your side here."

"Nothing happened to Auggie that's all that matters."

"No, its not. Tell me NOW." I demanded

"Look I have to get to class and Maya is probably wondering where I am, see you at lunch."

"Riley-" she cuts me off.

"Enough, I said I'm fine, see you at lunch."

All I know as she walks off is if my "dad" let "him" do what I think he did to her I will be going to jail for murder.

Rileys POV

I know if I tell Josh what happened Auggie and me wont have our protector anymore because he will be in jail for murder.

I hoped you liked it. Please review. I made some edits in this chapter.
