Pidge scowled as she handed the credits to her tormentor "Here! Hopefully you can use it to buy a face!"
The big bully sneered as he pocketed his cash "You know you should be a little nicer to me"
"And just why should I do that?" Pidge huffed but then grunted as he grabbed her by the collar.
"Or I'll show you these big hands aren't just for show!"
"Let me go Drake!" Pidge yelled as she kicked out but her tiptoes just barely grazed his knees.
This had been going on for a while now and Pidge still hadn't told anyone about it, that was her problem, she always tried to fix her problems by herself even when she was in over her head.
"Or you'll do what?" Drake grinned. "Hit me with your brain power?" He asked mockingly.
"At least I HAVE a brain!" Pidge snapped, her eyes burning with bitter hatred.
"What was that runt?" Drake growled coldly.
"You heard me!" Pidge scowled, the next thing she knew she had been thrown again a wall! Knocking the wind out of her! She fell to the ground and coughed up a little blood.
"You know…" Drake began, pressing a foot against her abdomen to keep her on the ground. "…I'm surprised your brothers haven't given me a call yet?"
"Meaning?" Pidge asked, trying to keep the dignity in her voice.
"Well I thought that you would have squealed to them by now about how the big bad boy is picking on you" Drake taunted.
Pidge snorted as she pushed against his foot "Unlike you I don't want to be any trouble for my family!"
"You mean your foster family right?" Drake said with a cruel smile. "Everyone knows that you're the adopted one"
Pidge's eyes widened in horror, she always knew that Drake was a jerk but he had no idea he could be so cruel!
"I'm not adopted! I might not look a lot like my parents but I'm not adopted!" Pidge snapped, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that" Drake smirked. "So how do you explain how you look nothing like them?"
Pidge closed her eyes tightly, she couldn't explain that! She couldn't stop the growing feeling in his chest that he was right… suddenly she felt Drakes foot leave her abdomen, Pidge slowly opened her eyes "Hunk…?"
"Hey Pidgeon" Hunk smiled as he knelt down and gently got Pidge to her feet "Are you okay?" He asked, checking his little sister over to make sure she didn't have any wounds.
"Some bruising but I'm fine…" Pidge muttered, her pride was more bruised though.
Hunk gave her a soft smile before turning to glare at Drake. "This, is your ONLY warning!" He growled, pointing a finger at him. "Stay away from Pidge or else!"
"Or else what?" Drake scoffed, shaking off the dizziness he had felt when Hunk had shoulder tackled him. "Everyone knows that you're a big softy"
"True!" Hunk said with a bright smile, his exterior suddenly becoming a lot brighter. "But I can't say the same for my brothers.
It was then that Drake felt a pair of hands clamp down on his shoulders and squeeze tightly, he shuddered as he felt two dark presences at a side each.
"Hello Drake" Keith hissed, spitting out venom with each syllable.
"Still picking on kids smaller than you?" Lance added coldly. "Lets see if we can fix that hmmm?"
While Keith and Lance were dealing their vigilante justice, Hunk had taken Pidge to one side to have a talk with her.
"Why didn't you tell us?" He asked, his arms crossed across his chest, he wasn't smiling but at the same time he wasn't frowning either.
"It was my problem…I can't rely on you guys to fix my problems" Pidge began her weak argument.
"So you were just planning to pay him off forever?" Hunk asked, his voice gave no anger away but it did stir up an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of the girls stomach.
"W-well I would have come up with something eventually!" Pidges tone gave away her desperation.
"Listen Katie!" Hunk raised his voice and narrowed his eyes a little. "This wasn't YOUR problem! It was OUR problem! We're a family, when something like this happens it affects all of us. Did you really think that nobody would notice when you began acting strange? When you suddenly got that you thought nobody noticed? Or…" he paused for a moment to breathe in through his nose "…that you stole money from moms purse?"
Pidge gasped and covered her mouth "Y-You know about that?" She asked, tears of shame appeared in the corner of her eyes.
"That's what made me realize that whatever was going on was serious" Hunk looked at her sadly. "We're a family, you should feel safe enough that you should be able to come to us with these sorts of things"
Pidge collapsed to her knee's tears were now freely flowing from her eyes and dripping onto the ground. "I'm sorry…I'm…so…sooo….sorry" She said between soft sobs.
Hunk knelt down and gathered his little sister in his arms and let her cry over his shoulder for a while.
"I'll make it up to you" She sniffled out once she had gotten the majority of her pent up emotions out of her system.
"You can make it up to us by being honest from now on" Hunk said with a warm smile as he used a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.
"I will, I promise I'll come to you guys from now on" Pidge nodded.
"Good" Hunk smiled and got to his feet, offering Pidge his hand. "Now come on, let's go home"
Pidge bit her lip sheepishly and blushed a little "Hunk, can you please carry me? I'm really tired"
"Sure thing sis" Hunk smiled as he lifted Pidge onto his back. "Pidgeon?"
"Hm?" Pidge asked as she made herself comfortable.
"I love you, you know that right?"
"I love you Hunky-dory" Pidge said softly, kissing his cheek, something she hadn't done since she was a toddler.
