"Haylei, Lauren! Time for school!" Bobby called up the stairs. He put out two bowls of oatmeal and went back into the living room. He sat down on his chair and grabbed his beer.
"Man, why you drinking beer this early?" Jack asked. Bobby shrugged his shouldes. With a chuckle, Jack turned back to the TV.
"Ahhh!" screamed a voice. Jack jumped up from the couch and ran into the hallway. He caught Haylei just as she fell down the last step. Lauren came running to the foot of the stairs and looked down at her sister and brother. She burst into laughter, gripping the wall for support. Jack stared widly as his sister, his eyes going even wider when Haylei began to giggle.
"You dork! I told you not to walk backward out the bathroom!" Lauren cried. She laughed as he sister made a face. Jack looked over to Bobby who was staring at both girls as though they were crazy.
"I'm really living up the nickname Ditz!" Haylei laughed. Lauren and Jack both laughed. Shaking his head, Bobby took a sip of his beer and went back into the living room.
"You ok?" Jack asked his little sister. Haylei nodded while wiping tears out of the corners of her eyes. With another chuckle, Jack kissed his sisters forehead and led her to the kitchen.
At school
"Haylei, wait! I can explain!" a boy called out as he chased after the young girl. Haylei turned to face her boyfriend.
"Explain what Jesse? Are you gonna tell me that you fell and you lips just happened to land on Kacie's?" Haylei asked with tears in her mismatched eyes. Jesse tried to grab her arm. But Haylei pulled back, Jesse grunted angrily before lunging at her. He caused them to fall backward into an empty classroom. Jesse pinned Haylei's arms to the floor. "Get off of me!" screamed Haylei. Jesse fought her legs down and looked into her eyes.
"I love you Haylei! I'm sorry I kissed Kacie! I thought my feelings for her were gone!" Jesse told her. Breaking an arm free, Haylei struck Jesse across his face. Caught by suprise, Jesse fell backward, grabbing his cheek.
"That's no excuse Jesse! Your so pathetic!" Haylei spat. She stood off the ground and ran out of the room. Lauren was getting ready to go into her second period class when Haylei running up the hall.
"Sissy what's wrong!" Lauren asked. Haylei ignored her and ran passed her and their teacher.
Minutes later, Haylei ran through the front door of her house and past the living room upstairs, upon hearing the door open, Angel jumped off the couch. Jack looked at him as a door upstairs slammed shut. Angel shrugged and the two brothers ran upstairs. Grabbing a gun from his pocket, Angel snuck up to Jack's door, which was shut. Angel slowly turned the knob, opening the door with caution. Jack pulled his gun hand back as Haylei's shaking body came into veiw. He looked at his older brother with worry before walking over to the sobbing little girl on the floor. Angel walked past Jack, bending to pick up his little sister.
"What happened Lei?" Angel asked. He rocked her back and forth, shooting worried glances at Jack. Haylei pulled back and dried her tears. Looking at Jack, she smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling too good. Then I had a fight with Faye!" she lied. She couldn't tell her brothers about Jesse. It took them so long to truly trust him, how bad would that look?
Bobby pulled the car up to the high school and shifted into park. Looking into the rear-veiw mirror, he stuck his tongue out at Haylei. Haylei giggled and stuck her tongue back. Jack ruffled her hair before getting out of the car with Bobby. Haylei sighed as she watched her brothers disappear into the school. A pounding at the window made her jump. She looked out and saw Jesse standing there. Throwing open the other door, Haylei ran around the car. Jesse reached out, locking his arm around her waist. He hauled her back pinned her to the car.
"Haylei, I love you! I always have! And if you think for once second, I'm letting you get away, you are so wrong!" Jesse hissed. He tightened his hold on her wrist. Looking back, he saw Lauren and her brothers coming down the stairs. "Oh, and don't say a word to your brothers!" He let go of wrists and looked at Bobby and Jack. Lauren saw her sisters face and looked at Jesse.
"Hey Jester man!" Bobby said. He high fived Jesse before getting in the car. Jack followed. Lauren stayed behind, standing by door. Jesse grabbed Haylei's head, bringing her lips to his in heated kiss.
"Remember what I said Lei!" Jesse whispered. He smiled at Lauren and waved goodbye to the guys. Then turning on his heels, he walked away. Haylei blinked back the tears before turning to Lauren.
"You ok?" mouthed Lauren, Bobby stepped out of the car and looked at the two pre-teens.
"Of course! Why wouldn't be, I just got to see my baby!" Haylei said. She walked past Lauren and got into the front seat. Laurnen glared at Jesse's retreating back as she got into the car. As they drove on, Lauren looked at her math book, Jack closed his eyes and hummed and Bobby kept stealing glances at Haylei out of the corner of his eyes. Haylei hadn't said a word or smiled since they left the school. He pulled the car to a stop in front of the doctors office. Getting out, he went to Haylei's side and opened her door. She went to step out, but Bobby picked her up. Lauren giggled as Jack did the same to her. The two brothers carried their sisters into the doctors office. It was time for Haylei routine check-up. Bobby sat Haylei in a chair and they waited for the doctor.
Fifteen Minutes Later
Haylei walked out into the waiting room with the doctor's hand on her shoulder. He looked at Jack and Bobby who stood up. Handing Haylei two pink slips, he smiled.
"You girls take these and get some ice cream! I wanna talk to your brothers!" the doctor said. Haylei and Lauren smiled as they ran toward the cafeteria. He turned to their brothers with a serious look.
"Whats up?" Bobby asked. He looked at Jack and then back to the doctor. The doctor looked down at the ground, not knowing where to start.
"I'm very concered about some severe brusies on Haylei's writs, legs and back!" The doctor said. He looked up, making eye contact with Jack. Jack's eyes widened and the doctor frowned.
"Are you tryin' to accuse us of abusing our little sister!" Bobby asked. The doctor shook his head, that wasn't at all what he was saying.
"No, of course not! But these brusies looked like hand prints, others like she was hit. I tried asking Haylei what they were from, she said that they might be from how rough her friends can be with her. These don't look like brusies from rough housing. They look like she was forced against a hard surface and like someone was holding her wrists to stop her from moving." The doctor told Jack and Bobby. Bobby sighed angrily, trying to fugure who could be hurting his sister. "Maybe you can get more out of her then I could?" Bobby shook the doctors hand as Jack called the girls. They left queitly, getting into the car and heading home. Bobby kept looking at his sister, but she avoided eye contact with him the whole ride home.
Bobby balled his hands into fists as he told Jerry and Angel what the doctor said. Angel took deep breaths as though he was trying to calm down.
"I'm telling you, I think someone has been fucking with our little sister! And when I find out who, oh so help me god!" Bobby said. Jerry put a calming hand on his shoulder.
"I'm going to make Haylei tell us what happened!" Angel said as he shot up from the couch. Bobby, Jack, Sofi and Jerry all grabbed Angel's arms and pulled him back.
"Naw man! The girls are sleeping, let them!" Jerry said. They let go of Angel and sat back down. Bobby got up and walked upstairs to where the girls were sleeping. He walked into the room and pulled back Haylei's covers. He pulled back the sleeves of her shirt, revealing brusies in the shapes of hands. He sighed as he looked down at her. Damn it, he wanted to find out who'd hurt her. She was so vunarble. One thought crossed his mind as he sat there, wacthing his sister sleep.
Jesse.
