Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from Four Brothers. I only own the characters that are not in the movie. This story is purely fictional. I hope you enjoy it. It takes place little before, mainly during and after the movie took place. Well enjoy!
A/N: This chapter is longer then the rest I have written. I tried to make it shorter but I needed a certain ending to make it work, and having it long was the only way to get it. I really like this chapter for some reason. Well I like all my chapters but you know what I mean.
The reviews have been wonderful. Believe it or not I listen to them :) It helps me write better knowing what you guys think. Also if you have any ideas for me feel free to tell me. Ok enough Rambling. On with Chapter 5! Enjoy :)
I was extremely ticked off. Not only had I had a very good nights sleep, I had planned on sleeping in past the 8 o clock hour. But would my brothers possibly allow something like that? Nooo they had to wake me up with their angry gabble.
Throwing my covers off and putting on some clothes I stomped down to the living room seeing exactly what I had predicted, Bobby and Angel were standing in the middle of the living room arguing about Sofi staying here. I never really got close to Sofi, but I didn't not like her. I could see where both men were coming from on the sides of the conversation. I sighed and I walked in between them.
"You guys come on, it's thanksgiving, no fighting"
"Elizabeth we're not fighting, I just Don't understand why Angel got some other mans Hoe up in our house"
"Shut up Bobby, thats my girl you're talking about"
"She wasn't your girl yesterday!"
"GUYS STOP"
Every single one of them stopped moving. Even Jerry who had shut his mouth from laughing. I never like to raise my voice. But in this case it was needed.
"Now you guys can either kiss and make up, or you can leave, because I Don't want any type of fighting in my house got it?"
"Elizabeth...your 16 years old, you Don't own this house..."
"Well I never saw any of you around these last few years taking care of it. With mother gone, its my god dang right to have this. Now if you will excuse me, Jack and I have dinner to make!"
I walked into the kitchen and started to slice up lettuce for the salad. I smiled at Jack, he looked at me
"What was the bet?"
"30 second they come in and apologize"
"We'll see girly, we'll see"
And 30 seconds later both Bobby and Angel walked in to apologize, I simply nodded, hiding my smile and forgave them. Told them each what time dinner was and they were on they're way to do whatever.
I smiled at Jack who grumbled and took out his wallet giving me ten dollars. I stuffed it in my back pocket and continued with dinner.
"Just like old times..huh Liz?"
"Almost Jack, almost..."
"I can't do that Angel! Lying is bad and mommy said I am not aloud" a 7 year old Elizabeth pleaded to her older brother.
"Baby girl, it's not lying, I just need you to not repeat what you heard...can you do that?"
"But but...where are you going?"
"Just down the street to see Sofi"
"WHAT! Angel! But Bobby!" Elizabeth couldn't finish her sentence before Angel clamped a hand over he mouth and told her to lower her voice, she nodded and he let go.
"...that girls a ...a...skank"
"Skank, where the heck did you learn that word?"
"I dunno what it is but Bobby said it, so it must be true"
"You know Elizabeth you shouldn't always listen to Bobby, he isn't always right, Sofi is a very girl nice..."
"I know that...she is a skank..."
Angel sighed knowing this was a battle he couldn't win. He finished getting his coat and went back over to Elizabeth.
"Baby girl, Don't tell anyone where I am going ok? I will be back soon, here you can tell Rabbit, but no one else! Promise me?"
Elizabeth took the Rabbit doll from him and clutched it tightly to her chest. She nodded, "Yes Angel, I promise..."
"Thats my Baby girl"
He kissed her forehead and headed out the door. Elizabeth ran up the stairs as fast as her little legs could take her. Going into her own room and went back to sleep. Only to be a woken a few hours later by yelling, she got out of her bed, still holding Rabbit and walked out into the hallway.
"Whats wrong" Her little voice called out. Jerry came over to her, and knelt in front of her.
"Mommy fell, but she is going to be ok, she has to go to the hospital though"
Bobby told the EM T's he would be at the hospital soon. He walked back into the house extremely pissed.
"When he gets back I am going to rip that Fu.."
"BOBBY!" Jerry yelled, nodding his head to show Elizabeth was in the room and to not curse.
"Sorry...but where the heck is he?"
"You mean Angel?" As soon as the words left her mouth she brought her hand to cover it. She almost spilled their secret! Bobby looked outside then back to her...and that was it. She was going to spill the beans, if it wasn't her mother she couldn't lie to...it was Bobby. And he knew this. Bobby walked over, moving Jerry out of the way and took Elizabeth into his arms.
"Elizabeth..." Uh oh he used her full name. It was only a matter of time, "Do you know where Angel is?" He asked with a smile. Elizabeth shook her head no. "You do know that lying is bad Possum, now I need you to tell me the truth, mommy is hurt and she needs Angel, and we cant find him...you Don't want mommy sad do you?" Elizabeth nodded no again, close to tears. "Now Possum...tell me where he is..."
"With the Skank lady"
"You mean Sofi"
"No, its skank lady, like you said"
Jerry slapped Bobby's arm, "Man why you gotta say stuff like that around her, you know she has ears like a hawk!"
"Sorry I didn't know she was listening. Anyway, so he is over there, right Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth nodded and then Bobby called Jack downstairs.
"You stay with Liz, Jerry and I are going to get Angel. Don't leave or I will kill you. Watch her, Don't let her go ANYWHERE. Got it?"
Jack nodded as Bobby and Jerry left.
"So Liz, want to color?"
"Um...ok," Elizabeth took his hand and they walked into the living room.
Couple hours later Bobby shoved Angel into the house. Liz and Jack were on the couch, Liz was sleeping in Jacks lap, and he was watching TV, he waved to them when they came in but Bobby didn't look happy. "Now go apologize, that wasn't fair to Liz" Bobby forcefully told Angel.
"Shut up man, you used mom's condition to get her to confess, not like you any better!"
"Angel just go!"
Angel sighed and walked over to the couch and woke up Liz. As soon as she saw Angel in front of her she sat straight up.
"I didn't mean to Angel! He made me, he made me tell him, you know how I am when Bobby is here! It wasn't my fault! I swear." Angel calmed her down.
"Baby ..baby its ok..calm down. Look it's my fault, I shouldn't have made you do this for me, I promise not to put you in this type of situation ever again, ok?"
Elizabeth wiped her eyes with her sleeve on her pajama's. "Ok...is mommy coming home?" Bobby stepped up.
"She will be back tomorrow, she is fine. Now you little girl," He picked her up, "it is way past your bed time. Jack why you let her stay up so late?" Jack shook his head not believing this.
"Wait..WHAT! You can not be serious"
"I'm joking fairy , joking. Here Angel" He placed Elizabeth in Angels arms, "go put her to sleep while I clean up down here. You go to bed also Jack."
"Hey! I'm not 7!"
"Hey! I Don't care, get your ass upstairs. Jerry want to help me with this?"
"He is right you got school Jack"
Jack groaned and walked upstairs. Bobby laughed and swatted Jeremiah on the shoulder to help him clean up the mess the two had made.
"Man Bobby, that was classic how you got Liz to confess"
"Just got to know how to work it. Little bugger cant lie to me. I Don't even have to raise my voice and she will crumble"
"Well it goes both ways..ha ha she has got you wrapped around her tiny finger"
"Hey! Hey...watch it. I still can kick your ass, nobody has got me wrapped around their fingers"
Angel walked downstairs, "Liz wants you to read her a bed time story Bobby"
"You were saying Bobby?"
"Shut it Jerry, Angel you read her one"
"I tried, she wants you..."
"ugh...fine. This doesn't prove anything Jerry, its an act of care for a sister"
Angel and Jerry laughed and at the same time responded, "Keep telling your self that"
"Liz bring that salad in here would you, like..before Christmas would be nice" Bobby yelled from the dining room. I rolled my eyes and picked up the bowl and headed in there. Placing it on the table I took my seat next to Angel and Bobby. We all stood around the table and Bobby said grace before we all sat down. It was strange...everyone there but no ma, it just didn't seem right without her. I suddenly wasn't hungry. I just took my fork and played with what I had on my plate.
"You got to eat Liz..." Jerry said from his seat across from me. I nodded and took a piece of salad. I tired to think of different things to make me feel better, like she was actually with me. I know exactly what she would say.
Cherish this time Lizabeth...it's what you have always wanted.
I swore I could hear her voice. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Bobby standing up. Saying he had enough and wanted to play some hockey. Angel said no way, but course Bobby persuaded him anyway. We all got our coats and took Jerry's car down to the rink. I didn't play, I knew how to but I Don't like the sport. So I sat on the bleachers and watched.
I flinched every time one of my brothers got hit. But I laughed at all the men my brothers knocked down. Jack was screaming at Bobby to not make them madded. Thats my Bobby I told myself proudly. At one point some loser skated up to me while I was sitting watching the game. I knew where this was going.
"Hey pretty thang, why aren't you out on the ice"
"I Don't play hockey," I explained while trying to ignore him. I didn't want to be rude I just wanted him to leave me alone. I crossed my legs and rested my chin on my hand which was on the top of my knee sighing.
"That so...how about me and you hook up later, pretty thing like you need a real man"
I rolled my eyes. Bobby started to make his way over here, all I had to do was hold out for a few more seconds and then Bobby would get this guy away.
"Well when you find me a real man, then we can talk" I started to climb down off the bleachers when the guy skated over to where I was and stopped me from passing.
"No one talks to me that way bitch" Before another word could be said Bobby took his hockey stick and swung it underneath the guy , causing him to fall flat on his back on the ice.
"Why Don't you shut your mouth youngster, and stop talking to my sister." Bobby then kicked him, which had to have hurt cause he was wearing skates. I laughed and asked Bobby if it was time to leave. He nodded and called the others over.
Jerry said something about showing his investment to the boys. I asked if I could be dropped off at home, I had school work to catch up on, and I really didn't want to get involved in whatever they were doing. Bobby agreed, but as they dropped me off they gave me strict instruction.
Lock all doors and windows
Sofi never leaves the house
I never leave the house
No ordering out.
Sleep at 11.
I agreed to their rules and walked inside the house to find a angry Sofi. I told her to just get over it and she yelled something in Spanish. I shrugged my shoulders and went to my room to do my studies. If my mother was proud of anything when she was alive, it was my studies, I was 16 but I was about to graduate high school. I never went to school a day in my life. I've always been home schooled. I never cared for anything else. I work better alone.
I looked up at the clock...10:58pm. No one was home yet, and I was beat. Making sure all the doors and windows were locked, i was pleased and I went back to my room, saying goodnight to Sofi who just acknowledge it.
Grabbing Rabbit I got under my covers and looked out my window. Whispering a silent prayer before my eyes couldn't keep themselves open any longer.
