A/N: It's been a really long time. Is writer's block a reasonable excuse? Anyway 2021 and current lockdowns are good for something - inspiration and time to continue with a 5 year old fanfic. Here's chapter 5 which will be followed swiftly by chapter 6!
Ethan grabs Karen forcefully by her upper arm dragging her towards him, Karen screams as she collides with the boys chest.
"No, leave her alone, let her go." Jake demands.
Karen is then pushed towards Jake, who catches her and holds her close.
"You've made your choice then." Ethan replies pulling Ben off the couch by his mop of curly brown hair. Ben's hands instinctively go up to pull at the boys fingers in his hair.
"Lemme go." Ben struggles against his captor. He is then thrown in to the arms of another boy who pins Ben's arms behind his back.
Ethan looks back at Jake, "Ben it is then?" He questions maliciously. All Jake does is stare at the floor he can't bare to watch them hurt his little brother, he may be big but he's only 15 for Christ's sake.
Karen looks up at Jake with big frightened eyes, he has never seen her look so scared, "You can't let them hurt Ben." She looks so disappointed in him, its all he can do to turn her towards his chest, her face buried in the material of his shirt so she doesn't see the scene about to unfold.
"You see what I mean Jake, un-mendable." Ethan smirks.
