I of course, like everyone else, don't own Four Brothers. I do love the movie, and wish a couple of the characters belonged to me lol. But I'm just not that lucky. So I hope you enjoy this chapter. Keep in mind people that I am still working on my writing, so it may not be as good as I would like it to be. Also it's kind of discouraging to have people read and not review.

Thanks to three that have put me on their alert list, and two that have reviewed so far! Love you guys! Hope you keep reading.


Not A Brother Ch. 2

After breakfast I went upstairs to finish getting ready. I didn't take too long, all I had left was brushing my teeth, and grabbing my stuff. Unfortunately though I had to wait an extra 15 minutes for Jack to make his hair look like he just got out of bed. I walked out of my bedroom, and stopped in front of the bathroom, leaning against the door frame. I just sighed and watched him mess with his hair, trying to get it just right. He looked over at me.

"What?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering what I'm going to read in detention today," I said.

"I didn't know you got detention," He turned back to the mirror.

"Well, that's because I don't... yet. But teachers don't exactly accept a member of your household making you late because he was too busy with his hair, as a very good excuse for being late."

"Hahaha, you're really funny," He mocked. "I'm almost done anyway, so just go get your stuff, and wait downstairs."

Rolling my eyes, I went into the living room to wait. I plopped down on the couch, completely bored and impatient. Patience wasn't my best virtue. Bobby of course had somehow managed to find a hockey game on T.V.

"That fairy still getting ready?" He asked not looking at me. I glared at him. I hated when he called Jack that, but I wasn't really sure why it bothered me so much.

"Yeah, and I'm gonna be late for class. Unless I just leave without him."

"Don't even think about it. You're not walking all the way to school by yourself." Bobby snapped.

"I'm sure I would be completely fine. You worry too damn much about me." I said, slumping farther into the couch.

"Your my little sister, there's no such thing as worrying too much." He turned his attention back to the game.

"He's right. No way in hell are any of us gonna let you go all that way by yourself." Jack agreed as he came down the stairs. I rolled my eyes, yet again. I mean what the hell could someone do to me, that hasn't already been done... besides kill me.

"Whatever. Can we go now?" I put my jacket on, grabbed my bag and headed for the door.

"Have fun learning shit," Bobby yelled after us.

Jack and I just walked in silence for a while. He glanced over at me every once in a while. There was a tension between the two of us, I don't know where it came from. This time however, when he glanced over again, I looked at him. I could see in his eyes that he was thinking about something. Like he was wanting to ask me something.

"What?" I finally asked, breaking the silence that had lasted the last two blocks.

"Nothing, I was just wondering what you had been thinking about this morning. I mean at first you seemed really upset, then happy." He looked at me curisouly.

"Oh, that. Nothing really." I said, now suddenly a little uncomfortable under his gaze. "I was just thinking about when everything with my father went wrong. About the things that he used to do, and the things I felt about my life at the time."

I paused for a moment, feeling my stomach knot up. I avoided looking up at him, almost afraid to see the sympathy in his eyes. I swallowed the lump in my throat, and continued my explanation.

"Then I thought about the day I met you, and how much time I spent with you and the others. The things he did that night, and how scared I was." I smiled again. "And I remembered you and the guys saving me, and how grateful I am to all of you. You saved my life."

Jack just stopped and stared at me. I turned to look at the unreadable expression on his face. I don't think he was expecting me to say something like that. I grinned to myself. I turned, and slowly started walking again. The rest of the walk to school was in silence. He didn't seem to be able to find the right words to respond to hearing that he had saved my life.

"Your late, Miss Malone."

Congratulations on stating the obvious.

"I know, sorry Mr. Turner. My br... friend took forever to get ready this morning." I was never able to bring myself to call Jack my brother. It felt too wierd.

"That is no excuse, you could have left without them." Mr. Turner said, sounding irritated.

"My brother would have kicked my ass, if I had tried to walk to school by myself." He grimaced. I could tell he was not very happy with my (in his eyes) lame excuse.

"Well then you can thank them for the detention you will be enjoying after school today." I groaned as he handed me the little pink slip of paper. I'm gonna kill Jack!

After school I was standing outside talking with my friends for a while before I went to detention. That and I hadn't gotten the chance to tell Jack that he would get to come back and get me.

"Isn't that one of your brothers?" Alyssa asked. I looked in the direction of her outstreched hand. Bobby was walking towards us from the parking lot.

"Yeah." I said confused at why he was there. When he saw me he grinned really big and started running towards me. Oh crap! I know that grin.

"No, Bobby, no!" I yelled. I turned and started running. He just chased after me as fast as he could. I saw Jack and started running to him, still yelling at Bobby to stop. "AAHH" I screamed as someone ran at me from out of nowhere. They grabbed me and threw me over their shoulder. Jack heard me scream and looked over. He laughed when he saw me thrown over Angel's shoulder.

"Dammit! Angel put me down! I have detention." They both laughed. My friends looked over at me frightened. Only Alyssa knew who they were, and that this was typical of them. Just not at school.

"Have fun Kayla!" She yelled after us.

"Haha, fucking funny!" I yelled back. "Seriously Angel, where the hell are we going?"

"We're all gonna go have some crazy fun," He said. I looked up at Bobby. "Come on Cracker Jack, you're coming too."

I just rested my head in my hand defeated. They all laughed at me.

"You fell for it again didn't you?" I heard Jeremiah ask. He had been waiting by the car while the others came to get us.

"Shut up, they caught me off guard."

"Of course," He chuckled. Angel finally set me down.

"Ow, damn. What was that for?" He asked, after I socked him in the arm.

"For sneaking up on me like that." I tried to smack Bobby in the arm too, but he dodged my fist, laughing.

"Aw, come on little sis, you know it's fun."

"Yeah, for you two." I said getting in the backseat.

"Nah, It's pretty fun for me and Jeremiah to watch too." Jack said smiling. I glared at him jokingly.

"Okay, so is somebody gonna tell me why I will be getting double detention now?"

"I'm shipping out in the morning, and wanted one more crazy ass night with my brothers and sister before I leave," I stared at the back of Angel's head.

"I'm sorry you're what?" Jack asked surprised.

"I'm going into the Navy."

"You mean you're leaving us?" I was upset, and mad all at the same time.

"It's not like that. I've wanted to joing the Navy for a long time." He said. He turned, and saw the look of hurt and anger on my face. "Come on, Kay. I'm sorry okay? Let's just try to have fun tonight?"

"Fine, I guess." I didn't want him to leave. I didn't want any of them to leave. They were my family now. They were everything to me.

I was already having a crappy day. That crappy day just got worse. First I'm late for school, and get a detention. Then I find out that my "devoted" boyfriend, cheated on me at some party, and now I find out that one of my brothers is leaving. Could it get any worse?

"Well if you keep hanging up on me, then I'm just going to come over."

"That wouldn't be the smartest thing to do Kevin. I already told my brothers what a piece of shit you are, and if you show up here they're going to beat the crap out of you." I don't know why I'm even warning him.

"I think I'll take my chances." He said, as if he didn't believe me.

"Be my guest." I threw the phone onto the bed. Apparently my day could get even worse. I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling. It wasn't like I loved Kevin. I mean I cared about him alot, but not in love with him. It still hurt, what he did though. I thought I had found a decent guy, who wouldn't hurt me. But apparently I was wrong. The guys had been furious when I told them what he had done. They of course being the Mercer boys said they would beat him for me, but I just told them he wasn't worth it. Which was true, he wasn't. He's just another lying, cheating boyfriend, like about a million others out there.

I heard a car pull up in front of the house, and heard the car door close. I shook my head. Stupid, stupid mistake number two. I thought as the moron named Keving rang the doorbell. I got up and looked out the window. I could hear the door open.

"What the hell do you want?" Jack's voice floated up the stairs.

"I need to talk to Kayla." Kevin said, sounding mad. He never liked Jack.

"Well, that's too fucking bad."

"You're never talking to her again."

"Look I just need to talk to her. KAYLA!" He called to me. I turned and started out the bedroom door. I heard him yell out in pain.

"What the hell did I just say?!" By the time I got down the stairs Bobby, Jack, and Angel had him on the sidewalk and were all punching and kicking him. I ran the rest of th way to the door.

"Hey, stop! I'll talk to him, it's fine." They stopped and looked up at me. They weren't very happy with my decision. I walked out into the yard, and they walked back up to the porch. They stayed to make sure that he didn't touch me. I stood and watched as he stood up. I didn't offer to help him.

"Can I talk to you alone?" He asked, nervously looking behind me.

"No. Whatever you want to say you can say in front of them." I answered stubbornly. "So what? What's your bullshit excuse?"

"It was an accident. I was at the party, I was drunk-"

"So what? So you were drunk and... tripped and fell into some naked girl that just happened to be laying there with her legs wide opne? Or wait, no I know. You passed out drunk, and woke up with some girl riding you and couldn't push her off?" He blanched and looked down ashamed. He knew that I knew there was no excuse he could give that I would accept. I couldn't see them, but I knew the guys were smirking.

"That's what I thought," I said shaking my head. I turned to walk back into the house. He grabbed my shoulder forcing me to turn around. The guys started towards us, but I beat them to it. He hunched over in pain when I knee'd him in the groin, as hard as I could. I shoved him roughly to the ground, and looked at him disgusted. "Don't ever touch me after you touched some skank. And you ever touch me again, I'll make sure you don't ever have to worry about "accidentally" screwing some random girl. Ever."

He groaned loudly. I turned on my heel and walked back into the house. The guys walked in behind me laughing their heads off.

"Damn little sister, I guess you can handle yourself!" Bobby said sitting down on the couch next to me. He put his arm around me looking proud.

"Yeah, well I've lived with you guys long enough. Everyone knows you're the best at teaching the worst things." I chuckled.

"Well if any of us ever had any doubt about you being a Mercer before, we sure as hell don't anymore!" Angel said. I smiled really big.

"Good, and I couldn't be more proud of it," I leaned on Bobby's shoulder. "I'm going upstairs, I have homework to finish. I don't know why I'm doing it now, since I'll have double detention now."

"You're welcome" Angel grinned.

"Yeah, thanks. Really appreciate that." Just as I reached my door, Jack grabbed my arm and turned me to him.

"I'm sorry he hurt you. I'm sorry you had to be hurt again." He said honestly. I smiled warmly at him.

"Thanks Jack, but don't worry about it. I know you guys won't, and that's all that matters."
