Chapter Twelve ~ Revealed Past.

*Jack's POV*

"Whoa Jack won, yo!" Jerry cheered tapping Jack in her back. "Phil's on Kim!"

"Hey!" Kim moaned making us all laugh.

"It's on me!" Rudy chuckled pointing to the door all the warriors but me and Layla ran to the door. Kim and Jerry turned their head back and looked at us.

"You coming checka?" Jerry wondered. Layla shook her head. Jerry looked confused again.

"We both have left something in the dojo. We'll meet you there!" I winked. Kim understood and dragged Jerry over to Phil's. Finally me and Layla where alone. I slowly limbed my way over to a bench and took a seat. I sighed in relief as I was finally able to relax my leg.

"Well..." Layla started. I looked to her and sighed. How can I tell her this? I don't really want her to remember this.

"Well It all happened one day..." I trailed off recalling the memory was hard for me, how was it going to be for her? Knowing that she has been leaving with a monster, and that her brother was a killer...

"Oh you mean 'that' day." She smirked. Wait does that mean...

"YOU REMEMBER!" I blur out totally confused.

"Yeah" She chuckled "Why do you think I left home to find you?"

"Because our father died.."

"No I made that up. I didn't want to bring up all the past..."

"When did you remember?"

"Well he came home drunk on what I know now as the anniversary day. He hit my mum and... me." She paused and then after deep breath, she continued. "I guess him hitting me and saying Sam's name triggered the memory."

"Wait hold up... He still hits you!" I yelled

"Only when he is drunk..." She admitted looking away ashamed.

"So even after everything he used to do before, he still has the nerve to hit you!" I was furious, he was unbelievable! I stood up and ignored my leg as I paced my anger off.

"What do you mean?" She asked. I stopped in my tracks realising I had said a little too much there... I didn't say anything so she continued. "Oh no, I told you everything, now it's your turn!"

"When we were younger he used to..."

"Get drunk I know, but he was never violent, well until that day." She glared watching me carefully. She still had a blind faith in him, which only made me angrier.

"He was never Violent to you!" I snapped. Then I shut my mouth. Dam it Jack, too far again! Her mouth dropped as she figured it all out.

"You took all the beatings!" I came out as barley a whisper. She took a seat quickly and stared at me in disbelief.

"I'm the oldest, I had to protect you and Sammy..."

"You were only 10 years old!" She cut in.

"Well... the first attack was on you when you were 5." I paused trying to figure out whether or not I should be telling her this. I decided that she needed to know how much of a monster he really is. He is dangerous and can't be trusted. Layla needs to understand this in order to be safe. I took a deep breath and sat back down onto the bench. I let my mind wonder back into the memory, a memory that always stays with me, just like that day.

-Flashback-

*No one's Pov*

"You stupid girl!" The father yelled pushing his daughter backwards. "You are so useless. You will never be good at karate, at anything."

"Jackson!" The mother screamed stepping in front of their daughter. "Your drunk, go and sober up before you even dare speak to the children!"

"Don't get in the way bitch." The drunken father kicked the mother aside causing her to hit her head on the counter. The little girl screamed out in terror as the father came towards her. A boy only a year older than his 5 year old sister stepped into the way and attacked the man. Being so small his attacks weren't as effective as he had wanted them to be. The father laughed and grabbed the boy by his shoulders, dragging him from the room he threw him into the living room. The young boy cried out as his was thrown into the wall. The sorry excuse for a father hit his son a few times and then suddenly seemed to regain his senses. Realising what he had done the father ran from the house, leaving the unconscious mother and son, with his 5 year old daughter.

-flashback-

*Jack's POV*

I let her have a minute to let everything sink in. Layla said nothing for ages.

"I remember that day a little but not like that... Jack.. I.." Running into my arms, she started to cry. "Jack I'm sorry. I love you. We will get him for this, I promise."

"Yeah I know, but that was the past. We need to focus on the future." I relaxed knowing that I might not lose her after all. "One more thing tho... Drew is.."

"Our brother." She finished pulling away from me. "He told me everything. Don't blame yourself for that day Jack. You saved me and Sammy, it almost cost you your life! But I don't think thats Sammy."

"You too huh." I chuckled.

"Sammy has my mother's blue eyes, not chocolate brown." Layla winked wiping her tears away. "We need to find him."

"I know..." I sighed. "Do you think the guys will miss us?"

"Nah... they will be too busy eating." Getting off the bench she held her hand out to me. "But first we need to get that leg sorted out." I rolled my eyes and took her hand.

"FINE!" I moaned. "First hospital, then to find Drew and our father..."
