AN: We'll find out a bit more about Oliver's big brother in this chapter. And why he feels he MUST not let anything happen to Miley or Lilly.
"Ok, well when my mom left, my dad got so mad that he started hitting anything in sight, and the first thing he saw happened to be me, and well when he took a swing at me, my brother stepped in front of me, and stopped me from being hit, and the shot killed him" Oliver said, tears in his eyes now.
Miley too was crying now, and Lilly was trying her hardest not to let the tears escape.
"Is that why you feel like you need to keep us safe?" Miley asked, looking now at the hole in her leg, which had now started to bleed again.
"Oh, gosh, here" Oliver said, and tied the shirt piece more tightly around the upper part of Miley's leg, which caused her to groan.
"I'm sorry Miles" Oliver said, looking at her. Miley shook her head. She knew Oliver was only helping her.
Lilly looked around, trying to find something to help support Miley's arm, which still hung limply at her side.
"Just forget my arm, and make sure I don't bleed to death" Miley said, almost as if she was reading what Lilly was thinking.
Lilly looked shocked for a second, but nodded her head, and helped Oliver put another piece of shirt over the hole, putting pressure on it.
Miley winced, and Lilly and Oliver each sprung backwards away from her, afraid that they were hurting her too much, which Miley denied.
"Just finish" she said, looking at Oliver. He nodded and tied the cloth around her leg, and smiled when he was done.
"Ok, there" Lilly said, then the door burst open, and instead of anyone getting pulled out this time, Joshua stepped inside and layed a plate of what looked like leftover food in front of them, and walked back out.
"What is that?" Miley asked, looking at the food with a digust on her face. Lilly took a step forward, and when she did, she smiled.
"It's old, stale fries, cheese fries" she said, grinning at them. Miley looked shocked for a second.
"Why are they feeding us so well, most people would just let us starve" she said, looking at Oliver, hoping for some kind of answer.
"Maybe it's because he's Oliver's dad, even if he won't admit it, maybe he's feeding us without the other two knowing" Lilly said, still smiling at the fries.
"Just eat the dang fries Lilly" Miley said, looking at them herself, but she saw how hungry Lilly was.
Lilly looked at her, then at Oliver, then back to Miley. "I'm not eating these by myself, there's enough her to split three ways, and we still have that water" Lilly said.
"Just eat em', you too Miles" Oliver said. He was still bent on keeping them safe, no matter what it cost him.
"No, Lilly eats more then either of us normally, she needs the food more, and I won't take any of them" Miley said, looking at Lilly with a look that said "Please?"
"I wish you two would worry about yourselfs" Lilly mumbled, before munching on a couple of fries.
"Thank you" Miley mumbled, before the door shot open, and Robert grabbed Oliver, dragged him out of the room, and slammed the door behind them.
Miley and Lilly looked at each other and gulped when they heard yelling.
