CH 6:
"Hey, Donny wake up"
"What?" Don answered waking up from a deep slumber. Don opened his eyes and saw Leo standing in front of him.
"Leo what are you doing here?" Don asked getting up from the chair he'd been sleeping on, Don's back ached and he felt much worn out.
"I got worried, it's not like you to run out like that and stay out all night, who knows what could have happened?" Leo answered and pointed at the kitchen and the two brothers went to sit down by the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in their hands.
"I'm fine, you could have called you know?" Don said sipping the dark liquid.
"I just figured you were too upset to talk to us, what exactly happened to you last night? You just snapped at us for no reason, I've never seen you so out of control Don, talk to me, I'll listen" Leo said with compassion in his voice.
"That's just the thing Leo you won't listen, none of you ever do. You all assume that there's something wrong with me but you have never bothered to think that you did something wrong to upset me" Don answered.
"How are we supposed to know when you won't talk to us?"
"I should not have to tell you how bad your behaviour is towards me, you all should realise it by yourselves!" Don shouted annoyed, he just wished his brother would go home soon and leave him alone.
"Well apparently we don't do that and what do we do that's so bad anyway, is it because Mikey tease you in practise? Come on Don it's Mikey you can't take that personal."
"I knew you wouldn't understand can you just go home and leave me alone for a couple of days? I'll be back when I'm ready."
Don stood up from his chair and went to the fridge. He would have breakfast ready for April when she woke up.
"Alright Don but I still think that we should solve this as soon as possible, if there is something wrong you really need to tell us, I'll have a talk with the guys when I get back to the lair, I will be back tomorrow and then you're coming home with me rather you like it or not." Leo said and with that he stood and left the apartment ignoring Don's protest.
An hour passed after Leo left and Donny was finished making pancakes that was set on the table and coffee was ready to be poured.
Don was reading the newspaper when he heard footsteps and someone entering the kitchen.
"Good morning April, I made breakfast. I know I should have called before I got here but I left the lair in a hurry last night and didn't want to go back." Don said not looking up from the newspaper he was reading.
Then suddenly Don hears a glass hit the floor and a girl is standing in the door opening.
She looked around 14, had brown hair and glasses, then Donny realised that he had met this girl before, she was the one that had fallen of the roof a couple of months ago.
"Don't scream!" Don said quickly, afraid the neighbours would hear her and call the police.
Malin just stared at him, she couldn't believe her eyes, and she knew she had seen him before or at least something that looked like him but she thought that was a dream.
She never expected to see him again…
"It's you again, what are you doing in my friend's apartment you creep!" Malin said still in a little bit of shock.
"I was going to ask you the same thing…Except for the creep part" Don answered.
Just then, April walked up behind Malin and saw Don over Malin's shoulder. Don was now standing up ready to leave if he needed to.
April just took a look at both of them and it was followed by a long silence.
"Well…this is awkward" April said. Then Don took a breath and said
"April, I'm sorry I know we are supposed to call before we get here but I got here so late last night and didn't want to wake you, I'm sorry, I'll go home" He made his way to the window.
"No Don, wait! You can stay, and come on she have already seen you now, it's no need to hide" April said and Don stayed and slowly walked away from the window so no one outside could see him.
"Okay Malin, just take the time you need to melt this and I will talk to Donny in the meantime alright? Why don't we all sit down in the living room?" April said and both Malin and Don followed her to the living room and they all sat down.
Malin was still trying to understand everything, this was the same Don that had saved her, He had kept her from freezing in the cold…She still had his coat at home.
"Okay Don, what is going on, you have never spend the night at my apartment without an invitation"
"I know April, I just needed to get away, and my brothers think that I'm in their way in battle so I figured I'll stay away for a while."
"I'm sure they didn't mean it like that and even if they did you should still talk to them instead of hiding here" April said.
"I'm not hiding, Leo knows I'm here, He's coming back tomorrow and then we'll talk, I just don't think I should have to explain myself, they should know what they're doing wrong"
"Sometimes people need some help to realise their mistakes, you can stay here tonight if you promise you will talk to your brothers tomorrow"
"Fine" Don answered, he wanted this conversation to be over with.
"Are you okay Malin?" April asked, watching the girl in the armchair next to the couch that April and Don was sitting in.
"Yes I'm fine" Malin said and a smile spread over her lips.
Then the phone started ringing and April got up from the couch to answer it.
"Hello?"
April was on the phone for about 5 minutes before hanging up, when she returned to the living room April had a sad look on her face.
"Malin, Sweetheart…I'm so sorry I have to tell you this but…your mother passed away last night"
