We arrive at the old house and we go down to the basement. There are old men, all sitting around a table playing, what looks like poker. It's smells of cigarettes and drugs.
"Ah, Danny, who is this gorgeous girl you've brought tonight" a man laughs.
"Jimmy, this is my girl, Willa. She's here to sit next to you tonight" Danny responds.
He pushes me forward and I go sit in the empty set next to 'Jimmy'. Jimmy puts his hand on my thigh, making me flinch and he chuckles.
"Your a beautiful girl" he smirks.
I gulp and the men continue playing there game. Jimmy continues to move his hands around my lower body. I can't do it anymore, it's been a couple of hours and I am sick of the touching and the smell of drugs.
"I need to go, sorry" I stand up.
"No, you need to stay-"
"It's okay Dan, I'll walk her to the door" Jimmy says.
"Sure thing" Danny nods laughing, takes another smoke and I stand up, walking out.
I am at the door and I feel Jimmy squeeze my ass, I turn around and slap his hand off. He grabs my neck and moves me to him.
"Don't you dare touch me again girly" he demands.
I struggle to breathe, he lets go of my throat, kisses my forehead and then let's me go. I run out the door and run home. I get home and run to my room, closing the door and collapsing, sitting against the wall. I put my hands across my chest and hold myself tightly as tears fall down my cheeks. A couple of hours later, I hear running and Brax and Heath appear in front of me.
"Will, what happened?" Heath asks.
"Danny came, to get me from detention. He, he took me to the house" I say quietly.
"Will, what happened?" Brax asks.
I look up into his eyes and can't stop the tears from starting to fall again.
"I didn't want to go, I didn't want to go and I didn't want to let the guy touch me. But I didn't know what Danny would do" I cry.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Will" Brax sighs and pulls me into his arms.
He sits down next to me and I cry on his chest. He holds me tightly, stroking my hair.
"Heath, get Case home. Order pizza, we'll be down in a sec" Brax instructs.
"Yeah, will do" he nods and then leaves.
"I'm sorry Will, I should've got you home before he did that again. I'm sorry" he says.
"It's not your fault Brax" I assure him.
"Yes it is, because I'm meant to be being a better brother" he sighs.
"Let's just go downstairs alright" I force a smile.
He nods and we go downstairs into the living room.
"Move over" I groan to Heath.
He rolls his eyes and I sit next to him on the couch, Brax sitting down as well. The door opens and I see Casey huffing.
"Are you okay?" he looks to me concerned.
"I'm fine now, honestly" I nod smiling.
He sighs of relief and smiles, then he sits down on the chair and we all watch the TV. Half an hour later, the door bell rings.
"Finally! Pizza!" Heath groans hungry.
He gets up and goes to the door. But instead of us hearing him pay the pizza guy, we hear him punching someone. Brax, Casey and I all look to each other and then immediately rush to the door. We find Heath, beating Danny who is on the ground.
"Heath!" Brax shouts.
We rush and pull Heath off of Danny, then hold him back as he stands up.
"Don't you dare touch me again or you'll regret it! You! You need to come with me" Danny demands, pointing to me.
"Not a chance in hell" Brax scoffs.
"She's coming with me whether you like it or not! Because I am the father and I am in charge!"
"You aren't my father. You certainly aren't the boys'. When the hell have you ever been a father to us? I'm not going to be afraid of a piece of trash like you anymore" I glare.
He scoffs and looks at me furiously.
"You should be scared of me" he grins.
"Well, I'm not. So...fuck off" I demand.
He tries to move towards me, but Brax punches him hard, right in the face. He falls to the ground and then we slam the door, locking him outside. The boys all turn to me.
"That, felt so good" I laugh stupidly.
They all laugh and pat my back or rustle my hair as we move back into the living room and continue to watch TV. The doorbell rings and Brax goes to answer it. He then walks back into the living room holding the pizzas, Matt with him, in his pizza uniform.
"Matt's gonna stay for a bite" Brax says.
"Braxton's, pleasure to see you all" Matt smirks, sitting down next to me.
"You're just here for the money and free pizza" Heath laughs.
"Maybe" Matt jokes laughing.
I sit down on the floor next to Matt and we all eat pizza.
