I walked out of the firm office with my head up high and with a smile this time. Lisa gave me her number and email and told me would get back to me as soon as possible. She even gave me a half price discount cause she said she thought I was adorable. I just stood there staring at her trying not to scowl which she instantly picked up on and laughed.
I grabbed a coffee and realised that it was half 5, Jesus I needed to get home. Well to Mike's anyway, speaking of Mike I should probably tell him that I'm okay. I got my phone out but before I could call anyone someone bumped into my shoulder pretty hard and my phone fell and cracked onto the sidewalk. I looked up to see three boys, all pretty simular in looks so they probably brothers or something, stare at me for a second, before they all started laughing at me and walked off.
"HEY! ASSHOLE!", I yelled at him, wanting them to stop, but they just turned to me and laughed again and walked off. I didn't want to go after them as I knew they could easily overpower me and beat the crap out of me. And to frank with you, I didn't really fancy getting beat up again.
I wiped the phone down and tried to turn it on but it was just a black screen. I screamed out in annoyance as I shoved my now broken phone into my pocket.
"Are you alright?", Someone asked from behind me. It was a girl from the voice but I just nodded and walked away from her. I saw a telephone box and ran inside as it started to rain. I just stood there for a second before realising something.
I had no one to call.
There was no one that I was close too either that I knew their numbers off by heart. I just was stood frozen in my place knowing there was really no point in calling anyone as they most likely won't pick up for me and it wouldn't show a caller ID, and Granny would never answer a phone caller if it didn't say who was calling so I litrilly had no one to call.
I walked into the local cafe and asked the lady to call me a cab as I didnt know Williams number. As I was about to ask the devils themselves walked into the cafe. I was just stood frozen in confusion on why they were even here. I just ignored them as they stood in line behind me for their coffee. I could feel their eyes on my back and it was pretty obvious they were all just staring at me.
I asked the lady to order me a taxi and she did so with a smile. She then turned to look at my brothers and physically paled at the simple sight of them. They smiled when she did, obviously enjoying her reaction.
"Actually, I heard Taxi's don't come around this area", Lucian said with a smirk which caused me to roll my eyes. They all gave me a sharp glare in which I gladly returned in which they all raised his eyebrows at me. The lady then called someone on her phone and gave me a hesitant smile. I pushed past my brothers and walked out of the coffee shop and was waiting on the sidewalk for the taxi to show up.
It was still raining, so I was sat in the rain on a sidewalk. It was becoming a little too much for me, the fighting against my brothers, the stress of thinking about whether my father would ever come and get me, to do something to piss Michael off and he ends up kicking me out. I was sat with my head in my hands on a sidewalk, I let a few tears drop. You probably couldn't see my tears because of the rain.
It started to get heavy with rain and I went to get up and go into the cafe but something stopped me. More like someone. They were all stood in the latest designer brands, with large coats on and umbrellas. Stone went to say something but before he did I turned as fast as I could and ran.
I ran as fast as I possible could down the street. I was running down hills through the city, with not a person in sight. It was like the whole place was deserted because of a little bit of rain. I kept running, this time with my hands out in the air going down the hill, letting the rain drop down my clothes. I screamed out with laughter as I did so, with my hair swishing side to side with each step.
I didn't feel out of breathe, if anything I felt exilerated to keep running and to never stop. I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I ran. People in their house must think that I was crazy, but for once I didn't care. I would never see them again anyway. I just wanted this feeling to last forever.
To feel so free, so empowered within myself.
But of course it was cut short when three black SUV's pulled up infront of me just before I was about to cross the road, making me fall to the ground, landing right on my front due to how fast I was running. I jumped up and I felt a little bit of blood drip down from a cut on my forehead but I couldn't feel the pain of the cut. Instead I liked the pain.
I liked that it took my attention away from the real world.
I touched the cut and winced. I then looked up to see my brothers quickly getting out of the car. I just stood my ground this time, there were no more hills anymore, just a flat road.
"WHAT THE FUCK? You could of really hurt yourself", Stone yelled at me. I just stared at him for a second before I just laughed at him, with pure laughter. Why? I didn't really know, but it felt good to finally laugh. To just let it all out, for my chest to stop feeling so tight all the goddamn time.
"Why are you laughing?", Millian asked with a slight bit of concern in his voice. I just put my hands on my knees and soon enough the laughter turned into crying. More like sobbing. They all looked at me with surprise as I did so, as well are pity. I couldn't stop crying though. It just kept coming and coming. Stone went to pull me into a hug in which I took, surprising both of us in the process.
I was nuts right now anyway, I wanted at least one hug from one of my older brothers in my entire life. They had never hugged me before anyway.
I clutched onto his jacket and cried harder which turned into deep sobs, with the rain surrounding us, it was oddly peaceful. I suddenly felt more arms join in on the hug, 4 more to be exact. We were having a sibling hug, all together. This had never happened before in my entire life, which made me cry even more into his chest.
It was like I was crying to the devil.
"I didnt mean too", I kept saying over and over again. They just kept rubbing my back without a word. I then stopped crying and pulled away from all of them. I wiped my nose to get rid of the snot and stood infront of them.
"I can't do this anyway", I said with a few tears flowing. However Stone stood staring at well as the others. What the hell was he thinking?

Stone Pov
"She's gone to a law firm", My friend who had been watching Matilda told me. I just nodded knowing for a fact that anyone would be crazy to help her. I was sat in my office, messing around with a few pencils on my desk, thinking about my mother.
"Alright, give me the address", I said with a smile. My informent then gave me the address and I grabbed my coat, it looked like it was about to rain. I walked into the main living room to see Ravy and Rome playing video games, Lucian was in the pool whereas Millian was cooking.
"We are going out, and wear a coat it's going to rain", I said, which caused Ravy and Rome to nod and turn their game off, whilst Lucian heard me from outside as the doors were open and he got ready as well. I walked into the kitchen to see Millian dancing along to some Miley Cyrus song. I smiled at him, getting my phone out to video him.
Perfect blackmail.
He jumped when he finally noticed me. He gave me a nervous blush and looked at me with his eyebrows raised.
"We are going out, Matilda is getting a lawyer", I said. He looked at me for a second before giving me a small smile.
"And thats the only reason?", He asked, whilst taking his apron off. I just looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?", I asked him confused. He just smiled at me and grabbed his coat.
"So this is nothing to do with the fact that our little sister is walking around at nearly 6 at night on her own in a big city?", He asked with his arms crossed against his chest. I hated how smart my brothers were.
"Of course not, I just don't want her to ruin everything", I said, trying to be as convincing as possible, in which he just raised his eyebrows and nodded. Out of all my brothers, Millian knew me the best and I hated that about him.
"Whatever, lets go then and make sure she is alright", He said with a smile, as I rolled my eyes at him playfully.
The other met us at the front, and we all got into our cars. Millian sat with me for a change though. I raised my eyebrows at him but he just shrugged at me. I rolled my eyes and closed my eyes for peace.
When we got to the law firm, there was no sight of her. Lucian and the twins were looking everywhere, getting the attention on everyone around.
"Clear the streets", I told my team, in which I heard lots of cars being opened. We looked for a while before we went to grab a coffee. We saw a redhead in there talking to the lady at the front desk. When she turned slightly, I knew it was her straight away.
Jesus, I always feel in awe when I see her, looking just like out mother. It made me want to lock her away forever just to make sure she wasn't ever hurt by a man. But I already failed at that therefore I lost the right to tell her what to do. I lost that right when she turned 5 and I left her.
In the coffee shop she had the same confidence she had when we talked at the diner, a side of her I still wasn't use too. I prefered it to be honest.
We all ordered our coffee and watched as she sat onto the sidewalk through the window. She looked like she was crying but we couldn't tell. Why was she crying though?
I nudged the others and they all nodded in agreement as we got out our umbrellas and went outside. Before I could even get a word out she ran.
We also ran, straight to our cars, whilst we watched her run. She looked just so...ALIVE! She was screaming as much as she could, getting her anger out. When we pulled up to the end of the hill, when she crashed down onto the floor. Millian kept in his laughter where I gave him a sharp glare.
We got out of the car screaming but she did something strange. She laughed. Like manic laughing. It was crazy how she looked, but it soon turned into crying, which then turned into sobbing. It was all becoming too much for her. She was only 16 after all, and she had 5 brothers against her. It made me feel like absolute crap. I didn't realise how crazy we were with her till now.
How we hurt her.
How we have been ever since she was born.
I pulled her into a hug before I knew it, as she sobbed and clung onto me as hard as she could. I just stood there in shock to finally have my little sister hug me. I knew it was our fault she didn't before. But when the others joined she sobbed even more, apologising. I knew why and so did the others.
When she pulled away she looked entirely exhausted. Her head had a pretty big cut and blood was flowing down and through her cheek, almost like she was crying blood.
"I can't do this anymore", She said just staring at us, as we stared back. She finally cracked but it was alot less satisfying than I thought it was.
"Then come home", Millian said. She shook her head at us and sighed.
"No. I don't belong with you and I never have", She said whilst staring at the floor. It made all of us slump down and our hearts were aching. This was all our fault.
"Yes you do, we might of treated you wrong before but I'm sure we can be a family", Rome said, going to grab her hands. She comforted his hand for a second before letting him go.
"No we can't. Too much has happened. I can never forgive any of you for my life so far. I don't know if I ever can to be honest. Just let me get this emancupation without all the fuss", She said, pleading us with her amazing eyes.
We all shook her head and she sighed.
"I guess I'll see you in court then. And you best believe we are gonna win", She said, the tears now gone and the determination in her voice. It made me feel a tinge of pride. Something I didn't want to feel.
Someone I have held down for the last 16 years.
For me to finally care enough to know she won't be taken away from me. But it wasn't worth anything anymore, because she was leaving, and I knew she would never come back.
We fucked up. And badly.
