Bullied

Chapter Fourteen

Lex POV:

Lionel was looking at my brother with disbelief in his eyes.

"I can't believe you did this. What is wrong with you?" He asked as he held me tightly in his arms.

I didn't want to admit that it made me feel better.

I felt like I was back to being his baby girl again. When he would hold me this way if I had a nightmare.

"I hate her. She ruined everything." Dom said, glaring at me. "None of this is her fault. It's mine." Lionel said and stood to Dom's height.

"I decided to leave. She never made me do anything. Just because she isn't my biological daughter doesn't give me the right to leave the way I did. I was in a 'poor me' state. I was angry with your mother and I left. I didn't think about the two of you at that moment,but I have missed you. You both can hate me all you want."

Lionel looked back to me and helped me up off the floor.

"Go to your room, sweetheart." He said quietly.

I started to walk to my room then turned to them again.

"Daddy, please don't get anyone involved. I don't want anything to happen to him." I said as tears streamed down my face.

Dominic and Lionel both looked confused.

I simply just walked up the stairs to my room.

I sat as I let Lionel's words sink in. He truly was sorry. I could see it in his eyes.

He's trying so hard to have a relationship with us again and all we do is call him names, and he lets us. Why?

I walked down stairs to talk to him again.

Surely he was done with Dom for a while.

"I'll be keeping an eye on you, son. If it weren't for your sister, I wouldn't hesitate to let you spend a few days in jail, but you will leave this house." Lionel said.

"Dad, he doesn't have to leave." I told him.

"You serious, Lex?" He asked.

"Yes. He can hate me all he wants. And I want to hate him, but I don't, no matter how much I try to." I said as tears stream down my face.

"Please, daddy."

He looked surprised. I don't think it sunk in yet that I called him that more than once already.

"You called me daddy." He told me.

For the first time, Dom walked right by me. No glare, no insult, and no slamming his shoulder into mine.

"I forgive you, dad." I told him.

Dad rushed over to me and gave me a bone crushing hug.

I gasped loudly from the pain in my ribs.

"Fuck, I'm sorry. We need to get you to the hospital." Dad said and helped me to the car.

"Can you get my phone for me? I want to call Adrien." I said. "Yeah, I'll be right back." He said and jogged into the house to get my phone.

When he walked in, Dom walked out to the car.

I backed up a little, afraid of what he would do.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He told me, his voice still cold.

"What do you want?" I asked. "Why'd you do it?" He asked.

I then looked at him, confused.

"Do what?" I asked. "Take up for me." He replied.

My face then hardened and I looked forward.

"Because I don't fuck with people, like you do. I care." I looked back at him.

"I did it because I'm a good person, because I'm not you. I finally realize I'm better than you. Just because I saved your bacon this time, doesn't mean I will if there is a next time." I told him, then finally roll up my window.
