Maddilyne's POV
My teeth are killing me right now I just had to get the bands changed an in three weeks I get the expander put it. I don't need braces I swear. We just left the dentists office an on the way home now.
We pulled up an I got out the car an went inside with Zach following me
"Maddi go to the kitchen" Zach says shutting the door
"Why"i turn an ask
"Just go"he sighs
I walk into the kitchen an see Zaine an Caine siting at the island with aggravated looks on their faces I didn't do anything I'm pretty sure I didn't
"Sit down"zach says
I walk over sit down an look at them confused
"What's wrong"i ask concerned
"Our parents called" Zach sighs
"Why"i ask looking at them
"They went to court an filed for visitation rights"he says
"For what"i ask agitated
"You"zach says looking at me waiting for my reaction
"I don't want to see them your my legal guardian the papers are signed"i say standing up getting worked up
"We know but since they took it to court we have to go tomorrow to fight against it you will have to state that you do not wish to see them"he says sadly
"Why can't they just leave us alone"i cry out with tears falling
I feel Zach wrap me in a hug
"I don't know baby girl but I promise we will all be right there with you the entire time"he says softly kissing my head
"When do we have to go"i ask sniffling
"Tomorrow morning at eight"he says
"Okay" I mumble
I give a weak smile to them an walk upstairs to my room an lay down on my bed. I then see a picture on my bookshelf it's a picture of all of us with them standing begin us when we were younger it was the last family vacation we took. I get up walk to my shelf grab the picture frame an smash it against the wall beside the shelf an watch the glass shatter an fall to pieces on the floor I pick the picture up an sit on the floor a few feet away from the shelf an just look at the picture we all looked so happy why did they have to do this. I feel rage build up an I start to rip the picture to shreds just as the door opens.
"Maddi"i hear Caine sigh I look up at him through watery eyes
"Why can't they leave us alone they never call or anything but now this"i say softly on the verge of tears.
Caine comes an sits beside me an pulls into his arms.
"Their doing it to get back at Zach he has never stood up to our father everytime he downed him"he said playing with my hair I look at him confused
"Our father always expected high out of Zach when Zach brought home a 99% on his test he would ask Zach why isn't it a 100%" he started
"But Zach never stood up to him not once but when he said why he said to you to dinner Zach said he had never felt as angry as he did that night that was the first time he stood up to our father an he said he would do it again"he said looking at me
"I'm scared"i mumble
"Of what"he asks softly
"Would if they try to completely get custody of me"i ask letting tears fall
"Zach would have to agree an sign the papers he has complete custody of you"he says
"But would if they try to take me by court"I ask crying
"They would have to prove us as unfit guardians an have proof of unfit environment"he says rubbing my back
"Okay"i mumble
"Let's go eat dinner than you can go to bed we have an early morning"he says
We go eat dinner it was a quiet one after dinner I went up an got ready for bed an Laid down an fell asleep instantly.

I feel as if I just fell asleep an Zach just woke me up to get ready. I go shower blow dry my hair then get dressed. I'm wearing a spaghetti strapped black sundress but it's more formal with a tan cardigan an black flats. I straighten my hair an put little make up on then walk downstairs to see my brothers in the kitchen all dressed up.
"You guys ready"i sigh taking an apple out of the bowl
"As ever" Zach mumbles
We walk out to the car an drive to the court house. we walk in an have to wait outside of the room for another case to be dismissed. when they finally call us in our parents are already seated on one side we go to the other and sit down.
"Okay I am Judge Williams"the judge says
"So we are here to try for visitation rights is that correct"he asks
"Yes sir" Dan says
"Okay your side first"he says nodding to our parents
"We would like to have a week visitation rights to our youngest child Maddilyne" Nancy states
Oh bullshit!
"Why was the guardianship of this child signed over to Zachariah"the judge asked
Mhm answer that!
"We were on business an needed a stable plan for our child we just want what's best for all of our children"she says
She is going to hell for lying!
"Okay now your side"he says nodding to Zach
"Our parents signed over custody of Maddilyne to me because they were gone all the time but that was when I was finally of age to sign the papers but when I was still under age they would leave on business leaving me with three younger siblings an Maddilyne does not wish to see them"zach states bravely
"Maddilyne is that true" the judge asks
"Yes sir"i say nodding
"Okay I need a statement from you an please explain"he says
"They were never there for us the last time they actually called was when I was ten we tried to have dinner but that ended with them yelling at us about respect an Dan telling me I needed to be beat I would not be happy with them I'm happy with my brothers an i would not wish to see them at any given time sir"i say leaning into Zaine
"That's nonsense your honor she is a child she doesn't know what she wants we are her parents"dan protest
"You can not get visitation rights unless Zachariah agrees an signs the paper also is that the case Mr. Tylerson"he asks looking at Zach
"No sir I do not agree I will not be signing the papers if Maddilyne doesn't not wish to see them"he says respectfully
"Okay this case is dismissed no visitation rights are issued"he says with a smack of the gavel
We walk out of the court house an out tithe car when they stop us
"Why would you do that to your parents"Nancy says hatefully
"Your not parents you don't know what it's like to be real parents"i say crossing my arms
"You are ungrateful disrespectful brat"she says
"Fuck you"i sneer
They gasp an turn away an walk to their car I feel a hand clamp to my arm
*SMACK SMACK*
I feel two heavy smacks land on my butt I try to side step an throw my hands back to block anymore
"Watch your language" Zaine growls letting go of my arm
"Oww I'm sorry"i mumble walking to the car we drive home an I end up falling asleep on the couch.
