"Do you Like them?" I said while Showing Ms.Angelina My Paintings.
"I love Them. Who taught you how to Paint so Well?"
"I taught myself. One Christmas I received a sketch Pad from my favorite Middle School Teacher. I would Always Doodle on my Work papers because Mother never brought me sketch Paper. She was Generous enough to Get me one Along with a few Pencils. Every year she mails One to me."
"Thats Beautiful. Do you remember What you drew For the First time in your Sketch Pad?"
I thought for a moment
"A Lotus Flower"
"Do you still own It?"
"Yup. Locked away."
"Tell me, Who is Rose?"
"She is My Wife"
"Congrats, when did you two decide to tie the Knot?"
"About 2 years ago"
"And How did you two meet?"
"In theater Class. Every play That our School did, They always hired me to Paint pictures through the plays. They even Supplied me with what I needed. Rose was always the Star of the Plays. Her family was very Wealthy. She could buy her way through Everything and Anything. I didnt like her much because she had everything handed to her. She didnt like me because I was Poor. 'Rich Girls Dont marry Poor Boys'. Everyone knows that. That quote is from the Famous Great Gatsby. Some things changed. One day The Lead Actor Got sick the Day of the Play from Mono. I was the Only other guy that knew the roles because I had to sit in on the Rehearsals to Paint. They paid me a 20 dollar Bill to get the job done. So of course, I took the offer. After the Play, we became close friends. I even Offered to Paint her Some times. While painting her, I started Falling in Love with her every Move, curve, and Silly thing she would say. She was a true beauty. Still is."
"Sounds Like a fairy Tale."
"The only one I ever got out of life." I said, with a laugh.
"How do you feel about Jared Leto?"
"An Asshole. Dont get me wrong, there where some good Memories, but the Bad where way worst. Especially when Lana Left. Instead of beating her, since she was gone, he would beat us. Starve us for days and make us drink with him. Winona thinks we're crazy for Hating Jared and Lana so much, but she just doesnt understand. She grew up pretty nice. A big House, Only Kid, got whatever she wanted. We Had nothing. Not a damn Thing."
"Do you smoke and Drink?"
"Why? Because Lana and Jared did it?"
Before she could respond, i did for her.
"Let me tell you a Story. There was 2 boys Name Cylas and Cyrus. They grew up watching Their only father figure drink. Like mines. When the two boys got older, They Both Where different. Cyrus would drink the Day away, and Cylas hated Alcohol. One day Someone Asked them The Same Question, Why are you Like this? They both Replied with the same thing, I watched my father."
"Thats a beautiful story"
"Thanks Doc and to Answer your question, Im a Cylas in this House.

Flash back
"Boys! Get up" Jared Yelled, rushing into the room.
He flicked our light on and we all groaned.
"Get uuup." he said, kicking the side of our mattresses. We slowly rose. I glanced over at our night stan and The clock revealed '4:40'
"What Jared? We have school in a couple of hours" Brad Spoke up, Irritated.
"Youre not going to school today. Come in the Dinning room."
We all hesitated but followed. We knew if we didnt do what was Told, he would Punish us. I wrapped my arm around Zack because he was Barely awake.
As we where walking I thought about Lana. Its been 7 months, and we Haven't herd from her.
When we walked in, there where guys sitting around our Dinner table playing cards and drinking beer.
"Im gonna Kick these assholes out so that we can Have some Bonding time" Jared said, Laughing and Pushing them out the door numerous complaints left their mouth.
Once the door was shut, he motioned us to the table.
We all sat down and Starred at Jared with his Goofy Smile.
"Listen. I know you guys hate me for Putting hand on your mother, but the Bitch got what she deserved. She didnt want you guys, but I refused to let her Get rid of any of you. I love you Boys. Look, Im still here"
"How could you be so cruel to Lana?"
"THE HELL WITH HER" Jared Yelled while slamming his fist on the table. We all stared with Wide eyes.
He cleared his throat and fixed hisself a bit.
"Ill go grab beers" He stood from his seat and made way to the Kitchen.
"What are we gonna Do?" Zack Spoke scared.
"Do worry, im gonna take care of you" Brad said, pulling Zack into a tight hug.
"Do you think Lana is coming back?" Cole asked while fiddling with his fingers.
"I doubt it" Paul spoke with a stuff mouth.
Dylan went to speak but was interrupted by Jared Putting the beers on the Table.
"Everyone Grab one" He said While lighting his cigarette. Eveyone just starred. He rolled his Eyes and Rose his voice
"NOW. EVERYONE GRAB A FUCKING BEER."
Everyone quickly grabbed one, but I wasnt fazed. I got up to Go to my room but he Stopped me.
"Didnt you hear me? I said, Grab a fucking Beer. NOW"
"NO. I DONT DRINK"
Before i could get another word out he had grabbed me by my neck and swung me to the ground hard. I felt an Acing pain in my Back that caused tears. The boys tried to help me but Jared pulled a gun out causing them to step back.
"If youre gonna Act like a little bitch, youre Gonna get treated like one" he took the end of his gun and hit hard in my nose. Blood started gushing out. He laughed and looked around. Everyone was angry with tears.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Brad Yelled.
"What I was Just having a little fun" He laughed to himself.
"Oh so what? Im the bad guy now?"
Once I knew he wasnt looking I quickly raced out of the house. I ran as fast as my feet would go, heading straight to Rose's.
As soon as arrived I took a Moment to collect myself and Catch my breathe. I threw a Stone at her window. After a Few seconds I seen her light turn on.
I herd her window Unlock and She opened it. She smiled when she saw me but her smile quickly faded once she saw my nose.
"Leo Meet me at my back door" She whispered.
I nodded and Quietly snuck around back. She unlocked her door and took my hand to guide me upstairs to her room.
"Stay Here"
She walked over into her bathroom to wet a Towel.
I started taking my shoes off and My shirt since it was covered in blood.
We both took a seat on the bed and I explained to her what happened. I watched as she took care of me. Asking me little questions every now and then.
"You can Sleep here tonight"
"Thank you. I really appreciate you"
She smiled and placed a long kiss on my lips. I reached for a night stan and turned her light off. I was with the most amazing Girl in the world.
