Bullied By My Brothers

Chapter 16 - Third Wheel

Anna and I have been talking in my bedroom for a while. I'm not really sure what time it is. 

"Ellie, can I ask you something? And if you don't want to answer, yo uso then have to." Anna said. 

"Sure, you can ask me anything," I said. 

She nodded her head, and took a deep breath. 

It must be serious. 

"Why didn't you tell your brothers how it made you feel? You know, about them hurting you?" Anna asked. 

"Oh," I paused for a moment. 

I'm not really sure how to answer her question. I mean, I remember how I used to not tell them how it made me feel. But, now I have been telling them how it made me feel. So, I guess I'm not sure why I decided not to talk to them, when I was younger. 

Because, when I was younger they scared me. They were bigger, and stronger than me. 

If you had four brothers who were older and stronger and beat you, wouldn't you be scared?

"Uh, I guess I never told them how it made me feel because I was scared. I was scared that they might hurt me more than they already have. I was scared that..." I began to say. 

"That what?" She asked. She put her hand on my shoulder. 

"I was scared that, they would kill me. I don't know why." I said. 

"So, that's really how you think of us? You seriously thought we'd kill you?" Noah asked from the door. 

When did he get there?

"How long have you been standing there?" I asked. 

"Long enough," he said. "Long enough to know that you thought we would kill you!" He said, and then walked out of my room, slamming the door behind him. 

I looked at Anna. She looked shocked and sad. She took her hand off of my shoulder. 

I got up from the bed, and opened the door. I left it open in case Anna wanted to follow me. But, she didn't. She stayed in the room. 

I went into Noah's room. 

He was sitting up on his bed, leaning against the headboard.

He was on his phone. 

I knocked on his door, even though it was open. 

He looked up at me. 

"Can I come in?" I asked. 

"I guess," he said. 

I walked into his room and sat on his bed. 

"Listen, you understand why I said what I said, right? I mean, I've been abused by you guys for years until the other day. When we younger, I thought you guys would kill me because I was scared. I was a scared, because you guys hurt me." 

"I know. I'm sorry." 

I nodded my head. 

Then, I got up from his bed. 

But before I could walk away, he grabbed my hand. 

I turned around to look at him. 

"El, I really am sorry. I'm sorry that I was never there for you. I'm sorry I was a bad brother. I'm sorry that I didn't treat you right. I know I was a horrible brother, but I'm working on it. I can't promise to be everything you need, but I can promise you that I love you, no matter what." He said. 

Then, he let go of my hand.

His words brought me into tears. 

"I love you too," I said. 

Then, I hugged him. He hugged me back. 

Then, I heard something. It sounded like someone crying. "I'm gonna go see what that noise is," I said. 

Noah nodded. 

I walked into the hallway. The noise sounded like it was coming from my room.

I walked into my room to find Anna crying. 

"Oh my gosh, Anna! What happened?" 

"A boy...he...he came into your room and punched me in my stomach. I don't know who he was," She said, while stuttering. 

Well, she met all of my brothers so it couldn't have been any of them, but I'll ask her just in case she forgot what they look like.

"Was it any of my brothers?" I asked her. 

"No. I have no idea who the boy was," She said.  

"Brothers! I need you!" I shouted. 

They all came running into my room. They looked shocked at the sight of Anna. 

"Anna says that a boy came into my room and punched her in the stomach. She has no idea who he was," I said. 

"Boys, let's search the house, and see if we see anyone," Max said. 

All of my brothers nodded. 

"I'll stay with Ellie and Anna to make sure nothing else happens," Jack said. 

Oh no! 

I do not want to be a third wheel. 

"Okay, come on boys!" Noah said. 

"Let go," Daniel said. 

Then my brothers nodded and left. 

Now, I was stuck in a room with only Jack, and Anna.
