After last night, i didn't really want to go back home. it was now a Saturday and i knew my father was coming back on sunday so i was safe and didn't have to go back until later on today. However my family have probably noticed i'm missing and unless Mason tells them then my phone's going to be ringing a lot. Although even if mason tells them they will still try and get be back home and i know David will be really mad at me and then i will have to face him.

"Do you want to go and get some breakfast?" Lexi asked me.
"sure, wait. Where's Karli?" i asked.
"she went to the bathroom, she'll meet us downstairs." i nodded and the two of us went down stairs.

it turned out that Lexi was a pretty good cook, which i wouldn't expect from her because she didn't seem like she'd be the type. She only lives with her mum as her father walked out on them when she was nine. Her mum works three jobs and isn't home very often so Lexi usually makes her own tea and something for her mum when she gets back from work.

"How can you not like pancakes?" Karli asked Lexi.
"they are awful, how do you like them?" Lexi replied.
"because they are amazing and they are food."
"and you will eat anything." i butted in.
"and that also." she said reluctantly like she didn't want to admit it.
"Karli may eat anything Quinn, but you won't. You are a fussy eater and you know it." Lexi said.
"i know and i'm not going to deny it, but i will not eat something i don't like." i replied.
"if i'm hungary, then i don't care." Karli stated, making us laugh as she put a spoon full of cereal into her mouth.

The day kind of went on with stupid conversations like that. We ended up in Lexi's living room, watching horror movies. i don't mind them now, they are a lot better when your with your friends and when one of you gets scared you can just laugh at each other. compared to when i'm with my brothers and they just scare me even more.

"that's awful! please please please can we turn it of now?!" Karli cried as she hated this film. she didn't mind the jump scares, but the gory stuff she did mind and we were watching saw. However i didn't mind the gory stuff, but the jump scares were the parts i didn't like.
"no, this ones better than the last, it was terrifying." i said. Lexi just rolled her eyes at us as she didn't mind either. "shut up the pair of you, it's getting to the good part!" she said as blood and gore was all we could see. Karli cringed and looked the other way and i just sat back and watched the film.

****

Later my phone rang, just like i predicted and it didn't stop. it was david, of course it would be. Then Stefan, then Mason, Fraser, Harry and then even Noah. His phone call shocked me the most. He called me a whore last night and now he's calling me up on my phone to just check on me and see where i am? well i definitely was not going to answer it.

"you can't keep ignoring them forever, Quinn." Karli told me.
"well i'm planning on ignoring them for a long time." i told her.
"they may be worried."
"good, let them be." i said.

Four films later, it was getting on. it was now 17:30 and i knew that i should get back now, but i didn't want to leave. Lexi offered me to stay one more night, but i knew that would be a bad idea. i decided to head back, but walk. That way i wouldn't get back until a bit past six and i'd have some time to think.

"good luck." Lexi told me as i was leaving her house. Karli left ten minutes ago and offered me a ride, but i denied it. "thanks for everything Lex, see you Monday." i said and turned my back and headed out of her driveway.

Jacob's P.O.V

i swear to god everyone is over reacting. Last night Quinn told me and mason she was staying at a friends house so why are they getting so worried? She's fine. Everyone has called her, even noah, but i haven't.

"is this my fault? i called her a whore, has she left because of that?" Noah said, more to himself than us.
"you called her a whore? i'm going to kill you!" David shouted and was about to go towards Noah, but mason stood in his way.
"Move. He called my baby sister a fucking whore, he's not just going to get away with it!" David said. He was pushing against Mason and mason was trying to push him back. They weren't moving backwards or forwards though because they were both equally as strong.
"Noah? Why did you call her a Whore?" Harry asked, much more calmly. Noah looked towards David, fearful, knowing he was no match for his older brother. "just because... i don't know.." he said.
"come on there must of been a reason, it's fine just tell us. I've called her far worser things, believe me." Harry said, is there something i'm missing? i can't imagine Harry being that bad.
"Stop talking to me like i'm a fucking kid! This is nothing to do with you, your just the mistake our mother had when she was cheating on our Dad." Noah said.

Harry wasn't effected by what Noah said, but Noah was. i was really confused. i didn't realise there was so much i didn't know about them. Noah looked a complete mess and stormed off, more than angry and because i'm not just his cousin, but his friend, i went after him.

Harry's P.O.V.

i didn't say anything when Noah said what he did. i didn't let my face show any emotion, but in my head i was starting to play old memories that i thought i had left dead and buried.

***FlashBack***

i stumbled in through the front door of my house. i found my 11 year old sister sat on the sofa, waiting for me. She sighed when she saw me. She had been up waiting for me to get back from the party, again.
"Harry, you need to stop doing this. It's becoming a regular thing." She said. I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"You think your so perfect and better than every one else, don't you ? You can't tell me to stop doing this when its my decision, you slut." I said. Quinn looked taken back by what I said, but I didn't care. Instead I smiled, a sick and twisted smile. I took pleasure in every moment. My sister was caring for me and I treated her like I did and I took pleasure in the pain I was most likely causing her. "Ha! Look at you! Your so pathetic! No wonder my dad hates you! Your just some bitch my dad got stuck with when mum had you! It would of been better if she hadn't left to go back to her Ex and stayed with us! She came back later and dumped you with us! We would of been better off without you! Your no Foster!" I said my last name and basically told her she didn't belong in the family. Well she doesn't! Her last names Clark. Not foster.
"How do you know so much?" She asked, now clearly curious.
"Because I was fucking there!" I stated. She hesitated and then took in a deep breath.
"D-do you know, a-anything about my...... B-biological father?" She asked, almost scared to ask.
"I know that he was some bastard that mum left!" I shouted. She was angry when I said that as she clenched her fists. I laughed. "Did that make you mad? Ha! I know he didn't want you, and that's why she came here with you! She had no other choice. She was leaving him anyway but, she was forced to take you with her. You were a mistake Quinn, deal with it." I told her and of course I was lying through my teeth as I didn't know anything.
"I hate you! And I hate mum and Drew!" She shouted and stormed off crying. I laughed when she disappeared up the stairs. I had succeeded.

*****End Of Flashback ******

Stefan's P.O.V
"Shall I go out and get her? She'll either be at Lexi's or Karli's. Do we know where they live?" Mason said. David was getting pissed of with mason and I could tell.
"No. She will come back when she's ready. Trust me it's no like Quinn to disappear." David said.
"But what if somethings happened?" Fraser asked.
"This is Quinn. She can look after her self ." I said and they all looked at me confused.
"No she can't! Have you met my sister?!" David exclaimed.
"She seems pretty tough to me." I replied. Fraser shook his head.
"This whole thing she's got going on at the moment is just an act. Quinn is not as tough as she's making out. She's only being like this because she's pissed at Noah other wise she'd be the same girl she was before. It's all an act." Fraser said and I didn't respond.

Quinn's P.O.V

I walked through the front door to find the house empty. I couldn't find anyone. I shrugged I'd rather face them later. It was almost 7:00 Pm and I decided to head upstairs and dump my bag in my room. Then I headed back downstairs to hear someone else in the kitchen, where I was heading because I love food!

I entered the kitchen to find Noah. I mentally groaned. He looked at me and his eyes widened almost happy to see me but, his eyes changed and became emotionless. He looked away from me and back to the inside of the fridge. "Noah?! Have you heard anything from Quinn, I'm getting worried." David said walking into the kitchen. Where did he come from? The house seemed empty when I first arrived.
"She's here." Noah said with a sigh. David turned towards me and he looked relieved but, he soon turned angry.
"Where the hell have you been?!" He shouted, David made me scared. He was my big brother and not only that but, the oldest, biggest and strongest. He doesn't seem the type but, he is. Plus he's intimidating.
"Sit down." He said, ordering me to sit down at the dining table.
"I'm sorry David but, I don't have to answer to you." I told him firmly. That was hard but, I can't let him see me weak. I may be scared but, he does not know that.
"Excuse me?! You've been missing all today and last night and you think you have the right to say that to me?! Well let me tell you something, you do have to answer to me. You will do as I say or there will be consequences." He threatened.
"Go ahead. Nothing you do will have any affect on me because I simply don't care." He gritted his teeth. I could tell he wanted to hurt me but, he managed to stop himself. "Fine. If your going to be a little childish brat, I'm going to treat you like one." He said.

I wondered What he was going to do? Or What could be do?

He came up to me and grabbed my hand. He locked his fingers between mine and pulled me out of the kitchen. Noah watched everything.

"David get off of me!" I screeched and squirmed.
"If your going to act like a rude child then I'll treat you like one. You will understand that when dads away I am the boss of you and you will do as I say." He told me. He forced me up the stairs and along the corridor until we came to my room. He made me sit on my bed and then he took my phone, my laptop, my iPad and my teddy. My teddy?! Why is he taking my fucking teddy ?
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I am sick and tired of this attitude of yours! Your being a bitch and you know it! So until this stops your having nothing!"
"So why are you taking my teddy?" I questioned. I do have a bit of an attachment to it and I don't like the idea that he's taking it I mean who does that?
"Because this is a punishment. Don't act like you don't care because I know you." He said.
"You don't know anything about me! You've only known me for a year! I'm just some girl who you happen to live with now, this isn't my home. I had a home and a family but, it was taken from me. You don't know the first thing about me!!" I screamed. I was now crying and I couldn't stop. He looked away from me. I could tell he was angry he was more than angry but, also hurt.
"Stay in here. Do not leave." He told me and left my room.

I sat on the floor against my door. I felt so alone. I'm probably just being over dramatic. It's just that he doesn't know me none of them do and they don't know what I've been through. Except Harry. I remember what it was like and he was there. When my teacher got suspicious of my home situation me and Harry spent a couple of time in foster homes when I was nine, ten, eleven and even twelve. It wasn't very long though. We either spent a couple of days and then we'd go back home. Social services were suspicious thanks to my teacher and kept evaluating our home situation. Then they made it out that because of my mothers illness it was just too much for my stepdad and they needed a rest so we stayed in foster homes to give them a break. However when I was twelve it was the last straw. My stepdad got so drunk one night with me home alone with him. Harry was at a friends and my mum was living in hospital because she died when I was twelve. My step dad was never safe to be around when he was drunk and I got hurt. Usually Harry would of stopped it or someone but, the neighbours were suspicious and called the police. My step dad was arrested and I spent the next few days in foster care. Then I stayed with William and Harry stayed with his dad's sister. Then my mother died. That's when my father got involved.

Stevan's P.O.V.

I came back from meeting my friends and heard shouting upstairs. It was David, he was shouting at someone who sounded like Quinn. At least she's back. I headed towards the stairs but, someone called after me. "Mate I wouldn't go up there if I was you. I've never seen David so mad." Noah said to me. I turned to face him and I still couldn't believe he wasn't hung over as he'd drunk so much last night. "It sounds bad." I said as we heard David shout at her again.
"Your friends with my sister, aren't you?" He asked me. Was he taking sides or something now?
"Yes, well she's my cousin and we get on. Why?"
"I don't know....I just wanted to know if somethings wrong with her? Like....is she alright?" He asked me.
"I thought you two hated each other?"
"We're not on the best terms at the moment... But, she's still my sister." He said.
"Then you should ask her your self." I told him and walked upstairs.
