You Kill 'em We Grill 'em

After a few minutes I arrived 'home'. When I opened the door I saw Lucas. I just walked to Allen's Office. I didn't bother knocking, they do the same to me.

" Allen, it's so nice to see you! " I said, dramatically.

" Hello, Aria. " Allen said, coldly and annoyed. I sighed heavily.

" Why do you need me, for? " I asked, in a bored tone, as Ace Will and Austin entered the Room. Without knocking! OMG such a big surprise. I thought to myself.

" We need to talk about this morning. " Allen said, with authority.

" I'm good. You guys have your opinion, I have mine. " I said, with a bored tone again.

" We are going to talk about this, Aria. " Allen said, so coldly that Ace, Will and Austin flinched. While I stood there looking at my nails unaffected. I should paint my nails a dark shade of Red. I thought to myself. Then I looked up and saw Allens eyes darkened a little.

" Allen, you okay there? " I asked in a teasing tone.

" Aria.. " Austin whispered, scared.

" Aria, I don't want you talking to any boys. '' Allen demanded, in a cold tone. Colder than before.

" I will talk to anyone, Allen. Boy, Girl, Man, Woman, Trasngender, Gay, Bi, Straight or anything else. " I told Allen, in a cold warning tone. Then my phone rang.

" Yes? " I asked, with the same tone I used with Allen.

" Jez woman! Remind me not to get on your bad side. " Justin said, worried.

" That would be a good thing dear, dear Sir Justin lord of my good side. " I said with deep sarcasm.

" Wanna hang out with James, Thomas Ken and I? " Justin asked, with a hopeful voice.

" I can't not spend time with my few favorite people. Of course I'll join. " I said, walking to get my shoes on. " Where are we going? " I asked, getting my Hoodie.

" Oh we are at the park near the school where you and Justin hung out earlier. " Justin replied.

I heard Ken yelling " Barbie's coming let me talk to Barbie!!! " I burst out laughing, hanging up the phone, as I walked to the park.

I'm at the Park talking to the Boy's.

" 20 Questions? " Ken suggested. We all agreed.

" Where are you from, Aria? " Ken asked me.

" New York. " I replied. " How about you guys? " I asked.

" We all were born here in Mamai. " Thomas replies.

" Wow. Y'all must get sick of seeing the same people. " I said, to Thomas.

" Sometimes. " Everyone but me replies.

" Why'd you move here? " Justin asks. James looked at me sadly.

" She died of an Overdose. " I said, without an inch of sadness.

" You Father? " Justin asked, with some regret for his last question.

" I've never met him and never plan too. He walked out when he found out I wasn't going to be his 7th son. " I said, again with no sadness.

" I'm so sorry. " Ken said, with sympathy.

" I'm not. Sure I never had loving parents but blood doesn't make family, bond's do. " I said, not looking anyone in the eyes.

" What do you mean by never had loving parents? " Thomas asked.

" My Mother blamed him for leaving. She despised me. When I turned 4 she turned to Drugs and got abusive. By the time I was 6, I ran away. Where I met the man I call Papa. He's my no bio GrandFather. But he passed when I turned 16 but I was already a millionheir and the heiress to his company, because he had no children. So I returned to my Mother and got abused again. " I said, taking a deep breath. " So I had no loving Mother. My 'Brothers' blame me for her leaving when they don't know the pain I went through. You guys and one other person know the full story that is still alive. " I finished.

" Damn. " James said.

" That's not even my whole childhood. " I said.

" There's more? " James asked, shocked. I just nodded my head looking at the trees.

" I should go home. " I said getting up.

" I'll walk you home. " Thomas said. I just nodded knowing he had more intense questions. After a minute or two of silence.

" You have night terrors? " Thomas asked.

" Unfortunately. "

" Then I'm going to guess you got r***d multiple times. " Thomas said. I let out a shaky breath letting him know he was right. " You also dislike opening up. So why did you open up? " Thomas asked.

" I feel safe around you Ken, James and Justin. I don't feel that safe around my 'Brothers'. I've only told 2 other people other than you four. One's still alive, that phone call I got on the first day of school at lunch was him, J. " I replied.

" Wow. But there's still more to the story after what happened to you, you would not have stood up to James, unless that business you got was a Mafia. " Thomas said, putting the pieces together.

" Yep. " Was all I said, when we got to my house. " Now to face the people who hate me. " I muttered under my breath, not knowing Thomas heard.

" I'll call later to see how you're doing okay. " Thomas said.

" Okay. Thank you for walking me home. " I said, with a small smile.

" You welcome, Aria. " Thomas said, walking away. I opened the door to face my emmys. Once I was inside the house, no one was waiting. So I went to the Kitchen, I was a little hungry but I couldn't eat, not right now. So I settled for a bottle of water when Allen entered the Kitchen.

" Where were you? " Allen asked, calmly. I didn't want to answer but nevertheless I did.

" The park, across from the school. " I said, not caring about anything right now.

" Aria, about today, all of us are very sorry. " Allen said, caringly.

" If they were or are sorry they would have said so by now Allen. You are not a messenger for them. If they're sorry they can come to me themselves. Goodnight Allen. " I said, too emotionally drained for any more drama. I walked up to my Room not stopping to listen to anyone's conversation tonight. I opened my door, I entered and plugged in my phone. I walked to the balcony and sat on the railing.

After about half an hour my phone rang. Reluctantly I got up and answered not checking the caller I.D.

" Hello this is slice and dice, you kill 'em we grill 'em. " I answered, half heartedly.

" Um... Okay. Are you okay? " Thomas asked.

" Physically or mentaly? " I asked.

" Okay. Let me guess physically you fine. But your mentaly drained. " Thomas said.

" Yes. Now can I try to sleep now? " I said/asked. My body feels so drained. I'm so tired.

" Aria, stay up for a few more minutes. " He yelled in my ear. My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier with each passing second. Then I heard my Balcony door open. I lifted my head up and saw James and Thomas. I closed my eyes and fell onto the bed letting sleep take over me.
