TRIGGER WARNING: abuse
.

You woke up the next day in a bed that you recognized was yours whenever you slept over at the twins' house. You noticed it was really quiet so you went downstairs to the kitchen and found a note that said We're out for groceries, didn't want to wake you, be back soon, James and Ollie xx. You decided to hoard some snacks and brought them up to your room, not in the mood to eat a real breakfast.

You were about to go up the stairs when you heard the doorbell ringing so you put down all the snacks on the counter and went to open it, thinking it was the mailman or something. What you didn't expect was to see your mother standing there and a hand on your cheek when you opened the door. You lifted you hand to feel your burning, stinging cheek and looked back at your mum, who was livid.

You tried to close the door but she kicked it, causing you to stumble backwards and fall on the floor as she walked in, advancing towards you. You tried to scramble back but she kicked you hard in the stomach and stepped on your neck, holding you in place.

"You bitch" she hissed venomously. "Your ungrateful fucking ass is the reason your father is in jail, you whore" she spat and put more pressure on your neck, causing you to splutter and tears rolled out of your eyes. She smirked slightly as she watched you struggle for air, trying to claw her foot off. You began to see stars as the level of oxygen in you decreased and you for sure thought you were going to die.

Right then you faintly heard yelling and the pressure on your neck was gone. Someone helped you up and you sputtered and coughed, trying to get air back into your lungs. You were coughing so hard there was some blood and that made you even more panicky than you already were. You felt yourself being picked up by a pair of gentle arms and they took you into a room and sat down on the bed with you on their lap. You looked up through your coughing fit and saw James smiling sympathetically at you whilst rubbing your back. After a while, you had calmed down a bit but tears still streamed down your face and your breathing was very raspy.

You heard police sirens outside and you tensed. James noticed and held you close, calming you down. You heard some muffled yelling and talking outside the door and sunk further into James' arms. Then there was a knock on the door, making you jump a bit. The door opened slightly and Oliver came in, followed by a policeman. "Hey kiddo, the policeman needs your statement of what she's done to you so they can make sure the sentence fit's the crime okay? We don't want her to get out, can you do that for me love?"

You looked up at him with teary eyes, slightly shaking, then looked over at the policeman who smiled warmly at you. You slowly nodded but made no move to separate from James, James made no move to let you go either. You opened your mouth in attempt to say something but nothing came out. You looked at Ollie and back at James who both have concerned looks on their face. "I'll get the paramedics for you" the policeman said and left the room.

You stared at the floor trying to hold in your tears as you opened your mouth to try and say something else but again, there was no sound. "Don't force it kiddo, the bitch probably damaged your vocal cords when she...you know" Oliver said and went to sit beside you while James still held you on his lap. The policeman came back with a nurse who smiled at you sympathetically.

"Hi, I need to do a checkup, are you okay with that?" she asked and you nodded. She checked your throat and breathing and all the usual stuff and she was gentle the whole time so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable. "Her vocal cords are damaged both from that woman suffocating her and I'm guessing a coughing fit afterwards?" she asked and you nodded. "A few days of vocal rest should do it, its nothing serious and I'll give you some cough drops to help soothe your throat" she said and went back out.

"We still have to take your statement miss, you could write it down for us" the policeman suggested and you nodded. He handed you a notepad and a pen then you proceeded to write down everything, including when you lived with them. You gave it back to him and curled up more against your brothers, more tears threatening to spill. "Thank you for your help miss, we'll make sure she serves her time as well as her husband, have a goodnight" the policeman said and left.

"We shouldn't have left you alone, we're sorry" James said, still holding onto you, he was extremely guilty about what happened. You were his baby sister, he never wanted anything to happen to you, especially under his care but you could've gotten killed because he wasn't there. You were very good at reading people and you sensed he was feeling guilty.

You pulled out the notes app on your phone and typed it's neither of your faults, you didn't know she would come. They were able to protest but you gave them the side glare that would be scary enough to make an army back down so they reluctantly agreed. "Have you eaten breakfast?" Oliver asked gently and you shook your head.

"Do you want to eat something? Or just a snack?" James asked gently. You really did not have an appetite for anything right now so you shook your head again and curled up more against James who tightened his arms around you at this. "Do you want to watch a movie and just cuddle?" Ollie suggested and smiled when he was met with a nod of approval so that's what you did for the rest of the day.
