Apathy

28| Hey Kiddos

I was more surprised that I actually had a full night of sleep. I haven't slept that much in ages. The bed was extremely comfortable, cozy, and warm. I could stay here forever. But unfortunately, I can't, soon I will be back in the cruel reality of this world.

It was the first time since that day that I was able to close my eyes without imagining John filthy's hands on me. Without feeling his stinky breath on my neck. Without remembering the disgusting taste of his lips on mine.

They are monsters that will forever haunt m mind

I feel like my skin is on fire, it is burning me. I want to peel it off. I feel disgusting. But it wasn't my fault, that's what Zeke said.

It wasn't, right?

A knock on the bedroom's door bought me out of my daze, after I muttered a 'come in' the person who knocked entered. It was the same man who we met at the fight—Carlos, that was his name.

"Hello" he smiled at me "you are up, you have fainted due to dehydration. Let's go, your brothers are downstairs"

I hesitantly nodded and followed him, we stopped went we reached a rustique, large kitchen where my brothers, three other boys, and a woman were sitting. I immediately ran to my brothers and hugged them close, I have never been away from that or sleep alone without any of them next to me, I wasn't used to it. I depended too much on them.

"Hey, little sis," they all said at the same time, making look at them weirdly, "we thought something bad happened to you went you collapsed," Lilo said hugging me tighter

"Princessa, this is my wife Isabella and those are my sons," Carlos said pointing to the beautiful woman standing next to him and then the three boys sitting behind the counter, I assumed that they were already introduced to my brothers

"Hello, little one. I am Isabella but you can call me Isa if you want and I am so happy that you are here" the blond woman exclaimed excitedly while she gazed at me adorningly. She was breathtaking. Her platinum blond hair was natural which surprised me since most of the women with blond hair have dyed them. Her aura was caring, motherly, and loving.

"Hi, I'm Astraea" I introduced myself

"I'm Alejandro, nice to meet you," the oldest one of the boys said

"I'm Mattias, hello. We are gonna have so much fun" The second oldest looking one jumped in enthusiasm

"I'm Santiago" the last one who looked around my age introduced himself

"Well, let's eat breakfast" Isa announced

We all sat around the fancy wooden table. The food was filling every inch of the surface of the table. I haven't seen so much food in my whole life. It was like heaven. Especially since I haven't eaten a proper meal in forever.

Everyone started eating expert my brother and me. We start at the food hesitantly not knowing if we were allowed to eat it.

"Everything's alright? You don't like it? I can make something else" Isa worriedly asked

"No, it is not that. It's just...are we allowed to eat?" Atlas asked frightfully

"Yes...." Isa replied, frowning and looking confused

"Thank you" Elias muttered appreciatively while my other brothers and I just gave them a grateful glance

I picked up the fork but in my trembling hand but as soon as I took it, it fell. My hand has been shaking a lot since I was raped and I know that I should probably go see a doctor but I can't. First, we can't afford it, doctor's visits are expensive and we do have that kind of money right now. Secondly, the doctor will ask questions and then my brothers and I will end up in foster care most likely separated and that can never ever happen.
