Kensi, Deeks, Sam, Callen, Nell and Eric had met in Kindergarten.

They had all instantly become the best of friends.

Nothing could separate them.

They were lucky enough to always be in the same classes.

They would spend every recess together, sit together at every lunch.

They'd tell each other everything. They were a tight-knit group of friends.

And as the years went by, and they got older, they only grew closer.

They all knew how Callen didn't know his parents . . . good thing he was living with Sam now, otherwise, he'd be moving from foster home to foster home.

They all knew the softer side of Sam.

They all  knew Eric's extremely geeky side . . . especially with video games.

They all knew Nell's love for school and technology and geeky things like that.

They all knew that Kensi, while being a tomboy, had a softer, lacy, lady side as well.

They all knew about Deeks' dad, and how much of a jerk he was.

Which was why, when they all hung out, they WOULD NOT go to Deeks' house. And Deeks was happy about that. He didn't want to spend time at his house if he didn't need to.

They grew up together.

Fast forward to the 7th grade.

That was the year that everything kind of just changed.

They were still in the same classes, they still told each other everything.

Well, most everything, in Deeks' case.

There was one thing he wasn't telling them.

Or planned on telling them.

He didn't want them to worry about him.

He just didn't want that to happen.

And he knew that they would worry about him.

Especially Kensi.

He and Kensi kind of had a 'thing'.

Just like Nell and Eric.

And possibly Sam and Callen. No one had figured out if it was just bromance or something more.

But the point was, that Deeks DID NOT want his friends worrying about him.

And it was bad. Really bad.

Deeks was being abused.

Not just by his father, though it was mostly by his father.

By his mother, too.

His friends are his only escape from the bad in his life.

Well, his friends . . . and music.
