EDITED somewhat.
Hope is your average everyday nerd who has no friends and no social life. But that's the good part because then who would suspect a girl in glasses who can't defend herself from bullies to be a worldwide A class badass Gangleader ca...
Well, the kids are now fully sleeping and so is the big kid next to me. It's now 11:37 at night, which is way past the kid's bedtime. Waking up Daniel to help me with the kids I pick up Owen and Daniel picks up Iris and we bring them to their rooms. Daniel goes straight for my room afterward and falls straight back to sleep but me. I'm not that tired so I went back into the movie room to clean up all the ice cream containers and spoons and popcorn which Daniel brought in then I took a shower and was walking around the house with a towel wrapped around my body and my hair as I checked the alarm.
But as I was about to go back upstairs I hear a noise from outside, going into the hallway I open one of my secret walls that carry a few weapons, grabbing one out, I head to the door with the gun behind my back.
Opening the door I see a beaten up Hunter and Tyler at my door Hunter looking worse than Tyler. Tyler was keeping Hunter standing. Moving aside I let them in. Putting the gun in a container on a table near the door. Tyler guides Hunter into the living room and lays him on the couch while Tyler occupies the other couch. I look at him with furrowed brows he just stared back.
"Okay one what happened to you guys and two why are you two here and not at a hospital," I whispered, keeping my voice low so the kids don't wake up.
"I can't tell you," is all he said flatly.
"What do you mean you can't tell me why you're in my house late at night covered in bruises," I whisper yelled.
"Exactly what it means, I can't tell you." He said stiffly which made me realize it was probably gang-related, something Hunter's dad must not know about.
I was about to lose my shit. I turned my back to him so he wouldn't see the anger coming out of me. After calming my self down I went into one of the bathrooms and found the first aid kit under the sink and put on one of the guest robes that hang on the back of the door.
Going back into the room I look at him to see him watching me as I check out both him and Hunters bruises. Taking the needed supplies out I start to care for Tyler's bruises. He watches me carefully as I clean his cuts, focused on the task at hand I ignore the questioning look he's giving me. After finishing his I go over to Hunters sleeping body and start to clean and patch up his cuts also I look on his arm to find a really deep wound which will need stitches on his right shoulder. It looks as if someone stabbed him there. Looking back into the first aid box I sigh and take out the needle and thread.
"Wait, what are you going to do with that needle," Tyler asks looking at me as though I'm about to kill him.
"I'm going to stitch up a deep wound that's on his shoulder," I said turning back to Hunters sleeping body. Once I have finished taking care of both of them in go back into the bathroom to put everything away. Cleaning my hands then drying them I come out of the bathroom and look over to Tyler.
"Now are you going to tell me what happened to you guys?" I put my hands on my hips expectantly.
"No," once again stiff as a doornail.
"Are you going to tell me why your here?"
"No," he doesn't have to be so difficult he is in my house after all.
"Okay, why not?" I hope Carter, Hunter's dad, doesn't mind if I just hurt him a little bit.
"Because," that's not a real reply.
"Because of what?"
"Because it's not just my choice to tell you anything, I and Hunter would have to talk over that, and I don't think he will want to so don't get your hopes up," he huff's looking away.
"Okay, fine but are you guys going to sleep here tonight?" I say with a sigh.
"Maybe for a few hours or until Hunter wakes up," who was the first question he has answered since he got here.
"Well I'm going to go to bed then, but first I need to double-check the locks," I really just need to put the gun away safely.
Going over near the front door I open a secret wall opening which includes a bunch of buttons and since the guys are here and may end up leaving in the middle of the night I don't put the alarm on but I do turn on the alarm for my kids rooms so if there is any forced entry the alarm will go off and the house will go on lockdown. They know how the deactivate it and put it back on again if they need to. Pressing the button that locks all doors that lead to the outside also I close the wall and after checking on Tyler I also see him fast asleep. I go to my room and go to sleep still wondering why they showed up at my house cover in cuts and bruises. It's a good thing I was wearing this towel to cover my hair or that would have aroused questions I don't have time for.
