The Silent Sister -book 1-

Chapter 25

~Venus~

It's been 5 days, 5 days of being quiet and with dried tears stained on my cheeks.

I love seeing my brothers happy and having fun, but they haven't even noticed me. I know it's part of his plan for them for not remember I exist. He has convinced them that I go to bed early when really he is either beating me or locking me in a room. He even tells them I like to wonder the house or help the maid with their chores. My brothers don't care, Landon is to busy with "his dad" because He offered Landon a job for his company. Luke has been obsessed with all the stuff he bought online, and the chase is to busy having a blast in the game room. Chase even had "dad" buy Tate an Xbox one so they could play online together. Tate has messaged me once a day but he only says hi and then never reply after that. I'm starting to think I really am becoming invisible.

Today is going to be the worst, my dad, or whoever he is has been planning on telling everyone tonight. I'm scared, honestly, I don't know how my brothers will react. I don't even think they will want to be my brothers after they hear this. I'm currently stuck in his office, while he is filling out paperwork. He doesn't let roam the house, I've only spent time in my room, his office, the kitchen, and the bathroom.  He's quiet today, which scares me. 

"Alright little brat, make sure your things are packed by tonight. Your brother, well my sons are going to never want to see you again after they hear you're not actually their sister." He spoke laughing. 

I couldn't take it anymore, I stood up from my chair shocking him a little. 

"Enough! I am their sister, But I was lucky enough to not be stuck with you as my birth father." I shouted loudly hoping one of my brothers would hear. Of course, they didn't 

He stood up with anger filling his body. He stomped over to me, causing me to back up a little. Unfortunately, I was to slow and he caught my arm. Is hand was able to wrap around my upper arm causing a dark purple bruise. 

"Wanna say that again, you little brat" I spoke with venom well he squeezed my arm harder. 

I felt so weak, I was tired. I haven't eaten in a day and I feel like I am going to puke. I felt tears hitting my eyes, I just wanted this to be over.

"N-no Sir," I say quietly hoping he wouldn't hit me again.

"that's what I thought" He spoke ripping his hand awake from my arm.  

I watched as he walked back to his seat behind the desk. I slowly walked back over to my chair that sat in front of the desk. 

I couldn't help but think of a life without my brothers, without three annoying older boys who mocked and tease me all day. I was going to miss them, I was going to miss them forcing me to take my meds. I was going to miss them being there when I cried or was sick. Then it hit me .....Tate. 

"can I go to my room please?" I asked barely above a whisper. 

"Yep, you're getting annoying anyway, pack everything and I'll get you for dinner"  He said forcing me into my so-called room. 

He locked the door behind me and most likely went to hang out with the boys. I waited a few seconds making sure he wouldn't come back in, then I rushed over to my suitcase and pulled out my phone. I scrolled through my apps till I found my contacts and picked Tate's to message

V: Tate, please answer

T: Sunshine? what's up? how's your dad's? 

I felt tears hit my eyes, I didn't want to lie to him. But then he would tell one of my brothers and i couldn't let that happen

V: I miss you, I really miss you, Tate,

T: Sunshine I miss you too. Your brothers said that you've been distant. They said you like being left alone all the time. I guess you really do like it there

I so badly wanted to tell him, I wanted to tell him everything. But the one thing I want to tell him tonight is how I really feel about him. I want him to no know before I disappear. 

V: Tate, I know we have been friends for a decade, maybe even more. Tate, I love you, I love you so much and I just want you to know that

T: Venus, are you okay? I mean I love you too, but why couldn't you tell me this when you got back. Why now? What's happening, you can tell me? 

V: I love you, Tate. I have to go, it's time for dinner

I quickly shut off my phone and tried to stop crying, but I couldn't. I didn't want this to happen this way, I want my brothers to accept that we don't have the same dad. They are still my brothers. I need them to still be my brothers. I quickly packed my stuff and heard my door being unlocked. the door opened slightly to find him standing there. 

"Come on Brat, dinner time" He smiled evilly grabbed my suitcase and took it to the front door well I walked into the dining room. 

There all three of my brothers sat down laughing at each other. They looked so happy. They looked like they belonged. I would rather them be happy here then me be happy with them. 

I took my seat at the opposite side of the table, away from everyone. All three of my brothers looked at me with slight smiles which made me feel happy for a split second.

"Hey Vee, how was your day?" Chase asked

I loved hearing his voice, I was going to miss it.

"It was great, I helped the maids clean the kitchen and the basement" I answered quietly.

Chase looked surprised that I actually spoke. So did everyone else, I even saw Landon smiled.

"That's great, did you take your pills today?" Landon asked sharply.

I simply nodded my head. My heart hurt, I lied to my brother that I haven't talked to in day. I honestly miss Landon forcing me to take me meds. But his "dad" took them from me two days ago. I'm honestly terrified of have a seizure now. My brothers probably won't even know and their horrible father would probably just leave me and hope I died.

I snapped out of my thoughts when a plate of rice and chicken was placed in front of me. I looked over at everyone else and and saw they have a large amount of food on there plates. I barley have enough to covers a quarter of the plate. Luke looked over and looked a little mad.

"Why is Vee's dinner so small?" Luke asked while looked over at his dad.

"W-well, Venus Ater after helping the maids. I didn't want her stomach to hurt because she ate to much." I watched in shock how everyone believed him.

I quickly ate my small portion as I was starving. My heart dropped when the doorbell rang. I felt tears hit my eyes.

"I'll get it" My brothers' father said getting up.

"I love you guys" I blurted out hoping none of them could see my face.

"W-we love you too Vee, are you okay?" Landon asked concerned.

But of course the moment was ruined when their dad came back into the room with a man who I looked similar too.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Kasher"
