I took one of the wipes out of the container and started wiping off my make up. I heard different in takes of breath from around the room. I didn't stop until I knew all of my make up was off. I then pulled off my shirt and I heard the murmurs of the guys.
"Bri," Julian whispered as tears welled up in his eyes. I felt the tears well up in my eyes as I stared at the heart broken look on my cousin's face. He walked over to me and picked me and placed me on his lap. I turned into his neck and just started sobbing. I heard the boys shifting behind us and soon felt that rubbing my back or leg.
"I am so sorry. I tried to get away but I couldn't. Every time I tried to break up with him, he would threaten me. I am so sorry," I cried into Julian's chest. I was hiccuping from crying so hard.
"Shh, shh, Bri. You are going to be ok. We got you," Julian cooed as he rocked us back and forth. He was running his fingers through my hair and it was comforting since that is what he would do when we were younger and I got hurt.
"Yeah Bri, we are going to teach Joe a lesson," Joshua said as he sat next to Julian's legs on the floor. I let out a choked laugh and gave them a blurry smiles.
"Thanks guys," I sniffled.
"Why don't you take a hot bath, Bri," Thomas suggested," and then we can watch whatever movie you want."
"Any movie," I asked.
"Any movie," Manuel promised.
"Great. Thanks. I'll be right back," I said as I got up from Julian's lap and gave each boy a kiss on the cheek. I took the dirty make up wipes and and the container and went back to my room. I walked into my bathroom and started to run a bath. I added some bubbles and scents, so to soothe my muscles. I slowly stripped out of my clothes and waited until the water was nice and steaming. I slipped in and I felt my muscles relax. I sat in the hot water until it started to become cold. I hard a shout and some rumbling from my living room but thought it was the boys messing around. I soon climbed out of the tub and drained the water as I got dress. I threw on a pair of Julian's old sweatpants that I had to roll like 5 times so that they stayed on my hips. I also put a tank top on and a large fluffy cardigan and my hair into a messy bun. I slid my glasses on as I checked my bed and and dresser for my phone.
"Hey guys," I asked as I walked into my kitchen where I heard the boys talking," have any of you seen my phones?"
"Uh yeah," Manuel said as he handed me my phone.
"What the fuck are those from," I asked as I grabbed his hands. His knuckles were covered with some cuts. I looked around and saw all of the guys nursing their knuckles. "What did you idiots do?"
"We took care of Joe," Julian said with a proud smile.
"What do you mean you took care of Joe," I asked as I glanced between them.
"Let's just say," Joshua said," he won't be bothering you ever again." When I raised my eyebrow at him, he continued," We texted him from your phone to come over. We then threatened him and he swung so we beat him up."
"I love you guys so much," I said as I pulled the boys into a hug," but you are so dumb. Now let's watch a movie."
We all walked into the living room with different snacks. Joshua and Thomas took the love seat while Manuel, Julian and I took the big couch. Julian and Manuel took the ends while I spread myself across the two. I had my head laying on Julian's chest while my legs were sprawled across Manuel's lap. I put on "Call Me By Your Name." The guys groaned.
"Hey no complaining. You guys said I could pick any movie," I said as I snuggled into the two guys surrounding me. And for the next 2 hours, I sat enthralled with Timothee Chalamet's acting as Julian ran his fingers through my hair again. I didn't even notice that the other three men had fallen asleep until the ending credits rolled through. I glanced away from the tv to notice that only Julian was still awake besides me.
"Hi kleines Lamm," Julian said as he looked down at me.
"Hi bubs. Thanks so much for helping me. It really means a lot to me."
"No problem Bri. I just wished I could have helped you sooner. But next time, and there better be no next time, tell me sooner. I love you and just want to keep you safe."
"I love you too, Julian," I responded as I wrapped my arms around him and soon fell asleep surrounded by my best friends and protectors.

"kleines Lamm" means little lamb. Don't hate me if that's not right. I don't know German, I just know how to use Google Translate
