One of them being her Gigi and PawPaw's Foster Son Caleb Jones 26, the other three are Harrison
" Sin" Foster 30 , Weston Carter 28 , Chandler Adams 25
She's know them since she was 12 they grew up together
They have had dates before but nothing to serious since she was away at school
The Boys didn't want to hold her back from anything but always kept an Eye on her even at College
They are apart of the same Group as Her Parents are, But an all Dog Team
Pulling into the drive way of her parents place she knew there would be more questions that she couldn't honestly answer nor did she really want to if she told them She is sure there would be more than one of her papas in jail for murder
Getting out of the car fixing her sleeves on her shirt to cover the bruises grabbing her bag she walked slowly up the steps of the porch
Grabbing the handle on the screen door it creaks open Hope walks in to the house the familiar smell of home hits her causing her eyes to water
" Hopie your home early " Alexander says as he hugs her
"Yeah buddy I am is Mama or Papas home " Hope asked
" Mama and Papa Chase Papa Kota and Papa Corey are all out getting groceries " Alexander says
" Oh Is Papa Owen or Papa Axel here " She asked looking around
" I think both are in the study , Papa Brandon and Papa North are in the garage working on a bike "
" Okay I'm going to go up to my room and drop off my bag I'll go find them in a minute "
" Okay Hopie "
" I got Word she left this morning and is headed home "
"Good I know that asshole did something to her Trent said that she would have to tell us he said that if she didn't tell us in a week That he would "
" That's if we can convince her too "
"I'm sure we can she trust us as she should "
Peaking around the corner she saw Caleb and Weston
Caleb is just as handsome as the last time Hope saw him four months ago
His dark brown hair is a little longer his beard is stubble which Hope knows he will shave off in a day or two those bright green are still gorgeous
Hope spots another tattoo on his arm it looks like initials inside a small Phoenix his skin is a rich caramel which makes his eyes pop
His 6'3 frame fills the doorframe he is currently standing in
Caleb was in his Fireman Uniform
Weston has shaved his head since the last time Hope saw him he has stubble growing the kind that feels soft when you run your hand over it
His beard is short and neatly trimmed bright Blue eyes
Westons 6'2 frame blocks the back hallway he had his suite on so he must have come from the office of BlackBourne and Associates Realty Company
Turning tail she heads down the hall to the steps not looking where she is going falling backwards letting out a squeal arms catch her pulling her back into them
The scent hit her nose and the sound of footsteps that were running towards her
" Angel "
That voice causes shivers down Hopes spine
" Presley Jayden "
Keeping her head in the warm chest of the one that caught her she didn't want to let go she finally felt safe for the first time in a month
Her body immediately relaxed in the hold
Hope knew who it was they are the only one that calls her by her given name ... Harrison or as every girl in Charleston calls him Dr Sin because god he's sinful Short Black Hair Bright Blue Eyes Trimmed Beard and Tattoos an Eight Pack Of Abs and those muscles well over 6'6 frame blocks the stairwell
He had on his white coat that had MUSC on it just like Papa Sean and Pawpaw
" Presley Jayden " Sin said softly as he kissed the top of her head
Pulling back she let go of Sin
Then looked up at him since he towers over her 4'11 frame
His bright blue eyes met hers
" Sorry I should have paid more attention " Hope said dropping her eyes
" It's okay Mi Tesoro what brings you home so early I thought you weren't due home until Sunday " Sin asked even though he already knew she left this morning
" I finished my exam early and left didn't need to stay" Hope tells him
Sin cups her chin bringing her eyes back up to meet his it was like he was searching her eyes it wasn't until he saw what he wanted that he let go of her chin
Footsteps came up the stairs
" Are we having a meeting in the hallway " Papa Sean said
" Actually we are " Hope said back
"Hope " Papa Sean said
Sin moves out of the way showing Chandler who is wearing a Superman shirt that was right across his chest his hair was cropped his black rimmed glasses hide his hazel eyes but Hope always sees them no matter if he is wearing his glasses or when he wears his contacts
A tribal tattoo peaks out from his sleeve, Chandler looked like he just came from his Side Job of Landscaping but his true passion is Computers which he works with Papa Corey and Papa Kota at BlackBourne Computer Securities
"Papa" Hope says
Sean pulled his daughter into his arms hugging her tightly
Hope winces in pain gritting her teeth to keep from crying out in pain
Sean let go of her
"Presley Jayden Hope BlackBourne I know something is wrong but I am going to give you twenty four hours but you need to tell one of us preferably not Boone or Raven yet you can even talk to Caleb , Weston , Harrison or Chandler but talk ... You four hear me I want to know what's wrong in 24 hours if not sooner or I will call a family meeting with all parents " Sean threatens
" I will " Hope squeaks out
" Hope you know that you can come to any of us and we won't judge you we only want to help " Papa Sean said
" I know " Hope responded
" I'll leave you five but remember 24 hrs "
A hand took Hopes linking their fingers
Turning to see Caleb next to her
"Come on Angel lets go find a spot to talk " Caleb says
Dragging her down the backstair case and out the back doors towards the cars
Caleb opens the door for her " Get in we are going to the apartment so we can have a private conversation " He says
" I'll text Sean and let him know " Sin says as he heads to his truck
Fifteen minutes later they arrive at Jasper Sargent
It was a silent drive over Hope was lost in her own thoughts so When they pulled in and parked it took Caleb a few minutes to get Her attention so she would get out
Taking the elevator up to the top floor Caleb leads her down the hallway to the apartment opening it letting her go in first
This was the first time she had been in the apartment that Caleb shares with Weston , Sin and Chandler
It has their style through the main living area her eyes meet the wall of windows that look out over the river
It draws her to it Water has always had a calming effect on her every since Papa Silas would take her out on the boat especially if she was sick it would always help her fall asleep Her Parents even redid the pool to make it an indoor one so that if she was sick the sound of the water lapping in the pool would soothe her
Standing there looking out Just watching the water when she sees Calebs reflection in the windows coming up behind her he stops and watches her for a moment then stands behind her wrapping his arms around her waist
Leaning down to inhale her scent
Hope leans back into Caleb letting the warmth of his body surround her
They stand like this until they both hear the clink of keys into a bowl
Both look into the reflection of the windows to see Chandler , Weston and Sin had Come in they saw them standing there
Hope sees the smiles that grace all of their faces
Before she pulls away
" Awe Angel why you pull away your so cuddly " Caleb said
Turning to face him she gives him a look
Caleb just laughs takes her hands in his
" You need to work on your murderous look Angel , come lets go sit and talk "
Leading her to the couch he let go of her hands
Sitting down slowly as to not aggravate her injuries Hope got comfortable
" Presley Jayden Tells Us What happen we all know something did We want to help you in anyway we can " Sin says
Looking Around the room for a moment then dropping her gaze to her hands which were clasp together
" I don't know how to start this " Hope tells them
" Start from the beginning Pumpkin " Weston said his voice gravely but warm
" Um it's complicated " Hope says trying to think of a way to get of telling them
" Break it down into smaller steps Little Lamb " Chandler said
Taking a deep breath that causes her to grimace in pain she stands up walking away from them to the wall of windows
Keeping her eyes out on the water Hope begins to speak
" About two days ago Kurt the guy I was interested in he took me to a Frat Party things were going fine I had a cup with some mix drink in it that I was sipping from since I didn't want to get drunk I didn't know all the people there and Papa Brandon always said if I drink at a party to make sure I keep hold of my beverage and sip don't down it so that's what I was doing I had to use the bathroom so I handed my cup to Kurt then went to the bathroom came back and took a small sip it tastes the same yet different when I asked Kurt he said he just topped it off with some more of the drink
But a few minutes later I felt funny I was stumbling around Kurt caught before I fell picked me up tossing me over his shoulder he carried me upstairs to one of the bedrooms I can remember him laying me down on the bed his hands on me when I woke up I was naked bruised across my chest, ribs and legs and bite marks on both boobs I reached for my phone and texted Lindsey and when she came to get me she brought Trent and Micah who both saw the damage that was done to me , Trent wrapped me up in a blanket and carried me out
They took me to the hospital to get checked out they did xrays which found 2 broken ribs and 3 bruises ones along with what they think is a knife wound along my inner thigh they had to stitch up , a rape kit , gave me the Morning after pill and a few pain medications along with instructions to contact my OBGYN for a Follow up in a week and for me to take it easy "
The room is completely silent
Hope feels the tears that are falling down her face splash down on her shirt
" Do you know if he did rape you or was this just a precaution " Chandler asked you could hear the emotion in his voice
" I don't remember, there are parts of the night that are a total blur I just know that my thighs have hand print bruises along with the knife wound , From what the ER doctor said I didn't have any semen but I did have spermicide residue from a condom so I am guessing he did " Hope answers
" I'm going to Kill Him " Sin says as he stands up flipping the coffee table over
" I think you will have to stand in a long line once My Papas find out especially Papa Boone and Papa Raven " Hope says
"You know you have to tell your family we will be with when you do Presley Jayden We will not let you go through this alone Mi Tesoro " Sin said as he made her turn around to face him
" He's right Little Lamb all four of us will be there and the sooner you tell them the better it won't be easy but I promise you it will make you feel better because I know you don't like to lie to your parents "Chandler said
" But they will be disappointed in me I didn't do what I have been taught I should have tossed the drink but I didn't " Hope tells them
"No No Angel don't beat yourself up about this Kurt took advantage of your trust in him This is all on him" Caleb tells her
By this time all four of them surround her enclosing her in a circle instead of feeling like she was trapped Hope felted the love coming around her
A yawn escaped her mouth before she could cover it
"Little Lamb when was the last time you slept " Chandler asked
" I haven't well minus a few hours when Trent made me lay down he stayed with me for about four hours"
" Go pick a room I want you to go shower if you can I'll come in and check your leg then I want you sleep after your shower leave everything else to us " Sin said with a very stern voice almost like Papa Owen
