[Two Years Ago]

"You can't live like this!" Erik yells as he grabs your wrist, stopping you from going to go see Tyler. School is over and you were heading to the parking lot to get inside Tyler's car. He's waiting for you. He's watching you right now with Erik and he didn't like how Erik grabbed you by the wrist. In fact, he doesn't like the fact that Erik touched you.

You pull your wrist away, knowing that Tyler is watching and that he doesn't like it. You don't want to get in trouble nor get Erik in trouble. You're scared. "I'll see you later," you say weakly as you were heading to Tyler but Erik stops you by running in front of you and blocking you from going any further.

"Enough is enough, (Name)," Erik says as he needs you to stop doing this, "Lean on me. Like how you have before. Please. Don't shut me out because of him!" Erik begs which made you want to cry because you want to lean on him but you're scared. Everything is fine right now. No one is hurt.

No one is going through any bullying or any beating. No one is having a hard time because you're being good. It's a sacrifices you had to make but now you're just scared to leave Tyler. You can't leave him.

You love him.

"Erik, please. I have to go," you beg him to move and to just let you go, "I don't have a choice," you plead with him. You need him to understand that this is the only way. That you have to be with him. That you and Tyler are meant for each other...

"Yes, you do have a choice," you hear your cousin's voice behind you which made you turn around.

Arthur. But he wasn't along. The twins are with him too. Xiao and Jun.

"It's toxic, (Name)," Xiao says as he can't watch you torture yourself like this.

"He's fucking insane. He just wants to control you," Jun reminds you with a worried and pleading expression as he doesn't want you to get in that car.

"(Name), please," Erik begs as he wraps his arms around your shoulder to back hug you. He leans his head down on your shoulder. You raise your hand and gently place it on top of his arm, "I know you're trying to protect all of us but he's hurting you. That isn't love..." he reminds you, "He raped you. He let other rape you. He hits you. He threaten you. Please, (Name). I'm begging you... Don't go to him. Turn him over to the police. Put him behind bars," he pleads.

You pull out to turn around so that you can face him, "And what? Get two years in prison? Or bail? Erik his dad has money. He's white. He's underage..." you remind as tears start to form your eyes but he raises his hand and wipes your tears.

"You can't win a war on your own," he reminds you which made you look at him a little hopeful, "We're all here. Lean on us.," Erik ask of you because he can't stand on the side lines anymore. The only reason why he did in the first place or why everyone did is because you asked of them.

"I know you're trying to protect us..." Erik says softly, "I know you're trying to but you're not protecting us by hurting yourself."

"You're hurting us emotionally," Arthur says and you look at him, "Like Erik said. Like you have told us many times before, you can't win a war on your own," Arthur is also done with all of Tyler's bad doing. He loves you. You're his cousin and he will take care of you like you have with him.

"You have also told us..." Xiao says, getting your attention, "You have told us that watching someone getting hurt is no better than being the abuser..." you started to feel horrible but also terrified because you don't want to go. You really don't.

"You're not on your own," Jun assures, "And it's just one guy," he reminds you, smiling as he wants to make you smile, "And it not just us. There's Jason. Leo. Xavier. Izzy. Everyone. It's us against him. All he has is daddy's money but we also have money. We don't have to play dirty like he does. We just have to do what we do best," Jun smiles and stands proudly.
