[@Caits][@Vicier] [color=orange]The twins[/color] [hr] Gage did not even flinch when she said she hated them. [color=pink]"I hate them too."[/color] he lightly kissed her forehead and continued to hold her in his arms. He then sighed. [color=pink]"Trust me I don't want to go back......but I can't go back to the foster care system. I'd lose you"[/color] he shook his head. [color=pink]"And I need to be there for Aron....ill be okay I promise I'll be okay"[/color] his voice sounded confident but it was clear he wasn't sure about that. Aron looked at Cody and then looked down. [color=lightgreen]"I don't want to go back but what other choices do I have"[/color] his voice was soft and then he was dragged over to Gage and Syleste. He looked at Gage who shrugged. Gage looked at Cody and nodded. He then pulled off his shirt after putting his duffel down next to the basket revealing what a mess it was. Long scratches that were deep swollen and bruised. The bruises looked angry and it definitly looked like he was whipped with something. He then pulled Syleste to him after Cody took the kit. [color=pink]"This will....hurt."[/color] as in he needed her for support even though there were a few scratches on his chest which were no where near as bad as his back. Aron looked at Cody and shook his head. [color=lightgreen]"This was my fault"[/color] Gage snapped his attention up. [color=pink]"Are you happy with Cody?"[/color] Aron looked at his brother clearly very close to breaking down. [color=lightgreen]"Yes"[/color] Gage's eyes bored into his brothers. [color=pink]"Theb it was worth it....and it's not your fault you know damn well mom and dad would have been fine and probably even invited Cody over. Remember that"[/color] Gage then shot a look at Cody. The message was clear. [i]dont hurt my brother[/i]
