I finally decided to ask him all the questions that have been running through my mind.
"How do you know that? How long have you been watching me? And why?" I couldn't see my face, but i'm pretty sure I have a puzzled look on.
"That's not important right now, but why wont you go out with me?" He asked with his puppy green eyes starring straight at mine.
"Because you tried to kidnap me. Take me without my will. And at night." I was whispering now looking around as people walked by us to their cars in the parking lot.
He was still staring at me and when I knew he wasn't going to answer my questions I turned away from him moving around him to get to my cars door. He moved quickly placing his big hand on my car not allowing me to open it. I turned around and his body was trapping me against the car. His eyes were now at my eye level. He placed both his arms on the car next to my head licking his pink plump up lips. I could feel his breath as he reach forward to place a kiss on my lips, but I turned my face making his pink lips kiss my cheek I put my hands at his chest pushing him away from me.
He took a few steps back with a smirk on his face. I quickly reach for my iPod which was still in his hand, but before I could get it he moved his hand up again. I was to angry to care, I got in my car and locked the doors before he could try to get in. I twisted the key starting up the engine. I looked out through my window and saw Harry, a smirk still on his face. I put the car in reverse to exit the parking lot. I looked back to see him getting inside his car as I entered the road.

I had arrived a little late to pick my brothers up, but it wasn't the first time. They always waited patiently for me to arrive. That's one thing that they have and I don't. Patience.
We were inside our house now that our parents had left us, when I noticed that Leo had a bruise on his arm as he lifted his hoodie off throwing in on the sofa. He sat down turning on the TV kicking his shoes off getting comfortable. I ran to him lifting up the sleeve of his shirt.
"What is this? What happened to you Leo?" I questioned, holding on to his arm lightly trying not to hurt him.
"Umm I was.. umm running and bumped into the corner of a wall." He said looking at the floor. I could tell he was lying and he knew that I knew. We was a horrible liar and I could see right through all of my brothers lies.
"Stop lying, and tell me who hurt you because I ain't buying the (I bumped into something story)." As I was talking I could see from the corner of my eye Alex, who had been sitting on the dinning table doing homework, was now standing at the entrance of the living room.
"It was a group of older boys who were pushing us around." I heard Alex say quietly. Leo shot Him a look trying to cut him off shaking his head. My heart sunk when he said `us`. He too was hurt. I could feel my blood start to boil, as I said I don't have much patience.
"Are you getting bullied and aren't telling me?" I asked my voice quieter and more mellow. I wanted to be there for them they have been through so much and it killed me to see them suffer. "Who's bulling you?"
"Its a group of boys who wants me to join their gang. I had told them no before and walked away, but today they saw both of us alone so they started to push Alex first trying to get me angry so I would fight back. I didn't so they started to punch my body. They didn't want to punch my face though because they know Uriel." I started to hug Leo while he was speaking, but he kept pulling away. He was 13 now and didn't want to be babied. "You know cause Uriel is stronger and his reputation is out there. But don't worry I wont joing the gang I wont I promise. I promise." He was looking at me now making sure I believed him. I have a bad temper and we all knew that.
I smiled at him. "Of course I believe you and I like that you didn't fight back. Although I didn't like that you didn't tell me. Next time tell me so I could kick their ass. Or better yet we'll tell Uriel."
Leo's eyes widened. "No! I don't want him to go to jail. That's why I didn't want to tell you or Uriel, because you guys would hurt them and end up in jail. Then I'd be all alone with Alex." He said while holding on to my arm pleading.
"Its ok I wont tell Uriel" I said trying to sit him down on the couch. "But I think Ima put both you and Alex in boxing classes after school." I turned to look at Alex who was now sitting on the other side of the sofa playing with his hands. "So you guys could have something to do after school and could learn how to defend yourselves."
They both looked at me with a `are you crazy` look. I was laughing now at their face expressions. They had never been violent boys, never really fought with other kids at school they were good boys. But in the other hand Uriel and I have always had a bad temper. We would let our emotions out through anger and violence, we got that from our father. But between me and Uriel, I had it worse. Leo and Alex were more calm and patient like our mother.
"But... I'm too little." Alex spoke up trying to get away from having to go.
"No your not. Ima talk to Uriel and by next Monday hopefully put you guys in a class." I smiled sitting in between them pulling them closer to me. "Now go on. Do your homework, both of you while I start dinner." I said getting off the comfortable sofa.
We all had finished eating dinner, telling Uriel about the boys going to school and was now in my room. When I heard a familiar little voice running through my bedroom door. "Tiaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" It was my 3 year old nephew Jacob followed by Domanic Jr. my 1 year old nephew. They jumped on my bed hugging and kissing me. I hadn't seen them in 2 weeks since they had gone with their mother, my sis-in-law to Texas. I had miss them running around through the house. It was empty without them and I know Uriel really missed them as well. He was not able to go due to work.
"Could we go walk Chikis Tia?" Jacob asked. Even though Jacob isn't my brothers son, my sis-in-law had him before he met my brother, I loved him and he loved me. My name was always hard for him say, Estrella, so he called me Tia meaning aunt in Spanish. Or Star, since Estrella means star in Spanish.
I was a little hesitant to say `yes` because I didn't want Harry to show up again. Since he said, he has been watching me. But F It. He couldn't possibly hurt me or kidnap me when I had my nephews. Right?
"How do you know that? How long have you been watching me? And why?" I couldn't see my face, but i'm pretty sure I have a puzzled look on.
"That's not important right now, but why wont you go out with me?" He asked with his puppy green eyes starring straight at mine.
