Chapter Two: Broken

Tia's POV:
Theo's whole body shifted as he took in the situation in front of him. He seemed tense but instead of being angry he was dead calm and serious; it was almost like he had flicked a switch.

"There is no need for violence Calvino."

His eyes darted over to meet Justin and for a brief second I could have sworn their was a hint of panic, of fear that something was going to happen to Justin but no sooner was it there it was gone.  Justin was the first to look away as he turn his attention to me, I could see he was concerned and I was starting to see why they had said I'd be safe with them.

Calvino narrowed his eyes at Theo before he turned catching Justin just as he dropped his gaze but if his intention was to not draw attention to me he failed because I felt Calvino's eyes looking up and down my body making my skin crawl.

"I see you boys have a new pet how unfortunate for her."

Pet? What the hell is he talking about?! Theo's face harderned and the sound of his fists hitting the table was about the only sound in the room. I started to hear Justin struggling and I dug my nails into my hand to stop myself from showing how panicked I really was.

"Leave her alone Calvino!"

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest I could almost hear it in my ears. Please Justin for God sake please just keep your mouth shut now is not the time to open your mouth to defend me.

"Oh no this is too precious. Now why oh why would you want to defend her? What is she to you, what could she be?"

Justin went silent; I don't think I've ever seen him being scared into silence well that's not strictly true but I've worked to hard to push away those memories to remember them now. I spared a glance at Theo who had this look on his face, it was like he was planning his next move which unfortunately looks like a stupid move. Calvino insane laughter broke the silence as he speed walked over to Justin placing a gun to his temple.

"You better start talking."

Justin remained silent and looked out the window. Does he not realize he's got a gun point at his head, a real gun!!

"Nothing, no witty comeback. My has the great Justin Webb fallen silent. How interesting? I was led to believe you always had an answer for everything, a smart ass I don't see much."

Theo looked pissed, he actually looked pissed off now but there was something else; I couldn't tell what it was fear maybe whatever it was it made him take a step forward. The guy at the door pulled out a gun and pointed it at Theo making him stop. Calvino noticed out if the corner of his eye and turned so he was still holding the gun at Justin but now facing Theo.

"Of course, why am I not surprised. The infamous Theo Webb always coming to the aid of his brother, never letting anyone say a bad word or do anything to hurt his brother but your not in charge here I am so if you move one more time I'll shot him."

Theo stopped dead in his tracks making Calvino smirk as he left Justin's side and headed straight for me. He stopped right in front of me shooing away the man holding me who silently took Calvino place holding a gun to Justin's head what is this music statues. Do they have to hold o gun to Justin's head?!

"Now maybe you might answer my question. Who might you be, your not a family member I would know so who are you?!!"

Justin looked up and tried to fight again like he doesn't even have a gun to his head. Theo thankfully remained in his place at least one of them isn't so bloody reckless.

"Justin it's okay, Justin looked at me I'm okay. Why the hell should I tell you anything, you can't just barge in here making demands."

Calvino just laughed at me and if he wasn't holding a gun I'd do what I've always wanted to do to the people who bullied me all my life. Theo looked at me like he had just read my mind but hey I've taken enough shit in my life I'm not taking it from this guy gun or no gun. Justin just continued to fight which was no surprise he never listens.

"Brave little thing aren't you, very brave. She's a keeper Mr Webb that is if; she survives of course."

You could practically see the fire in Theo's eyes and Justin fought harder like his life depended on it,  I wanted to close my eyes but they wouldn't close I looked Calvino right in the eye if he was going to kill me, he was going to look at me in the eye.

"Tia! Please, don't. Calvino please she's my sister leave her alone."

Justin yelled as he final got free, Theo closed his eyes before looking at Calvino who had walked away from me and towards Justin. Justin please just shut up!

"How is she your sister Mr Webb that would make her your sister too now wouldn't it Theo. Hhuuummm...."

He put the gun to his lips like he was thinking, it was like watching the Joker come up with a crazy scheme before he had a light bulb moment and pointed the gun back at Justin.

"That would mean your not related to Mr Webb so your a what.."

Theo took a step forward, he'd clearly had enough watching this whole scene play out. I take it back there both reckless. Calvino didn't even look back before a sickening grin played upon his lips.

"Don't take one more step Theo there's a good lad but I did say if you moved another step I would starting shooting."

The sound of the gun going off echoed through the room it was like the sound bounced off the walls making an echo every time it hit another wall. Calvino lips curled into a permanent smile, Justin looked horrified and Theo, he looked like he was holding on to his last thread of patience.

I felt my hands reach up the my stomach before I finally looked down and saw blood coat my hands.

"Tia? Shit, Tia!"

My legs gave out and I fell into my brother's arms. He gently held me tight against his chest pressing his hands down on the gun shot wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

"Tia hey it's your turn to look at me okay. Just keep breathing okay. You shot her! She has nothing to do with any of this!"

Justin moved his hands to take a quick look at the wound before applying pressure again. Theo's whole body went rigid and if you could see angry it would look like Theo.

"Oh my dear Justin of course she's apart of this, she has everything to do with this. She's proven that you are not a Webb."

Justin looked down at me and moved my hands to replace his own making me groan out in pain before he got up off the floor. I tried to reach out for him both Theo and I knew he was going to do something stupid but neither of us could do a single thing about it.

"I am a Webb and Tatiana is my sister."

I looked up to see Theo's face he was staring at me as if I was dying, before we both shifted our gaze to Justin. He was standing face to face with Calvino. 

"J..Justin."

I spat out some blood as I coughed and Justin's head shot down to me. Why am I finding it hard to breath. Focus Tia focus, need to get Justin away from Calvino. Need to take deep breath.

"It's okay Tia. Your going to be okay. Tia, Tatiana look at me."

My eyes started to close but I still caught a glimpse of how angry Justin had become. Theo looked two seconds away from snapping. The sound of a second gun shot pushed me to open my eyes to see Justin hit the floor.

"Justin?"

I stretched out my hand to hold his and he took mine squeezed it gently as he turned his head to look at me. This is not how I pictured today. Seeing Justin look broken again was a sight I never wanted to ever see ever again.

"It's alright T, I'm alright."

He coughed out some blood and I squeezed his hand back. He looked into my eyes before they slowly started to close. I don't think he's ever called me T before.

I tried to get Justin to open his eyes as the sound of banging sounded throughout the room. I tried to move, to speak but I could barely open my eyes. I couldn't even comprehend what was going on until Theo raced over picking Justin up off the floor.

"Hold on Just, I'm here. Hold on for me."
