Nick's Pov
I had just arrived home from the liquor store. I set the bottles on the table quietly before retreating to my room to store the other one. After I was done, I noticed just how quiet it had become in the house.
"Joseph." I called out. I didnt get an answer, but I did start to hear faint yelling down the hall. This cant be good.
The yells were coming from Rodney, Sam and Stevens room. They were other kids that Joe had picked up off the street and invited to live with us. He promised them a roof and a bed; food and water; and cloths; for a small price. They had been recruited to work the same job I did. Sam came first, hes fifteen now. Then Steven, sixteen, and last, Rodney, the youngest at fourteen.
I slowly opened the door. Joe was always yelling at these boys. Joe sometimes yelled at me and hit me, but I would get nothing compared to what they would get.
Joe continued to yell even after he looked up and saw me standing there. "I'm only going to ask one last time, who's is this?" Joe was indicating a bone dry bottle of what I had been given from Jimmy.
Where the hell did he get that from? He couldnt have found my stash because he's only holding one of those bottles. I saw Rodney eye me with pleadingly. Right, I remembered that I had shared my last bottle with Rodney. He probably hid it somewhere and Joe found it. "Joseph, whats going on in here?"
Joe whipped around to face me. "I just found this bottle under their bed. I know there is no way in hell that any of them could afford it unless they stole money from me." Joe spun back to face the line up. "And if none of you are going to be accountable for it, Ill have to punish all of you."
I heard them all gasp in fear. If Steven or Sam had any idea that it was Rodneys, they would have given his name out in a heart beat. I couldnt stand by and let them get in trouble for it. "Joseph, its mine."
Joe stared at me with disgust. "Then what the hell is it doing in their room?"
"I shared some of it." I admitted. If I lied, I was going to be in so much more trouble. Joe was anything but stupid. He would know if I was telling even the slightest of lies.
"With who?" Joe questioned farther.
"Rodney. Please don't punish him." I pleaded.
"Why? He lied to me didn't he?" Joe directed that directly at Rodney. Joe turned back to me. "Go wait in our bedroom." It was an order. I had to follow it.
