“I think you should tell him Tessa” she says firmly. I start to shake my head no. But she cuts me off “if you don't Tessa I will you got me. I wont loose you do you understand. Your like my sister. Please let him help. I know he will.” lifting my head I nod.
“I’ll tell him but not right now. Tonight. Okay. I’ll tell him tonight. I think I’m going to head home and grab a few things. I’ll meet you at yours okay.” I smile at her. Or I try but I can tell by the look on her face it fell short. She nods and gives me squeeze before letting go.
Turning around I walk or more like run out of there and to my car.
Chapter 18
Ella
When Aiden came back and looked at me. I knew something was wrong. Really wrong. I head to the girls bathroom where he said she ran to.
Slowly stepping inside I whispered out her name. The sight that greeted me. Broke my heart. My fierce friend was crying. She was hunched in on herself and shaking.
She promised to tell Adien tonight and I’m gonna make sure she does. I promised her that I know my brother well. Hes going to kill this sick bastard. I just know he will.
Slowly walking out of the bathroom I make my way to my brothers locker.
Looking at him. Taking in the look on his face. If I was anyone else. I would have turned tail and run like my life deepened on it. And it might well have been. But I’m not anyone else. I’m his sister and boy does he look pissed.
“What the fuck is going on Ella? And don’t even think about lying to me.” He demanded. He’s really not going to like my answer.
“I cant tell you that Adien. Its her story to tell.” I say
“Bullshit Ella. I don’t give a flying fuck if its her story or not. I want answers and I want them now.” he all but roared at me.
“Just what I fucking said Adien. I cant tell you but she promised to tell you tonight. And if she doesn’t I promise I will tell you tomorrow okay!” I demand
I watch his shoulders relax a little as he nods his head. “Were is she?” he asks “She went home to get some more cloths. She said she'll meet us at home. But I mean it Adien you give her time to tell you tonight. You let her come to you. You got me!” I say fiercely once again he nods before heading off to god knows were.
Chapter 19
Tessa
Pulling up to my house I take a deep breath “I can do this” I whisper to my self. Straightening my spine. And pulling my shoulders back. I force my chin high. As I walk to the front door. Scanning everything out of the corner of my eyes.
Walking inside I feel the tension in my body ease slightly. Then I remember he may have been here and just like that my body is drawn tight like a bow string.
Walking stiffly up the steps I feel like my feet are made of lead. My mind is screaming turn around and leave you don’t want to see this. Like it already knows something it wrong.
I push forward. I wont let him beat me. I just wont. I can do this I say it like a mantra in my head. I'm better then this. I'm stronger.
Walking into my room I look around and see nothing out of place. Relaxing a little I quickly fill a duffel bag with cloths. Not bothering to look. I reaching into my underwear drawer only to come up empty.
My head snaps around I look down so my eyes can see what my brain already knows. Hes been here in my house. In my room. In my drawer and he took all my underwear. I mean all of it. Bras and panties.
I feel the blood drain from my face. If he did this what else could he have done. With renewed eyes I scan my room looking at every detail. My eyes go back to my wrinkled bed.
Forcing my feet to move. I make my way over to it and look down.. There was a pair of my underwear siting in the middle of the bed. How I missed it is beyond me.
My black lace panties were covered in dried white stains. I didn’t need to think to hard to know what he did with those panties.
Diverting my eyes I notice a white envelope on the bed. With shaking hands I slowly open it. pictures spill out onto my bed. Some of me at school, at the store, on my way to Ella's house.
Then there are pictures of a mans hands holding my underwear, a mans hand stroking a cock and holding my panties in the other, and some of me sleeping in my bed. That last one scared me to no end. My knees almost gave out the fear was that strong.
The one were hes jacking off made my stomach protest and lurch. Turning in a circle I quickly yet blindly scan my room. Fear has taken control of my body. I snatch my bag and bolt out the door. Then the house like it was on fire.
Getting into my car I quickly speed off while reaching for my phone. I didn’t want to stop not for a second. Calling Ella. I feel panic's grip tighten as it rings. What if she doesn't answer? what would I do?
“Tessa are you there?” I hear Ella’s sweet voice. I feel some relief but not much. I'm not safe not yet not even a little bit.
“Tessa?” shit I haven’t answered her. “Ella! Are you home?” I breath out almost as if he might hear me. “no” she responded she sounded concerned and a little confused.
“Are you okay Tessa?” I let out a little sob in response “I'm on my way Tessa. You meet me there okay. Don’t stop I think one of the guys is there he'll let you in.” her voice sound strained as if she were running.
I didn't even tell her what was going on shes that good of a friend. She didn't ask she knows I’ll tell her when I see her. “Okay” I say weakly.
“Ella were the hell are you going and why are you running?” I hear Adiens voice in the back round. Shit I can't deal with him right now. I just can't he'll want to know whats going on. I’m not ready to tell him.
“Home Adien okay. I’m going home” Ella says a little breathless “ Whats the rush?” Adien asked. You can hear it in his voice he knows somethings up.
“Forget it Adien” then to me. “I'll see you at the house okay. I’m headed there in a minute I promise I’ll be quick” Ella whispers fiercely before hanging up.
Pulling up in the driveway the gates open for me I didn't even need to stop. Slamming on the brakes and grabbing my bag I make a run for it.
The door opens and some guy I think his name was Frank? Mike? Oh well I don't give two shits right now. I just barge right in and head for Ella’s room.
I need to shower. I can't take it I feel so dirty. So violated. Used up. Dropping the bag on her bed I pull out a pair of yoga pants and a cami nothing else. No underwear. I shiver in revolution at the thought of underwear on the bright side no pantie lining.
Pushing into the bathroom. I turn the water on as hot as it will go before stepping in. I scrub my skin pink and still don’t stop.
The sobs started coming. As I slid down the wall and collapsed in the tub letting the blistering hot water pelt my body.
I have no idea how long I was in the shower. But I could hear voices in the other room straining my ears I could just make out Adiens voice “What the fuck is going on Ella?” he demands.
“Not right now Adien. Okay. Please just leave” she started off fierce but at the end. It sounded almost defeated
“You will tell me tonight do you understand?” he shouted the order. “Yes! Now leave Adien.” I hear foot steps then a door slamming.
“Tessa?” I hear knocking on the door. “I'll be right out” my voice sounded strained to my own ears.
Standing up I shut off the water and get dressed slowly. Opening the door I pop my head out a little and scan the room and only see Ella.
“What happened Tessa?” she asks gently
Taking a deep breath I slowly explain about going home to pack. Finding the empty drawer. Then dirty underwear and the photos.
“Oh god Tessa” she chokes out before grabbing me in a hug. I let the tears flow freely and loudly not caring if anyone hears me at this point.
I think I may have been pushed over the deep end. Ella strokes my back gently “We need to go to the store and get you some underwear okay? All new stuff” I just nod my head. More sobs rake my body.
I hear a
crash as the door slams into the wall. I let out a scream of fright as I turn around and dam near crab walk backwards.
Looking at Adien holding a gun as he scans the room “What the fuck is going on in here? I heard crying like someone was fucking dieing” Adien demands loudly.
He scans my body pausing on my ass and whoha were he can clearly see no underwear lines. His eyes snap to mine and takes in the tears running down my face. I watch his face soften a little bit.
“Whats going on Tessa? Don't fucking lie to me because I will know if your lying” he gentled his voice a little at the end.
“Not right now Adien” Ella says “Did I ask you Ella? No then shut it. I'm tired of being left in the dark. Of feeling around blind. I want fucking answers and I want the now!”
I nod my head “Please not right now Adien” I choke out in a strained voice.
His face softens a little more and he nods “Tonight Tessa. You got me. You will fucking tell me everything tonight!” he says strongly but quietly as if almost afraid I may clutch at him. while screaming like a mad woman.
The thought has my lips twitching. But its not enough to lighten the mood. I nod again “Tonight” I say before turning to Ella “Can we go now. I really want to go. No I really need to go” I say with a little strength at the end.
“Alright Tessa we can go now” I turn to Adien “Can Jesse come with us?” I ask
I watch his eye brows come together in confusion. But he nodded none the less.
Turning I grab my flip flops and follow Ella to the door. But Adien grabs my arm as I try to pass him. I turn to face him in confusion “Yes?” I ask he doesn’t respond.
Instead he grabs my face in his hands and gently rubs my tears away. He places a gentle kiss on my forehead. I feel my heart skip a beat in my chest. I had no idea what to say. So I said nothing and turned and left. But not before giving him a small smile in thanks.
Chapter 20
Adien
I watch as the girls walk out the door Jesse following in there wake. I stop him “Watch them closely. I want to know what there doing. Who there talking to. And what they buy do you understand?” I demanded of him.
Jesse just nods his head before quickly heading out the door to meet up with the girls.
I fucking hate being in the dark. What the fuck is going on. Seeing Tessa cry broke my heart. I reach up and rub the spot in question. Not wanting to look to closely at that.
I turn my thoughts to her fucking sexy body. And that ass with no pantie lines. I feel my dick get thicker harder. Letting out a groan I head to my office and start making calls.
The shipment was late this week. I need to get a better estimated time of arrival. And fucking answers on why it was late to begin with. I call Brandon and tell him to look into.
Tessa
We head into Victoria Secrets and start grabbing panties, bras, lingerie, night gowns, and silk short and cami sets. All silk and lace. Ella slipped in some sheer items. I look at them like they might bite me what the hell do I do with these?
I watch Jesse steps out of the store. His phone to his ear. Shrugging my shoulders I went to slid my card but Ella beet me to it. I raise an eye brow.
“Adien said to get whatever you wanted or needed. Then put it on his card” she says with a big smile. caught off guard. Why the hell would he be paying for my stuff?
Jesse
Grabbing my phone I step out of the store. “Yes” Adien answers “we went right to Victoria Secrets. The girls bought a bunch of under garments. I think for Tessa only”
I inform him with confusion clear in my voice “The girls are checking out now. I believe were going for food than right home. I many be wrong on the food though.”
I could hear Adien sigh “What the fuck is going on? Shit Jesse I feel like ripping my fucking hair out.” he growled out. Anger clear in his voice.
“I have no fucking clue Adien. But somethings off. Shes not wearing any panties and for that matter a bra.” I hear Adien suck in a breath
“Don’t fucking look at her like that! Shit fuck get her back here now. I don’t other men seeing her like this.” I could hear the anger and frustration in his voice. I knew he would tear the heads off any man stupid enough to try and get with Tessa. She was Adiens.
“Got it boss eta 15 minutes. All I was trying to say was I find it odd she's not wearing any underwear and there at the store buying a shit tone of it right now. Why wear none you know?” I stated there was a pause on the other end.
“Just get here now!” he demanded before the line went dead. Turning back to the girls I head in there direction. How to get them home with out a fight?
Tessa
Grabbing the last bag I turn and run into Jesse “We need to head home” Jesse says casually. OK...
I nod my head then stop. I'm hungry and Ella wanted to stop and get food “No, were heading to the food court you coming.” I stated before heading in that direction Ella falling in step beside me.
I feel a hand circle my arm and pull me to a gentle but firm hault. Looking down at the hand I slowly follow it to its owner Jesse.
“Tessa we need to head to the house.” he said a little more firmly. I just shake my head and try to shake his hand off “Were hungry” I whined.
When that didn’t get him to let go. I opened my mouth to yell at him. but he beet me to it “Tessa your not wearing any...” he chokes for a minute trying to spit it out “underwear and its ah noticeable in those cloths.” he spits out in a rush looking a little red with a hint of green.
His words finally sink in as my face goes scarlet. I take a peak around through my lashes and notice a few men ogling my special places, gross just gross! At a loss for words I just nod my head and let Jesse drag me to the car.
Ella following close behind laughing at me! Some friend she is remember when I said our friend ship was like that saying “A friend is someone who will keep you calm when your mad but a best friend will skip beside you swinging a bat singing someones going get it.” yup that fits us perfectly until this moment!
I was so lost in my thoughts. I didn't even notice we were already home. I mean Ella's house.
The door fly’s open and Adien comes storming over to us his face completely washed in anger.
I watch as he rips my door open. Before leaning down into my face “What the fuck were you thinking going out. With out shit under your cloths?!” he demands through gritted teeth.
My first thought is I'm surprised he was screaming at me. Then my next was confusion. Why does he care. I open my mouth “why..” I started but Adiens voice over powers mine.
“Why the hell did you need to go buy all this?” his hand waves to all my bags “Do you not own any underwear?” confusion clear in his voice.
Just like that panic sets in. Before quickly turning to fear. My eyes scan every wear before my brain catches up. My feet are in flight and I'm up the stairs closing Ella’s door hearing Adien yelling after me.
Adien
One minute I'm yelling out all my jealousy and rage to Tessa. The next shes gone. Shock replaces everything.
I start to chase her. Calling out her name repeatedly. But its like she doesn’t hear anything. Then before I know it I hear a door slam upstairs.
A hand is latched on my arm. Knowing it was Ella I turn and meet her eyes. Letting the helplessness show in my eyes.
“Adien order us some dinner please. I know shes hungry and I'll go up and talk to her okay?” she whispers. If I wasn’t standing right next to her. I wouldn’t have heard her.
I give a slight nod “But I want answers and I want then after she eats you got me?!” she just nods and heads for the stairs.
“You need to listen to her okay. When its time you listen. Don't shout and shit. Keep your self under control. Then after she leaves you can go ape shit okay?” she demands.
I give another nod and watch her run up the stairs. My confusion growing what the hell is going on?
Chapter 11
/> Tessa
I truly believe that everyone has a moment in there life were they feel utterly and truly alone. When your sitting there trying to make sense. Trying to decided if you can open your mouth and say the words that will change the course of your life forever.
A moment when you say it out loud and it becomes a reality. You know deep down it was always a reality you just wished and prayed it wasn’t.
So you kept moving. Kept living. Kept breathing. Your head diving into the sand. Like that fox that hunts for its prey by diving head first into the snow.
There’s that moment that kills you just a little. Takes a little more of your self. This is my moment. A moment I wish I didn’t half to face.
At this very moment I sit here with my head in my hands hoping to prolong the inevitable. I know just beyond the door. That very door made of wood. That keeps everything at bay. Even if just for a moment is Adien.
Waiting for me. Waiting to hear it everything. To hear it all. I really don’t know if I can do this.
I know I need to. My mind knows I need to. But my body. My heart. My every soul doesn’t think I need to do this. It realizes this is a moment that could very well break us.
There are things I didn’t share with Ella about him. I cant even bring my self to utter his name in my own head. I think this may well be my end. My own undoing.
Try as I might I can't keep the images. The memory’s from trying to surface. I know, I know the moment I open that door and walk out it.
My world will be tipped on its axes and everything I’ve tried to push down. Everything I try to forget will come back. I will have no place to hide. No place to run.
I've been running from this. From me for so long.
Taking a deep breath I don’t give my self anymore time to contemplate. All I’ve lost. All I’m going to lose in just a few moments. With just a few words I feel the tears forming.
I hold strong. I push them back. And I force my feet to move. Forcing my hand to grab the cold metal door nob and turn it. I pull it open. Another deep breath and I find my self moving moving towards him. To my own version of hell.
