Tw for mention of rape

"What the fuck happened in New York?!"

My sister leans on the kitchen counter next to me as I make myself a cup of black coffee and prepare myself to return to work as a single man.

Candi had managed to work out what had happened by the way Camila and I behaved at the airport and she couldn't have been happier pointing out to Camila all the times she had said it wouldn't work and all the times she had been right

I'm in a bad mood, worse than bad so my sister had better watch her mouth

"Its none of your goddamn business" I say picking up my mug and heading towards the door

"Yes it is my goddamn business, she's my gaddamn best friend and if you've hurt her I will hurt you"

"She's your friend, I'm your brother, what happened to loyalty?!" I try to push past her but she blocks my way and I feel my patience wearing thin

"Did you fuck another girl in New York Shawn?!"

"No!"

"Well what did you do because Camila is really sad!"

"And I'm over here skipping through the flowers and sliding down fuckin rainbows I suppose?" I try to shoulder barge her, harder this time but my sister's as stubborn as I am and she refuses to budge

"You were supposed to be helping her out, picking her up after the Tyler debacle, you weren't supposed to be hurting her"

"Aaliyah, this might come as a huge shock to you but Camila is not the only one having a shit time right now" I slam my coffee down on the counter top, losing interest in it and losing patience with my sister.

Grabbing her under the arms I pick her up and put her back down away from the door so I can pull it open but as I step outside she's still behind me

"She likes you doesn't she?"

"It doesn't matter, I dealt with it"

"And you like her!"

Spinning around I stop with our faces just inches apart "Do not push me Aaliyah"

"This is because of Lucia isn't it?"

That name...

I turn back and head towards my car as fast as I can walk without running

"Camila isn't Lucia Shawn, don't punish her for what Lucia did!"

"Fuck off Liyah!" I yell loudly

"Camila is a good girl Shawn! You deserve that!"

I don't listen to anything else she yells in my direction as I slam my car door shut and then turn the radio up as loud as it will go, the electric pop that fills the vehicle also fills my mind and I use it to stop my sisters words from penetrating my brain

I don't let another thought of Camila or her enter my head until I get to work and then I have no chance to think about anything other Candi because guess who's standing at the gym doors waiting for me

"Shawn..." she drags out every letter of my name I want to rip her tongue out so I never have to hear her say my name again

"Not now Candi" I try to push past her but her hand wraps around my biceps as she takes another suck of her cigarette and then throws it away

"Don't tell me you're upset about that little giggly thing"

I look to her but don't answer, instead I rip my arm from her grasp

"I told you it wouldn't work, I knew she wasn't the girl for you, monogamy doesn't suit you Shawn"

"You don't know me so stop pretending that you do"

" I know what you need"

"No"

She puts a long fingernail to my chest and draws a line down my black tank top to my abs "what you and I had..."

"We had nothing!" I push her hand away from me and step back "what happened... the only reason we aren't calling it rape is because I'm a guy. If I was female and you were male you would be in jail by now"

"Rape?!" She laughs hysterically and I close my eyes to calm myself because I am not in the right frame of mind for a confrontation like this "look at the size of you Shawn, now look at the size of me, you're what? Well over 6 foot, I'm 5 foot 7 and there's not a ounce of weight on me, if you had wanted it to stop you could have stopped it but you didn't you wanted it as much as I did!"

I turn my face away from her, my heart hammering and my brain feeling as though it's being squeezed by my skull

"You wanted it Shawn, you wanted me and if you think crying rape is a way for you to get away from what we did then you have another thing coming because who the fuck is going to believe you?! They are far more likely to believe you raped little old me than the other way around"

I turn quickly, my mouth hanging open at her suggestion "y-you wouldn't" I manage to stutter out

"I always get what I want Shawn and I want you don't make me show you the lengths I will go to get you" she presses a smoky kiss to my lips and then spins in her heels and struts into the gym as though nothing ever happened and I look back to my car, desperate to jump in and drive as far away from the place as possible but with Candis threat hanging over my head like a guillotine blade I run my trembling fingers through my hair and then throw my gym bag over my shoulder and head into my own, personal hell
