Tori on side==>


I'm alone like always and I don't know what to do about it. Summer is almost here and I'm stuck in my house to afraid to walk out my own front door. Always to afraid that someone will do to me what that man did to me all those years ago. I don't think I will ever leave the safety of my house. I rarely open the door I think the last time I did was two years ago and that was to only grab a package that was left there and I closed it quickly afterwards. All my windows only open a half an inch and that's it they were also double pained. I even grow my own food in a green house that is attacked to the back of my house and the only way to get to it was threw my back door near the kitchen. It was once a project when I would come visit my aunt I had no idea that it would become my main source of food. 


 I heard a knock at the door and froze, no one came up to my house not even the hands that work here at the ranch they new that if they needed to talk it was done by computer. I slowly made my way to the door and looked out the small window and gasped at who I saw. "What do you want?" I asked threw the door. I wasn't going to open it unless I absolutely had to. "Come on sis open up and let me in!" my sister Kaci yelled through the door. I sighed and turned the many locks I had installed. I finally opened the door and gasped as a fresh breeze blew across my face. 


 I closed my eyes and let myself enjoy it for a few seconds before I pulled Kaci inside and slammed my door closed and re-locked all 15 locks 10 of which were dead bolts. I turned in time to see guilt flash through Kaci eyes. "Don't Kaci please I haven't seen or heard from you or anyone else in almost 8 years. So please just tell me what you want so I can let you back out." I said and sighed softly. I could hardly talk above a whisper it was sad. It has actually been that long since I talked too someone else.


 I waited for her to answer "Please Tori let me stay and help out for a while. I tried so many times to come see you but that night it was all my fault if I would have just went with you I could have saved you!" Kaci stopped and started to cry. I didn't blame her I never did "Kaci I never blamed you. You were on your way to college and didn't want your baby sister hanging around. I should have went straight home when you told me too. But I was so upset that I wanted to go for a walk threw the park. . ." I stopped I didn't want her to know the full extent of that time. I couldn't bring myself to tell her I haven't told anyone what really happened that night except the cops. 


 I couldn't bring myself to relive that time I didn't want her to feel even more guilt then she already did. Kaci must have seen the pain flash through my eyes and pulled me into a hug and I stiffened I didn't like being touched even if it was from my own sister. Kaci pulled away as the full excent of that time sank home.

 I looked at my sister she had moved out to her aunts ranch because she was to scared to live in town but it looks as if she was still locked up here in the house. "Come on Tori show me around your house and then we can sit and talked. We can catch up on old times." I said and followed her around. 


     *****

 I smiled at her and lead Kaci through the house showing her around. "Here is one of the guest room you can have it as long as you need." I told her. "Thanks Tori I need to get away for a while and I knew you would understand." Kaci said and I just smiled. We went back towards the kitchen and I showed her my green house. "Tori don't you ever go to the store?" she asked.
