Saving Aliyah

28

-Aliyah Cameron-

When I woke up, not only was it from the sunlight, but it was from the fact I was alone in bed, I stare at the empty spot Alastair was once in and frowned.

The door opens and I grab the pillow next to me and throw it "What the fuck?" I hear, I look at see Alastair standing there with plates in his hands and mugs nearly falling off the plate.

"Sorry-" I say to him, he shook his head "Don't apologize." He said, Alastair walks over to me and sets the plate down in front of me, I smile at him as he kiss my lips.

"I do have a surprise for you, amore." He tells me, I look at Alastair confused "What is it?" I asked "Like I said, I have a surprise." He tells me

I sighed "Now I need to know" I say to him, he shrugged "You'll have to wait till you finish eating."

I glare at Alastair, and he leans back against the headboard drinking his coffee and typing on the computer.

After both Alastair and I finished eating, he told me to get ready, which is what I'm doing right now yet I don't know what for. What is the surprise?

Once I finished tying up my hair I hear footsteps coming upstairs, seeming rushed, my eyebrows furrow in confusion, and the door swings opened before slamming closed making me flinch.

Carter stands in the doorway, his eyes falling on me "When the hell were you going to let me know you were home, Aliyah?" He grits, I stand up slowly staring at him "I-" before I can finish he cuts me off "When.", I swallow the lump in my throat as he stares at me, I have never seen Carter this angry, especially towards me.

"What the fuck is that on your neck? Is that a fucking hickey?"

My eyes widened, I forgot about that, I move my hair to cover my neck, clearing my throat

When Carter steps forwards, I take a step back and he freezes, as if he realizes what just happened, as if he just realized he just projected his anger out on me. "Aliyah-", this time when the door opened it was Alastair "When I tell you to 'get the fuck out' I mean it." He says staring straight into Carter's eyes.

"I- I just wanted to know she was home." He says staring at me, I nod my head "it's okay, I'm okay" I say smiling, blinking away the tears that so desperately want to leave. Carter was angry, Carter was angry at me. But it was okay, right? He just wanted to know I was home and okay, all he ever did was take care of me, right?

"Get out of our house, Cameron." Alastair's voice is laced with disgust, as Carter stared at him with a confused expression on his face

"Our?"

"Did I stutter? Unlike you I don't have that fucking problem."

My eyes widened at his words, and I feel hopeless, whose side do I choose? Alastair's? Carter's? Most importantly who am I betraying if I choose someone?

"Ali.." I had and I stare at Carter, I clear my throat "It's okay, Alastair, I'm fine." I smiled at both of them, Alastair nods "get the fuck out, now." He grits, yet I don't know if he's talking to me, or to Carter. But I really hope it's not me.

"She's my sister."

"You left your sister in a house with someone who abused her both physically and mentally, don't use that excuse on me." Alastair says crossing his arms, Carter stared at him, opens his mouth, and once Alastair raises an eyebrow, Carter closes his mouth, nods and starts to leave.

Freezing and looking back at me "Just tell me, are you okay?" Carter asked, and I nod "I am." I say, before Carter can answer, Alastair's shuts the door and locks it, leaving me in shock.
