Chapter One

Tears blurred my vision as I make my way home. The fall breeze chilling me to the bone, increasing my shudders and distaste for this weather. Stumbling through the streets that lead to the apartment that I shared with my brother, I started to replay the event that lead to my current emotional breakdown.

When working I was approached by a man and a few of his friends. All the man did was flirt with me and attempted to grasp my attention, but since 'the incident' I don't have that view on the world anymore. In fact, the whole ordeal changed my perspective on everything and anyone I didn't know well.

What caused my meltdown was what the man had said and how he said it. He said, and I quote, "Hey, Cutie! Why don't you bring that cute little ass over here and get me a drink? Huh, how about that sweetheart?"

Okay, I guess what he said would sound displeasing to anyone who got talked to that way or witnessed it, but it was the memory that came with the words that set me off.

I remember how the panic started to grip my heart, making it hard to breathe. The gasps that escaped my throat shocking everyone in the place. I slowly starting losing feeling in my legs because of the lack of oxygen intake. I thought I heard the sound of my name being shouted off in the distance to the right of me, but all I saw as I started to lose consciousness was the man who said it to me reach out as if to catch me, causing me to flinch and black out instantly.

Waking up not only five minutes later, I had the everyone who had witnessed my fainting surrounding me, looking down with pity and sadness etched in their features. It only seemed to being the panic back.

My boss, being the closest one next to me, starting telling everyone to back up as tears began to stream down my face in rivers. I'm so pathetic is what I remember thinking as I got to my feet quickly and glanced at the door, wanting to escape my own personal hell. My Boss, noticing my gaze, nodded his head and I booked it out of the place.

And that's how I ended up wandering home, trying to escape the past and my memories.

Shivering from head to toe, I slowly made my way up to the apartment. It wasn't much. In fact, some people may even say that it's a dump, but its the only place my brother could afford at the time. And its all my fault we had to live in such a bad place.

If I hadn't come out to my Mom and Dad, my eldest brother would have never found out. I can't even say he's my brother, not after what he did to me.

My eldest brother thought that he could use me, for his own personal amusement and his friends as well. They used me and no sense of pleading could ever get them to stop. When I first told my parents, they wouldn't believe it. They never thought their first born, the smartest, the most thoughtful could do something as horrible as I was saying. But he did. And it completely ruined me.

My brother, the one who lives with me now, only believed me after he walked in on it. After that, he confronted my parents about it. When they did nothing, Scott moved both him and me out of the house and we found this place.

That was about a year ago. I thought after being away from such things, I may go back to being normal, but I guess not. I'm still messed up.

Sniffling though the last of my tears, I wiped my eyes and unlocked the door numbered 3.B and walked in, only to turn around and re-lock the door.

Turning back around, I was welcomed with the sight out my brother, but with one look at my face, Scott's smile dropped instantly and a concerned frown had replaced it.

I hate making him feel this way, so to make him not feel as bad, I strode quickly to my bed, shaking my head just a bit, not wanting to talk about it even though I know he wants to know what happened, I, then, face-planted on my bed, finally letting sleep claim me, even if it wasn't a peaceful one.

Scott's hand gently running up and down my back as a sign of comfort and love.
