LOVE BEHIND OUR EYES..

Part 16

"Your hand is bleeding" she pointed at it I mean I didn't hurt that bad but I did feel drained "cmon" she grabbed my hand and led me to my room "sit on the bed" she said quietly her eyes were all puffy and red It hurts me that she had to go through that all in the same day her dad died but it's late now it's 9pm and I don't want to keep her up.

"Hold your arm out" she sniffled and got on her knees "you know you don't have to I can wrap it myself" she ignored my sentence and went on to wipe of the blood and put a new bandage on. I stared at her as she worked on me she deserved so much better but I can't let her go. "I apologize" she paused "for what" she continued "what my dad said to you" she pushed her hair away from her face.

"It's okay I'm not mad at it" she shrugged but I could tell she was lying "aubre-"it's fine" she cut me off and sniffled again "your all done just don't take a shower with it I'll change it when you take it off tmr and if that's all I'll be going" she said and put her hands behind her back and look down and stood up.

"Look up" I told her but she didn't listen "Aubree" I softly said and she slowly looked up there were tears in her eyes waiting to drop I walked closer to her, she was whimpering trying to hold tears back "let it out" I put my hands on her face she shook her head 'no' her lips were quivering and she was shaking I can't believe I'm doing this but I pulled her in for a hug not because I care but because she needed it.

She grabbed me and tightened her grip she sobbed into my chest I held her close it was like someone braided our hearts together I could feel her heartbeat on mine and it collided "I-i miss him so much" she cried harder and slipped down to the floor I went with her to the floor and held her in my arms as she cried "I-i know" I didn't know how to comfort her so I stroked her hair.

She pulled away "I'm sorry" she pulled back "don't apologize it's not your fault" she wiped away her tears and quickly stood up and backed away from me "what's wrong" I asked her she seemed scared "no no- no" she held her body against the wall and was shaking "hey hey it's okay your okay just breathe" I grabbed her shoulders to get her to stay in place

She kept mumbling no like she was running from something. "I-it was him D'Angelo it w-was him I remember" I didn't know who she was talking about "who Aubree" I grabbed her face and she put her hand on my arm "breathe aubree it's okay" she took deep breaths "your father" she cried and looked into my eyes. "He was the one" there was fear in her eyes "what did he do?" I whispered so I wouldn't scare her more.

Aubree's pov: "what did he do?" He asked I didn't know weather I should tell him or not but it was all in the moment "when, when I was 17 I was at a club with my friends and there's was this guy at the bar who payed for my drinks and laced it and offered me a ride home and I took it. I know it's a stupid thing but I didn't know and he brought me to this place and he"

I paused my mouth was dry "and what Aubree" he said "he... he raped me and.. your father was there he watched and y-you smell just like him but I know it wasn't you" He stepped back and stared at me I didn't know what he was thinking tears kept dropping but I wasn't crying he then came close and hugged me again this time his grip was tight "shit" he mumbled under his breathe.

"What?" I whispered into his chest he pulled away and went towards his drawer on his nightstand and went through the stuff in it and pulled out a picture of a guy "is this him" I looked closely but couldn't see well but it was him my heart sank "Aubree?" I nodded "fuck" he threw the picture on the floor "how.. how do you know him" I asked and he sat on the edge on the bed cursing under his breath.

I was still at the edge on the wall "he's my brother" I froze "you knew about this?" He looked up at me and frowned "what? No of course not" he stood up and sighed "the night it happened he came home all scratched up I'm guessing you put up a fight and I asked what happened and he told me but didn't mention who it was." I stared at him in disbelief "he told you that he raped a girl and your dad watched and you didn't think that that wasn't okay in any type of way?" I asked
