Bad is Better

Trust

Warning! This part of the chapter will get very sad and may cause you to shed tears. Now back to the story.

I still sat there with my mouth in the shape of a perfect o.

I've probably been straddling Landon for three minutes, in complete shock.

"Close your mouth before I make it useful for something." Landon snapped me back to reality.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry..."

"You will be if..." I cut him off.

"I just thought, well you don't exactly come across as the vir... Mmmm." He cut my words short as he thrust his hips forward, grinding into me.

I squealed as he did it again. "Landon... I was tal... ah!" I grip his shoulders as he grabbed my hips, sliding me back and forth at a medium pace.

"That shut you up." He whispered in my ear groaning.

After we let our release go, we washed our bodies once again.

He got out before me.

I turned off the shower and stepped out. Landon wrapped a big white fluffy towel around my wet body. "Thank you virgin." I giggled when he growled at me.

He threw his towel at me and made his way out of the bathroom naked.

"Nice ass!" I yelled after him drying my hair off with the towel.

I threw the towels in the basket and walked out the bathroom and into his.

He was just putting on his boxers when I came in. I walked over towards his dresser and pulled out some clothes for me.

"Want to watch a mov..." He started.

"No, don't think I forgotten about you promising to tell me everything." I went and sat next to him on his bed.

He tensed up. "I..."

I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "You can trust me."

He nodded. "Linda was my mother, Lilly was my little sister, and Liam was my older brother." His voice was low.

"Where are they now?"

He looked down at his hands. "Dead."

My eyes widen. "I'm so sorry... you don't have to..."

He shook his head. "No, I want to."

I nodded. "Ok."

"I remember that day as if it was hours ago. We had this big celebration. My brother just made it back from Iraq, and Lilly finally beat cancer. Everything was finally falling back in place; it was great... more than great. It was perfect." A sad smile took over his lips. "After the party, my mom gave all the workers the night off. I put Lilly to bed then went for my shower; I remember hearing this loud piercing scream. I rushed towards the sound and found my mother lying on the floor... bloody."

I scooted closer to him and squeezed his hand.

"Before I could get to her, I was knocked out. When I woke up, I was tied down. I looked around; my brother was tied down next to me, still knocked out. My mom was laid in front of me, beat up. Liam just had woken up when they carried a kicking and screaming Lilly in and threw her on the floor in front of me. My mom tired crawling over to her, but they just dragged her back by her hair. They cut off her clothes... and raped her right in front of me..." He sucked in his breath.

"After they were finished with her, they kept telling her to get up. She tried and tried but she kept falling back down. They pointed the gun at her, and just as they were about to pull the trigger, Liam broke free and jumped in the way. The bullet went straight through his heart. They walked towards him and shot him five more times. My mother finally got the strength to stand; one of them grabbed her and slit her throat, she fell back to the floor holding her next, they shot her right in the head. There blood splattering on me. I tried and I tried to break free but I couldn't." His shook his head.

"They started on Lilly; groping her... they soon raped her too. Lilly screamed for me to help her, she was only 7 years old, she didn't know what was what yet." His voice cracked. "They kept telling her to stop screaming and crying, but she didn't know any better, she was just a child. She looked at me with tears pouring down her eyes. They stuck the gun in her mouth... and killed her. Not only didn't they think that was enough, they set their bodies on fire. They made me watch them burn until they pulled me out of the burning house." A tear slid down his cheek.

I felt my heart breaking even more as the tears fell down my cheeks.

"They just left me outside to watch the home I grew up in to burn down with my family inside of it. But the crazy part about it all, my father never showed up. I found that odd because I had just talked to him that morning, he was away on a so called business trip that he never came back from. Later I found out that my father's company went bankrupt, my family was worth more dead than alive. That fucking... he had them killed just so he could save his own ass. I don't know why he spared my life. I called the cops and they took me in. I was bouncing from foster home to the next until they stuck me in some home, anger management classes; I was in and out of juvenile. Then I turned 18 and I was on my own." his face turned hard.

I had no idea of the pain he's been through. All this time I've been bitching about him not telling me stuff, when in reality I would have been bottled up too.

I straddled his waist and grabbed his face, wiping the tear away with my thumb looking down at his glossy eyes. "It's not your fault Landon. You didn't do any of those things, those sick fucks and your fucked in the brain sperm donor who did. You can't keep reliving that day, it will only kill you."

"I try and I try Mia... I just can't. My entire family... just slaughtered, betrayed by their own! For fucking money." He shook his head. "I pushed you away, to protect you."

"Protect me from your past life? Landon that..." I started.

He cut me off. "They're back..."

"What?"

"One of them called me." His jaw clenched.

I frowned. "It could have been..."

He shook his head. "No... I remember their voices."

"Landon... I'm not going anywhere. I don't care if they were downstairs, I'm staying with you. I love you Landon. There is absolutely nothing you can do or say to make me change my mind. I'll never leave you." I stared at him.

He looked up at me and stared in my eyes. "You love me..."

My eyes widen. "Landon... I... I didn't mean to say..."

"Say it again." His piercing grey eyes never losing contact with mines.

"I love you..." I whispered.

"Again." He breathed lowly

"I love you." I spoke louder.

"Again."

"I love you Landon... I love you, I love you, I love you... I love you so much, it hurts. I love you."

He crashed his lips to mines. "I love you..."
