Rebelle House

13. Heaven Lost An Angel & Created A Monster.

Going around Rebelle House buzzed off champagne and edibles, I find my old room left in the same condition I left it when I first left. I went to my nightstand drawer seeing an old stash of powder was still there, taking it out of the clear baggie and spreading it out on the hard surface. Making thin white lines, I snort about three then felt my nose trickle with blood but I wiped it away not being alarmed that it was.

Putting back the rest, I went into my bathroom splashing water on my face as it felt hot and the room felt like it was spinning.

A memory I repressed comes racing into mind, having me hold onto the sink to keep from falling over.

A few Years ago

( Warning - might be uncomfortable to read as this part goes into a little more detail on the grooming aspect that happened to Ayla)

"Aw you're the angel of the group," Younger Lori says while putting my hair in two pigtails.

Capri nods while reading a magazine, "I see that," Then looks to Lilac as she's brushing her hair from just getting out of the shower.

"I'm alright," I say timidly.

Juniper walks in from being out with Ronan, smiling, happy.

"Look at my girls," Putting her arms out she expected a hug.

All but me gave her one, making her smile fade as quick as it appeared.

"Ayla," She warns but I slowly drag my feet to give her one, making her snap her fingers to have two of her men hold me down on the ground in front of her. "Why do you always make things so hard on yourself? I mean, I give you food, clothes, and gifts. What's the problem with just embracing your new home...your new moth–" I glare up at her, "You will never be my mother." Nodding, she tells her men to strip me bare leaving nothing on having my body exposed.

"Since obedience isn't your strong suit, I'm just going to have to have you submit one way or the other," Swiping her hand as a signal for the men to get off me, she has the other girls stand in a line and look at me now trying to cover my naked body as I stand.

"What's wrong with Ayla? Capri?" Juniper asks, folding her arms.

Capri gulping, says, "Her–Her legs are too skinny?" Lori was next, "Her boobs are different sizes?" Lilac shook her head refusing to answer so Juniper threatened to have her just as exposed as I was, making Lilac stutter out, "Her b-b-butt is flat." Juniper takes a look at me, "I could fix that. Having a male suitor, well...he would want someone like you even if you have no ass, wonky boobs and bambi-like legs. Makes you more valuable since you're such a fucking saint."

Ronan comes in holding Juniper's floral floppy hat she left in his backseat as he took her to the beach this morning and brought her back by mid day.

"Jun you left your ha-" He stops noticing 15 year old me naked in the middle of the living room with just my arms covering my chest and lower area.

Juniper turns taking the hat like nothing in front of everyone like it wasn't in the slightest bit inappropriate.

"Thank you dear," She then kissed his cheek but his eyes were stuck on me.

Starting to realize, she gets a horrid idea saying, "Dear, you met Ayla right?" The girls looked at her afraid of what she was about to do next as her lips curved in the most sadistic way you could, bringing Ronan closer to me, "I don't remember...no," He says trying to look away as I start to tear up. "Oh come on, she's the one we talked about," Grabbing his face, he looks at me more and I shiver, getting cold and petrified knowing Juniper was going to make something happen that shouldn't.

"Go ahead...touch her," Juniper whispers in his ear but I could hear since she made him get close enough to feel his breathe on my face.

Closing my eyes, feeling tears trail down more and more he says, "I–I won't she's a kid Jun."

Juniper giggles, "Alright," Grabbing a blanket, she tosses it to me, "Cover up."

I hurriedly covered my body while the others got sent to their rooms. Ready to leave too, Juniper stops me. "You're not sleeping in your bed. My men will take you to the special room I have," Snapping her fingers again, two men grab both sides of my arms but she looks to one of them saying, "Jasper, dear, do me a favor? Can you make sure she doesn't do anything crazy? I'll appreciate it," The young man nods while having me dragged away to the special room.

Ronan watches then holds his head, "Juniper what the hell was that? She's–" Juniper shrugs, "Being rebellious and needing to be taught a lesson. You just helped. Now everyone will go to sleep and wake up more well mannered."

Ronan shook his head, "She didn't deserve that."

Laughing in his face, Juniper shrugs again, "Did I when my mother did it to me when she first funded this house? We learn and grow dear."

Now leaving, following where the two men went, Juniper shouts out, "And where do you think you're going?"

Present time

I hear Will's voice as I'm about to slouch over as I somehow ended up on the floor with my back against the wall, "Ayla," He softly taps my face as he holds my head up with the other, "Hey, hey what did you take? Huh?" Turning the shower on and putting the water cold, he helps me stand then places me under the water, "Come on," He moves my hair out of the way and I finally snap back gasping and gripping onto him.

"W-What the fuck happened?" I say now with chattering teeth.

He chuckled relieved, pushing my wet hair back, "You almost went into shock, you almost overdosed," Leaning on him to get out, he yanks the towel that was there and wraps me in it.

"I talked to Chad at the hospital, he told me about Juniper's threat. I made my brothers go without me, told them I had to see how he was doing. Once I did, I rushed over here after I went looking for you since I knew you had heard what Aero said."

Feeling like shit, I just nodded then looked at him while I'm a mess.

"You didn't have to come and rescue me," Shivering, I hugged myself.

Will bent down now giving me his body warmth, wrapping his arms around me holding me to his chest having his chin above my head.

"I know you were created to be this way to survive. Hell, my pops created us to be monsters too. So, who am I to treat you differently for something you had no control over?"

Sleepiness intrudes my body so I let my eyes droop, falling asleep in Will's arms not being able to reply but felt safe there on the bathroom floor with him enough to nod before I did.
