Loves Me, Loves Me Not

Chapter 17

Recap--

"I had a sister.." I told him, my voice breaking.

He froze. "What?"

"I used to have a twin, not a best friend twin, Vanessa, she was my twin sister." My throat was tightening ever so slightly.

"You used to? What happened?" He asked, his back still to me.

"Around a year ago, she met this guy, James, and she fell in love with him. They were going out for a while, and she said he had a single friend to hook me up with. He was a little older. When we got to the club, Vanessa, James and I, we saw Kevin. They guy they'd set me up with. Later in the night. James and Kevin went a little weird, they said they wanted to take Vanessa and I somewhere. Vanessa went straight away. I didn't. Instead, Kevin stayed back with me. He got me drunk, and took me to where James had taken Vanessa.

The place was deserted but I didn't think anything of it. I just wanted to find my sister.

Kevin took me into a room, Vanessa was chained onto the chair. Her dress torn off her and James sat in the corner.

Kevin made me sit on the floor, I knew something wasn't right." I recalled the memory, shaking my head at my stupidity.

Tyler was watching me fall apart now. Tears were flooding my vision as I replayed what happened that night in my head, and formed the story.

"Vanessa was shivering, and I couldn't tell the difference. She was less drunk and then I was. And was trying to get Kevin off of me, by shouting at him, she told him all the things she'd do to him, once they'd set her free of the chains. He'd brought out a knife, and he looked her in the eyes as he cut open a long part of my wrist. He had this blue ink stuff in his pocket, and he tipped it over my bleeding cut, it was he's way of scarring me, making me his." I took off my watch to expose my horrid scar. Tyler's eyes widened with fear and nodded for me to continue.

"James and Kevin raped my sister and I. After a week or so, I'd lost count, Kevin dumped me on the street, saying that, if I ever told anyone what happened, Vanessa would die.

Police found me, and I was hospitalised for 3 weeks. Turn's out I had fallen pregnant, word got around at school, but I had a miscarriage while I was 4 and a half months. I haven't seen Vanessa or James since, and when I see Kevin, he won't give me any clues to if Vanessa is even alive anymore." I say, wiping away tears that rolled down my cheeks.

"You have done wrong, Tyler. But my sister could be out there, dead or dying, and you're the only person I've told." I shook my head.

"Tori, what you did, it wasn't your fault." Tyler barely said, his voice seemed strained, but I couldn't look at him.

"Tyler, I left her. I left her all alone and she could be dead. I murdered her, it's my fault. If I made her stay with me, if I told her not to go that night. Anything, I could've stopped them. But I didn't." I wanted to scream it. I wanted the world to know that I am the reason my sister is not with my family.

"Is that what you were screaming in your sleep?" He asked.

Still avoiding his eyes I admit, "I dream of her telling me it's my fault."

"Tell me how it is your fault." He challenged.

"I left her to die, with two horrible people." 

Tyler took a step towards me. "You were dumped on a street, were you not?"

"Yes.." I say slowly, wondering where he is getting at.

"If the police could locate where you were found, would you remember the way?" Tyler suggested. My face dropped, more tears flooding down my cheeks, probably rivers of black, thanks to my not so water proof makeup. "No, Tyler. They tried to find where they kept me. But they couldn't." 

"Tori, I'm so sorry. I'm going to think of something, I want to help make this better. For you." He says, placing a finger under my chin, he wipes away my tears and tilts my head towards his. "For us." He kisses me.
