'I miss seeing you Lace.'' He whispered gently before he stood up to face me. ''It's been too long since we last talked. I want to know what happened that night in the motel room. It's keeping me up all night and I'm getting more confused as each day goes past. Just tell me... did it mean anything.''

I didn't know how to respond. It felt like we were standing there for god knows how long. It was like it was becoming more intense as each second past. But I knew what I had to do. I have to hurt him. Though it's going to hurt me to say it, it's the only way for him to move on. I can't get involved with my foster brother.

''No.'' I lied, keeping my voice stable. It hurt. Seeing that I've hurt him from that comment hurt me more than he could imagine.

His expression changed dramatically. ''But we had sex--''

''I'm sorry,'' I interrupted, feeling tears slowly start to form. ''You don't know how hard it is for me to say this okay!? It's not going to end well for either of us if this continues any further. You don't know how this could effect me Cole--''

Before I could finish my sentence, Cole crashed his lips down onto mine.

''What are you doin--'' Before I had the chance to reply, his hands were roaming all over my body without my permission. I tried to wriggle my way out of his grip but he was too strong. Crying, I begged him to stop but he still wouldn't. I could feel my adrenaline pumping through my veins and felt my heart painfully beating against my chest once I grew familiar with this feeling. The moment was bringing back memories I didn't want to remember. Fuck! No! No!

''Stop!!'' I pleaded but he ignored me.

''Just relax!'' He shouted, pulling me back onto him every time I tried to push him off.

I woke up in a panic from my nightmare, feeling my heart beat a mile an hour as sweat glided down from my face to the edge of my lower back. I couldn't stop thinking about what Cole had tried to do to me. I just still couldn't believe it. God, I just needed to calm down. As I hastily scanned my surroundings, I realized that there was no one in sight and that I could finally drift back off into a deep sleep. 

I tried for a couple of minutes but I was wide awake, seemingly dozing in and out of sleep. Once my heart rate slowed down I could easily daze off and get lost in my own imagination. Before I knew it, I plugged in my headphones and listened to was Amy Wine house's You Know I'm No Good and drifted off into sleep. 

''Lacey...'' Brandon huskily whispered as he pulled me to him. His warm skin touched mine and I suddenly felt like my whole body was on fire. The way he caressed and touched me felt beyond amazing and I couldn't get enough.

''Oh... Brandon.'' I moaned as his lips trailed down to my neck and left me wanting more than I should. A long, shallow breeze drifted down from my lower stomach and I grunted in anticipation. 

'We... we can't'' I struggled to find the right words as I tried to push him off of me, which failed terribly. I wanted this but I was too scared. I was scared of the consequences. What if Katherine found out?
