FIFTY SHADES OF THEO JAMES

Chapter 10

"Don't forget, no rated-r movies with your little sister awake. No sugar after eight and no boys!" Mother said, her eyes holding firmly on my older sister Seraphina.

Sera let out a sigh as she walked with mom to the door. "Yeah yeah, I know the rules mom. Remember, I've lived under your ruling for twenty years." She snarked.

Mother gave Sera a stern look before walking out the door. Sera, Hazel and myself ran to the window and watched outside as she got into the car with dad and they drove off. Then we all let out squeals of delight.

"What are we going to do first?" Hazel asked as we scuttled into the living room.

"I was thinking a movie and some popcorn." Sera replied as she started for the kitchen.

"That's boring!" I shouted out to her. "We always have to watch a stupid cartoon because anything cool is too scary for Hazel."

Sera popped her head around the corner and rose and eyebrow to me. "Give it a few years and you will see, all the best movies are animated."

I crossed my arms and huffed impatiently. "Whatever! Can we at least have the special marshmallow topping on the popcorn that you make?"

I waited a few seconds for a reply but got non so I headed towards the kitchen only to stop as I heard Sera in a heated conversation.

"You need to stop calling me, Colin."

...

"No, I mean it. You and I are over with. What you did... I trusted you around my sisters."

...

"She was barely eleven years old at the time. She couldn't legally consent to anything, regardless she's a child and you are twenty one."

...

"No, I haven't told anyone. I should though, you know, and believe that I will if you keep harassing me like this. I want nothing to do with you, you pedophile."

I bit my lip as I heard her rifling through the pantry to find what she needed. After a few minutes of standing there I went into the kitchen, pretending like I heard nothing.

It was now clear what had happened and why they broke up. Colin had been molesting our little sister and Sera caught him.

"Do you need help?" I asked as I joined her side.

Sera let out a breath and then turned to me. She looked stressed. "No, you just go and pick out a movie with Hazel while I finish this up. Ok?" She gave me a feeble smile and then shooed me from the kitchen.

But not soon enough as I heard her phone go off again. I paused just out of sight and listened to the conversation.

"That's it, Colin! Tomorrow I am going to the police and getting a restraining order against you. Then I will change my phone number. And you know what, while I am at it I think I will bring up what you did to my sister."

...

Sera let out a bemused chuckle. "Do you honestly think any parent is going to want a pedophile as their pediatrician? No, once this is over you will be too. And good riddance!"

Seconds later she was back to moving around the kitchen so I continued on into the living room. When I saw my little sister in her bunny footy pajamas with her light brown hair in pigtails a surge of anger flooded my veins. I couldn't imagine the pain he had caused her from the things he did to her.

"Do you know how much Sera and I love you?" I asked her as I took a seat beside her and pulled her into my arms.

Hazel gave me the sweetest smile as she turned her big blue eyes upwards to look at me.
