Invisible

Chapter 4

Josh

I tried to follow her but she was already gone. I was just trying to help her. She seems so sweet and doesn't deserve to be treated the way her brother treats her. How could her parents let him get away with that. I went home and decided to try and get some work done when that didn't work I went into the studio and picked up my guitar. I had been in there for a couple hours when Sara came in. "Hey bro what was all that about today at the end of the day why'd that girl scream at you" she said sitting down next to me. "I might have went off on her pschyo brother cause he beats her and she thinks that since I did he was going to beat the hell out of her. What can I do to help her it actually hurt to see her so distraught and scared" I said. She looked me in the eyes and told me I had to get her to tell the athourities and get the pschyo put away before he ended up going to far and killing her. "I know but I don't think she wants my help" I said looking down. She just hugged me and soon our mother came in telling us dinner was done. "Josh honey are you ok" she asked as we came down "yea I'm fine just a rough first day" I said. We ate dinner in silence and instead of joining everyone in the living room I just went to bed.

I woke up the next morning hoping Erica would listen to me today. I got dressed quickly and hurried out of the house not even worring about breakfast. I got to school and there was no sign of Erica. I decided to wait by the doors and I stood there and watched everyone going in still no sign of her. I finally went to first hour. She never showed up the day dragged on and still Erica never showed up for school I was starting to worry cause Missy didn't even know where she was.

Erica

I woke up in the middle of the night in my own bed. I was still naked though Eric must have carried me up here after I passed out. I got up and went to my bathroom and took a long shower I made sure the water was extremely hot by the time I got out the shower my skin was beat red from how hot the water was but I had to get clean. I looked in the morrior to see all the burises and the bite marks on my neck. No way in hell am I going to school today. How am I going to explain all of this and why I'm limping. My ass hurt from that nasty pig fucking raping me last night. I broke down crying as I looked myself over as I looked away from the mirrior I saw something shining and silver. It felt like it was calling my name. I can't do it on my arms at least not for now Missy will be checking for something. I grabbed the razor and put it to my stomach and cut but I didn't stop at one. One didn't make me feel better but three did. I laid the bloody razor back on the sink and sank down to the floor as I watched blood run down my stomach and smiled. I let it bleed for a few seconds befroe grabbing a red rag and pressing it to the wounds. I stood up after a few minutes and took the rag away seeing that they stopped bleeding I wet another rag and cleaned the dried blood of me and got dressed. I finally got back in bed right before my alarm went off. I shut it off and pulled the covers over my head. "Sweetie you have to get up for school" I could hear my mom say. "Mom I don't feel good can I stay home" I asked almost crying and she nodded. "I have to work and so does your dad but if you need anything just call us Eric is already gone to school" she said I smiled a little at that. No Eric all day thank god I thought as my mother kissed my cheek and headed out the door. I got up and locked my door before going back to bed.
I didn't even realize I fell asleep for long until I heard a knock at my door. I looked at my phone seeing scool was out so I knew who it was I didn't dare answer it. "Oh Erica come unlock the door" he said in his fake sweet voice. I just stayed in bed. "Erica I'm done playing come unlock the door bitch" he screamed. I was about to get up and open the door even though I knew he was going to either send me to the basement to get raped again or beat me when the doorbell rang. "I'll be back for you, you little bitch" he said and kicked my door. I ran to the door and pressed my ear to it to listen in.

Josh

Missy and I decided to go see why Erica wasn't in school today. "Come on I'll drive just tell me where to go" I said as we walked to my car. "Ok well go right when you go out of the parking lot" she said and we took off. We came to the first rode and she told me to turn. I didn't need her help after that cause I could see Erics car I had seen him getting into about 15 minutes ago. We got to the door and I knocked I pressed my ear to the door to see if he was hitting her when I heard. "I'll be back for you, you little bitch" then bang. When he got to the door I couldn't help myself I tackled him to the ground "go get Erica and get to my car now" I screamed as I held Eric to the ground. Missy ran up the stairs and a few mins later down she came with a limping Erica. She stopped to look at me in shock. "Erica get to my car now your not staying here any longer" I screamed and she jumped before grabbing her shoes and running like hell. "I swear to god if you try to lay a finger on her again you'll deal with me and I won't take it easy" I said before bringing him up and slamming him down so his back hit the floor hard. I rushed out the door and to the car. "What the hell" was all Erica said. But I was still to pissed to answer. I seen Missy inspecting her new wounds in the back seat. "Erica what did he do to you" she said as she seen bruises on the inside of her thighs. I looked back real quick before slamming on the breaks. "What did that sick fucker do to you Erica I swear to god if he tried to ra..." before I could finish she was sobbing and Missy was clutching to her. "I'm going to kill him" I whispered as I took off again to my house. We had to figure out what to do. I looked back and seen Erica had passed out so I got out of the car and went to pick her up bridal style to carry her in. "Josh wait how am I getting home" Missy asked me. "I'll have Sara give you a ride. Don't worry about Erica she'll be safe here Eric doesn't know where I live" I said as we walked in. "Sara you home" I yelled heading to the stairs. "Yea what..." she stopped mid sentence looking at Erica. "Josh what the fuck happened" she said. "I will explain later take Missy home for me" I said and turned before I could head upstair she grabbed my arm to stop me. "Josh is this that Erica girl" she said. "Yes now please take Missy home I will explain later where's mom and dad" I asked before they left. "On a buisness trip I'll be back be ready to explain" she said. "Please take care of her she's all I have" said Missy tearing up. "She's going to be fine" I said as I turned and headed up the stairs.
