That one moment...

chapter 24

           Elena Johnson
"Elena there's someone to see you." Rose informed me after knocking on the door.

"Someone who?"I asked staring at her with confused expression.

"I don't know he is waiting in the lobby ,I even gave him the directions to your office but he insisted to inform you first and isn't  willing to tell his name." Rose blabbered .

The only thing caught my attention was that someone is 'HE' ..but who is 'HE' ...JASON ...NO! panic filled my inside...why would he be here no! no! no!  wait if he was here then Rose know about him suddenly my panic was washed over by relief that it can not be Jason ...But still confusion was there about the person waiting for me the lobby.

''Elena do you want me to send him in ." Rose asked interrupting my thoughts.

"Ahem ...Yeah please ..thank you." I requested her coming out of my thoughts and she just smiled showing her perfect white teeth and left .

I was pacing in my office with tension building up in me and searching for any male person who I know would come here to meet me.Someone knocked on the door ,I stopped ,composed myself and took a deep breath.

"come in."  with that the door opened and a sharp gasp left my mouth.I blinked my eyes several times to adjust to the scene in front  of me .

"Louis "

I was shocked to see my brother after four days .After all the things happened I tried to contact Louis so many time but he never picked up  ,I even went to our house but he never opened ,I tried to ask his friends I knew  but they had no clue ,I tried to search him at the places I thought that he might be but it was all in vain.Today ,at this very moment he is standing in front of me with bags under his eyes,messy hair and grown beard....he looked vulnerable ...the very next moment even shocked me more when Louis was on his knees in front of me and he was sobbing hard with his hand clasped together ,my little brother was crying that sight stabbed my heart.I have never seen him like that ,like this much weak.

"Louis what happened ? " I asked him softly taking his clasped hand in mine and he sobbed even harder.

" I 'm sorry Elena ...I Am so sorry ..I was so wrong about everything ,about you ,about mom ...I know the truth now Elena ..I know everything now ..please forgive me .." He cried in my hands and I hugged him tightly.

"Shhhh ..its okay Its not your fault I 'm not even mad at you.." I tried to soothe him and few tears left my eyes too.

" You know she manipulated me against you after dad died and I blindly trusted her every word not even using my own brain and I said all those harsh words to you still you were with me ,still you cared for me and saved me from  the police...I am so sorry ..I should have used my brain and none of this would have happened." he hissed .

" Louis its okay ,she knew how to use you and she did just please calm down because you are not the person responsible for this ,none of this is your fault." I cupped his face in mine hands and wiped his tears away.

" Hell she says your not my sister but if sister are like you  I wish everyone has  one like you." He said wiping my tears which escaped my eyes while soothing him.

"You are my brother ..." I was cut off by Louis.

"No I'm not ...There's something which you don't know .I went to see mom after she was taken and she confessed everything to me and one more thing she confessed was ...." He stopped and a small tear escaped his left eye.

"Louis what did she say ? " I frowned .

" Dad married her because she was ...." He took a deep breath and continue" ...because she was raped.."
"what?" I gazed at his face searching for any possibility that it wasn't true.
