Selena’s POV:
"Choose Selena! Hurry!" Justin yelled at me while he was held at gunpoint by a man in all black. My throat was clenched up and I couldn’t speak, like someone reached down my throat and took my voice. I looked in front of me and Jason was hanging onto the edge of a cliff. If he fell, he would plummet to a 60 foot drop into the sea full of viscious sharks and razor sharp rocks.
"SELENA HELP ME!" Jason shouted, he voice wavering as he tried to pull himself up. His hand ended up slipping and now he was barely dangling from one hand. My eyes darted between the two twins who both clearly needed my help but i didn’t know who to chose? If I chose Justin, Jason wouldn’t have enough time to climb back up. If I chose Jason, Justin would already have his head blown to pieces. I couldn’t move, my feet felt like molten lava and my mind was thudding rapidly as I tried to figure out who to choose.
"I… choose…" My mouth managed to croak out, my eyes darting between Justin and Jason. Then I felt myself unable to breath. I tried to inhale but I felt my lungs begin to fill with water. I blinked my eyes and found myself slowly sinking down into the bottom of a swimming pool. Chlorine filled water burned my lungs as I tried to wriggle myself to the surface but it only helped me sink further down to the bottom. I saw Ariana from the surface of the pool with Jason and Justin beside her, their arms wrapped around her waist.
"You didn’t choose fast enough." Ariana’s voice rumbled through my head causing a piercing headache. I tried to scream back but my body turned numb and I stopped wriggling. My vision faded and blurred together as I sunk deeper and deeper into the pool.
I shot up in bed panting and wiping sweat from my forehead. I clenched the sheets beside me and I glanced down at Jason sleeping next to me who was still asleep. He tossed and turned for a moment until he found a comfortable sleeping position and he snored happily. I dug my nails into my chest as I tried to take deep breaths and calm myself down from the disturbing dream I just had. What did that dream even mean?
"Selena…?" Jason groggy voice emitted from next to me. I peered down at him and he was looking up at me with his head snugged deep into my pillow. Rolling his tongue over his lips he exhaled deeply.
"What?" I replied.
"Is everything okay?"
I nodded, sucking my lips in. I couldn’t tell him about my dream in his condition. Then I heard my door lightly swing open and saw my mom walk in with a shocked expression as she looked me in the eyes. Then a confused look when she saw Jason laying on the bed next to me. I didn’t know what to do, I felt myself unable to speak as I stuttered a little trying to give an answer to this.
"Selena," My mom spoke first, "Why is Justin here?"
I was going to laugh at her and tell her that beside me was Jason but then if I told her I would have a lot of explaining to do. So, I went along with it.
"Justin walked me home last night and then I wanted him to stay and help me sleep because I was having trouble trying to sleep." I said trying to make sure it made sense. My mom seemed to buy it and slowly nodded her head as if picturing the event in her head. I looked over at Jason who seemed calm and rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers through his messy hair.
"Selena you haven’t been home for practically over two days and this is unexeptable. You are grounded for two months and once Justin gets himself together he needs to leave the house. We will talk later on today." She scolded, wagging a finger at me before exiting the room with a slam of the door. I exhaled a sigh of relief because I can tell she was going easy on me because I never really got into trouble.
Jason shot up out of my bed and began to straighten out his clothes and roll his sleeve over his cuts. The bruises on his face from last nights club fight he got into have only seemed to have gotten worse. The small cuts on his face have turned into a darker shade of red and black and blue splotches covered his cheeks and nose. “I’ll go and tell Justin what happened and tell him that you are grounded.” He said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and started to escort him out of my room and down the stairs to the front door where my parents where waiting, arms crossed and raising an eyebrow at us.
Once Jason and I reached the front door Jason turned to me and hugged me. “Bye Selena.” He said lowly, almost in a raspy voice which made chills go up my spine. Then he leaned in and kissed me on the cheek making my heart skip a beat. I stood there for a while even when he left, grazing my fingertips over the moist area where his lips touched me.
Justin’s POV:
I stared up at the blank white ceiling as I drummed my fingers on my bare stomach trying to think of all the possible reasons why Jason would want to rape Selena. Nothing seemed to make sense. They seemed to like each other enough and they didn’t seem like they hated each other, so what is the deal?
My mind began to travel to all of the memories I had with Selena, trying to pinpoint something where it would give me clues to what actually happened between her and Jason. Nothing seemed awkward between them, at all. But then my mind flashed between memories of Selena and I together. The night where she selpt in my bed with me, her body close to mine with her head resting on my chest.
Sighing heavily, I took out my phone and tried calling Selena to see if everything is alright. After the third ring she picked up:
"Justin what do you want?" She practically hissed through the other end.
"I just wanted to ask if everything was okay."
"Well yeah everything is fine babe. Just having a talk with my parents. Jason should be by your house in a few minutes to explain things to you."
I tensed up when she said that. My twin brother who raped my girlfriend is coming over to my house.
"Why?" I said rather harshly.
"Justin please don’t argue with me right now. I need to go but I’ll call you later." She said quickly before hanging up. I groaned and rolled over on my stomach. Why am I the one with a fucked up twin brother?
Anger boiled up inside of me as I thought of Jason raping Selena as she was unconcious, her body limp as he continued to move in and out of her. My brow creased together and I clenched my fists in my hand as the doorbell rang downstairs. I heard the sound of my blood pumping rapidly as I stomped my way down the stair and to the front door. How could he rape her? He was my fucking brother for crying out loud! I swung the front door open and layed my eyes of a very bruised and disheveled Jason. Without a second thought, I slammed my fist into his face.
