Chapter 16

*Blair's POV* (after saving Brae)

After Brae left to go shower, we heard the door closing and her strangled sobs.

Her brothers thanked us for helping her and taking her home. The oldest, I think Adam, phoned someone and not even 10 minutes later the door bell rang.

"Hey bro, what happened?" The visitor asked.
"Brae was nearly raped" Adam answered.
"What!" He said in disbelief.

They walked back into the living-room and we finally saw the visitor.... it was Andy from the race. He knows this family?

He turned to us after bro hugging all the Winstons except Brae obviously.

"Hey...you look familiar....it's Blair, Ethan & Carson right?" He asked. I guess he recognised us then.

"Yeh, your Andy the man who is in charge of the racing, right?" I questioned.

"Yeah, you got your ass kicked by Ray, on your first race" Andy chuckled.

"GUYS YOU CAN CLOME UP NOW" Brae shouted keeping her promise.

We all rushed up the stairs and into a room which I'm guessing is hers. She was hand drying her hair in the middle of the room. We all gasped at the sight of her.

She was covered in bruises. She looked like shit to say the least.

"Princess.....have you seen yourself?" Andy asked while the rest of us were still wide eyed.

"Yeah I have, I look like shit" she nervously chuckled.

Blake rushed towards his twin and wrapped her in a gentle but tight hug.

"Oh my god, Brae-Rae. I'm sorry" he said as they ended their hug.

"It's not your fault, Blakey. Don't apologise." She said as she kissed his cheek. I don't know why but I felt a pang of jealousy.

Even tho she looked terrible she was still beautiful. What am I thinking!?

We made our way deeper into her room, her brothers taking a seat on the bed while Andy, Carson, Ethan & I sat on the floor by her bed.

When she slowly walked over to her Computer Desk chair, she hissed obviously in pain.

She must be with all the bruises covering her body like a whole-body tattoo, a tattoo would look better tho.

"Can you tell us what happened" Adam said sternly.

She hesitated before answering "fine. Well, I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk. I was out for about 40 minutes before deciding to come home, I took the park route home."

She paused "then a drunk man approached me, I tried running but he caught me.... he ripped off my top, and make a comment - which I don't want to say - he forcefully kissed me and grabbed my body" she shuddered.

"I tried getting away but he got mad and beat me and tried to finish the rape but he didn't. Blair, Carson & Ethan came and saved me" she finished as the silent tears rolled down her cheeks and off her chin landing on her bare legs.

Jesse got up and went over to her, picking her up and put her on his lap while he hugged her, whispering in her ear.

"Oh baby I'm so sorry" Kai cooed. He had tears of sadness as he looked at his little sister.

"Can I go to sleep now?" Brae yawned. Aww her yawn is adorable. Adorable!? I have never said that word before. What is happening to me?

"Yeah, Baba. Have a good sleep. You can stay off school tomorrow if you like" Adam replied.

"No it's fine, I need to talk to Emily." She yawned again.

Her brothers made queue - which is weird - all hugged their sister and left the room. Leaving us alone with Brae, she looked at us and gave us small grateful smile. It was cute.

"Thank you again for saving me" She said.

"It was no problem. Just glad that your safe" Ethan responded. He is talking a lot tonight.

"Ok. We will be going, see you at school tomorrow. Have a good rest and put streak on your bruises." I waved as I turned and left her room, Carson & Ethan following behind.

Our heavy footsteps notified the others that we were coming down, they all gathered in the hall.

"Thank you so much for helping Brae" Adam thanked.

"It was no problem, couldn't leave a damsel in distress" I waved off.

"Ok we Better be going it's getting late" Carson spoke up.

"Yeh, see you tomorrow, man" Elijah said as he opened the door.

"Yeah see you." I said as we left the house.

Walking down the street, I turned to Ethan and Carson.

"I think I pieced it together"
I cheered.
"What together?" Ethan replied.
"Ray, she looked familiar. I know who she is" I cheered as we walked down the street.
"Who?" Carson piped in.
"Brae...." I answered after a pause.
"What!" Carson & Ethan said in sync.
I chuckled, "it makes perfect senses, Andy & Ray were really close, Andy and Brae are close. Ray and Brae look exactly alike, if you put more revealing clothing on Brae, you would recognise Ray" i stated.

"So Brae is a street racer and the Race Queen...oh my god!" Ethan screeched.

Why did it take so long to figure it out? It makes
perfect sense. Does her brothers know?
