"Delilah!" My eyes snapped open to see brown eyes staring into mine
"Hey, sweet cheeks." Bryan gave me a small smile. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok where's Tyler?" I was laying on my bed, naked, with only a comforter to cover me.
"He's getting David and Rachel."Bryna looked at me giving me a sympathetic smile. "Want my shirt?"
I nodded. He got up, grabbing his sweatpants and shirt. He threw his shirt at me as he put on his pants. I slipped the shirt on just in time for my brother to barge through the door.
"His eyes searched the room, stopping as they landed on me. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Just had an episode, nothing new."
Guilt flashed through his eyes. That is, before surprise and anger took over.
"Why are you wearing Bryans shirt? Why are your clothes on the ground!?"
Tyler and Rachel, who were standing behind David, winced at David's harsh tone. David turned to Tyler.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?!" David was furious.
"Dude, chill!" Tyler said.
"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO CHILL, TYLER! YOU WERE TOUCHING MY SISTER, KNOWING WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH! She had a panic attack. You don't get to tell me to chill." I winced at his cracked voice. He sounded defeated at the end of his fit. I called his name to grab his attention and opened my arms, begging for a hug.
He let out a deep sigh before making his way over to my bed and flopping on top of me.
"You promise you're ok?"
"Mhm."
"I'm so sorry I let that happen to you, that I didn't do anything to stop it. I'm sorry I was so weak."
"I never blamed you, David."
"I know, it's just hard not to when I can still hear your screams."
"We were ten, David." I felt wetness on my shoulder.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'm fine. Can I talk to Tyler and Bryan?" David took a deep breath before getting up. Rachel took his hand and pulled him out of the room.
I looked at the boys expectantly. They both let out a relieved sigh and climbed under the covers with me, resting their heads on my chest.
"I'm sorry." their heads snapped towards mine.
"For what?" Tyler asked.
"For being a tease."
"You are far from a tease. We knew we were treading on forbidden ground. I'm surprised we got so far. I for one am grateful for the chance I had today." Bryan said.
"I'm so proud of you Lila," Tyler said. A sob escaped me. "Don't cry bubblegum."
"He's six feet under but yet he still controls my every thought. What if I don't get better."
"You are getting better though. We couldn't even touch you a whole year after the incident." Tyler points out.
"Yeah sweetheart, just two hours ago I had a finger inside you! That's a lot of progress! So cheer up sweet cheeks. you'll come out on top, I promise you that."
I sent them a smile. After they sent one back, they turned their heads back to my stomach.
