Sometimes we feel like we got life all planned out. We plan for the future but fail to live in the present.
Everything seems perfect to the public eye but behind close doors it's the complete opposite. Heaven becomes Hell but we have no choice but...

I stood there with my fist balled up and my jaw clenched trying to process what she just told me
I didn't know what to say or do. I don't believe my brother would do that. Would he? He never came out as the rapist type so there's no way he did that.
"You're lying" I said watching her
She started laughing before speaking
"I wish I was Dave. I wish that I made all this up because that would be much more easier to get over. I wish that he didn't rape me every chance he got. I wish I wasn't slowly going crazy. I'm sorry Dave but your brother is a sick twisted bastard just like my fuckin my sperm donor. Taking advantage of shit that doesn't belong to them" she snapped
Tears were now falling freely from her face and no matter how many times she wiped they still fell
Her breathing escalated as she stood there staring at me waiting for my reply
But all I could do is replay her word in my head. What did she mean her father did that as well?
"What you mean like your dad?"
"He didn't just beat me Dave. He fucking used me for his guilty pleasure. Every single day he'll come home drunk go to my room and force his way with me. On weekends he'll have his friends come over do the same shit to me. They beat and raped me until they were satisfied then tossed me like I wasn't shit. Then your fucking brother comes and does the same Shit. Do you know how Fucking worthless I feel" she said in sobs as she broke down crying
I pulled her to me and we both fell to the floor. I held her tight against my chest letting her cry on me as tears ran down my face as well
I felt like an idiot for the words I said earlier
She didn't deserve this.
"Des Please stop crying And tell me everything. Get everything you've been holding in out. Don't hold it in no more" I told her
"I'm tired of fearing for my life. I'm scared shitless when you leave because I know he'll come in the room and do it all again"
"So those bruises you've been getting lately? Those aren't from falling or hitting yourself?"I asked
She shook her head no.
There was a bit of silence before she spoke again
"The first bruises were when he raped me the day he got here. While I was waiting for you to bring the stuff in. I heard the door open and I thought it was you since no one else has the keys. He raped me in the living room after he made me snort a line of coke"
I clenched my Jaw again hugging her tighter
"How many times has it happened?"
"A lot.The first time was at the party and then he found me a couple times outside of my work and did it in a car he was driving. I hadn't seen him since then until that day in the kitchen. And ever since then whenever you're not home he does it. That's why I'm never home. I'm scared to be home. I don't want to go through that no more"
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you agree to let him stay then?" I said raising my voice a bit unintentionally
She pulled away scooting over before looking at me
"How could I tell you that your brother was a monster? Especially after seeing that, that was the happiest you've been since you started staying with me. The joy you had of being reunited with him was clear as day and I couldn't take that from you. You've been through so much for me to just take that little bit of happiness away from you"
"So you would rather get beaten and raped everyday just to see me happy?"
"As stupid as it sounds yeah but he also threatened me. He told me if I told you or tried to get him kicked out he would kill me. I was scared that if I told you then you would do some stupid and it'll either get you locked up or killed. I couldn't let that happen to you all because of me" she shook her head
"I'm sorry for everything that I said. If I could take it all back I would. You're not a hoe. You don't deserve shit. They're fucking sick bastards. You're not worthless Ight? And he's not going to kill us. He ain't about shit and I'm not going no where"
"Promise? I can't let anything happen to you. You're my best friend and the only person I have left and I can't lose you" she cried hugging me
"Listen Desire. We in this together ight. No ones leaving no one. I got you. On everything I won't let shit happen to you. You don't have to worry about nothing Ight"
"Okay" she said softly laying her head on my chest
The only thing I wanted was to snap Jerome's neck. How can my own flesh and blood do this?
I'm just trying to piece everything together on when did he start this habit? When did he take interest in raping women?
I still can't believe that Desire sacrificed her own happiness for mine. She was basically willing to die just so that I could have some type of happiness again but she failed to realize that I am happy. Money might be tight and we're living check by check but I'm blessed to have found her. She's an angle in disguise and doesn't even know it
"You believe me though right?" She asked in a low voice
"Yes baby girl I believe every single thing you just told me. Don't worry we're going to handle them. But you good?"
She lifted her head looking at mine
"Yes thank you" she smiled
I couldn't take the temptation no more.
I grabbed her chin crashing my lips on to hers
Aww Dave😩❤️
THEY FINALLY KISSED! And no interruptions this time lmao
