This Is Me

"Little Eleonor, since you aren't cooperating we will have to do this the hard way."

"W-what do you mean?" I ask Andy and try to sound a little secure of myself but fail miserably.

A few minutes ago I was extremely worried about Stephen and that made me talk the way I did to Andy, but now I'm starting to get worried with myself too because this person in front of me isn't the Andy I knew.

The way he was talking, the way he was looking at me, the aura he was emitting right now was extremely different from what I knew. He was always this intimidating but sweet guy that was nice to me and that even confessed to me some time ago making me even feel sorry for him for not being able to answer to his feelings.

However, right now I started to think that I probably didn't know the real Andy. I started to remember the times Stephen was hostile towards this person and that made me think that once again, Stephen was right.

Wait

Is he involved in this Stephen matter?!

"That little head of yours seems to be doing some hardcore thinking." He smirks. "I see that you were headed to your precious Stephen's house. Am I right?"

He knows where Stephen lives... I don't know why but I started to fear this guy, to think that he could hide his personality so well makes me think that probably he knows much more about this Stephen matter than even Robert does.

To his question, I only nod.

"Well, you won't find him there."

"What did you do to him?" I ask. I don't know what happened but I found some courage in me just thinking that this guy might have done something to him.

"I didn't do anything to him." He answers and moves towards me. I stay in my place, my feet seemed to be glued to the floor. "How could I hurt my stepfather? My mom would kill me." He says to my ear. Wait, What?

Stepfather?

"Y-your stepfather?" I ask lowly, it seemed that my voice had vanished, this didn't make any sense.

"Yes." Andy says and moves away so I could see his face now. "I know that he's a little young but my mom likes them pretty young. It's a little nasty thing if you ask me but it's her choice." He smirks

"That's bullshit!" I blurt out. Stepfather my ass, I don't believe a word this guy says.

Stephen wouldn't do something like this to me. I know that we are not in a relationship but what we had, felt stronger than what I see most of the couples having, he wouldn't betray my trust this way. I'm sure of that.

"If you say so, then is this bullshit?" He says and grabs his phone, after some time scrolling through his pictures he finds what he was looking for, he turns his phone's screen to me.

How?

W-What is this?

My heart broke, all the blood I had on my face vanished after I saw the pic Andy wanted to show me so much.

Even though I could only see his back, I was sure it was Stephen in that picture.

I spent too much time looking at him that now I could identify him with ease. There he was, supported by his elbows, in a bed, the sheet only covering his ass and the arms of a woman scratching his back. I couldn't see her face perfectly well but for what it was worth she seemed older than him, old enough to be his mother.
