"Had a nice day, baby?" There was an ugly look in Ryan's eyes and Hailey looked away pretending not to notice. But her hands trembled as she stood there. "Whose car was that? Got a boyfriend in town?"

"No." She faced him and she didn't like what she saw. His eyes were red and she could see that the bottle he held was half empty. He'd been drinking. "I'm working."

Ryan gave out a laugh. "Oh, won't you look at that. The adopted child of dear Uncle Will is working. Where are you working anyway?"

"It's not important." She was about to walk away but Ryan grabbed her roughly on the arm. He caught her unaware and she flew backward and tripped over his foot, stumbling to keep her balance.

"What's your hurry?"

"I'm...I'm gonna wait for Jar outside." She tried to look him in the eyes, but she was afraid to. Even as tall as she was, she was definitely no match for Ryan.

"Isn't that sweet...wait for Jar. Well tell you what, he's not coming home!" Ryan laughed. "You know, I've always hated your family. Your fucking happy family! And I hated William even more. He rejected me and my father and now he's stuck in that fucking jail!"

Hailey nodded sympathetically, trying to pull away from him but he had her hands in a vise like grip and it was obvious that he had no intention of letting her go, at least not for a moment.

"I told you to stick around, didn't I?" Ryan said as he traced Hailey's jaw. She nodded, mute with terror. At 18, she had never been manhandled before and it was small consultation that if Jared and William were here, they'd have killed Ryan.

"Wanna drink?"

"No, no." Her face was white with fear as she shook her head.

"Sure you do." He held both of her arms with one hand and forced the bottle to her mouth with the other. He tipped it up, spilling it over her shirt but getting a fair dose of the bitter liquid through her clenched lips in spite of her efforts to resist him.

"Stop! Leave me alone! Let me go!"

Ryan laughed watching her discomfort as tears filled Hailey's eyes and suddenly he threw her down on the floor.

"Take your clothes off."

Hailey's eyes widened. "Ryan, please..." she started to get up and moved back but he grabbed her legs and pulled her back to the floor where he was kneeling. The bottle cast aside, filling the room with cheap whiskey.

"P-please, don't..." Her voice trailed off as she cried continuously wishing Jared would finally be home and save her from this evil guy. "Please...please!" She didn't know what to say anymore. She couldn't tell him that she was a virgin. She was crying uncontrollably as he tore her shirt off.

"You've given it away, didn't you, Hailey? C'mon, be nice to you cousin."

"You are not my cousin! Stop it! Let me go!" And then with a clenched fist, fighting for her life, she hit him. She hit him squarely in the eye and he groaned but he grabbed her and slapped her hard, so hard that left her breathless.

"Bitch! I told you to take your clothes off!" He was pulling at her pants with one hand pinning her to the floor with the other. His full weight pressed down on her and she thought he would break her arms. But she didn't care. He'd have to kill her before she'd let him take her. She fought like a wild animal but she was no match for him. Again and again, he threw her to the floor, cursing and calling her names and then suddenly with a dull ripped sound, he tore her pants off and her pale thighs were exposed to him as she trembled.

"N-no..don't..please, please." She was sobbing as he tore her underwear, still holding her prisoner with one powerful hand, her arms high above her head, his knees straddling her as he grabbed her with his free hand and then as she sobbed and begged he pulled his pants down just enough to let her see him lunging toward her. There was no hesitation as he found his mark and pressed his way inside her. Smashing her on the floor with each thrust as she screamed and groaned in anguish. He slapped her again and this time drew blood. There was blood dripping from her mouth and she was lying in a sea of it as he raped her. Hailey's back was torn to shreds and she lay gasping with pain and terror as he came and then slapped her again. But there was no fight left in her now. There was no point, she lay crumpled and beaten as he stood up and pulled up his pants. He picked up his bottle and took a gulp and then laughed as he looked down at Hailey.

"That was good. You better wash up." Ryan laughed again as he slammed the door.

Hailey was left on the floor bleeding and broken and wanting to die. She lay there and sobbed until there were no tears left. She wanted to die as she lay there. It took her a long time before she crawled to her knees and staggered to the shower by their bathroom. She let the water run as she reached and poured the warm water over her. She sank to her knees again, whimpering softly. Her whole body ached and she was caked with blood and half naked.

Jared killed the engine of his car and didn't expect for the door to be unlocked. He knew Hailey was already inside but then she usually locks the door. As he opened the door, his eyes widened and was terrified from what he saw. The living room was a mess, it smelled of liquor and there was blood almost everywhere. His sight seemed to have dimmed and his body turned cold as he searched for his sister.

"Hailey! Hailey!!" He screamed as he searched for his sister, his throat seemed so dry and his heart was throbbing loudly. "Hail—"and he saw her trying to cover her body and she collapsed mercifully at his feet in a pool of blood, unconscious.
