My Brother's Boss

CHAPTER 24: This HAS To Be A Nightmare!

ALLY

I woke up this morning realizing that I wasn't at Parker's place because he wasn't next to me.

I have been staying over there a lot more than at my brother's place and I have gotta say that I like it.

It seemed like my brother had gotten up early to leave for work as well as Abbie because neither one was here when I woke up.

So I headed off to work by ordering an Uber and the moment I got to the office and off the elevator, I was greeting everyone with a smile while they shook their heads, gave me glares, whispered and some even gave me looks of sympathy. What the hell? You'd think they'd be used to the fact already of me and Parker being together.

So I continue to walk towards my desk and I notice that Parker wasn't here yet and that my brother was sitting behind my desk at my computer and as soon as he looked up and saw me, he was surprised.

"Don't you have your own computer and office?" I tease him.

He doesn't laugh or even crack a smile.

"Ally..." He begins to try and tell me something and then as soon as I walk around and glance at my computer screen, I see what he was looking at.

"Oh my god." I say under my breath.

"Ally, I tried to get rid of it but, I can't. It's set up like a virus." He tells me.

"How did...how could he..." I began while trying to fight back tears.

"Come here." Drake says and then pulls me in to hold me and comfort me.

"Why don't you grab your things or what you want and let's get out of here." He says.

"Okay." I nod.

How could Parker do this to me? Why would he do this? Oh god even worse, why in the hell did I ever let myself think he was any different?

I quickly grab the few things that are mine from my drawers and on top of my desk as this will be the last day I ever step foot in this office and we start heading to Drake's truck.

When we get home, I go right to the couch and plop myself down as I still am in shock of all this.

"Ally, I know you're upset but..." Drake begins until I stop him.

"Please don't." I tell him. "I need some time alone for a minute." I tell him.

He just nods his head and heads out the front door, although before leaving, I hear him say something.

"I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. I promise." Then he closes the door to leave.

I don't pay much attention to what he just said as I am no longer able to hold back the tears I start to feel fall down my face.

He's no different than Cam. Except that Cam is still in prison and doesn't know where I am. Which thank god cause I can't begin to worry about all of that now.

I feel dirty all of a sudden and decide to take a bath.

While laying in the tub, trying to relax, I start to wash myself with my loofa and I do my legs, arms and as soon as I move around my chest, I feel in my left breast, a lump the size of a small bouncy ball that you get in those toy dispensers.

"Oh no. Really? NOW?!" I say out loud through even more tears as I can't believe this is happening yet again and at the worst fucking time.

No, I'm not accepting this. This easily could be something else. It has to be. I'm clear I am fine.

I kept trying to rationalize what it could have been and then conclude that I should at least have it checked out still, just in case.

I swear that I have the worst luck ever. I just can't seem to be happy. I should just accept that this is how my life has always been and will always be. I guess it's true that good things always come to an end. They never last. At least for me.

Now though that I have this to worry about, I have to make sure that Drake doesn't find out or Abbie. And if this is what I think it is then I will deal with it.

I am so tired. Tired of trying to convince myself that things are gonna get better, when in reality, things don't. Not for some. Not for me.

Fuck my life! I think to myself as I start balling my eyes more than before because I feel so alone and I feel like this is all some really bad nightmare that I'm gonna wake up from and everything will be alright. Has to be, this can't be real, Right?

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
