"Here" Luke passed me a glass of water and a couple of pills. "It'll take the pain away."
"Thank you" I accepted the pills and swallowed them as quick as I could. I chugged the water, trying the get them to go down my throat as fast as possible. I hated taking pills. But I knew I needed them.
The whole day I didn't move from the sofa, mainly because I ached.
But also because it was nice to spend time with the lads, playing mindless video games like old times.
"Slow down, anyone would think you're thirsty" Michael tutted sarcastically, walking behind the sofa to the fridge to get a snack.
I snorted, water coming out both my nose and mouth. The sudden innuendo took me by surprise.
Unfortunately Ash was in firing range.
"Awwwwh bollocks..." Ashton pouted, shaking his hands to get the water off.
I erupted in more laughter and giggles. He was drenched.
"Who knew she could fit that much in her mouth" Cal jeered, carrying it on.
I put my face in my hands and flopped sideways on the sofa, trying desperately to stop my erupting laughter.
"Fucks sake lads that's my little sister!" Luke complained, face palming.
"C'mon Luke she's old enough now, she isn't innocent forever! Ain't that right Kay?" Cal winked at me.
What was he trying to get at?
My face flushed red. My palms got really sweaty really quickly. I thought about how the only experience with a boy close to what they were hinting at was at the party.
I shuddered at the thought.
"Shut up" I hissed in annoyance.
"Aw look she's getting defensive" Ashton cooed, coming back from the bathroom where he'd cleaned himself up a bit.
I scoffed.
Luke frowned a little bit, I could see the cogs turning in his head. "Kay? You got something to say?" He said pointedly.
"What?!" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. "NO! And even if I did, why should I have to tell you? That's my business. I would never corner you and ask you such a personal question in front of everyone!" I ranted. The embarrassment had me feeling sweaty all over.
I stormed to my room and slammed the door, not wanting any part in the conversation any longer.
I collapsed on the bed and cried. Cried about the pain it just took to storm out like that, and pain of the embarrassment.
That wasn't fair, surely? Just because I was a girl, and I was his little sister, doesn't mean he's entitled to know my sex life? Or lack of for that matter.
I thought back to when the boy wouldn't stop. When he kept trying after I had said no.
Was I being a pussy? Did I do something wrong?
My head started pounding, I hated crying. It always made me so dehydrated and gave me the biggest headache.
My thoughts were interrupted with a quiet knock on the door.
My muffled cries stopped immediately. I didn't want whoever it was to hear me.
I was buried in a cocoon of blankets and my duvet. Curled up next to some pillows underneath, with an air hole poked out the side invisible to the person who had just walked in.
The door slowly opened and quietly shut behind them, and I felt the bed sink as they sat not too far from me.
"Kay, he had no right to impose on you like that. Are you okay?" Mikey's soft voice spoke. He stroked my back through the layers of blankets.
My incoherent mumbles meant nothing to him, he couldn't understand.
He sighed. "C'mon bab, give ol' Mike a cuddle? For me?"
I groaned, giving in. I couldn't resist a Mikey cuddle. And he knew it.
I rolled over, unintentionally wrapping myself up even further and getting stuck.
I giggled slightly. I cut myself off, realising I had forgotten why I was upset. I was quick to remind myself. I silently looked up at Michael, not saying a word.
He chuckled and then gave me a sad smile. "He didn't mean it lovely. He just thinks you're his baby sister, which you are, and he just never wants to see you grow up. Curiosity killed the cat." He shrugged.
I frowned and looked past Michael into empty space.
He helped unravel me from my trap, and then set me between his legs, cuddling me from behind.
I felt so safe with him, he knew exactly what to say all the time. He knew exactly how to act, and I loved it. It broke my heart to know that he's been going through a hard time lately.
I wish there was something I could do to help.
I played with his fingers and he spoke softly into my ear. "I know it's not much help, and I may regret asking this question in fear of offending you... But, is there anything you wanna talk about? Y'anno, in that...Well..." He cleared his throat, "In that area?"
I sighed and looked to the floor. He turned us round so we were looking face to face at each other.
Well, I mean I wanted to talk to someone about it. Someone who had experience, not someone my own age who doesn't have a clue.
But did I want to talk to Mikey about it? I knew for a fact he definitely had experience in that department.
I hesitated. "No, to be honest Mikey, I haven't even thought about it, or anything close to that." I lied through my teeth. That was a conversation for another day.
He tilted his head, not believing me. But he let it go.
"A'ight mucka, you know you can always come to me in the future, alright?"
I nodded, resting my head on his arm because I couldn't quite reach his shoulder.
