Having Fayth

Secrets and consequences

Blain POV

Am I interrupting?" Her voice pulls me from Fayth like ice water dumped over my head.

Regan.

"No. Nothing." Fayth says cooly and try's to move around me to leave. I grab her hand to keep her right there. I don't want her running off. Ren is in no position to make sure she's ok and I don't need her meeting up with that guy she was just kissing a few minutes prior or getting hurt.

Regan gave Fayth the darkest death glare I've ever seen.

"I know you said you cheated on me, Blain, but I never expected it to be with your sister of all people." Her tone held disgust and contempt. Fayth flinched as if she had just been slapped back into reality. It rubbed me the wrong way just as it always does when someone calls her my sister like we're blood. Like my feelings for her are wrong. "Knock it off, Regan." I warn, but she ignores me, still looking at Fayth like she could kill her on the spot.

"Why should I, B? This little slut took what was mine!" She seethed when Fayth squeezed my hand. "Sleeping with my boyfriend so he'd break up with me wasn't enough? You had to make a disgusting display in public at my best friend's house?"

Fayth is utterly confused standing in shock at what she's hearing glancing between Regan and I and I knew right then I should have told her what happened. I was so concerned with keeping her close that I kept something important from her for fear that she would run away, but now...

"That's enough, Regan!" I yell back. "This wasn't about Fayth and I. I made the mistake. It was all me."

Fayth looks at me like she doesn't even know me anymore. Tears flow down her cheeks and she pulls her hand from mine.

"Fayth, wait. Please." I try but she's already bolting out of the room.

I shove past Regan and chase after her. She can't have gotten far, but I lost her in the crowd and neither Ren nor the guy she was kissing are anywhere to be found.

The only thing I can think to do is call Ren, but his phone is shut off.

Where the fuck is she?

I searched the party one more time not finding her or them anywhere, before I call a ride home and started texting her friends. It's midnight on a school night, so none of them answer. The only place she would have gone is now no longer an option. She wouldn't go back to Ashley or Toni.

Ren has quickly taken over the place of her best friend so I make the quick decision to keep calling him.

By the time I reach my house he still hasn't picked up the call so I grab my keys and head over to his house. Even if she's upset with me I need to know she's ok.

I jumped out of my car as soon as I've thrown it in park and bang on his front door until the entryway light turns on.

Ren answers in just a pair of boxers with lipstick kisses and hickies covering his neck and chest. "What the fuck, man?"

"Is Fayth here?" I rush out. I can't even bring myself to care if she's the one who put those marks on him. I just want to know she's somewhere safe.

He looks at me, brows furrowed... anger creeping in "what the fuck do you mean 'is Fayth here?' She was with YOU last time I checked." He glares "what.did.you.do?" He shoved me back and I almost lost my footing.

"Not now, Ren! You can kick my ass later. Right now she's missing. Where would she go?" He has every right to be pissed with me. It is all my fault.

He shakes his head "if she's not home and not with me I don't fucking know." He sighs out "she didn't know anyone else at the party."

My jaw ticks as I grind my teeth "do you know who she was kissing earlier tonight?"

Ren smirks "you didn't recognize him?" The annoyance I hold in my voice is clear in my one word response, "no!"

"Axel Vaughn" he raised a brow at me and I lost my breath. "No! You knew who he was and let her near him?" I yell. Now it's my turn to be pissed off.

Axel Vaughn was sent to juvie when we were 13 for fighting. He messed a kid up so bad that the kid ended up in the hospital for months. What was he doing back and why the hell would Fayth hang out with him?

He's dangerous. Fayth is in trouble. I feel it in my gut. "We need to find her. Do you have his number... address... anything?"

Ren shakes his head "he just got back into town. I don't know, but he won't hurt her."

"You don't fucking know that, Ren!"

Fayth POV

I ran from the room, through the sea of people. I need to get away. I was so focused on my escape and the fact that Blain had not only lied to me, but he called being with me... taking my virginity... a mistake, that I ran right into a hard slab of muscles and nearly fell on my ass.

His hands wrapped around me quickly to keep me upright.

Those mysterious gold and blue eyes met mine and for a moment I was stunned.

"I guess you were right about seeing each other around." He winked. I gave a shakey smile in response.

"What were you running from?" He asked looking behind me for any sign of danger.

I swallowed hard. "I need to get out of here. Do you have a car?" I ask quickly seeing Blain pushing through the crowd.

Axel nods and guides me out of the house to his car and we peel out just before Blain steps out onto the porch.

I sigh in relief and lean back into the seat. I can't face him anytime soon.

If what was said is true, I lost my virginity to the person I trusted and loved most... my step-brother... and he regretted it so much that he lied to me.

This overshadows all of my thoughts and my heart breaks a little. The pain is far worse than catching Toni and Ashley in my bed.

I rub the spot in my chest where the emotional pain has become physical. It hurts so fucking bad I almost can't breathe.

"Where to, little one?" Axel's deep voice pulls me from my thoughts.

"Anywhere but home." Was the only response I could give.
