Who Knew?

"See you on sunday at the latest, no partys, no strippers and defenitly no alchool." Linda says looking at Aaron and Mason sternly then she turns to me.

"And if there is any trouble just give me a call. We can be home in three hours." I nod and she waves good bye

"Bye love you!" She calls out and closes the door.

"And then there were three" Aaron says in a spooky voice and I just laugh. Scary does not work on him.

I was sitting on the couch in some sweat pants and a long sleaved Quebec sweat shirt that I inherited from Sophia when I heard the phone ring. I look at the clock and notice they havent even been gone for more then twenty four hours.

"Hello?" I hear Aarons voice answer.

"Yeah, shes here, just let me get her." He says and I realize that the calls for me.

"Thanks" I whisper as he hands the phone to me silently.

"Hello?" I question.

"Lexis? Lexis! oh god I was so worried." I heard the voice of my soul wittness to all the bad.

"Kale!" I shriek in excitement and I see Mason and Aaron shoot me questioning looks. I guess it is probably because my voice usually barely goes over a whisper so I just ignore them

"I haven't heard from you since the...uh" I say stopping as I realize that Mason and Aaron were still in the room. "Uh... trial" I say finally giving up.

"Yeah sorry about that little sis. Sadly they wouldn't give me custody over you for unknown reasons but I'm going to call you from now on" He says.

"Whys it taken this long?" I ask and I hear his sigh.

"They wouldn't tell me where you were." He sighs.

"WHAT!" I cry. Of course the only comfort from my past would practically be ripped right from my finger tips.

"Yes but I'm in San Diego and we are going to see each other. Even if I am not allowed to take you I am still your brother."

I nod then remember that he can't see me. "Yeah" I whisper my voice thick. "I miss you Kale" I add

"I miss you to Lexis" He says "I'll see you soon, remember I love you"

"Okay, I love you too" I reply and then he hangs up. I wipe the tear that had rolled from my eye and look up at the two boys starring at me quizzically.

"It's late, I'm going to bed" I whisper then get up without another word and walk off into my room.

ALEXIS DREAM

I hear the door slamming open and I can smell the booz before I can even see him. My father, Cliff, in all his glory.

He walks around the corner into the kitchen and I see he has his best friend Brant with him.

"I wonder how she looks without all those clothes on" Brant slurs looking me up and down.

"Let me show you!" Cliff says grabbing for me as I try to dash up the stairs to my room.

But he grabs me and holds me tight as he rips my shirt off right at the seems. He then pulls my pants off and turns me towards Brant still holding my hair. I whimper.

"Isn't she a beaut" He slurs and Brant chuckles.

"She's still covered." He says

Oh god, Brant is so NOT instigating my rape. Please God, Cliff may be crul but he has never raped me before. I whimper again as my under garments are stripped off and Cliff is showing me off to Brant with a huge grin on his face.

"Lets have some fun!" Brant hisses his words out through his teeth and Cliff complys.

(I am soooooo not doing this rape scene... hells to the no)

I wake up screaming and crying and I fall off my bed and grab my comforter and sit in the corner rocking back and fourth until I hear the door open.

"Lex?" I hear Aaron ask.

I flinch away from his voice. I'm not worthy of this life. I should have done what Frank did. But I wasn't brave enough.

"Lexis?" I hear the gruffer voice of Mason ask and I flinch again burrying myself even more into my corner.

"Lex, what happened to you?" Aaron asks quietly in a small voice as he slowly kneels in front of me. Not touching me, Thank gods.

"H-h-h-he-e-e-e ra-a-a-ape-ed me" I whisper through the sobs that wreak at my tiny frame.

"Who did WHAT now?" Mason shouts and I let out a squeal and burry myself even more into the corner.

"No, no, no Lex, it's alraight, Mason and I wont hurt you. We're here to help." Aaron says sweatly and I shake my head vigerously. No, they're only going to end up hurt and dissapointed.

"Yes, no ones here, no one did anything to you. You are safe now" Aaron coos in my ear as he pulls me into a hug and I see Mason sit down behind me and feel his one hand rubbing my back gently as I cry on Aaron.

Aaron strokes my hair and whispers sweet nothings into my ear, trying to calm my shaking body.

"Lex, you're shaking like a leaf. Calm down, neither of us will hurt you" He coos into my ear and I nod against his chest realishing in the feeling of his hand stroking my hair and Masons hand rubbing my back with slow calming circles.

"I promise..." He starts but we both hear a slight cough. "We" Aaron corrects himself "We promise that nothing will happen, we wont hurt you." He says and I nod again.

"Please don't go" I whisper hoarsly after a while of sitting there.

"I'm not going anywhere" He promises and I slowly nod as I drift into a deep, dreamless, sxhaustion enduced sleep.
