TW: SA, SH, ED
Caleb
I was playing beer pong when this girl from my class ran up to me. I think her name was Sarah. "Caleb, Kiara is your sister right?" she says with a worried look on her face. I nod slightly getting worried too. "I found her in the downstairs bedroom and I think somebody took advantage" she said. I felt anger boiling inside me. "Why do you think that?" I asked trying to keep calm. "She wasn't moving and she barely had enough strength to tell me her name. She had bruises all over" Sarah kept talking. I asked her to show me directions. I saw Elijah near the bar flirting with some girls. As soon as he saw my face he ran over to me.
Sarah led us to the room and we saw Kiara. Our Kie, our tesoro, our baby sister. She looked so weak. I grabbed her close to me and I felt her shaking and crying. I felt like I couldn't let go. I told Elijah to call Alex and the others and right after I tried to ask Kie what happened but she kept quiet.
When Elijah came back he grabbed her hand. Sarah went to greet our older brothers as they arrived. I heard Chris yelling at the party people and soon enough Alex, Dylan and Chris rushed in. Their faces dropped as they saw Kiara in my arms. I hadn't looked at her body yet but I followed their eyes. She was bruised up. We were all furious. Chris punched a wall, Alex called someone and Dylan stayed with us.
At home I offered to stay with her for the night. Elijah also made his bed on the floor. She was finally asleep so I decided to get some sleep too. But that's when I heard her talking in her sleep. I called Elijah over to listen.
"Stop please" she cried out. "No. I said no. That's all it is supposed to take!" she continued. I wanted to calm her down but I couldn't. A part of me was hoping that she would say his name. "Carl stop!"
That's all I needed. I shushed her and she calmed down eventually. Elijah was already out the door. I knew he had gone to find Chris. Carl was Chris' best friend. Carl Anderson.

Elijah
"Carl stop!"
That asshole. I saw red. I left Caleb to calm Kie down as I ran to find Chris.
He was asleep in his room. I barged in and he awoke. "What the fuck dude?!" He groaned. I grabbed his blanket off him. And he stood up. "Your stupid friend fucking raped our sister!" I yelled at him. "What?" he seemed confused. "Carl was the one that raped Kie" I say throwing a pillow at him. Alex and Dylan rushed in the room.
"What's going on? We heard yelling?" Alex asked immediately. "Chris' best friend raped Kiara" I say. All of their faces go pale including Chris. Caleb rushed in the room. "Keep it down will you? I can barely keep her asleep!" he said.
Chris sat down in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes. "Carl did that?" he finally asked. Caleb nodded. "I'll talk to him" Chris then stated. "No. I will murder him first" I said. Dylan grabbed my shoulder. Hold up.
If everybody was here...then who was with Kie? I guess it hit both Caleb and I at the same time as we rushed back to her.
She wasn't in bed. We found her standing in front of her mirror seemingly scratching her arms. "Kie?" I approached her slowly. "I want him off" she whimpered. "You're making yourself bleed tesoro" Caleb said. "I can't get him off" she sobbed as she fell on her knees. Caleb caught her and wrapped his arms around her once again.
The others rushed to us. I guess they finally caught up. It was actually pretty heartbreaking. Watching Kiara fall apart like that because some motherfucker laid his hands on her and his dick inside her. I saw Chris' eyes getting teary. His best mate had done this and he felt guilty. "Kiara you should go back to bed" Alex said trying to push down his anger and sound loving. "I can't get him off" Kie whispers before falling asleep in Caleb's arms.

Kiara
Every time I closed my eyes...every. single. time.
I saw him. I felt him.
I tried to wash it off but he stayed anyway.
next morning
"buongiorno idioti" I said as I made my way downstairs. Alex had cancelled the trip but didn't force me to school. I had made a small decision for myself. I was going to push it down, get over it, be fine.
I received a subtle glare from Caleb and Elijah. Chris had a guilty look on his face. "How are you Kie?" He then asked. All of their heads turned to look at him and then at me. "I'm thriving" I responded smiling.
Elijah rolled his eyes. "pourquoi leur ments-tu?(why are you lying to them?)" he asked. "Dégage Elijah, tu n'as pas le droit de douter de moi maintenant(back off Elijah, you have no right to doubt me right now)" I snapped at him.
"Alright whatever that meant. You weren't thriving last night tesoro, we all saw you" Caleb interrupted.
"nessuno ti ha chiesto di calpestare Caleb(nobody asked for you to step in Caleb)" I yelled at him as I stood up from the table.
"I love it when we speak Italian but can you calm down?" Dylan asked me. I flipped him off and ran upstairs.

Chris
I know what Dylan did was wrong but if anything it proved she ain't fine.
Dylan
Okay that one was on me but I just wanted peace. She is being a tad dramatic.
Elijah
I don't see or hear anything besides these amazing beans. Damn I love beans. Please good lord don't make me the one that has to go and talk to her. I just want to enjoy my beans. Not be covered in them.
Caleb
Well that was dumb of Dylan. I wonder if Alex has anything to say, he has been quiet.
Alex
"Well wish me luck, I have to tell her about the doctor's appointment" I said after all that shitshow. I stood up and went upstairs. "che spettacolo di merda" I mumbled making Elijah look up from his plate.
I knocked on her door. "Unless you're over 20 and your name starts with A and you practically own me, GO AWAY" came from the inside. "I am over 20 and my name starts with A, also you live in my house and use my debit cards" I say walking in. She lets out a quiet giggle.
"Listen Kiara-" I start. But she interrupts me. "No. Don't 'listen Kiara' me, no. Whatever it is. NO" she says. "You have a doctor's appointment this afternoon" I say. She looks flabbergasted. "Alex I love you but I am not having another check up with that 70-year old Dr. Hudson." She says.
"It's not Dr. Hudson. I have another doctor. He is young and talented. He will do the check-up" I explain. "Why do I need a check-up?" she asks annoyed. "It's for your own safety kid" I say as I leave the room. Damn she took it well.
Kiara
I threw my mirror out the window resulting in shards of glass flying everywhere. My own safety? Fuck safety. What's that? Haven't met him! Needed him a few days ago but haven't met him!
Blah blah blah. Alex and his idiotic ideas. He is like Elijah when he gets his hands on beans. A total nut-job. Anyway. As long as I look fine, I will be declared fine. That's the act of the day.
*time skip to afternoon*
You know when you're going to a doctor's appointment after being raped, you'd think you'd go alone right. Well not me. I have everybody with me. I'm surprised they didn't put up posters or Facebook events. 'Come to a doctor's appointment with Kiara'
I was standing there, in the waiting room, with 5 guys. How stupid is that?
It just now sunk in that Alex had referred to the doctor as a 'he'. That didn't sit right with me...
And sure there he was. Young. Around Alex's age. A man. Seemingly a little too excited to see me.
"Ah doc how are you? This is Kiara" Alex stands up greeting him. "Hello Kiara, I'm doctor Hans Torres and I will be doing your check up. Consider me a gynecologist" he said smiling. "It's Kie and gynecologist?" I say now turning to Alex. He knew I would be mad. "Ms Carpenter, please follow me to this room so we can prepare you for the check up" a nurse said. I hesitantly followed her giving Alex a death glare.
Alex
Yeah so I didn't mention that it was a vaginal exam. She wouldn't have left the house with us. "Hans, I believe I told you over the phone what happened" I said making sure.
"Yes, this exam should give us further answers since none of you actually saw what happened" he said as he left to the examination room.
The guys looked worried. I'm surprised they wanted to join us.
Kiara
Dr Torres seemed nice don't get me wrong but I hated the idea of him being buddies with Alex. It seemed so weird. Like I couldn't trust him...
"I would ask what you're thinking about, but I can already guess" he said. I looked at him for a moment and then looked down again.
"I know you don't want to but I need to check you. Please remove your clothes" he said. He seemed so calm and nice. Maybe he just pitied me...
I did what he asked and he took a look down there first. I heard him sigh as he wrote something down.
"I need to check the rest of your body. Please remove your hoodie"
I froze at his words. He caught on to my panic. "Ms Carpenter?" he questioned. "I don't need that kind of body check. I'm good. I should go-" I rambled. "Ms- Kiara..." he warned.
"Only if you vow to never tell Alex whatever you find" I told him. "I have an agreement with your brother, I'm supposed to tell him everything" he responded. "Then good day!" I say getting ready to leave. He grabbed my wrist. I flinched slightly. "I can't let you go" he said. I almost yelped in pain. His fingers were squishing on my not so old cuts. He eyed me suspiciously.
"Sit down" he said. Usually I don't follow orders but he was pretty so I just went for it. "Take off your hoodie and top" he ordered. I didn't. "I will not tell your brother unless it's 101% necessary" he said. I still didn't move.
"Jesus what are you hiding that's so bad-" he couldn't finish. My hoodie was off. My top was off. He just stared. Not inappropriately. Just sadly.
