The annoying ringing sound of my alarm woke me up from a fitful sleep. I opened my eyes as I remembered everything I found in my dad's office yesterday. I quickly get up and take a shower with only one thought on my mind, I need to talk to Shelby. She's the only one that can help me decode and understand everything and she's my bestie.
So with that in my mind, I rush through my breakfast. Once I'm done I lock up the house and go the garage. I look around the garage filled with cars ranging from vintage to the latest all thanks to my dad's obsession with cars.
Thinking about it makes me miss dad even more,I shake my head and shift those thoughts to the back of my mind. I get in one of my cars and quickly speed out of the garage.
On getting to Shelby's house, I get out of my car when a heavy feeling of unease settles in my stomach, making me pause and gather myself before walking up to the door.
I knock on the door, and there is no response. I knock on the door again, no response. I was about to go when I noticed the door was unlocked, so I open the door thinking Shelby didn't hear me knocking.
I let myself in as this was technically my second home and I've been here so many times. As I walked in I felt a wave of unusual discomfort wash over me, I brushed it off thinking it was just my breakfast but my gut was telling me something was wrong.
"Shelby!, Shelly !!". I called once I got to her room but she wasn't there. I walked out of her room, thinking she was in the garden as that's where she normally spends her free time, I went there.
Realizing she wasn't there, I get my phone out to call her when an arm wraps around my waist. I turn around so fast that I feel dizzy but that washes away when I realize who's standing in front of me.
It was Shelby's older brother Tanner. I suddenly remember yesterday when Shelby said he had come back, how could I have been so stupid, I totally forgot.
"Alana". I recoiled with disgust at the sound of my name coming from his mouth. "Oh come on, don't be like that Ally it's been years now and you've grown up so much. You are so beautiful and my my look at those tits and ass". I couldn't stop myself as my hand landed on his cheek hard, so hard his head snapped to the side with my hand print engraved on his stupid face.
He looked at me as anger and lust filled his eyes. " I see you are still the same disgusting person you have always been, and who do you think you are that you think you can talk to me in such a manner, I'm not that little girl you used to know". I say as anger and disgust flow through me the longer I see him.
" Oh I can see that" he says as his filthy eyes roam my body. Deciding I've had enough I side step him and start to walk when he grabs my wrist.
"Where do you think you are going? I'm not done with you, stop acting like you never liked me with the way you were always throwing that body on me". Disbelief filled me at the audacity of his words but then again I'm not really surprised, Tanner has always tried to sleep with me and touch me inappropriately, he even almost raped me at a party one time ever since then I swore that no one will ever make me feel that way again, I'm not about to start now.
"Really, you think so"?. I asked him with a smile. " I know so" he answered with a smug smile. I wanted to wipe that stupid smile off his face and I did just that as I kneed him hard on his balls.
I took off running while he groaned and screamed in pain like a bitch. I smiled at his pain but then I heard his clumsy footsteps behind me as I picked up my pace heading straight for the doors, I just needed to pass the living room, I smiled as I was about to open the door when my hair was tugged so hard, pain erupted from my scalp as I fell quite a few feet from the door.
"Fuck". I whispered as I landed on my side. He came closer to me and straddled me. "You look so pretty under me" he said licking his crusty lips. I punched him across his face and kneed his back hard while bucking my hips. He groaned and fell off me.
Anger clouded my senses as I climbed on top of him and started punching his face, he tried to push me off him but I pinned him down with my knee as I continued punching remembering all the disgusting words, looks and touches he threw at me.
I was brought back to reality as I was pushed off him. I looked up to see Shelby looking at me with so much shock and anger I was taken aback.
"What the fuck is wrong with you Alana?". She asked with so much anger in her voice. "Shelby thank God you are here, Shelly he tried to touch me". I said as I reached for her hand. She stepped back with disbelief in her eyes.
"How could you accuse my brother of touching you, he always told me that you always threw yourself at him but I didn't believe but now I know it's true". As she said those words I felt hurt and shock run through me.
"No Shelby it's the other way round your brother has always tried to touch me, you remember that senior's frat party we went to he tried to rape me. That's why I told you we needed to leave immediately. I would never do that, why would I lie or joke around with something so serious".
"You tell me Alana, I've always seen you as my sister but you've always tried to act in the opposite way despite my refusal." He said feigning innocence and sadness in his eyes but I could see the evil swirling in his eyes.
"Alana I can't believe you would do this to me, I considered you my sister, my best friend, my other half but you come to my house and do this now that's a new low even for you." Tears welled up in my eyes as she said such terrible things how could she not believe me…me her best friend we've known each other since we were in diapers.
"Please Shelly, you have to believe me I came here to talk to you about my dad - "oh please Alana why didn't you call to tell me that you were coming huh you just showed up here knowing my brother would be home alone… I'm not surprised Uncle tobi left you, he would be ashamed if he saw this disgusting side of you". Now that hit like slap on my face . I stepped back as the harsh brunt of her words went straight to my heart.
"It's that what you really think of me Shelly?, I thought you knew me. How could you say all this to me. Please believe me I would never lie about this, please Shelly believe me." I begged her moving closer to touch her but she pushed me away with so much hatred in her eyes.
"Just leave and I don't want to ever see your face in my life ever again!!". " Get out you whore". I stepped back as more tears fell from my eyes, I looked at Tanner and he had a smirk while his eyes dancing with amusement at my pain and he mouthed " you should have just let me fuck you".
I cleaned my tears and started walking away but before walking out the doorI turned to her " the day you find out the truth don't come asking for forgiveness". I said before opening the door and slamming it behind me.
I walked over to my car just as Shelby's dad got out of his. I just looked at him as I got into my car and drove off with shock written all over his face as he walked slowly to his house.
As I drove off I realized that maybe she was right and maybe I d
on't deserve to be loved.
