Chapter 16

Bruce's P.O.V;)

"Would you hurry up!" I whispered shout.

"Im trying. I never sunk out of my window. I go through the front door! But I can't because Sam is there!" Ariel said while whispering and putting one leg out of her window.

"I thought you said you did this before!" I said while I watched her climb out.

"I did! But not through my window! Did you not just hear what I just said!?" She hissed.

"Ugh! Hurry up!" I said tapping my foot.

"Shut up alre-" she sipped and hit her elbow on the gutter, but thank god I was under her window to catch her.

"Fûck! I hit my funny bone!" She said while hissing.

"Oh no thank you?" I said while putting her down.

"Whatever." She said while dusting off her clothes. We made are way down the block were I parked my bike at. I waited till she got on and wrapped her arms around me and turned on my baby.

******

"Okay." I said while getting off and Ariel following my actions. "We are not at Croys."

"I can see that."

"Wait. How do you know we are not at Croys?" I said while I looked over to her with a questionable look.

"Ugh. Duh, I pranked him before." She said while she gave me a duh look.

"Okay whatever. Anyways we are at my house."

"Why the hell are we here!"

"Well if you quit cutting me off you would know." She just huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Like I was saying, we are at my house to vandalism my dads car."

"Why?"

"Because this bastard,cheated on my mom, but she still doesn't see the lipstick on his lips and cheek. He comes home with he's hair in different ways, and his two front buttons are not hooked. I sometimes confront him,but he says he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Then goes smokes." I said while looking up at the clear night sky.

"Sorry."

"Don't be. You didn't tell my da-Tom to cheat. Did you?"

"No."

"Well then. I don't need you sorries. So let's get started."

I grabbed the spray paint and handed two to Ariel, she started to draw whatever went through her mind. While I got out a knife and slashed the tries to he's BMW. Then I grabbed my base ball bat and broke all the windows and headlights. We spend like a good 2 hours on his car, and the after mass was priceless. Ariel drew all kinds of random shît ,I don't even know what she did. And there's glass everywhere. I grabbed the empty spray cans and put them back in my duffle bag and I told her let's go to my room.

We had to climb the fence and grabbed on my balcony railings and hulled our self up. I threw the bag in my closest and I kicked off my shoes and made my way towards my bed. I laid on my back and saw Ariel looking around my room. She stop at the picture of me and my sister on the wall with my older brother in it.He's at college right now.

"Who is this?" She asked while looking at her.

"Umm. She's my sister." I mumbled.

"What?" She said while turning towards me and making her way towards me.

"I said she's my sister." I said while looking to the right.

"No. I know,but I didn't know you had a sister." She said while laying right next to me.

"Yeah. Her name was Rebeca. She died from brain cancer 3 years ago."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought her up."

"It's okay. And why are you apologizing?" I said while I looked at her with my eyebrows furrowed.

"Well,because well she's gone and I thought that wasn't a topic to bring up." She played with her hands.

"Oh."

"Yeah." She looked down.

"It's okay. I guess. I got use to it." I said while shifting to my side to face her.

"What do you mean?" She asked while following my action.

"I mean, after she died everyone asked the same thing. 'Am I okay, how are you doing, I'm sorry, we love her too.' I mean she was like my right hand. We did everything together, I mean everything together. I just miss her sometimes you know? Like you feel like talking to her about all your problems and she knows how to fix it or help you through it. I just miss her so much." I said while sighing and closing my eyes.

I felt something warm and small wrap around me. I open my eyes and saw Ariel got

tangled with me. Our legs were together and she was laying on my chest. She wrapped her arms around my hips and listening to my heart beat. I'm pretty sure she heard it sped up.

"I know how you feel." She said in quiet voice.

"What do you mean?" I asked while holding on to her.

"I had a sister too." She said while not looking up.

"You had?"

"Yeah. She passed away.Her name was Jasmine. She was 2 years younger then me. We did everything together. Like we taught each other how drive, went to vandalize, did pranks on each other, and went to... Party's." She said while sighing.

"What's wrong with party's?" I said while resting my head on top of my arm.

"Well one... Night. Um... Sh-I went out to a party. I-ugh"

"Hey it's okay you don't have to tell me."

"No it's ok. I want too." She said while sighing.

"One night I went out to this party. Jasmine didn't want to go to this one. So I got there and called her. She answered and I told her to come to the party. She kept on telling me no, so I told her if she didn't go I wouldn't talk to her. That was the mistake. So w-when she snuck out, she called me telling me she was on her way. I-it to-took her an hour to get here. But she looked flustered, she kept on looking to the back of her. So I told her to loosen up a little and I gave her a shot. That was her first shot, and so the jocks saw, and they made her play beer pong. She kept on drinking, soon enough she had enough and had water. I was having the time of my life as she was throwing up. I would help by holding her hair. So later on we would dance t-then d-drink more, well I would drink more, and she would drink soda or water. And... Soon we got bored so we were heading out but we got stopped by some of the jocks. We-I-we..." She said while hiccuping with tears in her eyes.

"Hey. Hey it's ok." I said while rubbing her back. She was clutching on my t-shirt.

"You don't have to tell me." I said while I rubbed her back.

"No I'm already half ways done, might as well. I would just tell you later on either way." She said while taking deep breaths.

"They stopped us and asked if we needed a ride. There were four guys. Two were looking at my sister like she was some kind of meat. But I didn't bother to care because I was to busy flirting with the other boys. So I said sure, and we followed the guys to the car. That's was my other mistake, getting in. So I told them our address, and they nodded. Me and Jasmine were in the back with two guys. They made us sit on their laps. I didn't put up a fight and just sat on one of their laps. My sister was not that drunk but she was sick because that was her first time drinking. So she didn't want too so she wanted to sit in the middle. That guy James,didn't want her too so he s-s-started to touch her in places that s-she didn't like. So she told him to stop, but he didn't and I was to busy making out with this guy, I didn't help her. So he got out a pocket knife a held it her neck. He told her that she better listen or he would kill her right there. So she did what he told her to. And soon enough she was crying while he was touching her in places she didn't like. We stopped at some motel. We all got out, and I was wobbling around while my sister was stiff as stick. They took advantage of me and threw me on t-the bed. T-t-they s-started to t-take off my c-clothes and left me in my bra and underwear. They were trying to do the same to my sister,but she was putting up and fight. So one was holding me down while James and the two boys were tearing all her clothes. Soon enough she was in her bra and underwear to. I was screaming while they were going to rape her. She was still putting up a fight till James pulled out his knife again. He held it to her neck and told her to stop moving. I was screaming, hoping someone would hear me. The guys covered my mouth and made me see the whole thing. T-t-they r-raped H-her in front of m-me. I couldn't do anything. I saw all three of them raped her. Then the one went to me and grabbed me while the guy that was holding me, rapped her too. They were going to do me next but my sister got up and used the lamp and hit the guy that was holding me. He let me go and went to the ground. The three guys soon left me but not before they kicked me in the stomach. I was facing my sister fight off the guys,but James went up to her with his knife again,and told her if she made a noise he would kill her. I was trying so hard to get up but the pain was to much to handle. She looked at me with sad eyes then she screamed as loud as she can. H-he stabbed her in the stomach and twisted the knife, then pulled it out. I was screaming my lungs out when I was saw my sister fall to the ground. Then I soon heard police sirens. They soon got their stuff and ran. I'm guessing someone heard us screaming but it was to late. My sister sto-stopped b-b-breathing. She died right in front of me. The police said she died a minute she got stabbed. He stabbed her right in her lung and blood filled it quickly became of how big he made the hole. That night I lost my sister. And it was all my fault." She said while crying in my chest.

"No. No Ariel. That wasn't your fault. You couldn't do anything."

"Yes. If I didn't drink. If I didn't tell her to come this would never happen." She sobbed out.

"No. Don't blame your self. You didn't know that would happen. So stop blaming your self."

"I can't." She said while hiccuping and crying even more.

"Yes you can. I would help you." She only nodded and cried some more. Soon enough her breathing got to a normal pace and she fell asleep in my arms.

"I would protect you Ariel. I won't let you go to where I was." I said while kissing her head.

"What are you doing to me Ariel." I said while closing my eyes and cuddling her in my arms and letting the darkness in.
