Chapter Twenty

Lily

D eath. Life.

Bouncing between the two is numbingly cold and blistering hot all at the same time.

“Your brother has come a long way for you. You’re gonna get your wish, bitch.”

Hopper’s face fills my mind in distorted flashes before the darkness consumes me. Every breath is one I don’t want to take.

“Lils, you’re gonna be fine. Ride this out, and by the time we get home, you’ll feel better than you do now.”

I hear my brother, but I can’t see him, though I swear my eyes are open. I’ve been banged around by men before but this… what Hopper did to me, I’ve never known a man’s rage like it.

“Take your turn brothers, she’s all yours. Enjoy!”

Sweat and stale beer fills my nose. I concentrate on taking one breath at a time since my last breath doesn’t seem to be coming.

“You like that, baby?”

“I don’t mind sloppy seconds. Better than sloppy thirds or fourths.”

Laughter.

Cruel, cold, menacing laughter.

I clench my legs together and more pain radiates between my thighs. Do I even want to remember how many assholes climbed on top of me… how long did it drag on for?

A soft warmth envelopes my hand and I immediately know I’m with my brother.

“Harper’s so worried. I’m taking you to hers. I spoke to her this morning…”

“I should’ve gotten rid of you a long time ago. You fuckin’ tricked me with your smile and pussy, but I see you now, you’re nothing more than a whore.”

A tight grip around my throat cuts off all air and I pray this is it, this time. There’s nothing but manic violence in his eyes as he toys with trying to take my life and keeping control of himself.

I think of Harper. She won’t have to worry that I’ll fuck up again. We can both finally find peace from this.

“Lils, I got you. You’re safe now.”

I’ll never be safe because it’s me I have to keep myself safe from.
