That Night Changed Everything

Chapter 3

The wind blurred as I felt a surge of adrenaline. The steady thump of my footsteps echoed in my ears as I bolted up the stairs. Collapsing onto my bed, feeling relieved.

Peeking out the window, I could hear the faint voices. There beneath my window was Sebastian and a gang of other men. Focusing on the guy leaning on the car with a bud light in his hands.

In a instant, that stranger slammed Sebastian to the car. Sebastian eyes grew dark, this unfamiliar stranger hands strangling him. Everyone around Sebastian offered him no help, instead they all watched intensely.

His hands were grasping at Sebastian's throat, leaving him without oxygen. My eyes widened with fear and a small gasp escaped my throat. Sebastian reached his arms out trying to hold on to this aggressive stranger.

Sebastian slowly brought his arm up and over this stranger's arm. The guy automatically stepped back and Sebastian stared at him angrily.

Sebastian glared at this guy. The guy suddenly started yelling at Sebastian. Kimberly, the strangers faint voice shouted. That was the only word I managed to hear. Sebastian stomped back into the house.

The others scattered and as I watched them all get into their vehicles. The guy that had choked Sebastian glared at me viciously with his dark grey eyes. I tried to analyze my feeling, and decided on edgy and frightened.

His upturned mouth smug and unpleasant, formed a smirk. A tight congestion builds up in my chest as I shut the curtain fast. Breathing heavily, I peeked out the curtain and everyone had vanished from the lot.

Sighing, I collapsed on the ground, waves of exhaustion hitting me. Who was that guy? Standing to my feet, I looked around. If this was Kimberly's old room could she have died here? I walked slowly to her closet.

Kimberly's old clothes hung up on colorful hangers. Below the clothes were shoeboxes. I opened the shoe box and there wasn't shoes in there. It was letters, the first letter written with a red pen.

I won't be gone long, my love.

Letting out a ruffed gasp, the paper dropped out my hands. The same lines my r****t once said to me. Picking up the next letter.

You're secret will be revealed.

This time the words struck me like lightning. Maybe, Kimberly wasn't severely beaten maybe she committed suicide. Grabbing the next letter that was well written, making it different from the others.

I'm watching you.

My heart sped up and beat rapidly. A shiver of fear ran down my back. Fiercely, forgetting the other letters I placed them back were they were. I closed the shoe box and then heard a computer notification.

Ding. Glancing to the left, where had that noise came from. Reaching my arms out to feel for any sort of computer, laptop.

Pulling out what feels to be a laptop I grabbed it placing it on my lap. I pressed the on button and I felt petrified. The last thing Kimberly was on was her journal. Gasping as I scrolled down.

June 2012

I witnessed my brother r**e someone. Of course, he didn't know I was around. My closest brother raping somebody just scared the living daylights out of me. The girl put up no struggle of any kind. Who knew that the person closes to you, who you think you know everything about, could be a monster?

Tears stung my eyes, who could be her closest brother? I shut the laptop as I went through the list of Hunter brothers. Cole, Flynn, Lucian, Julian, Dean, Noah, Xavier,...Sebastian.

Noah told me how Sebastian and Kimberly were so close. They told each other everything. Could the girl be me? No, this isn't right it's not me Sebastian wouldn't-

He did put up a fight when I first arrived. But, I was told Kimberly has been dead for more than a few days. How could she possibly have been alive?

All of this thinking made me lose track of the time. It was late at night and, everyone were probably asleep. I heard a grunt from outside my window. I stood and glanced out the window. Sebastian had landed perfectly on his two feet.

Why was Sebastian sneaking out? He ran off without turning back. There's a secret Sebastian's hiding from not only me, but his brothers. I stared as Sebastian ran into the woods. I debated on wether or not I should follow him.

Could Sebastian be my r****t? Kimberly did say she witnessed Sebastian raping someone. I decided to push all of this inconvenience for tomorrow. He's hiding a secret behind those dark, green eyes.

If the only way to figure Sebastian out, is to get closer to him, then I am damn well prepared to pretend that I care about the asshole.

Kimberly seemed like a sweet girl.. and figuring this out my help her, and me. Sliding under my covers and turning on my side, I thought. Maybe getting close to Sebastian could be utterly dangerous. But, maybe it could be a essentially good.

Closing my eyes, I managed to get to sleep. Tossing and turning in my bed, sweat running down my forehead, my adrenaline pumping. My mouth suddenly dry, my covers kicked on the ground.

"I'm watching you." Those dark grey eyes spoke to me. He aggressively strangled me, placing a pillow over my face. Screaming I lift up crying for help. Placing my hands in my face as a pair of strong arms carried me away.

Sobbing slightly, my head grew dizzy. A tickle of fear ran down my body. My eyes stayed shut and my body felt as if a car crashed into me. My body was aching. Gently being placed on a familiar bed, the bed squeaked as another person got in.

"It was just a nightmare.." the soothing, alluring voice said, stroking my jet black hair. I opened my eyes and Sebastian's eyes were burying into my very own. Sebastian pulled my body into his.

Before I could resolve my thoughts, I felt his breath, hot on my forehead and the firm grip of his hands around my hips.His lips came in contact with my forehead. Sending shivers of desire up and down my body.

Images of Sebastian's bare chest went flashing through my mind, as the dizziness of desire shivered up through my spine. My senses where overloading, the smell of his cologne entwining and dancing around me, the sounds of his breath ringing in my ears. Sobbing again as another image of those eyes appeared.

I felt flushed, dizzy, hot, aroused and scared. I Worried he knew I was fantasizing about him, and I was terrified that I knew about him being a r****t.

"Shhh.." was the last thing I heard before falling asleep. It felt as if I were drowning in desire.

I awakened in Sebastian's bed, his bare chest rubbing against mine. Sebastian's face buried in my neck, his hands remained on my hips. Sebastian eyes fluttered open and we stayed embraced in this position for awhile.

Both of us up, not moving a muscle. His head lift up and our eyes locked unwillingly. His eyes dropped to my lips, his green eyes searched every part of my face, as if he were examining it.

My eyes searched his perfectly-well made face, Sebastian's hand moved to my cheek. As soon as his hand made contact with my face, tingles shot through my body as my breathing quickened.

He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and I stared into his eyes hard, trying to read through his lies and secrets, but his eyes were screaming peace and serenity.

Ignoring everything else in the background, a light flickered through the room window. Sebastian broke our stare and we both looked to where the light had come from. There, standing in the room, was the dark grey eyed, cruel man.

He stared at me, giving Sebastian and I a what-the-heck look. Gulping, Sebastian automatically removed his body from mine. Sebastian stood on his two feet, at first I thought I was dreaming, I shut my eyes and re-opened them. Still in the room was the dark grey eyed man and the dark green eyed beauty.

"Stephen what are you doing here?" Sebastian sounded mad. He growled low and clenched his jaw.

"I came to.." glancing at me he spoke but quickly matched his eyes with Sebastian."talk about something." Stephen said. His voice sound just as evil as he looked.

I was afraid to move out of my spot, fearing that if I move Stephen will attack. Turning my head to the opposite way my breathing speeding. Sebastian shouted at Stephen once again.

"Get out, I'm busy." Sebastian said low, demanding. Stephen chuckled softy before slamming Sebastian on the wall closest to me. A frightening gasp escaped my lips. Stephen made eye contact with me before turning back to Sebastian.

Stephen's forearm was buried in Sebastian's neck. Stephen grinned at Sebastian. Sebastian looked angry but showed no signs of struggling.

"Think about your sister, we talk now or you will never know." Stephen said. As he spoke, trying his best to mumble, all the information I found appeared in my head. Sebastian had r***d someone, Kimberly saw everything.

"What do you say?" Stephen said. Sebastian grunted, I can't believe I'm witnessing this without stopping it.

"I asked a question, I believe." Stephen said his grin still plastered on his face.

Groaning, Sebastian didn't speak. He struggled to get a word out but nothing came. I couldn't watch this any more, Sebastian let out a squeaky yes but, you could barely hear it.

"What was that?" Stephen placed his forearm deeper into Sebastian's throat, grinning evilly.

"Stop." I said lifting up and holding eye contact with Stephen. He glared at me and his lips turned upward. Sebastian stared at me, shocked.

Stephen viscously and without hesitation ran towards me.
