I woke up the next morning and looked around to find myself in a strange room I instantly got scared as the memory of the day before came flooding back I couldn't help myself, and I screamed before I could even move both my Flynn boys came tearing into the room. Lee instantly came up to me "It is ok Twin we are at the apartment M, D and Max got for us." I just nodded and threw myself into his arms and started crying "was Noah there Twin?" "Yes, he was he was able to pull him off but unfortunately not soon enough." "Is he here now?" "Yes, he hasn't left your side. He only left because mom made him leave to eat and help Max pack up your dorm room the rents talked, and we will not be going back to the dorm. Also, Lewis has stopped by." "Oh, Lee I am not ready to see him." "Then we won't let him see you. You know Noah, and I will keep you safe no one is going to hurt you again Shells. Oh, they got him. After Noah threw him out, he got away from James and tried to run. The cops found him at the airport on his way home. He has been arrested for what he did. There is just to much evidence and too many witnesses." "Can I have something to eat?" "Of course dork anything you want." "Hmm, steak sounds good." "Fine, I will let M&D know." Lee got up and walked out of the room to give me some privacy. I lay there shaking, and everything kept flashing back and all of a sudden I felt so dirty I could still feel his hands on my body. I jumped up and was glad that someone had at least brought my shower stuff over and started to scrub myself clean. I wasn't even sure how long I was in there, but when I came out, there was an outfit laid out for me on the bed and a note that read "Elle sweety I went out and bought this for you. So that you know I took into account what you usually wear. When you're ready, we are all going out to eat dinner. Oh, and Max told Bradley, and he is not happy someone hurt his big sister. Well, we are waiting for you sweetheart. Love June.
I got dressed and walked out to meet my family, and before I could say anything, Brad ran into me, wrapping his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder. I couldn't help but chuckle "what is this I leave for two months, and you are a little taller than me so not fair." Brad just laughed, "What do you expect I am a growing boy?" We all went out to dinner, and Brad would not leave my side. He had his arm wrapped around my waist, and whenever Noah came close to me, he would growl at him. I finally whispered at him, "Bradleybear, why are you growling at Noah if he hadn't been there; it could have been much worse." "Simple Shellybellie if he hadn't broken up with you then you two would still be together, and you would never have gone out with Lewis and met that jerk." "Sweety we can't blame Noah or Lewis for what happened they could not have known." "I know Shellybellie but your my sister and no one is supposed to hurt you and not the way he did no woman deserves what he did." I stopped walking, pulling Brad into my arms. "You know I am so proud of you, and I know mom would be too." "Shellybellie are you going to be ok." "Yes, and I love you with everything I have even more than Lee." I leaned up and kissed his cheek and he did the same to me. "I love you Shellybellie forever and always." I just smiled at him "yes forever and always Bradleybear." We turned and caught up with our family, and I couldn't help but glance behind me since I felt like I was being watched.
I just shook it off as we made it to the restaurant and I let Brad in before me while Noah held the door open. As I walked through, he walked in behind me "Uhm Shelly is it just me or do you feel like we are being watched?" "Nope, not just you. It was really bad when I was talking to Brad. No one and I mean no one better hurt him, Noah, I won't let it happen." "No, I will take care of it you already been through so much I will take care of making sure you two are safe." We sat down, and I was sitting next to Brad and Noah. Throughout the dinner, Brad kept leaning into me and resting his head on my shoulder wrapping his arms around me. Noah was laughing so hard he finally decided to cut up my steak so I could wrap an arm around Brad and eat so he would eat. I hated that the reason our family had come to visit was that I was hurt, but as long as I had them with me, I knew I could face anything. I looked around and the people I call my family my dad Bradleybear, Sara, my Flynn boys, Mathew and June. As tears slipped down my face, I looked at them and said "I don't know how I ever became so lucky to have each of you in my life. Dad, you were always there for us even though you lost mom you never forgot to take care of Brad and me more than I can say I did. Noah, you have always been the big brother I never had, who became my first love and boyfriend and even though we are in a rough patch in our relationship and I ignored you. You were still there for me thank you, NoNo. Lee my twin whom I love with all my heart you came running even though it was a stranger who called you to help me through this and even though I know it killed you to let Noah keep helping me you still stayed waiting for me to be ready to move. Sara, you are not just my twins girl you have become a best friend, and I am grateful to you for loaning me my twin to help me through this. Mathew my second father always being there for me no matter what. I see the pain in your eyes, and I hate that it is there because of what happened to me. I swear I did what you said and didn't let a strange boy into my room. June first you were my second mother helping my mom deal with a little girl even though you had Noah and Lee to take care of and after my mom left being the mother I was missing I thank you. I love you all and thank you again for helping me through this." As I started sobbing Noah got up picked me up and carried me to my dad placing me in his lap. I heard dad say "thanks, son." I wrapped my arms around him "I am sorry daddy I tried not to let him in just like Mathew said. I am so sorry daddy." "Sh my sweet Rochelle this is not your fault. James spoke to me and told me you had said no twice and that he pushed his way in and the guy was as big as Noah here there is no way you could have fought him off. I am not disappointed in you. It has only been 24 hours since it happened and you are not locked in your room from us. You are tiring to move forward eating and coming out I am so proud of you but do me one favor I know how proud you are but you will need this promise me you will do what I ask." "What daddy?" "Speak to the therapist June found for you." I look around the table, and I can see the pleading in my families eyes I took a deep breath "Yes, I promise every one of you I will go." Lee chuckled "and talk Twin you have to talk. You can't just sit there." I smiled "I promise Lee. I want to get better. I have a funny feeling if I don't go I will continue to have nightmares. I heard you and Noah talking that as long as one of you were in bed with me, I would sleep peacefully, so I need to work on that." My dad pulled me close "Thank you my little Rochelle I thought I was going to have to yank you out of school to get you to take this seriously." We finished our dinner and made our way back to the apartment walking up I see Lewis standing outside the building instantly Brad walks up to him "Look Shellybellie said she is not ready to see you. This is your fault it was your f*****g friend that did this to her." I walked up and yanked Brad back and stared at him "Young man watch your mouth. I did not raise you to talk to your elders like that do you understand." "True but Shellybellie we told him you would call when you're ready." "I understand Bradlybear, but you do not need to behave this way." "Yeah, little man let Lee, and I handle this ok. You take Shells up to the apartment and why don't you sleep with her tonight I know that is what you want."

"Look Lewis it is nothing against you but right now is not a good time." "Damn it she is my f*****g girlfriend, not yours." Lee pushed in front of me since people were staring "Your right you are her BOYFRIEND, and that is it just her BOYFRIEND I am her BEST FRIEND HER TWIN. My brother and I have been in her life since the day she and I were born. The first person to hold Shelly after Max was Noah hell he held her before he held me that day. You knew this was coming in even though I was pissed hell in many ways still pissed at Noah for hurting her right now he is one of the ones she is letting in and until she heals and asks for you we will not let you near her." "So, I am supposed to let my girl cuddle up with some strange guy." I just glared at him "Are you that stupid that is her little brother Brad whom she helped raise. Let me tell you this if you so much as try to come between the two of them and hurt either one I will hurt you." He just shook his head "I am worried about her I spoke to Tony and he told me what he did, and I can't believe my friend would do that. Plus finding out that she had already been with someone else I need to know when." I run my hand through my hair and groan "look all I can say is that she has not cheated on you and she has not been serious with anyone between either of us. I was her last serious relationship." "What are you saying, Flynn?" "I don't talk about my life period not even to Lee, so that is all I am saying. I walked away, and I could hear Lee behind me "If you haven't figured it out yet then let me tell you this you do not deserve my twin." I could hear Lee behind me as we headed up to the apartment I turn and look at him. "Keep an eye on her and do not let him in unless she says it's ok. I am heading to the gym even though I have my punching bag in my room I don't want to freak Shelly out I need to get some of my anger under control before I end up putting someone in the hospital or putting myself in jail." "Ok, but remember what Shells always says." "Yeah, to breath I remember. Lee what am I going to do I feel so lost without her and seeing her like this I hate myself this is my fault this is all my fault...
