My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 14

Dylan's POV:

Its been almost a month since that dickhead raped my sister. I swear I didn't let him go with it and there's still more revenge to come. I got suspended for three days about 2 weeks ago because I got into a huge fight with Bryan that caused him to attend the hospital.

Thats what he gets when he treats a girl this way.

Luna didn't leave for school for 3 weeks in a row, which I don't blame her for at all. She only attended this week and she haven't spoke with anyone apart from me, Emilio and Kait. She avoided everyone and some times skipped classes just to be alone.

She's getting better everyday, which is really relieving because I can't stand the fact that my own positive and happy sister is going through all of this.

Whenever she's with Emilio, I feel like she's always emotionally improving. I'm really surprised that her and Emilio are getting along so well after 6 years of teasing and annoying each other. They're kinda like best friends now, but I don't want them to be anything more.

Today is a Friday, meaning that Emilio will be coming over to stay the night and spend some time with us. We already arrived and Emilio will be here like at 6 pm or something.

Luna and I step into the house and Luna goes straight to her room, not saying a word. It has been like that ever since..yea that happened. Mom is barely home, she's always either at 'work' or getting drunk somewhere. I bet she even knows what's going on right now.

"Dylan can you come here for a minute, please?" Luna calls out from upstairs. "Yea be there in a second." I say. I put my stuff down and run upstairs immediately. I walk into her room to see her just sitting down beside the window with her knees up and her head resting on them, looking outside.

"Is everything alright, Lulu?" I ask. She looks at me then walks over to me. "I need you to stay with me for a while," She said. "Mom isn't here to comfort me like she used to do."

I looked at her and smiled. My heart sank a little at the end of her statement. Mom always comforted both of us no matter what, but now she's nothing like she used to be when Dad was here. Nothing.

"I'll stay with you for as long as you want, but is everything okay?" I ask. "It's just different," She replies. "What is?" I ask. "Everything. Mom, school, people I thought were my friends, my life in general. And I'm really in a desperate need of comfort right now."

"I'm here." I say smiling, she hugs me tightly. This is the closest I've ever been to my sister, and I'm glad that she chose me to be with her in this position.

We sat together in her room and talked amongst ourselves. Soon enough, Luna had fallen asleep with her head on my shoulder. She was all snuggled up in a ball beside me. I slowly put her in a more comfortable position on her bed and cover her with a blanket. I plant a kiss on her forehead before leaving downstairs.

Luna's POV:

He kept on throwing anything he could find in my direction. His goal: hurt me. His tall figure standing in front of me, blocking my vision. I was crying, gaspig for air. He held me from my arms tightly making me wince in pain.

"You're a useless piece of shit, you know that?" He said.

"I'm sorry.." I said.

"You're just a waste of space, a disgusting excuse of a human."

"I never did anything to hurt you.."

He slapped me.

"Lies." He said.

I start to see black dots then my eyes were wide open. It was a dream..based on a true event.

Oh you actually thought I always had a normal life? Wrong.

This is Adam, my ex boyfriend. A boy I truly loved, I thought he loved me as much as I did. A boy I cared for endlessly, I thought he cared for me as much as I did. A boy I always dreamed of having a furture with, he tore all my dreams apart. He shattered my heart with all the ruthless things he had done. You might think that its pathetic to still think of someone even after two years, but right now it isnt.

Adam and I were friends in 6th grade, but we started dating in 9th grade- when we were 14. It was my first actual love. I loved him and he loved me, or at least I thought he did. I gave him my all, he was my everything. I kept forgiving him for anything wrong he did..until I've had it.

I sat there remembering everything that happened that night, when everything changed. I got up and looked at my clock, it was 5:33 pm. I walked out of my room and went downstairs to the kitchen. I entered and saw Emilio and Dylan there having their meals.

"Hey Lulu, got a good sleep?" Dylan asked. I nodded in response and sat beside him on the table, opposite of Emilio.

In the past month, my feelings for Emilio grew stronger. He was there for me every single day, and I never noticed until the day he comforted me after I got..raped. I actually never realized he cared for me, even when we used to tease each other a lot. Emilio is just.. I don't know how to phrase it, but he's great. He will make sure to keep his loved ones happy and will never ever differentiate between anyone. I won't exactly call him a life changer, but he sure will change some important things in your life.

I just sat down and drowned in my thoughts. Staring blankly at nothing.

"Luna?" I heard someone calling my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Aren't you hungry?" Emilio asked. I shook my head. "Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" He asked again. "No, thanks." I say.

I got up and went to the living room then sat down on one of the couches. I scrolled through my phone when a a knock on the door interrupted me doing absolutely nothing. I got up and walked towards the door.

I opened it and saw Mom. She was on the phone and literally just pushed me aside and stepped into the house.

I sigh in disbelief then go back and sit down on the couch.

"Why do you look like that?" Mom asked after she finished her phone call. She motioned her hands towards my messy looking self wearing sweat pants and an oversized sweater, with my frizzy hair down.

"What is wrong with how I look like?" I ask. "Your face looks tired," She said. "It's been like that for the past month, but you obviously wont notice since you've been drunk everyday." I point out.

"Why are you talking like that?" She says and her tone sounded irritated. "You have no idea what's going on, don't you?" I said. She just walked away, up to her room.

Carelessly.
