Forbidden Love

"Where are you going?!" A voice yelled from behind me. I turned around to see Adam standing there with a beer bottle in his hand. 

"I...um I was just...I'm...the store?" I stuttered looking down at the ground. 

"Why the fuck are you going to the store?!" He yelled throwing the bottle on the ground. I flinched as I looked around. "And look me in the eyes!" He commanded. I heard his heavy steps as his boots hit the floor. Suddenly, he was right in front of me.

"I...I um...uh...I was just...I need stuff?" I tried to be confident, but I couldn't find any of my confidence around Adam. It was like he was a mosquito, but instead of sucking out my blood, he sucked out my confidence.

"What the fuck do you need?! And didn't I just tell you to fucking look me in the eyes!" He yelled slapping me. My head turned to the side and my hands automatically raised to my cheek.

"I'm sorry Adam," I whispered finally looking up at him. He smirked and cupped my cheek.

"You're so beautiful. Too bad that you're such a whore that it doesn't matter." He commented before slamming his lips on mine. I tried to pull away put he pinched my side making me stay in place. He pulled away before ripping my top off of me. "You should know better than to try and move away." He slammed his lips on mine once again before pulling down my skirt. 

"Stop." I tried to yell against his lips as tears rolled down my face. 

I jumped up as I woke up. With the dream still fresh in my mind I let out a sob, but then covered my mouth with my hand. I was still on the floor, seeing as I had fallen asleep after Cody and Conner left. 

I slowly got up off the floor and opened the door. To my surprise, Conner was asleep in front of it, making me trip over him. I accidentally landed on top of him making him wake up. 

"Erika?" His voice was deep and husky with sleep making the insides of my stomach tingle. "Are you crying?" He was suddenly alert as he sat me up and grabbed my face. "What's wrong?" He asked. I couldn't take it any longer. I lunged forward and wrapped him in a hug. I obviously took him by surprise, but it didn't take him long before he was hugging me back.

Suddenly, the door across the hall opened and Cody stormed out on his phone. He hadn't noticed us yet as he was too busy yelling at someone on the phone.

"I don't care what you say, Asher! Do you realize how big of a deal this is! God! Go screw yourself!" He yelled before slamming his door behind him. He turned around and finally noticed us. Seeing us hugging obviously didn't help his mood. If anything, it made him even madder. "What the hell?! I thought you said nothing is going on between you two!" He yelled. I flinched making him furrow his eyebrows.

"There isn't anything going on. I fell asleep waiting for her to open the door and I woke up by her tripping over me. Is everything okay?" Conner explained. I closed my eyes and leaned against his chest as I waited for Cody to answer.

"Everything is fine." He replied coldly before stomping down the stairs. I heard him tell our parents something before the front door opened and closed. I took a deep breath before opening my eyes and standing up. Conner looked up and me and cocked his head to the side.

"What happened?" He questioned. I ignored him and instead walked down the stairs. Jane and my parents were in the living room watching tv so I joined them. I heard Conner go inside a room, but I didn't really think anything of it. I just wanted the pain to be gone.
