you take some Motrin for it?”
“ No,” I reply. “Not yet,”
“ I’ll go get you some,” She said. Not hesitating to go and get it.
Mom came back about five minutes later and handed me orange juice
And the Motrin, I couldn’t take water with any medicine, it would
make me gag if I did.
“ Thanks,” I say, Taking it quickly.
“ Get to bed baby girl, it’s late, don’t you have class tomorrow?”
“ Online,”
“ Well still,” She said. She kissed the top of my head. “Get some sleep,”
I nodded and watched mom head up the stairs. She must have forgot
what she had come down for in the first place when she saw me sitting
her. I shrug, then I open my computer back up.

I feel asleep on the couch, and woke up to the front door being shut.
I wake up and look out the window, I see that Michael has taken his
car and left.
It hurt to know that he wasn’t fighting for me like I would hope, after
all this maybe the best choice for the both of us, I can go my way and
he can go his way, the secret affair we had with one and other remain
in a secret between us and we can live like normal brother and sister.
Then again, who knows what could happen in the future, our parents
Could get divorced, and we could finally be together?
Wishful thinking, mom was too happy to get divorced any time soon.
I yawned and stretched out my muscles after looking out the window,
And grabbed my laptop heading up to my room instead.

As hours had passed I had a productive day of home work and
searching for a graduate college, the sun was settling down, as Michael
had come back, I heard his car door shut, and saw Mom and Gary
leaving again, it was date night for them.
“Well be back in a few hours, don't wait up,” Gary said to Michael. Michael just nodded then headed inside the house.
I heard the front door shut, and his foot steps coming up the stairs. I
watched mom and Gary leave not even five minutes later.
As the pulled out of the drive way and drove off, Michael opened up
my door, and before I could speak, he kissed me roughly on the lips
and hovered over me, laying me under him, I moaned softly. I could
smell alcohol coming from him, as he started to take off my shirt.
I let him.
Why? Because he was angry, and I wasn't one to fight with him when
he was angry. My shirt fell onto the floor as he started to kiss my neck,
I tilted my head back and closed my eyes.
“I need you right now Grace,”
He said in between kisses.
I didn't know if that was the real him talking, or if it was the drunk
him talking.
“Are you drunk?” I asked. As he pinned my hands over my head.
“If I was I wouldn't have been able to drive home,” He said. I felt him
nip at my neck slightly, it made me jump a little.
His lips trailed from my neck to my chest, and I couldn't help but let
out a small gasp.
Chapter Fourteen:
Mom and Gary were soon home, and Michael was already in his
room by the time they got home. We had made love together, and
there was something about this time, that made me feel uneasy.
__
As weeks had gone by Michael had been distant, he told mom and
Gary that he had signed up for the army, and was leaving for boot
camp soon. My heart sank, and I felt like my world was falling apart
maybe it was for the better that he did leave, because then I wouldn't
be tempted by him.
“Are you sure you want to do this son?” Gary asked him. Placing a
hand on his shoulder,”
“Yes,” Michael replied. I could see the hurt on Gary's face, but also
how proud he was of Michael, for wanting to fight for his country.
“I need too,” Michael added.
“If your sure, then
