Hope
Uni was finally over and I for one couldn't wait, Scar was picking me up. I couldn't wait to be as far away from this place as possible and I couldn't wait to get away from Josh. He'd made my life a living hell for the past three years. He'd blackmailed me into a relationship I never wanted. Every time I tried to break free from his clutches he'd remind me that he'd make sure that Scar would leave me after he would insinuate that I came on to him and made him promise that he wouldn't tell Scar of my insest which was complete bull shit, but he'd made sure I wasn't going anywhere.
I'd packed everything and was waiting outside of the flat me and Josh were sharing something I had no choice in. Our parents had insisted upon it "to bond" like hell I was bonding with him. I honestly thought he had changed, but I was wrong. He'd gone from bullying to downright blackmail. I had struggled through these last three years with my studies because I had to share another space with him, one I couldn't get out of even if I tried.
I couldn't tell my mom what was really going on. I doubt she would believe me anyway cause she was so on love with his father she'd believe what his worthless ass said even if it came out of his ass.
Scar pulled up and got out of the jeep. I smiled. I'd missed him so much we hadn't spent that long considering I was with him at the end of every year for three months. It wasn't enough.
I was reluctant to come back to uni and continue with my studies with what was going on around me. I had tried to apply for other universities but got declined because I was already halfway through my course.
Scar knew there was something wrong but I chose not to say a word. I was too scared that he wouldn't believe me.
Scar took my bags off me and put them into the boot of the jeep Joshua walked around the corner shit the shot was about to hit the fan.
"Hope I thought we were going home together?"
"No. I decided to go straight to camp and get settled before I have to start training. Before all the kids get there."
"You promised Hope. You promised you'd return home me so we could see our parents and have time with them before you left, what the hell Hope?"
"I'm sorry Josh, I have to do this."
"No you don't, we agreed Hope."
"You can go alone. I need to do this Josh, for me."
"You're so fucking selfish Hope. You always think of yourself, what about our parents? They were looking forward to seeing us both."
"They already know Josh. I already talked to mom. She's okay with it. She's more happy about it than you are."
"I thought I meant something to you Hope."
"You're my brother Josh of course you mean something to me."
"I don't mean that Hope."
"What exactly do you mean?" Scar asked, as he jumped and slammed the boot down.
Oh shit.
"Are you going to tell him I'm or am I?"
"Please don't do this Josh."
"Tell me what?"
"Me and Hope we've been screwing for the past three years."
"WHAT!?"
I cringed, tears forming in my eyes trickling down my face. I can't believe he told him.
"I said we've been fucking for the past three years are you fucking deaf or just plain fucking stupid that you couldn't tell your girlfriend was cheating on you!"
His fists bailed. His face angered as he looked at me. '"Is this prick telling the truth Hope?"
I stood silently crying. I couldn't believe he'd come out with it. How low could he possibly go to make my life more miserable than it already is?
"Answer me god dammit! Is it true Hope?"
"He blackmailed me."
His fist was that fast neither of us saw it coming. Josh fell to the ground.
"Get in the fucking car Hope."
I quickly scrambled into the jeep close end and locked the door. His fists crashed down on Josh over and over again, his face bloody, his nose broken yet Scar kept going until he was left unconscious. He walked away. Getting in the jeep he slammed the door shut.
"Belt." He said, angrily.
She slipped the belt on. He wheel spun away. "What the hell Hope, why the fuck didn't you ever tell me?"
"I was scared."
"Did camp teach you nothing?"
"Yes."
"Then what th fuck hapepend Hope? You've gone into the girl I first met. Pathetic."
She slumped in the chair crying.
"You needed to start talking. Or god fucking help me."
She sat shaking; she'd never been scared of him till now. His hands were braised around the steering wheel white he smashed his fists on the wheel.
She jumped.
"What the fuck were you thinking Hope? He's your fucking brother. Not by blood but he's still your fucking brother."
"I.."
"Save it!" He snapped.
She sank further into the seat crying.
"And stop fucking crying it shows weakness. You pathetic whore."
Six months later.
Caleb looked angrily at Joshua. He'd returned from university to see Hope and hopefully rekindle their relationship to find she was no longer there and neither was Josh until now what the fuck was going on he needed answers.
He'd finally found Josh alone smoking on the big rock in the quietest side of the park where he used to go when they were kids, to think. He walked up to him startling him as he spoke. "Where the hell is Hope?"
"At that boot camp I guess." He replied, not even taking a second glance at Caleb who was now in front of him glaring angrily at his best friend.
"What you mean? you guess, she either is or she isn't?"
"I don't know she probably is. She took off with Scar."
"And you let her?" His anger grew.
"I already told you I don't fucking know. I've been in a fucking coma!"
"What the fuck did you do?"
"Scar put me there."
"Why?"
"Cause I blackmailed Hope, that's why."
"You did what?"
"I blackmailed her."
"Why the fuck would you do that?"
"Cause I wanted to have her it was the only way."
"So you bullied her again, what the fuck were you thinking? Obviously you weren't cause she's your fucking sister!"
"She's never been my fucking sister!" Josh screamed.
"And you always fucking pointed that out with your fists and your feet, god I thought you'd let this hatred for her go."
"Was you not listening to what I just told you? Three years I waited, three years to make my move. Something in me changed that day she came back from boot camp, she was so different, more independent, more grown up and she did things to me, I felt things I'd never felt before."
"God you're fucking sick you really are."
"She told Scar what had been happening and he lashed out."
"Serves you right." He paused. "Where the hell is I need to see her."
Josh finally looked up and said. "She's not here, I've called her and she won't answer."
"And I can't blame her. What the fuck were you thinking Josh?"
"I love her."
"Fuck this. This is so fucking messed up. I'm off, I need to see her." He said, walked away getting in his Harley pulling away.
