Things were a lot worse than I first imagined and it gave me a whole new perspective. Alice never told me any of this. She mentioned she had a hard time connecting with the opposite sex because she was date raped, and even though she couldn’t remember the act itself, she remembered waking up in a bed, with the worst hangover of her life, frightened, with her legs dirty with blood and something else, she later found out to be semen, in her parent’s apartment in London. She didn’t even remember how she ended up there.
Like he guessed, Alice must have heard our voices, because soon after we heard footsteps in the corridor. Without warning Edward launched himself under the covers, disposing his T-shirt on the ground.
“What are you…” and the question lingered in the air as he kissed me again, catching me out of guard.
“Bella, I heard noises. Are you having another nightmare?” Alice said as she entered and switched on the light.
She was caught off guard with what she saw, her brother half naked in my bed, my hair all disheveled, my lips still swollen from his previous kiss… my cheeks turned red immediately at the thought. Obviously that last sympathetic reaction completed the picture.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t know…” and with that she turned to leave.
“Alice, this is not what it looks like,” but the door was already closing behind her.
So chapter 20 is ready and is currently awaiting my beta's green light to be posted. As you can see, a lot will happen in this chapter. We're approaching the final stage of this story, I'm not sure how many chapters are left, but I definitely won't go over 30.
Take care,
Nofrure.
