“I won’t. Go to Aleks for me, okay?” Harris said as he handed me into Aleks waiting arms, then ripped the door open angrily.
“What happened, malenka? What did Kyle do?” Aleks asked as he wrapped me in his arms.
“Back the fuck up!” Harris barked as he disappeared out of the door.
“Where’s Evie? I need to speak to her,” Kyle demanded.
“She’s asked me not to let you in, so you’re not seeing her right now,” Harris told him.
“Fuck you! You can’t stop me seeing my own sister in my damned house!” Kyle snapped. There was a loud thud, that I knew was one of them being hit, but I just didn’t have the strength to move. The images I had seen on that screen were playing in my head along with the question I couldn’t stop asking – how did Kyle get that and why would he watch it? Why would he do that to me?
“What’s going on?” I heard Nick ask. “Where’s Evie?”
“With Aleks. This fucker did something and she doesn’t want him near her.” Harris answered.
“Kyle!” I heard Livy next, then my mom and dad were there, closely followed by my other brothers, except Xander of course. Just my luck the level headed brother wasn’t there when I needed him. “What happened?” Livy cried, and I was guessing by how upset she was, that Kyle was the one who got hit.
“I need to talk to Evie and this psycho won’t let me near her!” Kyle snapped.
“Let’s just all take a breath,” my mom cried. “What’s going on?”
“Evie’s really upset and she didn’t want to see Kyle. He wouldn’t take no for an answer,” Harris explained.
“What did you do now?” Livy asked, all of her concern now anger.
“Nothing really,” Kyle hedged, and I’d heard enough. I turned and headed for the door, Aleks moving with me and never letting me out of his arms.
“Evie?” my dad gasped when he saw me. I didn’t blame him. I was visibly shaking and the tears hadn’t stopped falling.
“Tell them,” I demanded as I looked to my brother who was rubbing at his jaw.
“Evie,” he tried in a gentler tone, but my tears only fell harder as I shook my head.
“How c-could you, Kyle? How could you w-watch that?” I squeaked, the words barely coming out, my throat felt so tight. My guys moved in, surrounding me.
“Kyle. What the fuck is she talking about?” Cole growled as he looked between us.
“She wasn’t supposed to see it. I just…I need to know,” Kyle tried to explain.
“See what, son? Start damn well talking!” Dad barked.
“It was left for me at the office, a disk with my name on it. I didn’t know what it was at first. I put it in my laptop and I realized it was from that fucker. It was footage of Evie…of what he…”
“Please tell me you didn’t Kyle,” Livy cried.
“I knew I couldn’t play it at the office, but I needed to know. I need to know what he did to her while we all sat back and failed her!” Kyle snapped.
“H-he w-was watching it…in the office. I…I was being tortured and h-he was watching it!” I cried.
“How could you, Kyle?” Mom yelled angrily.
“I had to know. It was my fault! I should have taken better care of her! I should have protected her!” Kyle yelled right back.
I turned and looked to Harris through my tears. “I…I can’t stay here. C-can you call Asher? I can’t b-be here right now,” I told him as calmly as I could.
“Evie. I know Kyle’s being a complete idiot right now, but he didn’t do it to hurt you,” Matt spoke up.
“You don’t need to leave, little bit. You’re safest here,” Cole added.
