Carlos threw his bags in the back of the trunk, slamming it shut when he saw Selena running out to him in his peripheral vision. He whirled around, glaring at the girl who was once his best friend. Let alone his sister.
Sorry? Sorry? Carlos hissed, his anger making Selena flinch. For what? Sleeping with James? Or letting me catch you? His demand was merciless, and Selena felt his heart ache with pain. He never wanted this to happen. Never.
"You dont understand Carlos!" Selena tried to pull her older brother's wrist, begging for him to listen to her.
"Yes, i do. You'd rather sleep with my best friend than act like a civilized girl!"
"Carlos-"
"No Selena. It was your decision to do what you did even when i told you all the stuff about him, and on top of that you...-"
"Im what?" The girl strongly crossed her arms against her chest; ready to defend herself from the insult that was about to leave her brother's lips.
Carlos gulped, he looked at his sister; he didnt wanna hurt her but he had to tell her. The stripping industry made her look like a slut. Its a sad thing to say, cause he knew she thought he didnt have any other option, but she did.
"A..." he hesitated before looking at the ground whispering the word. "Slut."
Selena's eyes widened as tears fell from her brim eyes. "Well," she started looking him straight in the eyes as the tears fell. "If im such a slut then why dont you go and run to your hoe of a girlfriend!" Anger crept inside of her. Pointing her fingers towards his car, she tried her best to stop the tears.
"She's not a hoe!" Carlos defended her.
Selena shook her head, a "are you serious" disgusted smile crept her face. "Are you kidding me?"
She sniffled wiping her tears away she felt someone's precense behind her. She knew it was James, and she didnt turn around.
Carlos ignored his best friend, looking at Selena. "I better just leave,"
"Yeah. You should." Selena looked at the ground, hearing each step Carlos made as he entered his hummer. Starting the engine, and driving away.
"Selena. . . ." James voice echoed behind her. She turned around automatically jumping into his arms. Hugging him.
His arms wrapped around her body, cradeling her as he rocked her back and forth in his arms.
"Its okay," he whispered in his ear.
"It's okay."
