Chapter 30

Kirsty sat in Seb's room. Seb has sat down in front of the door, blocking it. Kirsty was pacing back and forth. Seb was looking up at her.

"I love you Kirsty, and you know I do. But you still dump me when something better and more exciting comes along"

"You know that's not true Seb. Kane's always been the love of my life. You and me, we're friends. Best friends". Kirsty said. She sat down so she was next to Seb. She wanted him to talk to him, maybe even make her understand her love for Kane. She put a comforting arm on his shoulder but he violently pushed it away. Kirsty was taken aback by the move, she fell backwards hurting her arm in the process. This scared Kirsty. She hadn't prepared for Seb being like this, being violent, the most she'd expected was an argument.

Kirsty picked herself up off the floor, she rubbed her arm, it hurt a lot. She looked at Seb who was unable to make eye contact with her.

"Seb, please just let me out"

"Not until I make you understand"

"Understand what Seb?" Kirsty was getting exasperated.

"Why you should be with me and not him"

Kirsty sighed. She sat on the bed and Seb joined her. He put his arm around her. Usually Kirsty wouldn't mind this but this time it make her shiver. Seb moved her head so she was facing him. He looked her in the eyes with a cold sinister expression. Kirsty tried to move her head away; she couldn't bear looking at her face. But Seb stopped her; he was stroking her face with his hand, something Kane usually did. Difference was, Kane made her shiver with excitement and passion, Seb was making her shiver with fear. Before Kirsty knew what was happening, Seb was kissing her, hard.

Dani stood outside. She and Kane were slowly approaching the house, neither of them saying a word.

She took a deep breath, more to calm her fear and nerves of Kane, than the worry for Kirsty. "Okay, I'm going to climb in through that window." She said finally.

"Cant we just knock on the door first?" Kane didn't want to sound like he was making fun of dani, but didn't want to do anything too rash.

"My sisters in there and from what I've heard, Seb's not in the mood for visitors right now. This way I can get in, no one will know I'm there, and I can go help Kirsty." Dani walked towards the window. It was a little too high for her to climb into; she'd need a boost from Kane. Dani stepped back, was this a good idea? She would have to touch Kane; he'd have to touch her. That was something she knew she couldn't handle. Kane noticed Dani being hesitant. Dani knew that she wouldn't be able to let Kane touch her. But then she looked up at the window. Her sister was in there, she may be hurt, or who knows what else. That was the most important thing now. Whatever Kirsty had done to Dani in the past, they were still sisters and Dani had to do everything she could to help her.

"Are you alright?" Kane asked, worried that Dani was changing her mind.

"Um, the windows too high, I um, I need some help to get up there" Dani closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing.

"Right." Kane knew this was dangerous territory. Should he help? If he did, dani might freak out and then they'd be back to square one, but then Kirsty, his girlfriend, was in there. "So, what should I do?"

"I just need a boost up there," Dani couldn't look Kane in the eye.

Kane slowly walked to dani and she put her hand on his shoulder. Dani bit her lip as she tried to block out all the bad memories of the last time Kane had touched her. He lifted her up and she grabbed the window, scrambling quickly so she could climb in the window. She wanted to get away from Kane as quickly as possible. As she climbed into the house, she brushed the dirt off her jeans. She shut her eyes. It's okay, you did it" she told herself, as a way of comfort. Now she had to find her sister.

Dani walked quietly up the stairs. She could hear muffled words, like people were talking quietly. She stopped; she had to work out what to do. If she burst in, everything might be okay and then she'd look foolish, but if she knocked Seb might do something. She walked the last few steps to Seb's room.. She tried to listen to what was being said. But she couldn't hear clearly enough. Right, she told herself, you have to go in there. Do what you think is right. So Dani burst in, when she opened the door she found Seb on top of Kirsty, they were kissing, but something wasn't right. Kirsty was trying to push Seb off. Was Seb really trying to rape Kirsty?
