Part Six:
Lori and Sean remained "friends with benefits" for awhile. They didn't make
out as heavily as they had before, and the "friends" outweighed the "benefits",
to Lori's disapointment.
One day, when Angie was playing at a friend's house again, she invited him over.
She hadn't done that since she'd told him about...
When he came over, he just wanted to watch TV. But Lori clicked it off. "Sean,"
she said. "I think I'm ready to go a little further..."
"Are you sure?" Sean said, hoping it was true. Lori nodded, took his hand,
and led him up to her room. She never thought she'd be doing this...but Sean
won't hurt me, she thought.
"If you don't want to, just let me know..." Sean said carefully. Lori put a
finger to his lips and turned on her new stereo.
Before they knew it, Sean was on top of Lori, kissing and fondling her. They
didn't go too far: neither of them was ready for sex, and they didn't even
get to "third base". Maybe they would've...
If Craig didn't walk in on them.
"What the fuck?" he demanded. Sean stood up quickly. He'd hand his hand up
Lori's shirt. Lori pulled her shirt down and saw Craig pull Sean off. "Get the
fuck out, man," he screamed, shoving Sean out the door. He slammed the door shut
and turned on Lori. "What the hell were you thinking?!"
"Craig, what the hell are you doing here?" she demanded. He was supposed to be
at work!
"What the fuck does that matter? You're in here, letting Sean feel you up..."
Craig was fuming. What if he hadn't have showed up? What would he have done to
her?
"Craig, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself."
"And you were doing this while you're supposed to be watching my little sister!
Where is she?" Craig opened the door. "Ang? Angela!"
"Craig, shut up. She's at the neighbor's."
Craig turned around and started yelling at her again. "I can't believe you!
As soon as you're alone in the house, you start-"
"Craig, shut the fuck up!" Lori yelled.
Craig sat down, and put his head in his hands. Lori felt bad for yelling. He's
just concerned about me, she thought.
"Craig," she said softly, "It's okay. I told him. He knows."
Craig looked at her. "Knows what?"
Oh, shit! "Joey never told you?" Craig shook his head, and Lori sighed. "Well,
it's nothing..."
"Lori, tell me. What's going on? What do Joey and Sean know?"
Lori sighed. "Look, you wouldn't understand, you've never had any problems like
this..."
"Lori, my dad used to beat me up. I know problems. You can trust me..."
"Okay," Lori said. She took a deep breath. "My mom had a drug problem, right?
Well, she and her boyfriend would do drugs every night. Usually my mom did
enough to pass out, but...he sometimes didn't. And when my mom was knocked out...
he would come into my room and rape me."
"What?"
Lori nodded. Oh, God, the tears again. "He did it to me ever since he and my
mom began seeing each other. I tried to tell her, but she didn't even care, Craig.
My own mother."
"Lori, I'm..." but Craig, like Sean, was lost for words. He hugged her, like
Sean had done.
Lori smiled at him. "I thought you knew, and that's why you didn't want me to
see Sean."
Craig sighed. "Lori, I don't want you to see Sean because..." Why didn't he want
her to see Sean. It's not that I'm jealous or anything...am I?
Lori didn't ask him to continue his explaination. Had she guessed? No, that's
insane. I'm with Ashley now. I like Ashley, a lot. Why should I be jealous of
Lori and Sean? Lori's practically my sister!
But the more Craig tried to reassure himself, the more he knew that he was
lying to himself.
