How The Fire Burns

"He WHAT?!" I yelled. But he...a-and Alex...and d-date.....a-and.... He's DEAD! "I'll kill him. Where is he?"

"I don't know." Max -who was still fuming- said.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"It was a private number."

We heard the door open. The aroma of vanilla filled my nose so I knew it was Alex. She walked upstairs and shut her door.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow." I said quietly before heading up to my room.

APOV

I headed up to my room when I got home. I was so tired. My date was perfect. I closed my door and changed into a tank top and sweats. I slipped under my covers and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep. My dream was strange.

I was at Riley's house in his room. I was looking at his trophies. He was so athletic. I was so proud of him. He was the perfect boyfriend. He didn't drink, he had virgin lungs, and he treated me like a princess. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice him lock his door with the key. He came up and hugged me from behind. As a reaction I leaned into him. I noticed a new trophy. It was a bowling one. I remembered him telling me he had a tournament that weekend.

"That's a new one?" I asked, pointing at it.

"Yup." he said before he started kissing my neck. I giggled and turned so I was facing him. I kissed him softly. It' started out innocent but it turned into more and then he was on top of me on his bed. I knew what he was trying to do but I wasn't ready. He would understand.

"Riley, you know I'm not ready." I said as I tried to get up. When I did I told him I would see him later. I went to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't open. I turned and came face-to-face with him.

"That's cruel Alex. You keep teasing the lion and soon he'll grow tired of playing games." he said before grabbing my wrists and throwing me on his bed. He got on top of me again. Then all I remember was him thrusting and me feeling like someone was stabbing me over and over.

I woke up screaming.

JPOV

I woke up to the sound of Alex screaming. I ran out of my room at the same time Max ran out of his. We looked at each other briefly before running to Alex's room. I opened the the door and she was curled into the fetal position in the corner of her room. She was rocking back and forth and breathing heavily. I walked up to her and picked her up. I took her back to the bed. I sat down with her in my lap. She was shaking and crying and holding onto me like her life depended on it. Max was sitting on the bed as well and rubbing her knee in a soothing way.

"Shh Alex....It's okay...Shh... What's wrong?" Max said.

"N-nothing." she stuttered.

"Bullshit. What's wrong?" I said.

"I had a bad dream. About.....Riley....something happened....and, and.....I'm so sorry guys!" she said before she broke into sobs.

"We know." I said.

"W-what?" she managed, looking at us with red puffy eyes.

"Riley called while you were with Warren."

"Warren...Warren can't know. He'll kill him." Alex said, suddenly panicked.

"It's what he deserves." I muttered.

"Oh, I don't care about him. If Warren kills him then he'll go to jail. He won't be able to live that down and people will say he's just like his father." She explained.

"Well, how come you didn't tell us?" Max asked.

"Same reason. And he threatened me."

"Well he would've been in jail." Max reasoned.

"Yea, maximum seven years."

"I'm so sorry Alex." I said. I could've protected her. I could've warned her had I known.

"It's not your fault guys." she stifled a yawn.

"You should get to bed." I said.

"Will you guys sleep here tonight?" she asked. I couldn't deny her.

"Course we will." I said. We got into her bed and got comfortable.

"Night guys. You're the best brothers I could ever wish for."

"Night Alex." we said at the same time. Soon we were all asleep.
