"I should go." She speaks breaking the silence
"No."
She giggles
"Brandon,I have to."
After so much effort and bribing she manages to convince me to let her go.
"Arghhh finally!" Sam groans
"Thank fuck!" Jonathan adds
"We still have him?" Xander grins and i smack him upside the head.
"You leaving ?" Naomi asks Kim.
I frown completely surprised, everyone else seems too.
"Yeah.." she trails off "why?"
"I uh, I was hoping I could talk to you."
"Why?" She asks slowly
"Can we do it in private? It's very important."
"What the fuck is it about Nao?"
I cut in. Kim squeezes my hand afraid i might scare her and she won't tell,
"If it's important then I should hear her out." She whispers
I look at Naomi suspiciously
Kim's phone rings and mom flashes on the screen. She picks up
"Hey honey, Killian is coming over tonight and I'll be running abit late,is it okay if you make something for him and your uncle Luca?"
I can hear her mother from the other side because of how close I'm standing to her
"Yeah,of course I can mom. See you soon." She cuts the call
"Naomi, we can talk about it later. I'll find you tomorrow at school?"
"It has to be now." She panics
"What the fuck is this about Naomi?"
My patience starts to run out. She looks at me with wide eyes.
Kim grabs my wrist and shakes her head
"We'll talk Naomi." She says. I start to walk but she stops me
"It's okay, I have my car with me."
"No. I'll take you."
"What about mine?"
"It's safe here baby, besides I'm driving you the whole week." I pull her by the neck kissing her
The clearing of a throat has us pulling away, I catch a small smile on Naomi's lips,it vanishes as fast as it appeared but I saw it. What the hell is she planning?
I rush back to grab my car keys upstairs.
Where the fuck did I put them, I look around. After about four minutes I find them in Xander's shoes. Fucking idiot,he drove us last night.
I reach the lounge room only to find Kim's not there, I look around and my heartbeat goes back to normal when I see Naomi seated.
"Where's she?"
"She went outside to grab something from her car but it's taking longer than necessary." Sam frowns.
"You let her go alone?" I growl at everyone
"She insisted it was going to be quick man." Jonathan says
My whole body tenses. No. My blood runs cold.
"What's wrong man?"
Xander stands slowly, I look at him robotically and blood drains from face
"No! That's not true!!!" Kim shouts from outside.
"Shit." Xan curses
KIMBERLY
Brandon disappears upstairs.
"Oh shoot. I need to get my purse from the car."
"I'll come with you." Lenny goes to stand but I stop him
"No,it's okay I'll be quick." I rush out of the house.
I'm almost at my car when a shiver runs through me. I brush it off and start walking again, the feeling of being watched has me whipping around so fast. I look around but there's nobody there, I walk fast to my car and the moment I'm within reach Andrew appears from behind Bran's car startling me
He's wearing all black clothes and his shoes are black too, he removes the hoodie from his head
"What are you doing here? How'd you get in?"
"Shhhh baby doll, I'm part of the football team remember?"
"Get away from me Andrew."
"Now why would I do that? I'm here for you after all."
"I didn't ask you to, if you don't want to leave fine,I'll go."
I start to walk back to the house when he grabs my arm flinging me backwards with so much force, I wince trying to pull my arm from his brutal hold
"Let go of me Andrew!" I say, my face twisting in pain
"I'm here to help you the fuck out baby doll, so stop acting like a brat."
"I don't need your help." I stomp on his shoe and he groans,
He roughly shakes me
"Stay the fuck still."
I don't, I fight him with all my strength. I manage to elbow him on the nose and he groans in pain, holding it with his hand
The moment I'm loose I turn and start walking fast towards the house
"The stalker." He says loud enough for me to hear. I halt, my heart starts thumping fast.
"I know who's been stalking you."
"What?" I turn around slowly
"How did you know about that?" I frown, "was it.."
"No. It wasn't me."
He walks to me and I don't run.
"I happened to stumble on information by mistake, I couldn't just let anyone play with my doll."
"I'm not your doll Andrew."
"Oh but you are. Do you want to know who it is? It's someone very close to you." He smirks
My heart feels like it'll jump out of my chest any moment
"You're lying. You're lying to me." I shake my head
"Why would I? But I'll tell you anyway."
"Go away, just leave me alone. Stop harassing me."
I'm about to turn around when he says
"Brandon."
Silence.
More silence.
I look at him
"What?" I ask confused
"It's Brandon. He's been playing you Kim."
My legs go weak, no.
"It can't be,you're trying to manipulate me." I shake my head
"I'm not baby doll." he steps into my personal space
"Your stalker, is Brandon."
My heart beats fast to the point it starts to hurt. I place a hand on my chest
"It's always been him."
"No! You're lying!!!" I yell so loud
"It's true, see for yourself."
He holds out an envelope and points it to me.
I shake my head, he's wrong,he wants to manipulate me.
He grabs my wrist and places the envelope in my hand, I stare at it,a teardrop landing on the brown paper, then another one.
I open it with shaky fingers and trembling lips.
What I find has me shaking,my knees go weak.
Pictures. Lots of pictures.
My heart stops beating, a whooshing sound fills my ears.
Brandon.
It's been him all this time. I look through the pictures.
In one, his phone is held up and I'm standing in a floral dress,the night I had dinner with Ronan and Mom,the same night I received a text from the unknown number.
In the other I'm seated in my car with my eyes closed and Brandon's figure is captured halfway, he was watching me.
The last one has me gasping for air with tears running down my cheeks making my vision blurry.
The picture was taken from a distance, I'm standing on my side with my hand between my legs and my head thrown back,lips parted.
Brandon stands between trees,his hand wrapped around his dick and head lifted upwards. He was masterbating at my nakedness.
That night. That night.
My hands shake uncontrollably and I drop the envelope and pictures to the ground whimpering.
"Kim." I hear someone say my name but I can't think straight, my heart hurts so bad, I can hear it crack and the pieces shattering.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Xan asks Andrew
"I'm part of the team."
"No. Not anymore,you're out."
"What the fuck did you do to her?" Brandon growls.
"I told her the truth." Andrew says
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Bran steps closer
"She knows Brandon, it's over."
"What's going on?" Sam asks confused
"Hey.." Brandon tries to touch me and I move away, turning to face him. He frowns
"Why are you crying? Did he-"
"Yes." I cut him off "I know the truth, how could you do this to me? I gave myself to you, I trusted you."
Tears keep rolling down my cheeks
"What are you talking about?"
He's still pretending?
"I shouldn't have trusted you."
"Kim.." he tries to touch me and I slap his hand away
"No! Don't touch me! How could you Brandon? How could you do this to me?" I yell
"How could you stalk me,frighten me and traumatize me like that?!"
His expression switches from confused to realization. What? So..
"Why did you do it?! Why?!" I sob placing a hand on my aching chest.
"Baby.." he tries to touch me again
"Baby?" I startle at Ronan's voice.
"What's going on here? Why's he calling you baby." He asks confused
"Ronan.." I whisper
