Seth, A History–4
I interrupted Seth. “What the hell do you want from me, Seth? You’re the one that said you couldn’t do this and started packing
much
His jaw clenched and he licked his lips as I watched him through the rearview mirror. “It was too n
You said that and I get it
A slam sounded in the car, making me jump. “You don’t get it, Cassie I know you’ve lost people in your life, but my sister wasn just my sister. She was my mother, my friend, the person I went to when my brothers or father forced me to watch them torture same poor schmuck who overextended himself. Or when they decided it was time for me to be a man how they took a trafficked girl and put her in my room–damn, my father stood and watched until it was finished. The sad thing is I’m positive that’s how it happened for all my other brothers too. So, when I tell you that you have no clue, I mean it.”
Ethan’s eyes lifted to mine and the shock there let me know that Sets hadn’t been so forthcoming with Ethan either. Ethan ge of the cat and opened the back door to take a seat by Seth. He didn’t touch him right away. Ethan’s hand rubbed at his thighs like
got out he was drying clammy hands–off before he turned his whole body towards Seth.
“Y–you told me you lost your virginity when you were eleven to one of your many girlfriends, Ethan whispered.
The tears welling in my eyes pooled down my cheeks.

And then, without warning him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him the tightest side hug I could. I felt Ethan’s hand bump into my stomach as he wrapped his arms around Seth’s waist took twenty minutes for Seth to finally relax enough to settle into the hugs and when he spoke again there was a notable tremor to his voice.
I didn’t want to tell you any of that. I didn’t want either of you to look at me differently,” he whispered. “I just–my sister cried with me for days after that. We didn’t talk, she didn’t touch me–I think if she had I would ve vomited all over her–but she stayed in my room for a week. We never left. Father had left on a business trip so no one bothered us. The maid brought us food, but I couldn’t eat. Into the second week, the started talking to me about Hunter and then it was Simon, Max, all the way up to Grant, whos the eldest. The same thing. She’d been there for all of them except Grant–she’d only be one when it had happened to him- but she was just a girl herself ”
