Chapter 21JuliaI had been living back in North Carolina for almost a year now. After I finished my degree at Texas, James and I decided that I would move back home to be near each other after. After the year we had, being together was best for us both. I was moving in with him in his condo until I found a job. I had been interviewing in a few different places round North Carolina, it was a pretty big place with 10 large towns and around 700 small ones! There are around 10 million people in this state. Our town was one of the small ones. Less than 5,000 people and that was it. I wasn’t ready to live in a small town yet. I wanted to be in a big city whilst I was young, then when I got married and had kids, then I would move to a small town like Hollingbroke. That was where I was living now with my brother. I had a few job interviews coming up in some of the larger cities here, Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh,

Chapter 23Buzz“Julia? What the fuck are you doing here?” I demanded.“James is my brother… Why are you here?” She was as equally fucking shocked as I was.“Fuck! Your brother James, is Tank.” It hit me like a ton of fucking bricks. For the last year, I had been mates and drinking with my ex-girlfriend’s big brother and had no fucking idea. This is why I run background fucking checks! I was so pissed at myself for not doing that and now I’m fucking blindsided.“Oh my god. You’re Buzz.” She said, flopping back down on the chair behind her. I looked behind her at Tank, who had woken up and was very much aware of who the fuck I was to Julia. “You’re Ryan?” he shouted, wincing at the pain it caused him. “You broke her fucking heart!” “She left me! I didn’t fucking do anything!” I a

Chapter 25Julia“No, please don’t go Ryan. I need you.” I said breathlessly. I hadn’t planned on this; I hadn’t prepared or anything! I mean, I had at least shaved my legs, but that was about it. Ever since I saw him in the hospital room, I hadn’t stopped thinking about him. I couldn’t let him leave, let him leave me again.I pulled him in to the house with me and closed the door behind us. Ryan took me in his arms again, lowering his head down to me. Our lips joined together in an earth-shattering kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist, sliding down to my butt. He squeezed, then lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his body, as he led me further into the house. “Which room?” He asked, pulling away, but only an inch from my mouth, “second door on the right” I added, equally as breathless as he was. He carried me into the bedroom, laying me

Chapter 27Buzz“Julia! Julia wake up baby… I need you to open those beautiful eyes for me, so I know you’re ok. Julia please baby, open your eyes.” I begged. I had only just woken up myself. After I watched what that cunt with a death wish had done to my girl, I completely lost it. I was screaming and shouting at him, threatening him. Of course, I still couldn’t move so it’s not like I could fucking do anything just yet. I fucking would though, I had cameras all over our house. There was no way they weren’t on film.“Shut him up will you, he’s giving me a headache.” One of the men ordered. The same guy who had hurt Julia, walked over to me with a grin on his face. “You think I’m fucking scared of you, cunt?” I asked, smirking back. “You just wait to see what I do to you when I get my hands on you. I won’t need my brothers for this one, I&

Chapter 29JuliaMy face ached. My whole body cried out with exhaustion, but I needed to see the attack. I was determined to see the bastards who did this. I lost over 90 minutes of time because I had been unconscious. Had numerous injuries that I couldn’t explain. I needed to know what they did to me whilst I was unconscious. I had one question that wouldn’t quit running around in my mind- was I raped? I didn’t feel sore down there, and I was still dressed so I didn’t think I was, but I was unnerved by the extra bite marks I couldn’t remember getting. What else did they do to me?I slowly climbed out of bed, as quietly as I could so I didn’t alert the boys of my presence. I crept to the door, begging that it wouldn’t squeak. I opened it slightly and slipped through. Creeping to the door to Ryan’s computer room, I heard them talking through the door. I pushed the handle down as slo
