Chapter 90


    I‘d like to be able to say that I’m shocked to hear Mason’s name, but I‘m not. I‘ve known all along that


    he’s had something to do with all of it, but never in a million years did | think that my own sister would


    be


    involved. The thought of Elise working with Mason makes my blood boil, but the more ! think about it, th


    e more everything makes sense. Her change in attitude toward me, her disappearing whenever I


    was around, even the whole Prom thing with the upper ssman.


    I should have put two and two together then, but I never thought my own sister would betray me like th


    at.

    I’m forcing myself to stay as calm as I can after taking in this new information. I need to hear her out, I


    need to know every detail of every moment that she has spent with him. I won‘t get any of that if I lose


    my shit on her now, and it really looks as though she is truly remorseful.


    “I need to know everything, Elise.” I keep all emotion off my face and out of my voice.


    “I can start from the beginning, and tell you everything, E. I don‘t want to keep anything out, and who


    knows, maybe some of it will help you figure things out somehow.” She grabs another tissue and blows


    her nose before starting.


    I use this time to grab us both a bottle of water and grab my phone from the kitchen counter. I go into th


    e app that has the voice recorder and press record. I‘m


    not sure if I will ever need it, but it won‘t hurt to have it just in case. I return to the


    couch and hand her one of the bottles of water and then sit back

    “Okay, El. Whenever you’re ready.”


    “Well, it started right after you left. I was so mad at


    you for leaving me, anu so I started going to small gatherings where there was alcohol and sometimes,


    even


    weed. I didn‘t do any of that stuff at first, but then Madison befriended me and started talking about how


    her brother was innocent in all he was being used of and telling me how he was


    really into me, but he was too shy to approach me because of everything


    going on.


    Finally, a few dayster, Madison picked me up and we


    went to a private house party, only a few were selected toe. That‘s when Mason first approached


    me. We just sat


    and talked for a long while, and then he offered me a wine cooler. When I finally agreed to having one,


    he kept bringing me another, and at one point, he offered me a gummy bear, telling me that they were t


    he best around; I didn‘t realize that it was an edible.”


    She stops and takes a drink of her water before continuing, “Mason took my virginity that night. I can‘t s


    ay


    that it wasn‘t consensual, because he made me feel good and, in the end, I was begging for more, not r


    ealizing that he was going to take everything, I never said no,” she wipes a tear that slips out, “Anyway,


    he yed me every time I was around him, treating me like I was the most special girl in the world. He


    even told me that he loved me. I was so under his spell that I didn‘t realize what he was doing every tim


    e he dropped little hints that something needed to be done before he had to go to court,


    otherwise, he may go away for a long time and not get to see me.

    I‘m the one that came up with the idea of ckmailing you, though. In my eyes, Mason was


    innocent. He told me that he was trying to stop the others from doing what they were doing to you, but


    they wouldn’t listen.”


    “Mason is the one who gagged me that night, and then molested my breasts while Brandon hit my ass


    repeatedly. The only thing he did to help me was when he pulled Kaylee away from me because she


    kicked me continuously. Mason was thest to leave, and do you know what happened


    before he left me there, beaten almost to death? He told me that he could have been good to me had I


    only given him a chance. He then removed the gag, only to spit in my mouth


    and then rece the gag. That‘s how much that piece of shit helped me!” I can‘t help that my voice rais


    ed by the time I finish. Reliving that night is making me feel everything all over again.


    “I‘m so sorry that I listened to him, E…” Elise whispers as tears


    now flow down her face. She doesn‘t even bother wiping them away anymore.


    A single drop rolls down my own cheek and I quickly swipe at it. I will not allow them to have any more


    of my tears, “I just wanted you to know my side of the story; the true story, but please, continue.”


    She nods, “It wasn‘t until mom told me that you went to lunch with Jace, that I


    thought of how we could get you to drop the charges. I called Mason and he had me meet him around t


    he corner from our house and gave me a tiny camera. I had told him how you and Jace have been reall


    y close and that I suspected that you were having sex, and so he asked me to set the camera up in you


    r bedroom. So, since you were gone all afternoon, I had time to set it up.”

    “You never once thought about my feelings, what this would do to me if it got out?” I ask incredulously.


    She shakes her head, “All I knew was that you didn’t care about me since you left the way you did, and


    that now you were ruining the one person that did care for me.”


    “Elise.”


    She holds her hand up, stopping me, “After he got the video, he slowly started


    to pull away from me until he ghosted me all together. By the time the court hearing was over,


    so were we. I was so ashamed of myself for letting him manipte me like that; I was too scared to say


    anything.”


    I‘m not really sure what to say or how to react. Of course,


    I’m hurt that my own flesh and blood would do this to me, but at the same time, she‘s young and an old


    er boy took


    advantage of her. Is she innocent? Not at all, but should I, as her older sister, who knows how manip


    tive those assholes are,


    make her pay for her actions? In a sense, but not by disowning her or anything. I was in a bad ce, a


    nd I left her without even telling her everything. I‘m not


    cing me on myself, but I can understand why she would turn to others who showed her the attenti


    on that she was craving. I just want my baby sister back.


    I look her straight in the eye, “Is Mason the one stalking me?”


    “I really don‘t know,


    E. I do know that the first time I heard dad talking to Jace about someone being in


    your apartment that next morning, I know Mason was here in town. I had snuck to another house party a

    “Why didn‘t you tell dad, or even Jace?”


    She looks at me sheepishly, “Because I was hoping that Mason would get


    used of it and go to jail. I wanted him to pay for what he did to me.”


    The chuckle thates


    out of my mouth is unintentional, “That‘s understandable, but you still should have


    said something, so we could have started looking elsewhere.”


    My sister‘s blue orbs are wide as saucers, “Oh, my God, I didn‘t even think about that! I‘m so sorry!”


    “You know what? It‘s done, we now know, but you need


    toe clean with mom and dad as well. I have a feeling that they are going to want something done a


    especially dad.”


    “I‘m scared, E.”


    “As you should be, and you will probably be grounded for a very long time, so I suggest


    we enjoy your freedom while you are here.” I give her a half of a smile.


    She throws her


    arms around my neck, “I love you, E! You are the best sister that a girl could ever ask for, and I will be


    Thug her back, “You‘re notpletely forgiven, you know, but I‘m sure we will get through


    this, together. I love you too, El.”


    There you have it, Elise‘s story and part in all of this. Now, if only we can figure out who the stalker is! H
