[sub]Collab with [@The Muse], [@Viciousmarrow], [@lovely complex][/sub] [hr][hr][center][h3] [color=seagreen]Riley[/color] & [color=dodgerblue]Sophia[/color] [sub]with a pinch of [color=salmon]Kylie[/color][/sub][/h3][/center][hr][hr] [sub]Interacting with [@Themerlinhawk][/sub] [color=salmon]”...I’m so sorry… I need… help.”[/color] Kylie’s shaky voice echoed out when she saw it was too late for Jerry to do anything. She had failed in her attempt to be done with herself, to avoid the moment she was now stuck in. It was so hard, seeing the damage that had clearly already been done. Tears began to pour from those cerulean orbs of hers. The older sibling sat in a chair near the desk and worryingly stared at her immobile brother, whose eyes were glued to the screen. His breathing was hardly noticeable. Neither Sophia nor Riley acknowledged the police officer or Kylie. Words were said but for the male twin, it was entering a mind that was no longer mentally in the room. --- Starting the computer up, Riley took a deep breath in and looked up at his older sister. Was this a smart idea? Invading his twin’s privacy? But if what she said was true… they needed to do this. He didn’t want to believe his sister sold her body for money. He didn’t want to believe any of his sisters got involved with something like that. Yes, the flamed-haired man understood that they had the right to do whatever they wanted with and to their body, but this was just… a bit much. There was doubt residing in him, so opening these folders shouldn't be too bad. How could they? Kylie had social anxiety! Everything she said was pure hearsay! “[color=mediumseagreen]I’m sure she’s just lying![/color]” He exclaimed as he put the flashdrive into the port. The window opened up revealing those folders that Riley had seen yesterday: Fire Side Chats, Soap Box Derby, and Ginger Romantica. As much as he wanted to go straight to Ginger Romantica, assuming it had her love interest in it, he decided against the thought and went for the Fire Side folder. “[color=dodgerblue]She better be…[/color]” Sophia muttered, hovering over Riley’s shoulder as he sat at her desk and inserted the flash drive. Just the thought of her baby sister whoring herself out to complete strangers just for a quick buck made her chest tight and her stomach twist in knots. If it was true, then just how long had this been going on? Was she having safe sex? She didn’t have a …. [i]pimp[/i] or an [i]STD[/i] did she? Uncomfortably, Sophia folded her arms and bit on her lower lip as she watched Riley move the mouse cursor to the files that opened up in the flash drive. After the folder opened, relief fell over the man’s face, “[color=mediumseagreen]See Sophi! It’s only letters.[/color]” Opening one of the word documents up, he skimmed over it, noticing quite a few romantic...and naughty… words: [i]Dear Future Husband. Hold me in a tight embrace. Make me breakfast in bed. Stare at only me as you hover on top of me. Penetrate...[/i] ALRIGHT. THAT’S ENOUGH WITH THAT. This was interesting though, that his sister was such a romantic. He didn’t know she cared so much about love. Sure, she was into playing prince and princess when they were kids but that was child’s play. The letter kind of sounded like she was in love with someone. Who could she possibly love? Unless… it was one of her clients. Sophia nodded as she let her eyes quickly skim the word document, “[color=dodgerblue]Just letters…[/color]” Still, she couldn’t shake the anxious feeling consuming her body. “[i]Who is she writing about?[/i]” She thought, skipping past quite a graphic paragraph. It wasn’t that surprising, knowing Kylie and how infatuated teenage girls could become, but now she wondered who her sister was crushing on. “[i]She’s never said anything to me about liking anyone…[/i]” She almost felt offended, until she realized that her and Kylie hadn’t been very close since she left for college. Nearly four years ago now. Eesh. At the very least, this folder had nothing to do with prostitution. [i][color=mediumseagreen]Hm… which one next… Ginger or Soap? Soap seems the less serious of the two, so I’ll do that one.[/color][/i] His nerves were on the edge when he brought the pointer closer to the folder… [i][color=mediumseagreen]Let it be letters. Let it be letters.[/color][/i] With that, he lightly bit his bottom lip, similar to how Sophi did earlier, and clicked the folder open. His blue orbs stared fixedly at the sight: a inside closet shot of Sophia changing, a close up shot of sleeping Sophia, Sophia’s yoga pants butt, Sophia with a towel wrapped around her, and without the towel (boobs)… They were mild at least, besides the last one, but it was strange for their sister to have these kind of pictures. Joking it off, Riley laughed, “[color=mediumseagreen]You do have a pretty nice ass.[/color]” Sophia’s eyes grew wide as Riley clicked on the file that immediately revealed a dozen pictures of herself. “[color=dodgerblue]What the fuck![/color]” She couldn’t bite her tongue. Her eyes darted back and forth between photos, some of them Sophia remembered while some of them she had never knew even existed. Of course, she had never expected her sister to [i]keep[/i] the photos that she did know about. “[color=dodgerblue]What does she have these for?![/color]” She quickly leaned forward and yanked the mouse away from Riley as he complimented her ass, causing her cheeks to heat up. “[color=dodgerblue]Shut up.[/color]” This was no time for jokes. Sophia clicked out of the folder and deleted the entire file. Even if it was still on Kylie’s hard drive, at least it was gone from here. “[i]Does she sell my photos to people or something?![/i]” She sighed and stood upright again, leaving the mouse open for Riley. “[color=dodgerblue]We are getting into Kylie’s computer later and deleting all of those pictures…Who knows what else she has too![/color]” Sophia shook her head, remembering the sneaky picture Kylie had taken of her and posted on Twitter only a day earlier. “[color=dodgerblue]Let’s just look at the last file…[/color]” “[color=mediumseagreen]On the brightside, it can’t get any worse?[/color]” Riley knew he shouldn’t be amused by his sister’s reaction, but it was funny seeing her get all embarrassed at the pictures that displayed her nice body. Hey. He was a man and he wouldn’t deny his sisters, all of them, were hot, which is part of the reason why he was overprotective over them. BUT, he would never admit that to them. Hesitant, he grabbed ahold of the mouse once more. Love letters. Sophia’s assets. Now what? This was the folder he wanted to open since the moment he knew it existed. This could reveal the man of his twin’s dreams! The man he’d have to scare away. Yet, this was purely based on theories. The title was definitely influenced on a romance manga. He remembered stumbling upon it on the web one night. Granted, that romance manga was about two homosexual guys. Wait, Kylie can’t be gay could she? He didn’t mind if she was, however, it hurt she didn't tell him. Weren’t they close? Weren’t they twins? The man’s blue stare saddened at the thought of his other half keeping secrets from him. He supposed he was no better. After all, everyone had their secrets. Either way, time to open the folder right? Clicking the folder in a rather slow motion, Riley stared dully at the screen. New pictures came up and his mind for a second didn’t comprehend what he was seeing. Freezing in his seat, he scrolled down the folder… there was a goldmine of pictures… of him. Since he was 13 years old? Was that the dick pic he sent to Jenny? How- What? This folder was nothing compared to the Soap Box Derby one. His jaw dropped. Within seconds of witnessing the sight of his nude self and him doing things in and around the house, his body went catatonic. [i]Still[/i]. [i]Quiet[/i]. Nothing moved. Not his face. Not his eyes. Nothing. He was no longer in the office anymore. No. He was trapped in his mind. A memory flooded over him. Something he didn’t remember was a memory he had... Sophia’s heart dropped at the long list of photos in the file, gasping and putting a hand over her mouth. If she hadn't been so shocked she would have joked with her brother about it, but he was being just as quiet as her. Her face lit up in embarrassment, but she couldn’t take her eyes off of the pictures. With her eyes glued, she looked at each picture displayed. Some of them were similar to the photos that Sophia had, though most of them were a lot worse. At school, in the mall, sleeping, in the shower, and there were even some selfies of both Kylie and a sleeping Riley from when they would sleep together when they were younger. “[color=dodgerblue]I’m gonna be sick…[/color]” Sophia took a step back and shook her head. Kylie was a downright stalker and more perverted than she had ever thought she could be. Why were there so many pictures of Riley? Not only that, but most of them were of him [i]NAKED.[/i] Did she… have an extremely unhealthy obsession with her twin? All of the over-the-top jealousy and protective attitude of her twin was suddenly making sense. It wasn’t just because they were twins, it was… Oh, god, she couldn’t think about it. Instead she stumbled back into the empty chair off to the side of the desk, nausea overwhelming her all at once. Her uneasy stomach revolted against her and she suddenly dry heaved, immediately reaching for the small waste bin under the desk and holding it just below her face. Taking a moment to breathe deeply and assure that she could keep her breakfast down, Sophia slowly set the trash can down at her feet. Looking up, she noticed Riley still staring at the screen; frozen. “[color=dodgerblue]Riley, are you okay?[/color]” [hr][i][color=seagreen]Dark. Where was the light? Why was I told to stay in here? Daddy is going to be mad if I don’t go to practice…[/color][/i] A little boy with gorgeous red hair and little dimples, sat on the floor in a cramped room that held extra books and school supplies. Hugging his legs, he waited for someone to arrive. [i][color=seagreen]I don’t like the dark…[/color][/i] The little boy’s ears perked when he heard heels outside, a little grin falling on his face. His expression changed from scared to excitement. Holding his breath in, he waited for the door to open, knowing exactly who was coming. When the door opened, a mesmerizing blonde woman with a white outfit appeared, standing tall, strong, and [i]beautiful[/i]. The lost memory kept her face and her clothes hazy and hard to distinguish... Riley knew this was the woman he loved. He would never stop loving her. The boy met his innocent eyes with her ocean jewels, as she knelt down to his level and gave a warm, assuring smile. She didn’t say a word. Instead, she stroked the young boy’s cheek making his face flush. After the silence had lingered for a minute or two, she cooed on with her honey sweet voice, “[color=Mediumspringgreen]How’s my handsome boy doing?[/color]” Gaining his composure, he tried to respond with 'I'm fine! just a little hungry!', but instead little Riley mumbled, “[color=seagreen]I have baseball…[/color]” Her eyes never left his. They were so soft, so loving, so captivating, as if he was the most important person to her. Sadly, disappointment appeared on her face. [i][color=seagreen]I made her sad...[/color][/i] [b]Dammit[/b]. [b]Riley[/b]. Why did you make it seem like you didn't want to be with her? Why are you in such a rush? [i]She's here for you[/i]. Don't be such a child! His heart dropped at his thoughts. Would he ever be good enough for her? He didn’t mean to give her the wrong idea. [i][color=seagreen]I-I need to make this better.[/color][/i] When he opened his mouth to speak, her voice began to fill the closet once more. “[color=Mediumspringgreen]Before you go, I need you to do a little something for me, okay?[/color]” Her finger twirled a strand of his red hair. The boy nodded, playing with his fingers. Thinking fast, Riley blurted out with an apologetic tone, “[color=seagreen]Anything for you!![/color]” and brought his small hand up to touch her's. The woman snickered at his doting obedience. Standing up, she grabbed a hold of the child's hand that desperately reached for her, and pulled him up towards her. “[color=Mediumspringgreen]I'd like to take your picture. This will be similar to Picture Day but they won't be for your parents, they'd be for me.[/color]”[hr]How long was it before Riley gained feeling again in his body? Pulling his stare away from the screen, his deadpan face looked at the newcomers at the door but didn’t take them in. Where was he? Why was he here? His hands were shaking. Bringing them up, he stared at them contemplating the odd occurrence. He could hardly breath. Was he hyperventilating? If he was… it wasn’t apparent. Sweat rolled down his head as he tried to take in his surroundings, he needed to get out of here. [i][color=seagreen]I can’t...[/color][/i] Jolting up abruptly, without responding to his sister, the lost boy ran passed Sophia, making sure he didn’t mess anything up in the office but moving extremely fast where it was hard to catch him. He was known for his speed, after all. Charging towards the police officer and his twin that he didn’t notice were even there, Riley slipped passed them, his shoulder rubbing against Jerry’s and his eyes looking right through his sister’s. Not giving anyone much time to react, he escaped from the Queen’s Orchid. The further he got from the diner, the easier it was for him to breathe. He left the van behind and his family. His mind was thinking about only one place and that was... his treehouse. Kylie sobbed into her hands, making a complete mess of her make-up. She couldn’t blame Riley for his reaction. After what he just saw… Why didn’t someone just shoot her right now? There was no reason to keep living. [color=salmon]”...I’m not a whore...I’m a fucked up girl who’s guilty of loving her brother too much, Jerry. That’s all that’s on that flash drive…”[/color] she heaved out in between her snivelling. [color=salmon]”...I just really need help.”[/color] There was no mistaking her pleading, a woman who knew she didn’t belong in a jail cell. No, she belonged in a psych ward far, far away from her family where qualified professionals could actually aid in rehabilitating her mind. “[color=dodgerblue]Riley! Wait-[/color]” Sophia stood up from her chair and attempted to grab her brother’s arm but it was already too late. Facing her brother and the officer, Sophia frowned as she watched her sister break into sobs. How was she supposed to feel in this moment? Disgust for her sister? Pity? All she could feel was deep sorrow from the bottom of her heart. “[color=dodgerblue]There’s no evidence of prostitution on there, officer. She lied...[/color]” Her eyes glazed over with tears, fists clenching. “[color=dodgerblue]Kylie…[/color]” Her voice cracked as she struggled to keep back her own tears, “[color=dodgerblue]We need to get you help… a… a psychiatrist or… or something.[/color]” [hr] [sub][@Snagglepuss89][/sub] Not paying attention to where he was going, Riley crossed the street causing a woman (Nana) to suddenly stop on her breaks, the wheels made a loud screeching noise. He didn’t notice that Elliot was walking down the sidewalk and most definitely witnessed the possible accident. The car pulled over to the side but the mother didn’t go out to chase the distressed red haired man, who was on a mission to get somewhere. Instead, she got out the car and went to her back seat to comfort her crying son. [sub][@BlueAjah][/sub] Riley couldn’t stop running. Just running. Heading toward the park, his eyes glazed over, he didn’t notice that he ran right passed his own girlfriend. His expression was that of a scared child. Entering the park, he sped through it, went to the hiking trail in the woods, and finally got to his treehouse. Incredibly out of breath, sweat running down his forehead, he leaned himself against the tree. After a moment or two, trying his best to gain his composure, he entered his safe haven and crashed on the floor. Curling up, he closed his eyes and let the emotions pass, ultimately falling asleep.
