Face-The-Music Chapter 11
By Jamie Wade
There I was, standing over the kitchen stove, making eggs. I was trying to make breakfast for my sister, who had just been raped. Raped by the brother of the guy who raped me. I know, I've forgiven Percy and all, but it still doesn't excuse what he did. This whole thing is just one big mess that has opened up a giant can of worms. I was lost in thought, and didn't realize I was burning the eggs until I smelled the smoke.
"Shit." I said to myself quietly. I turned off the stove, and ran the pan of burning eggs to the sink, and turned on the faucet, and drenched them.
"Well, I guess breakfast is out of the question." I turned around and saw Tara standing in the doorway. I raced over to her, and gave her a big bear hug.
"Man Tara, am I glad to see you. Thanks for getting over her so quickly."
"No problem. So, how's Rachel doing?"
"I don't know. I brought her down into the living room about an hour ago, and I haven't heard a peep from her." Then we both walked into the living room, and saw Rachel watching some cartoons. She was lying on the couch, and then noticed both of us. She got up, hugged Tara, and started crying again.
"Shhh, it's ok Rachel, we're going to take care of this. Everything is going to be ok, I promise." But I saw the look of fear in Tara's eyes, who could blame her though, I felt the same way. This was going to be really hard for Rachel; I just had no idea how to handle this. I mean, I've been through this before, but the cops didn't even consider it, considering it was Mr. Elliot's son.
After a while, Rachel calmed down, and we got her to sit on the couch again.
"Ok Rachel. Now I know you probably don't want to do this, but we have to go to the police about this."
"Why? I just want this whole thing to go away. It's over and done with, why do we have to go to the police?"
"Because Rachel, what he did to you was wrong, he needs to pay."
"I don't care, as long as we don't talk about it, it will go away."
"But Rachel..."
"No buts, ok. We are not talking about this anymore." It was clear Tara wasn't getting anywhere, so I had to step in.
"RACHEL! Now I know you don't want to go, but YOU ARE GOING! You don't have a choice in this matter. I know, you are too ashamed to go, you don't want people to know that you were taken advantage of, but you are going. If you don't go, you will live the rest of your life haunted by the images of him raping you, and you won't be able to live with that. And you want to know how I know this, it's because it happened to me, ok. I have been through this, and I know what it's like for you, so you are going. No questions asked."
"Josh, I had no idea."
"Yeah, well, I didn't want to seem like I was weak."
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
"Um, so are we going to the police?"
"Yeah, lets get going."
After our little talk, we all drove the to police station. We walked in, and were about to get someone, when we saw Percy and Neil there. I forgot that they were coming today to give them Percy's dad's ledger, so he would be put away. I told Tara and Rachel to wait a second, and I headed over to Percy and Neil.
"Hey guys, turning in the ledger?"
"Yeah, we already did. One of the cops took it, and now they are going over it. What are you guys doing here?"
"Well, I guess you better find out now rather than later. It seems that Wes, your brother Percy, raped my sister last night, or early this morning. So we are hear to make sure that he pays for this."
"Wait a second Josh." And with that, Percy dragged me outside by the arm, and kind of forcefully too. "Josh, you can't do that."
"And why not, he deserves it?"
"I know, but Wes is all the family I got right now, and I just don't think I could take losing him too."
"But he raped my sister! I won't let him get away with that, I won't let this happened again. Not now, not ever."
"Listen, Josh, I understand. It's just that he's my brother, at least let me talk to him before you do this, ok?"
"Ok, but I'm not giving you that much time, at least a day, ok?"
"Ok." And with that, Percy took off running out of the police station, and towards his house, looking for his brother.
"Where did Percy go to?"
"He had to go home."
"Oh, well the police went over the ledger, and it is accurate, so they are going to get his dad."
"Now?"
"Um, yeah, now."
"Oh shit, Percy is going to be there, what if his dad..." I didn't even have a chance to finish the sentence, Neil went bolting out of the door. I then rushed over to Rachel and Tara.
"Um, sorry guys, this is going to have to wait. I'm going to go over to Percy's house, Tara, you take Rachel home. Trust me Rachel, we are going to make Wes pay."
So then I raced towards Percy's house, and Tara and Rachel went home. I was running as fast as I could, trying to make it to Percy's house. I just hope that Percy was ok, his dad could have done anything to him if he found out he turned him into the cops. I eventually got to Percy's house and saw a bunch of cop cars outside. I looked around, and spotted Neil and Percy.
"Hey guys, I got here as fast as I could, did they get your dad?"
"No, he's not home. It looks like he hasn't been home for awhile, so they are going to wait around for him, and if he doesn't show up, they are going to go look for him." Percy looked kind of nervous, so Neil took his hand in his and squeezed it, have I mentioned how cute they are together.
"Don't worry Percy, I'm sure they are going to catch him. By the way, is your brother here?"
"Um yeah, he's in the kitchen, the cops were asking him some questions. Listen Josh, just let me talk to him first, ok?"
"Ok, but when? I can't wait around forever."
"Well, I guess now is the time then."
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Later babe, right now I got to talk to my brother." And so Percy went inside, and pulled his brother aside to talk to him.
"What's going on Josh? What happened with Percy's brother?"
"Not right now Neil. I'll tell you later, ok?"
"Ok, whatever." Then we heard Percy and Wes screaming at each other, and the cops intervened, and held each of them back.
"Ok Josh, now you can talk to the cops."
"Um, ok. Maybe in a second, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure." So I took Percy outside to find out what happened.
"So what happened Percy, why were you guys screaming?"
"Well, it seems my brother has my father's way of thinking. He said he wasn't even sorry for what he did, he said Rachel wanted it, she is just being a cry baby."
"Man, I'm so going to kick his ass."
"Yeah, I know, but the truth is I kind of used to be that way, with you."
"Yeah, but you apologized for it, and I've forgiven you. You know, you've really changed Percy, in just the past few days, ever since you met Neil."
"Yeah, I know what you mean, I really love him."
"I kind of figured, it's hard not to tell."
"I guess, I see the same thing in you and Aaron too."
"Yeah, he's great. So I guess I have to turn your brother in then."
"Yeah, come on lets go." Then Percy and me went in, and I told the police what happened between my sister and Wes. They sent a cop car over to my house to get a testimony from Rachel, to confirm my story, and I knew they would. Then out of the blue, Percy said something that shocked both Neil and me.
"I did the same thing to him."
"What? What was that son?"
"I raped this kid right here, Josh."
"Um, do you realize what your saying Percy."
"Yeah, I do."
"Son, are you confessing to me?"
"Yes officer. When Josh here came to the police station confessing I raped him, he was telling the truth. You guys just ignored him because of my father, but he was telling the truth."
"Ok son, well then, you know what we have to do."
"Yes officer, I do."
"Ok son, put your hands behind you back then." And with that, they handcuffed Percy and took him to the police car. Neil walked after him, but the officer told Neil that he would have to meet Percy at the police station. Then the officer drove off with Percy in the back seat.
"Listen Josh, I gotta go see if Percy is alright, so I'm going to have to bail ok?"
"Yeah, ok Neil. Listen, I hope he's ok, and you should know I had nothing to do with this."
"Yeah, I know, bye." Then the officer in charge of Wes got a call on his walkie-talkie.
"Ok, yeah, good. Ok, it looks like your story is good. We're going to take Wes here into the station, you want a ride son? Your sister and her friend are going to be there."
"My cousin, and yeah, I'll hitch a ride, thanks." Then me, the officer, and Wes in the back, took a ride to the station. It was a pretty awkward ride too, until Wes spoke up.
"I hope your happy Josh, you have single handily ruined my family."
"You, I am thanks." Then we arrived, and I saw Rachel and Tara there, and then I noticed Kylie and Aaron there as well.
"We called them both, I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not, hey guys."
"Thanks for letting me know what the heck is going."
"Yeah, sorry Kylie."
"Hey babe." I gave Aaron a kiss on the lips that lasted for like a minute.
"Hey, my mom said she talked to you when you left this morning." It got quiet when he said that, and I realized what he just revealed.
"Ok, yes, I stayed the night at his house, can we move on."
"Ok." Everybody said it in unison, it was pretty funny.
We all stayed at the station for about an hour or so, and then left. Percy and Neil had to stay a little while longer. I don't think they were going to hold Percy that long. He would be released in about another hour, so Neil was waiting for him. I don't know what they were doing with Wes. I think I heard them say they were sending him to some juvenile facility far far away, thank god.
We all arrived back at my house, and decided to chill on the couch.
"Oh, hey, we better call mom and dad, to let them know what's going on."
"Yeah, your probably right."
"I'll do it you guys, don't worry."
"Thanks Tara, I just couldn't handle it right now."
"No problem." Then she went to the kitchen, and called mine and Rachel's parents. She came back later and informed us that our parents were leaving their vacation early so they could get home. Then we all decided to watch a movie, but we all ended up falling asleep once the FBI warning screen came on. It had been one busy morning, and we were all exhausted.
I don't know how long that we had fallen asleep, but the time I woke up, it was dark out. I looked around, and everybody else was asleep. I noticed that Aaron had fallen asleep in my lap, he looks so cute when he sleeps. I noticed that my throat was really dry, so I got up and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water. Once I had gotten my drink, I decided to go outside and sit and relax, right like I needed more down time. I was sitting there a while when I noticed someone coming towards me, and it looked like they were moving kind of slow. I soon realized that it was Neil, and he didn't look good. As he got closer, I noticed that something was wrong with him; I just knew something bad happened. He finally got to my porch, and I looked him over. He had a bloody nose, a black eye that looked really bad, he was holding his arm, and he was limping on his right leg, so that must have been hurt as well.
"Holy hell Neil, what the heck happened?"
"Percy...Dad...bad."
"What, Neil, I can't understand you?"
"Percy's...Dad...came...killed...cops...took...Percy." Neil couldn't function anymore, and just collapsed in my arms. Oh shit! Percy's dad must have come home and saw the cops, so he killed the cops. Then he must have gone to attack Percy, but Neil got in the way. Once he beat up Neil, he took Percy. Fuck, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.
