Stolen Innocence

Chapter 9: The Truth Hurts

Dominic POV:

How could I be so fuck'n stupid!!!

To think that mu baby sis was the reason of our mothers death?

To find out the truth behind everything. The gang, all my father lies, my mother death. Literately had me

at breaking point. All I could think about was my baby sister that I have spent ignoring and tormenting

for the last few years.

I didn't even know how to tell her I'm so sorry for all the pain I put her through.

I did all of that because I stupidly listened to the man I once called father. This is all his fault.

And I'm going to make him pay for taking our mother away.

*flashback

After the little convo at the nursebay, Kerra suggested we all head back to hers so she could further

explain everything to us.

Back at the place, everyone was introduced to each other. Looking for my little nephew, he came

running out and straight into the arms of Zahrah???

Did Zahrah know already???

"Okay. I am going to explain the truth. So don't interrupt me. Got it!" Kerra finished off sternly.

Nodding our heads in understanding, she sat on Vincent's lap and continued.

"First of I will always love you Zahrah" I was about to interrupt when she gave me a stern look. shutting

my mouth, I let her carry on.

"Zahrah is our half sister. She has a different dad"

Wow to say we were all shocked was an understatement, looking back at Zahrah I watch her drop her

head.

Instincts kick in and I get up and crouch in front of her. Grabbing her hand between mine I softly

whisper "You're still my baby sister that I'll always love no matter what" hoping that she would say

something she pulls her hands out of mine immediately.

Sighing I get up and sit back in my original seat. Giving my full attention back to my older sister, she

looks at Zahrah in a way that I couldn't quite figure out.

"Zahrah, is it okay if I tell them" Zahrah looked a little hesitant at first but nodded her head.

"Okay I won't go into any details of it, but when dad found out. He tried to get with Zahrah".

Wait what? What the actual fuck? Giving Kerra a wtf look she just closes her eye and inhales deeply.

"He tried to, but mum stopped him. Dad was full of rage when mum intervened to protect Zahrah. So

he did the only thing he was actually good at" she then looked me in the eye, and that's when I saw it.

Her eyes softened and changed to pity?

Turning away from me she looked out the window and softly whispered something I couldn't quite

catch.

Hearing several gasp, I look around the room and see the many shocked faces. Staring back at Kerra

all I see is embarrassment and pain written all over her face.

"He killed mum Dominic. He killed her out of guilt, hatred and lust."

For minutes I stare blankly at the wall, till it hits me like a ton of bricks.

That fuck'n bastard !

Fuming with anger I start yelling, totally forgetting my nephew was in the room.

"That fuck'n asshole, he fuck'n lied to me. He told me Zahrah killed mum! I fuck'n hate him. Arggggh I

want to fuck'n kill him"

The boys try calming me down, but that only seems to anger me more.

Thankfully Kerra managed to calm me down, by reminding me of little Theo. Controlling my heavy

breathing, I feel a lone tear slip through my lashes.

Peeking through them I see my poor baby sister, all huddled up in the corner of the room. I watch

Jevani attempt after attempt to try and comfort her, but all she does is pull away.

I did this to her,

I destroyed my baby sister,

All because of that asshole.

*end of flashback

For some reason Zahrah, became terrified. So Kerra had to take her into the other room.

And now it's been an 1hr since they've left the room. I didn't bother looking up at all the boys, I knew

we were all guilty. Especially me.

Hayden's Pov:

I feel like complete shit!

That's honestly what I feel like.

Guilty shit!

Apart of me wants to blame this all on Dominic, but the truth is I can't. I chose to be apart of Zahrah's

torment.

And now I'm paying the price,

Cause all I feel is guilt eating away at me.

I am so sorry Zahrah

Brian's Pov:

Crying

I never cry

But that's what I'm doing

Crying over the shit I took part in making Zahrah's life horrible

I'm so sorry Zahrah, please forgive me

Levi's Pov:

Pissed!!!

So fuck'n pissed

I feel so ashamed and embarrassed of myself

All I can think about is how sorry I am

I'm truly sorry Zahrah, I'm so sorry

Keaton's Pov:

I know me, Jevani and Troy never took part in the actions, but neither did we stop it.

I wish I jumped in sooner, looking over at Jevani. I know he's in a lot of pain.

I mean the girl he loves with all his heart is hurt and has been hurt for a while and he didn't intervene to

stop all the shit happening.

I just hope he talks to Zahrah.

Troy's Pov:

Well if it was in different situation, I'd be laughing at the three fools who succeeded in tormenting

Zahrah.

I know I ain't much, since I didn't try to stop it, but the fact that they now feel guilt eating away at them.

Serves them right. If it was up to me, I totally would of agreed to see Kerra beating them up.

I just hope Jevani stops beating himself up with the 'What If's".

Jevani's Pov:

Feeling a light pat on my back, I nod my head in thanks to Troy. At the same time Kerra comes out of

the room alone.

"Something isn't right with her" she faintly whispers. Staring at the others, I figured they hadn't noticed

her presence.

Scrunching my brows together, I become curious as to what she said.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I hear Dominic apologizing over and over again. The followed by the

others.

Silence then falls over us.

It was completely silent until Dominic looked up from is crouching position and spoke with so emotion in

his voice.

"It hurts, it hurts so much" he managed to say through tears.

I actually feel bad for them, turning my head towards the window, I see Kerra leaning against with her

husband, eyeing us.

Gulping when I hear the venom laced in her voice, with the words that fall out of her mouth,

"That's not pain you're feeling.... That's regret".

With that I watch her lean back into her husbands chest and stare outside the window.

Regret

Yes that is what's torturing my body
