Chapter 3

Shane, Kelly and Ally stood in shock, looking at the unconscious Jessica, then at each other. Shane was the first to speak.

"Alright, I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I'm out of here. Kelly, Ally, please get my clothes, and Jessica's." Shane was wiping himself and Jessica as clean as he could with the sheets. Ally and Kelly ran back in, and dressed Jessica while Shane got dressed.

Kelly looked at Shane. "Shane, I'm so sorry, I thought it would be fun, but something happened..."

Shane hugged her close. "Look, baby, we'll get through this. Right now, we have to get out of here, and not let anyone know what happened. Ok? Now, I'm going to carry Jessica out, we'll say she got sick and fainted. We'll go back to the house, and talk it out, ok?"

Kelly nodded.

Shane looked at Ally. "Is there another way out of here except for the hall?"

Ally nodded, heading for the door. "Yeah, through the bedroom, it has a bathroom that goes into the hallway next to the kitchen."

Walking out, Ally was still confused. "Why would Andrea do this?" Kelly gave her a quick synopsis. "That bitch. I can't believe anyone would stoop that low."

Kelly was holding the door open for Shane to put Jessica in the back seat. "Ally, please god, don't tell anyone what you saw, please?"

Ally hugged Kelly close. "Sweety, all I saw was Jessica pass out and Shane help her to the car. That's all." She looked Kelly in the eyes, emphasizing the last sentence.

Shane thanked her, and got in the car. The drive back was very quiet. When they reached the house, they got Jessica into her room. Shane walked out, taking his bag with him. He was walking to the front door when Kelly saw him. "Shane, what are you doing?"

"I'm putting my bag in my truck. When Jessica wakes up, we're going to talk about it, and then I'm going to head home. I don't think it's a good idea for me to stay here anymore."

Kelly broke down crying. She slumped to the floor, and Shane came over, wrapping his arms around her. "Kelly, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

Kelly managed to hold her sobs for a little bit. "Shane, it's all my fault. Andrea set you up. She's the one who took you to the room. It's my fault, because I've been rubbing it in her face. She's been a bitch to me, and I wanted her to see that I was finally happy, in spite of her trying to make me sad again. And, it was my idea to go into the room, I thought it would be something new for you and me, but it got fucked up. I fucked it all up." After saying this, she broke down into uncontrollable crying. She was shaking, sobbing, wailing.

Shane picker her up and led her into her room. He sat her down on the bed. "Kelly, I won't leave tonight, alright? I'll stay until all this is worked out." Kelly nodded, and he left her there to cry it out.

Shane walked into the kitchen, heading for the fridge. He noticed a Miller longneck in the side door. He knew his sister drank occasionally. "What the hell, I've already broken the laws of nature. Fuck the legal drinking age."

He sat down in the living room, hearing Kelly's crying die down. Finally, her sobs were replaced with light snores. "Thank god, she's resting. Oh fuck, what did I do to get in this shit?"

"You came to visit your loving, caring, favorite sister, remember?"

Shane looked up, noticing Jessica standing in the doorway.

"Jess, I already told Kelly I was leaving, but I think we need to talk this out first, ok?"

Jessica sat down next to him, feeling Shane stiffen slightly. "Look, after tonight, don't get weird on me for sitting next to you, or I swear I'll kick your ass." She smiled after this, and Shane was glad to see that she wasn't slipping into insanity at least.

She continued, "And besides, I don't think you're quite old enough to be partaking of that particular drink."

Shane laughed, and told her his rationale in the decision. Jessica had to admit that it made sense. "Shane, we need to talk, but we all need to talk. But, I think you and I need to take showers, then we'll get Kelly, alright?"

Shane nodded, and flicked absently through the TV, waiting for Jessica to get done.

She walked out, and Shane went in. He showered off the combined juices. The water made him sticky and slick again, and he remembered what had happened. As bad as what had happened was, he couldn't lie to himself. He had loved it. It was pure, primal fucking, and it was great.

He looked down, noticing he had a hard on again. "Fuck, am I crazy? This can't be happening, she's my sister!"

He finished showering, thinking of everything he could to make it go down. His thoughts settled on Andrea, and his dick wilted quickly.

Shane put on some sweats and a t-shirt, and he walked back into the living room. Kelly had awoken, and was sitting on the couch, with Jessy. They were both crying, and Jessy's arm was around Kelly.

Shane sat in the recliner, looking at them. No one spoke for a while. They just sat, listening to the clock ticking, and the air conditioner kicking on.

"We gotta talk about this," Shane said finally.

Kelly and Jessica nodded. Kelly looked at them both. "You know who's behind it, don't you?"

Jessica's face hardened, her eyes burning red. "I'm going to kill that little bitch. I swear to god, I'm gonna rip her fucking eyes out and shove them up her crusty, dirty cunt."

Shane was shocked. This was new. "Look, she's not home, her car's gone. She'd be pretty stupid to be here tonight."

Kelly was shaking her head. "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I pissed her off, and she did this to get me back. I'm sorry for you guys getting involved in this."

Jessica hugged Kelly tightly. "It's not your fault, Kelly. What she did was sick, and twisted, and inexcusable."

Shane sat back, thinking over the events of the night. "Jessica, why did you go in the back? You seemed kinda withdrawn for the past few days, and tonight, you were in the back rooms waiting for a stranger to hump you?"

Jessica turned red. "I could ask you guys the same thing. Why do it at a party, you know you can do it here anytime you want."

It was Shane's turn to blush. "Well, it seemed like something new. All those people a few doors down, in the dark, the secrecy of it. We though it would be pretty sexy."

Mulling it over, Jessy nodded. "Yeah, I can see that idea." She let out a deep breath. "Ok, if you must know. I saw a guy yesterday afternoon, and I couldn't get him out of my mind. I don't know who he is, but he was so built, and gorgeous. I don't even know what he looks like, his face was covered up. I masturbated yesterday afternoon and last night dreaming of him, and then once this morning." She was blushing furiously now. "I can't believe I'm telling you guys this. But, hey, what the hell? It's not like nothing else embarrassing has happened lately."

Shane and Kelly both had to chuckle at that.

Kelly put her hand on Jessy's. "Well, he sounds pretty hot. Where did you see him?"

Jessica looked at the front door, rethinking the moment. "It was yesterday, at Janine's."

Shane's eyebrows picked up.

"He was working on her yard, doing the weeds, trimming, that sort of thing."

Shane was taking a slug of his beer, and spit it across the room when he heard that.

Jessica went over, patting him on the back. "Shane, are you ok? What happened?"

Shane was coughing and sputtering. "Tank top, safety goggles, orange dust mask?"

Jessica was confused. "Yes, that's what he had on. Do you know him, did you see him?"

Shane put his head in his hands. "Yeah, I know him. So do you." He walked to the laundry room, and walked back in holding the blue tank top he had been wearing, covered in grass clippings and dust.

Jessica's jaw dropped, staring in horror at the shirt. Then... she burst out laughing.

Kelly and Shane were confused. What was going on?

Jessica composed herself, and sat back upright. "Oh my god. So, not only did you and I end up in the room tonight, but you're the reason I was there to begin with."

Shane was confused.

"I went into the room tonight because I was hoping, through some divine interference, that I might end up with my dream guy. Maybe he was there, and he was lonely, and cosmic fate would put us together." She chuckled again. "I guess I got my wish."

Shane and Kelly had to admit, it was all very weird. And, more than slightly ironic.

Shane sat next to Kelly. He looked her deep in her eyes, and took her hand. "Kelly, I know this is all severely messed up, but I still love you, and I don't want to lose you. You know I wouldn't cheat on you if I had known what was happening."

Kelly nodded, her eyes tearing up slightly. "I know that Shane. And... to be honest... if it did have to happen, at least I know that it wasn't someone who would try to steal you from me. Or someone who would tell what had happened. It was my best friend. And, despite the other thing..." She looked down at the floor, trying to finish her thoughts.

"What is it Kelly?" Jessica was leaning forward.

"If it made Jessica happy, I don't really mind that it happened. I know that with you, at least it was a wonderful, loving experience." She was tearing up at this, looking at the two people she loved, hoping they wouldn't think she was a freak.

Shane sat silently, and then looked at Jessica. "What... uh... what did you think of it?"

Jessica looked at him, seeing the old Shane: apprehensive, nervous, shy... the good ol' Shane.

"Honestly, it was incredible. And, Shane?" She took his hand in hers. "Honestly, it doesn't really freak me out that it was you with me. You know that I love you, and I didn't know if this is included in the brother sister handbook of being there for each other... but I know that I have faith in good guys again. Guys that put someone else's needs above their own. And Shane, you are one of those guys."

Shane laughed softly and pulled his sister into a hug. She jumped on the couch, and started tickling him, making him squirm. "But dammit, if you always tease Kelly like you did to me tonight, with that whole licking then stop, stroke then stop bullshit, I will help her tickle your ass into submission, or until you wet yourself, you understand me?"

Kelly was laughing at this point. "He does that every time. It can be annoying, until he gets down to business."

Jessica got off of Shane, sitting down on the couch with them. "Really Shane, I have to thank you. Before yesterday, I was actually considering going lez."

It was Kelly's turn to go into a coughing fit. Shane patted her back, rubbing her arm. Finally, she sat up, turning red. "Ummm, I have something to tell you guys."

Jessica looked at her in shock. "Oh my god Kelly, you didn't!"

Kelly smiled meekly. "Obviously, someone put the next person in line into my room, and it was a girl. She started to do that thing you do... with your tongue, and I thought it was you. But... she was really into it. She knew what to hit, where to touch, and it was... mind blowing."

Shane stared at Kelly in shock. Deep down inside though, he had to admit, the thought of Kelly and another girl was...

Well, his response was evident, when his sweats started tenting. Jessica noticed first, and started laughing.

"Umm, Kelly! I don't think Shane has a major problem with that happening."

Kelly looked down, and started laughing herself. "I guess not."

Shane was blushing deep red at this point. "Ok, let's not keep picking on me."

He took both their hands. "So, are we all ok now?"

Kelly hugged him close. "Yes, I am fine with everything."

Jessy hugged him, too. "Me too. Everything's cool."

They were sitting there, flipping through the TV, when Jessica spoke up. "So, Kelly? You say that you enjoyed your little... tryst tonight?"

Kelly blushed, and nodded.

"Well..." Jessica got a huge, shit eating grin on her face. "Since everyone had a good time, and we all admit that we're curious about some of the things that happened..."

Shane was the first to catch on. "Oh ho ho, are you suggesting that we all... engage in some naughtiness?"

Jessica shrugged. "Look, we all admit that we liked it. And, we all admitted that we're not majorly upset with what happened with you and me, Shane. So, why not explore this a little further?"

Shane looked at Kelly, and she had a thoughtful look on her face.

Before anyone could speak, the phone rang.

Jessica looked at the caller ID, and her face hardened. "It's Andrea." Her voice could have made Beelzebub wet himself at that point.

Shane hopped up and grabbed the phone. "I'll talk to her." He walked onto the front porch and pulled the door behind him. "Hello?"

He heard sobbing on the other end. "Sh... Shane? Oh thank god someone's there. Please Shane, I need help, I need you to pick me up."

Shane kept a cool head. "And why would I do that, Andrea?"

She sobbed on the other end. "Shane please, I'm stuck here, I can't get back to my car, and I just need someone to pick me up. I... I'm scared, Shane. Please?"

As pissed as he was, he could tell she was in trouble. "Where are you?"

She gave him directions to a house on Frat row. Shane hung up and walked back inside. He grabbed his bag, pulling a pair of jeans out.

Kelly and Jessica walked back into the living room. "What did the bitch have to say?" Shane grabbed his keys and wallet. "She's in trouble, I'm going to pick her up."
