Chapter 2

"Mom? I'm home," Christine said cheerfully as she walked into her house that evening. Her first day of work went smoothly.

"Mom?" She repeated but her mother was nowhere in sight.

Christine kicked off her shoes, took off her cap and went to the kitchen to pour herself a drink when suddenly she felt a strong hand cover her mouth. She gasped and her eyes widened.

"Shhh little sis. Mom's not home right now. We have the house to ourselves." David's deep voice whispered in her ear. His lips trailed kisses down her neck softly.

He easily picked her up and took her to his room. He threw her on the bed and began to take off his clothes. Christine looked around and was disgusted by his room. He had so many pictures of naked women all over his wall. It was as if he were a teenage boy in heat.

"I don't want to have sex! Leave me the fuck alone!" Christine yelled.

David was almost naked except for his boxer shorts. He smiled wickedly. "I want to get to fuck you right now before mom gets home. I know you have to go to sleep early so I won't keep you up. See, that's how much I care for you."

Christine felt tears run down her face. "If you really cared for me, you wouldn't be doing this to me. You'd love me like a brother should really love a sister. Not in some perverted way."

He laughed. "Don't you think all brothers want to fuck their sisters? It's a fact."

"Shut up! You're just sick! You need to go get a real girlfriend and leave me alone!"

David's eyes filled with anger. He reached down and slapped Christine hard leaving a dark red handprint on her pale face. "I've had enough of all this talking. I'm going to have to rape you if you don't give it up sis."

"You have been raping me all this time. What makes this time any different?"

David groaned and began to pull up her shirt. He took her breasts out of her bra and sucked on them hard. Christine struggled underneath him but a body of 115lbs trying to escape a body of 190lbs was almost impossible. She lay back and let her brother take complete control of her body.

"Christine, can you please take this down to the courthouse to room 510. They are very important documents so I really need for you to be careful with them. They need them in 10 minutes." Janice spoke sternly.

"Yes ma'am," Christine responded grabbing the forms in her hands.

Janice smiled sweetly at her. "You're doing a fine job Christine."

Christine blushed. "Thank you ma'am."

"Oh god please don't call me ma'am. I'm only 28 and makes me feel really old."

Christine looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. But 28 is not old at all. You look younger."

This time Janice blushed. "You want a raise don't you?"

Christine laughed and walked out with the documents.

As the weeks went by, Christine continued to enjoy her job. It was the only time she could get away from her disturbing home life. She started to save up money hoping that a few more months, she'd have enough for a down payment for her own apartment. She didn't care where she lived, as long as it was away from her brother.

Late one evening, Christine and Janice were in the office finishing cleaning up. Janice sat down on her leather chair and kicked off her high heels putting her feet up on her desk. Christine was busy filing away paperwork when something caught her attention.

Janice had a pair of long smooth legs that one couldn't help but look at. Christine studied her boss. She had to admit Janice was a very sexy woman. Her small figure, charming ways and pretty face could make anyone fall in love with her.

"So what are you doing tonight Christine?" Janice asked leaning her head back on the chair.

Christine closed the filing cabinet. "I don't know. Probably nothing. I'm just going to go home and sleep."

"It's Friday night. You're young. Aren't you allowed to go out?"

"I guess. I never really go out."

"You are very pretty Christine. I'm surprised you don't have a boyfriend to take you out."

Christine frowned. "I hate boys."

Janice laughed. "You'll grow out of that."

"I doubt it. Besides, I'd rather hang out with a good friend rather than a boy. I wish I had a good friend."

Janice looked over at Christine. "I hope you think I'm a good friend. I may be your boss, but I still want you to think of me as a friend."

Christine smiled meekly. "Well I think you are the only friend I have right now."

Janice raised her head up and put her feet down. "Let's do it then. Let's go out tonight. Maybe to dinner and then take a nice walk downtown. What do you say?"

Christine's heart raced. "Yes!"

The night was crisp and the stars hung brightly. After enjoying a nice dinner the girls walked down the street talking about different things.

"So when I graduated from college, I promised my mom I'd buy her a car, and now I'm stuck with her bill!"

Christine laughed. "I wish I could buy my mom a car or better yet buy me a car."

"I'm sure you can. Just save up a bit and you can get enough for a down payment.

"Yeah I suppose so."

"Here let's take a little break. My feet are hurting," Janice said taking a seat on a bench outside a video store.

Christine sat next to Janice. She couldn't help but feel nervous.

"So tell me Christine, you have absolutely no boyfriend? No love interests?"

Christine looked away.

"I'm sorry was that too personal?"

Christine looked at Janice. "No. It's just that I don't like talking much about my personal life. Let's just say I've had some hard times."

"I see. I can respect that," Janice answered placing her hand over Christine's.

Christine felt her mouth go dry. Janice's soft hand was such a comforting feeling at that moment. Deep down Christine wanted to hold Janice's hand but she knew she had to stop thinking such thoughts.

Janice removed her hand and ran her fingers through her long dark hair. "Phew it's a bit hot tonight. I want to cut my hair but my Tom wouldn't want that."

Oh great she has a boyfriend.

"Tom?" Christine asked.

"Yes. He's my ex-boyfriend."

"So why do you care what he thinks?"

"Because I'm foolish. I'm trying to make him realize that I am the one for him. He's been seeing some floozy that works at a salon I used to go to and I still have feelings for him."

"But you're not with him. I say you should move on."

"Easier said than done honey. I've tried but it's hard to find love."

Christine sighed. "I know what you mean."

"I'd like a short haircut like the one you have. It's cute."

Christine blushed again. "Thanks. I accidentally cut it. I was angry when I did."

Janice giggled. "I've done that before. I just think short hair suits you. You should keep it that way."

Christine nodded. "I think I will."

The weekend felt like torture for Christine. She missed Janice and her friendship. Girls her own age would never make friends with her. It felt as if Janice was so easy to talk to.

Luckily David had gone out of town with some friends for the weekend. Christine felt at easy for the first time in a long time. She spent some time with her mother but noticed her mother wanted to be mostly in bed.

"Are you ok mom?"

Luanne breathed heavily. "Yeah. I'm fine. I just feel tired."

"You should take it easy. Let me make you some soup and we'll watch a good movie on TV tonight ok?"

Luanne smiled. "Sounds great. You know Chrissy, I really miss you here. You and David are gone all day, I feel lonesome."

Christine held her mother's hand. "We can spend time together on the weekends. All you want. I have to work mom, I'm sorry."

"Yes I know. I do hope you go back to school though. You're brother dropped out but thankfully he got a good job at the refinery thanks to your father, may he rest in peace."

Christine didn't reply. She hated David, she hated her father and she didn't need to hate her mother. Her mother was all the family she had.

Once Monday arrived, Christine felt more alive. She saw Janice walk in that morning wearing her long hair pinned up. Her short dark green skirt made Christine weak at the knees.

"Good morning Christine," Janice said cheerfully setting her briefcase on the font desk.

"Morning."

"How was your weekend?"

"Ah pretty good and yours?"

"It was the pits. I got into a huge fight with Tom. You know I don't think I can put up with him anymore."

"I told you, boys are trouble."

"Well, he's 35 but I guess he still acts like a boy."

"They never grow up," Christine said sarcastically.

"You're right. Anyway, I'm going to be swamped with work today. I got two cases before noon! I'm going to need a drink after work."

Christine laughed. "I finished filing some of the work from Friday and here is the paperwork you need for today."

Janice took the paperwork and smiled. "Thank you! Now I just got a few errands for you to do today. After you're done, you are free to go home if you like. It'll be a short day."

Christine looked disappointed. "No. I don't want to go home."

"Don't worry you'll still get paid for the rest of the day honey."
