Can't Let You Go
By now,all the sofa's has been overturned, the glass on the windows has been shattered, and the walls have holes punched in them.
The whole place looks like it's been destroyed, with pieces of broken glass scattered everywhere.
Reed was sitting on the floor crying his heart out like a baby.
If all they told him are the truth? Does that mean he has been f**king his own sister?
FLASHBACKS*
"She's your sister Reed! You guys are siblings,you can't be together" Aurora shouted.
"What!"
"I'm being serious Reed,you guys have to stop dating before it's too late-
"What the heck are you saying? Is this some sort of jokes or what? Carly's my sister? Are you crazy or what?" Reed shouted angrily.
"Listen to me Reed,this is what I've been trying to tell you but you never give me the chance to...I'm sorry it's room too long for me-
"I'm not believing any of this nonsense! I'm out of her-"
"She's saying the truth! I did everything,I took her and Freddie from your mom forcefully when she gave birth to you all....I sold Carly to an orphanage to a couple who's desperately in need of a child for money,My wife was also pregnant at that time but she lost the child due to stress,I switched out dead baby with Freddie and....
"You bastard!" Reed pounced on him and punched him so hard on the face.
"Stop talking....F*cking stop! Stop! I don't wanna hear it,you're just crazy! Stop or I swear I'll kill you right now and here" He growled, throwing punches on his face nonstop.
"Reed please stop!" Aurora tried to separate them but Reed pushed her off angrily.
"Just accept the truth kid... She's your sister...." Lucas grinned annoyingly.
Reed clenched his fist in tears streamed down his throat,he didn't even know when it's started falling,he couldn't control it.
"What the..."
"Please stop...." Aurora held his fist as he made to punch Lucas who's almost unconscious. His face is good as ruin.
Freddie stood on a stop shocked and stunned at the same time. Carly is thier sister? He couldn't believe it too.
"Don't you....ever show your face to me or,I swear I'll kill you and kill myself....,I don't care if you're my real father. I don't need an animal like you as a Dad,I'm dead serious,the next time we crossed paths,one or us is gonna die" He said and left the restaurant.
END OF FLASHBACK*
Flashbacks of all the moment they spend together began hitting hard on him. How they always smile and laugh together,thier cute and hot moment which can be considered to him gross now. He didn't even want to think about it.
His arms were bleeding from the punches he gave Lucas and the numbers of random walls he hit on his way to let out his anger.
"Why her? Why does it have to be you Carly?" He buried his face on his kneels as more tears slipped out.
•••
Carly smiled and checked herself out in the mirror again before rushing out. She got a text from Reed that she should come.
She got to him and hugged him.
"I miss you... Why haven't you been picking my calls and replying my text?" Carly asked but he said nothing
"Hey! Are you okay?" She broke the hug and touch his face.
"We shouldn't be doing this...stop please" He dropped her hand from his face and release her.
"Why? Is something wrong?" She made to touch him again but he immediately stepped back.
"What's the problem? Why are you acting like this?"
"You're my sister Carly,we shouldn't be in a relationship" Reed snapped.
"Your sister? What do you mean? Are you playing pranks on me?" She asked at once.
"I wish I was..."
He then explained everything to her,even before he was done. Carly was already in tears.
"You're joking.....right? Tell me you didn't believe any of what they said....."
"I'm sorry! I've to go...." He got into his car and drove off.
"Reed.... please,come back! Don't leave me...." She cried bitterly.
Mona rushed out of the house cos she heard her cries from inside.
"Tell me all what he said is not true? You're my mum right? Tell me Reed is just playing with me? Please mum, this isn't funny at all....Just stop,I'm going crazy already,I can't be his sister....." Carly cried.
"It's true....." Mona said and Carly's eyes widened.
•••
Alex entered the living room and met Reed staring at pace. That's the only thing he has been doing for the past week,doing nothing and overthinking.
He stood going out, never shows up in school and not even hang out with his friends like he use to.
After founding out the truth about Carly he felt his lost everything with her? He felt his whole world has crumbled.
He hasn't seen her for a week,no calls,no text,they are more like total strangers now.
Rumor has been spreading across the school that they've probably broken up,but no one knows about them being siblings except for Reed and Freddie.
Except for thier friends,if it got out,then it's will be more than embarrassing as f**k.
"Is this how you're going to keep living? You've no plans at all?" Alex asked sitting down.
"What sort of plan is that? Is there a way she can stop being my dàmn sister,can you tell me?" Reed sighed out.
"Do you have anything we can probably use to make things clear like-" Alex looked at him.
"Like?"
Alex stood without a word,he began walking around the room,Reed stared at him as he did,Alex eyes caught a hair brush on the table and he immediately rushed to it.
"Is this Carly's hair? Or yours?" He showed him the hair brush.
"Yh,so what?" Reed replied simply.
"Good.. Now get up,we're going out" He pulled him up.
"I just want to be alone,I'm not in the mood for parties-"
"Dummy! Who said we're going to a club house,just change that thing you call clothes and join me outside" Alex rolled his eyes and walked out.
•••
They are almost done with thier finals exams,most of the students are now preparing for graduation so,it's not as crowdy as it is before.
"Did you hear from Carly? I heard she locked herself in her room and refuse to see anyone" Lavender said and Leah said beside her.
"I wish there's something we can do to change things back to normal? She must hate have us right now"
"Why?"
"We forced her into giving Reed a chance! Now they are both crazy about each other and not ready to let go..." Leah said.
Lavender sighed out too,she suddenly spot Kylan and Joan coming.
"Where are you guys going?"
"To Reed...Who knows what he might to do himself if he's alone?" Kylan answered.
"We'll come with you" Leah said immediately.
"Sure...let's go" Joan said and they all left the school.
"Wait...." Kylan pulled her back,just when they are about to get into the car.
"What?"
"Do you have time tommorow? I've something to tell you...." He said.
Joan nodded.
•••
Carly raised her head from the pillow,and sniff. Anyone who saw her right now will denied it's really her,she look so sick and ugly.
Not the same pretty Carly everyone knows,her hair were all oily and tattered from too much tears.
"I miss you so much Reed! Please come back to me!" She lamented and sniffed,her tummy grumbled loudly.
She hasn't had anything for days,how she's still breathing is a mystery,she look so skinny and unhealthy.
Her eyes caught the trays of food the maids left her long ago and she climb off the bed weakly,she went to it and immediately search for the cutleries.
Luckily she found a fork,she smiled and immediately rushed to the door trying to force it open.
Actually she didn't locked herself up but Mona did,for the past few days,she wouldn't stop trying to go back to Reed and she find it sicken.
She forced it open somehow and got hurt in the process but she cared less,all she want right now is to see him,even if it's just for a while.
She dropped the fork and stormed out of the room.
•••
Alex stopped his car in front of the hospital and Reed look out of the window.
"Why did you bring me here?" Reed asked.
"What else? Are you going to accept it without finding out it's true or not?" Alex rolled his eyes and got down.
Reed said nothing and followed him.
MINUTES LATER*
"Are you ready for the outcome whatever it is?" Alex asked as they walk out of the hospital.
"It's better than just accepting it like a coward,I just hope miracle is somehow real..." He sighed.
"I hope so too..." Alex patted him,his eyes suddenly caught Carly behind them.
"She's here..." He tapped Reed,Reed turned and their gaze locked. Her eyes were all puffed and swollen with tears.
"I should leave you two to talk alone" Alex patted his shoulder and left.
He almost lost himself and hugged her but he control himself.
"What are you doing here?" He asked coldly.
"Really? What am I doing here? How can you turn your back on my like that...Like out love never meant anything to you? Did you ever love me at all? Was it all a joke from the start? You just want to play with me and dump me,you coward! I hate you! How could you do this to me?" She shouted,hitting his chest.
The people passing by,was already staring at them by now.
"Come with me..." He grabbed her hand and dragged her to a corner.
"Let me go,jerk!" She threw his hand off and shot him a glare.
"Don't you understand what's going on? We can't together cos we're....
"Siblings? So what? Do I look like I care about that?" She cut him off.
Reed turned and started walking away. Carly rushed after him and blocked his way,she hugged him forcefully.
"You're not leaving until I'm done talking...Please, don't do this to. What happened to all the promise you made me,are they all lies? You don't mean any of it--"
Reed broke the hug.
"Stop all this nonsense Carly.... I can't even look at you in the face cos I feel stupid for all the sh*t we've done together. It's disgusting to even think about it and you're just making things more hard for me.... Please let me go, let's break...
"Don't finish it,don't! Or I swear I'll die... I'm going to kill myself if you leave me" She threatened and broke into tears.
"Carly....
"I'm serious,I refuse to accept it! You already make me fall more than I imagine,I'm crazy over you Reed...How do you expect me stop this feeling?" She broke down in tears.
Reed squatted in front of her.
"I'm going crazy too,don't things more harder for us" He begged,fighting back his tears.
Carly raised her head and held his face.
"There's no such thing as siblings can't end up together...Let's elope and get married,please I'm gonna die without you..." She cried bitterly.
He already made up his mind for a break up but,seeing her like this,it's break him so much?
"Me too....I don't think I can live without you Kitten!" Reed pulled her to a hug,tight one.
"Then....runaway with me..."
