Page 42 of Loving Jamie

With an extra powerful hit the front door creaks before it slams against the wall.

“JAMIE! Where the fuck are you?” A female voice screams in the hallway.

My knees threaten to drop as I hold my shaking body up against the counter. Oh, Holy shit! “It’s only Sarah. My sister.”

As soon as my 5ft 3 twin sister walks through the kitchen doorway she freezes. Brown eyes identical to mine look at the three of us. Justin and William quickly use their hands to cover up their dangly bits.

“Sarah.” I offer her a sheepish smile.

“Where the fuck have you been? I’ve been trying to ring you for the past twenty-four hours!” She glares at me as she speaks. She shakes her head before continuing, “Well at least I know you're still alive.”

She looks at my men and her mouth twitches into a smirk. “How about the two of you get dressed and meet us in the living room?”

And then she turns around and struts towards the coffee machine, leaving the three of us looking at each other. As soon as I hear the coffee machine buzzing in the kitchen, I can’t stop the laughter from bubbling out of my throat.

“I suppose you should get dressed. She’s not going to be leaving anytime soon, so I guess it’s time for you to meet my sister.”

A few minutes later the two of them shuffle into the living room to see Sarah chilling on the swivel chair with a mug in her hands. “Good, you’re all here. I’m Sarah, Jamie’s older sister,” she looks at William and asks, “Which one are you?”

I roll my eyes and drag my Daddies towards the sofa. “You’re two minutes older, Sarah.”

As soon as we sit down, William turns to my sister and says, “I’m William Smith, it’s nice to meet you.”

She hums before turning to Justin and says, “So you must be Justin? Jude’solderbrother.”

Justin chokes on his drink. Droplets of coffee drip down his chin.

Sarah looks at me with a twinkle in her eyes as we both say, “Gross.” Justin’s cheeks redden slightly as Sarah and I snort a laugh at each other.

After wiping his face, he gives me the stink eye before turning to my sister. “Yes, my name is Justin and I am Jude’s older brother.”

My sister holds her head high as she asks, “You both treating my brother well? Treating him the way he deserves?”

My men look at me and I smile at them. They both turn to Sarah and nod. “Yeah, we are. We love him.”

Sarah nods her head like a proud mother, a happy smile on her beautiful face.

We all sit in silence for a few moments and I know that we need to talk about the elephant in the room.

My guys must be able to tell the moment I tense up because they both wrap their arms around me and squeeze me tight, two soft kisses are pressed to the side of my head.

Sarah puts her coffee mug on the table in front of her and takes a deep breath. “Do they know?”

I nod my head.

“Are you ready to talk about it?”

No. But I know I have to.

I run my hands over my face knowing at least two of us are going to end up in tears. Sarah knows the story of what happened and how I escaped but my Daddies don’t know how I managed to break free.

“Uh yeah. I guess we should talk about it.” I look at my men and the love shines bright in both of their eyes.

“So, you both know pretty much most of what happened between me and Damian, but I never told you how I managed to escape from him. It was towards the end of 2018; Damian had just finished punishing me for something I can’t even remember. Whenever he hurt me, he pushed it further each time. The last time he ever hurt me I was convinced I was going to die, either from the pain from the whip or from the blood loss. When he was finished, he left the apartment and I lay on the floor, naked in a puddle of my own blood. I don’t know how long I lay on the floor before I managed to drag my body to the kitchen. I always kept a damp bath towel in the bottom of the freezer so I could lay on it to numb the cuts on my back when I couldn’t reach them.”

Gentle fingers comb through my hair, I look at William and he offers me a sad smile. But when I look at Justin, I see his face has gone white and his eyes are screwed close.

I know he carries the guilt about what happened with Jude. “Are you sure you want to hear this? I promise everything works out in the end but I understand if you need to leave?”
