It had finally happened. After months of maintaining a secret relationship with her brother's bully, Jesse, they had finally been found out. Kaitlyn had felt like it was an inevitability; ever since their first encounter, she and Jesse had been pushing the envelope and playing with fire. While she had started their arrangement with the best of intentions, protecting Oliver from his tormentors, her feelings had begun to spiral out of control.
As the world came crashing down around her, Kaitlyn felt in shock. While it had been a month since Oliver had caught her and Jesse in the Britannia Heights University library, Kaitlyn couldn't help but relive that day over and over in her mind. The look of horror on Oliver's face as he gazed upon his sister; her face covered in what little remained of Jesse's cum that she could not wipe off, had been burned into her brain. In a matter of seconds, her twin brother's expression seemingly went from confusion, to denial and settling on anger. It had been the look of complete betrayal that she had feared: when her brother would see the only person he trusted in the world with the person he hated most.
Kaitlyn's imagination ran wild as to what he thought at that moment. Had she known or condoned Jesse's tormenting of him? Did Jesse's friends know, and would this be a new tool he could use to humiliate Oliver? It was easy for her to know what would run through Oliver's head. She had so often been his confidant and knew best how his anxiety would manifest itself. But, what could she do? If she told Oliver the truth, he would be even more devastated. Kaitlyn herself had opened Pandora's box, and she would have to face the consequences of her actions.
Jesse had even tried to step in and defuse the situation; coming to Kaitlyn's aid.
"Listen, like I said I don't want to give you any shit. We were just-" Jesse began to say before Oliver cut him off; his eyes burning bright with rage like embers pulled from the heart of a fire.
"You were just what? Fucking?" Oliver said, his voice quivering with anger as it continued to rise in volume. Turning his attention to Kaitlyn, his face contorted as if pained. "You were fucking that piece of shit of ALL people?"
If Kaitlyn and Jesse had chosen their location to be somewhat discreet, that was quickly being thrown out the window. Even as she struggled to find words, any words that she could use to defend herself, Oliver continued, "I knew you were seeing someone, but it all makes sense why you were hiding it from me. What the fuck did he do to you to make you do this? The Katie I know would never degrade herself by hooking up with-"
"Lower your fucking voice," Jesse snapped, his eyes now matching Oliver's intensity. The body language though was completely different; while Oliver's was like a wounded animal trying to lash out, Jesse's was more defensive. He even went so far as stepping into the row of books, between the siblings. "Do you want the entire library to see her like this?"
Without warning, Oliver struck out, punching Jesse square in the face. The tall man's head snapped back from the sudden shock. There was no pain on his face, only a look of surprise. Kaitlyn could see a vein bulging in Jesse's neck, his eyes flaring with anger for a moment - and it seemed for a moment as though the old Jesse would re-emerge. But with a slow, deep breath, his anger dissipated.
"Ollie, I get your pissed off, but if you do that again it won't end well for you," Jesse said, his voice firm. It was a tone that she had heard so many times; one that was deep, booming, and filled with authority. The voice and tone that had so often dominated her. Oliver's eyes remained icy cold, and it was a look that spoke to a single fact: that his rage at the situation far outweighed his fear of Jesse.
Her brother's mouth opened as if he were about to speak, but hesitated for just a moment before it twisted into a sneer. Without a word, he turned on his heels and stormed towards the exit, a rising din of murmurs echoing from their fellow students who had begun to approach the source of the commotion.
"What's going on over here?" an authoritative voice called out, the sounds of footsteps scratching along the ground coming ever closer to the scene. Jesse's eyes widened, before gesturing towards the approaching onlookers.
"Wipe your face with your sleeve, and I'll stop anyone coming after you. Just walk fast, and I'll bring you your bag after," Jesse said, before quickly planting a kiss on her lips. "Go!"
With that, she hurried through the library; hastily wiping her face as best she could for the remaining cum and hiding her crimson face from those who had come towards the stack. Tears began to well up in her eyes as her fear and the feeling of humiliation began to fester within her chest. A small relief existed as well, a relief that the truth had come out, however, not on her terms. Oliver had long since disappeared as she hurried out of the library, no other students seemingly paying any attention to her. While her face had been mostly cleaned, leaving her sleeve a sticky, wet mess, Kaitlyn did not want to give others a chance to more thoroughly inspect her.
Over the next few days, Kaitlyn had heard rumours of a couple having sex in the campus library. Then, the rumors became more specific: that the man caught in the library was Jesse Campbell. She was not surprised that he was recognized; he was the president of the most popular fraternity on campus, was an athlete for the University's team, and was known by almost every student and faculty member.
Thankfully, the rumours did not progress any further. Of course, some speculated about the identity of his partner. Many believed it to be a sorority girl, while others claimed it was a professor. Regardless of how outlandish these rumors became, at no point was the name "Kaitlyn Grant" mentioned. News continued to trickle out from the aftermath, such as Jesse's interrogation by the Dean of the University, and how he refused to admit who his companion was. What shocked her the most though, was news about Jesse being placed on academic probation for his part in the scandal. It was only due to his status among the school community, that it was the extent of his punishment.
As the flurry of gossip began to die down over the following weeks, campus life had begun to slowly sink back into the beauty of routine.
Although, her home life certainly hadn't.
If their relationship had been strained before, things between Kaitlyn and Oliver had become outright hostile after the library incident. Whenever they passed one another at home, whenever their parents asked about their day, Oliver always had a snide comment.
Whore
Traitor
Words and thoughts that he never outright said, but were always hidden beneath the surface. Implications that she could not be trusted, that they were no longer family. Things that not only cut deep but clearly shook their parents. After one particularly difficult night, where Oliver simply refused to eat dinner with the family, their father had had enough.
