It was finally the first day of her senior year. A day she had been waiting for far too long. Senior year was something most, if not all, high school students look forward to but Myra was different from them. She was 19, almost 20, and should have graduated last year with all her friends. Instead, a horrible car accident at the beginning of her junior year left her in and out of hospitals for surgeries and practically living at her physical therapist's office which meant she got so behind in school that she was required to repeat the school year. While Myra entered her junior year a popular soccer star surrounded by friends and a loving boyfriend, she ended it a depressed and crippled girl with no friends who got made fun of constantly. Apparently having scars up and down her body and a limp, when she walked, meant she was no longer pretty in the eyes of her peers, and being the oldest person in her grade resulted in plenty of teasing and name-calling. High school sucked.
As she woke up that first morning of school, her hip screamed in pain and her mood was no better. The one saving grace she had was that her brother had landed a job at her high school as the new English teacher. Most kids her age would hate having their big brother as a teacher or even at their high school but Myra was more than happy for the friendly face. Her brother, Keaton, was 9 years older than her (she wasn't exactly a planned baby). He was tall at 6'2 especially when compared to her 5'4 frame and he had sandy blonde hair that was always in a perfect mess. His eyes matched her emerald green color and his body was strong and fit from working out every other day. Myra had had a crush on her big brother for as long as she could remember. Just another thing that set her apart from anybody else. Not that she told anybody about her crush but it still made her feel so much different. She knew it wasn't normal and it was wrong but it wasn't like anything had ever happened between them nor would it. Keaton was smart, charismatic, hot, popular, and just an all-around good person. He would never look at her the way she looked at him. He wasn't messed up like she was. Even if he may have before, now that her body was mutilated, there was no way he or any other guy would ever find her attractive.
A loud bang on her door jolted her back from the depressing path her thoughts had traveled down. A glance at her phone told her she needed to get her ass out of bed if she was going to make it to school in time. Slowly she pulled herself out of bed ignoring the pain shooting down her leg and headed to the shower. She quickly washed her short auburn hair, soaped up her body with her eyes closed to avoid seeing her scars, and was out of the shower in less than 10 minutes. It wasn't that long ago that she would spend 30 minutes in the shower and another 30 picking out her outfit with careful thought and effort. Her makeup was always perfectly applied and her hair styled nicely. Since her accident, Myra had started to care less and less what she looked like. She knew nobody would ever look at her the same and no amount of makeup could cover up her limp so why bother? Instead, she reached into her closet and pulled out a simple v neck tee shirt, a plain pair of jeans and slipped into a pair of converse shoes. She didn't bother with makeup and her hair was left to air-dry into its natural shoulder-length wave. She stuffed her notebook and textbooks into her bag along with her Kindle and was out the door less than 20 minutes later.
As the day moved forward and the afternoon sun was high in the sky, she was exhausted, grumpy, and fed up. When she finally made it to her last class of the day which was English with her brother, she just wanted to fling herself into his arms for a hug. Knowing that this would just cause her more problems with the other students though, she refrained and gave him a small smile as she made it to her desk instead. She knew by the look on his face that he was worried about her and wanted to come say something. She gave a small shake of her head and mouth "after class" to let him know that they would talk later. Just being in Keaton's presence had lifted her mood and allowed her to enjoy a class for the first time. Their dad had been a huge book nerd and passed on his love of anything and everything English before he had died a few years back. It was something that had bonded the siblings together and they often passed new novels back and forth and could easily spend hours discussing them.
As Keaton...or Mr. Hart as everybody else knew him...talked about their reading list for the year Myra smiled knowing that many of them had been at her suggestion or request. They had spent days together going over the list of approved novels from the curriculum and he let her have the final say on which novels he added to their reading list. One of the best things about her brother was that he always treated her like her opinion mattered and that she was important. Even before her accident, all anybody saw when they looked at her was DD breasts, a small waist, and a nice ass. She always felt like she had to hide the fact that she was smart for people to like her so while she had maintained good grades, she kept her mouth shut on any topic that went deeper than the decorations at prom or who the hottest football player was. Now that her body was no longer perfect and she had no friends, there was no reason to hide her nerdy side and for that reason, she felt like she and Keaton had grown even closer.
When class wrapped up an hour later, she took her time putting her things away in her bag as she waited for the room to empty. When they were finally alone, Myra wasted no time in barreling herself into her big brother's arm and inhaling the intoxicating smell that clung to his chest. For a few moments, he held her and her problems and pain seemed to fade into the far recesses of her mind. The only thing she cared about at that moment was the feel of his strong arms around her body and the way his fingers gently massaged her scalp as he held her close to him. He didn't say a word and didn't ask what was wrong, knowing she would speak when and if she was ready. Concern was etched deep into his eyes but he kept his mouth shut. Standing there holding his sister, he fought the urge to go and kick somebody's ass. He wasn't sure who exactly but he was willing to beat every single asshole kid in this school that made fun of his sister. Most of the students knew who he was and the relation between the two so they wisely kept their mouths shut when they thought he could hear them. That didn't stop Keaton from picking up on the whispers and gestures they made at her expense.
All-day he had wanted to storm down to his boss's office and demand they do something about it. Reality prevented him from doing so though because he knew there was nothing they could or would do. He felt himself grow angrier and angrier at the situation. Myra had no idea how beautiful she was despite her injury and these ignorant teenagers just made her feel worse about herself every day. If Keaton was honest with himself, he thought she was even more beautiful now than she had been. He loved seeing her true self in her jeans and no makeup. Before, she had caked herself in layers of crap that hid who she really was and made her feel like she had to play a part in order to be liked. While he hated seeing her sad and in pain all the time, he loved seeing her embrace her own mind and open herself up to all that she was capable of.
As Keaton stood there holding Myra, he fought the feelings that had been growing inside him for the last two years. His whole life he saw Myra as his baby sister and nothing more. He loved her to pieces and they had always been close but to him, she was a kid and always would be..or so he thought. As they grew even closer after her accident though, he found himself struggling as his emotions changed into something different. She had been forced to mature so much so quickly and he had begun to see her as a woman instead of a little girl. Once that started, he also found himself noticing that she had a woman's body as well. Her legs were long, her ass was round, her breast looked like they would fit perfectly in his hands. Fuck, he needed to stop thinking like this!
Myra was startled when Keaton suddenly dropped his arms and pushed her back from him. He said nothing as he rounded his desk and sat down quickly leaving her confused and sad. Had she done something wrong? Could he tell what she was thinking and feeling about him and had pushed her away in disgust? Her mind raced as she stood there waiting for him to speak.
"I probably shouldn't be seen hugging a student; even if you are my sister." He said by way of explanation even though they both knew it was a load of crap. "I have a lot to do right now but I'll be home shortly after work and bring you some dinner, okay?" Keaton felt like an asshole for turning her away when she needed him but the growing erection in his pants told him he needed her far, far away at the moment.
"Yeah, okay. See you." Myra gave him a small wave and left the room as quickly as her limp would allow. The rejection from her own brother weighed heavy on her chest. She just wanted to crawl into bed and cry herself to sleep. Instead, she slowly made her way out of the school and headed to her standing physical therapy appointment for her weekly torture.
Myra woke to the smell of Chinese take out and Keaton's calming voice saying her name. His hand rested on her bare thigh and shook her gently awake. She kept her eyes shut and pretended to sleep for a few moments longer in order to savor the feeling of his strong calloused hand on her body, even if it was an innocent touch. Keaton was the one person she didn't have to worry about her scars with, so even though she wore a pair of cotton shorts, she didn't feel the need to pull the blanket over her legs and hide. He had never judged her and even though he wouldn't ever look at her the way she wanted, she never had to worry about disgusted looks or even the pity that many older adults eye shone within her presence.
He shook her leg again, repeating her name and making her heart beat faster. Her thigh burned at his touch in a way that ignited every nerve in her body. The one time the pain was bearable was when his hands were on her in any way. It was as if the lust overpowered the pain and blocked it from her mind. She wanted to feel his hands on her constantly for that reason and so many more, even if the touch was completely innocent.
She opened her eyes slowly and drank in the sight of her big brother. Despite seeing him almost every day, she was still constantly struck with how handsome he was. The whispers in the halls today from every girl she passed just confirmed what she already knew; her brother was hot.
Keaton struggled to not move his hand up his sister's leg any further. Her skin felt like velvet under his touch and he wanted nothing more than to run his hands over her entire body, scars and all. When he first got to the house and found her asleep in her bed, his instinct was to climb in with her and wrap his body around hers. She had looked so peaceful lying there with her soft, wavy hair fanned out over her pillow, and her leg hitched up to the side. It would have been so easy to slide his fingers between her legs and slip them past her loose cotton shorts. He knew for a fact that she never wore underwear unless she was wearing jeans so his access would have been nice and easy. The stirring in his pants jolted him out of his fantasy and he forced himself to clear his mind of the forbidden thoughts.
