Addison fought me the whole drive over to the family estate, but she did so in a quiet way that isn’t quite on brand for her. Either she was changing tactics, or she simply knew there was no way she was going to talk me out of it. Knowing her, I’m surprised she didn’t go behind my back and warn Emily what was about to happen. Deep down, I think she knows better. I think she knows that this is exactly what Emily needs.

Addison and I stand before my parents in one of their many living rooms, the large formal one towards the back of the first floor of the mansion. Why anybody needs multiple living rooms is outside my scope of reasoning, but rich people are weird.

The look of disdain on both of their faces is priceless. If I’m sure of anything in the world, it’s that they hate Addison with the passion of a thousand suns. They really should just kill her but for some reason, they don’t. I’m going to get to the bottom of that mystery soon enough, but first, we need to talk about Emily.

My palms are sweaty as I rub them together, unsure of how to even say the words. Directly between the chairs my parents sit in is an end table. On that end table is Carter’s senior photo. Every time I move, from every angle, it’s like his eyes are moving too. They follow me everywhere I go, accusing me of betrayal. He’s the one that did this, though. His actions tore this family apart and ruined the lives of so many.

I know that my parents are equally as shitty as Carter was, but when I look down into their eyes, I’m hit with a sting of pain in the heart. I don’t want to break this news to them. Nobody deserves to find out that their own son was a rapist, especially not when it’s their other child that was the victim. I almost lose my nerve and back out until my father demands to know why I called this meeting, and more specifically why Addison is here too.

“It’s about Carter,” I say softly, hoping that the tenor of my voice will help smooth things over. “There’s something you should know about him and it’s not going to be easy to hear.”

Mother looks to Addison accusingly and then back to me. “I’m sure there’s nothing that you could tell us that would shock us, but ask yourself first if it’s something we really need to hear.”

Addison moves her lips as if she’s about to speak, but she draws back, bowing her head.

“Mother, we talked about this already. Do you remember when you slapped me because of what I had said about Carter?”

“We are not doing this,” she seethes between gritted teeth. “If this is what you came here to talk about then you know where the door is.”

“You can’t run from the truth forever.” My throat tightens, feels like there’s sand lodged in my windpipe.
