Author's Notes:
All characters in the story are 18 and older. This is a story about incest between a brother and a sister. If that's not what you are here for, I suggest you not read any further. Also, to understand what is going on, I suggest you start from chapter 1 if you just found this story.
I would also like to thank cbears52 for his help and getting this chapter back to me super quick and 1moeannie for taking extra time out of her hectic schedule to provide valuable feedback and editing.
Happy reading!

Chapter 3
"I'm sorry, Beth, please forgive me, I know I was an asshole, but I've changed." Brad begged.
"Yeah, into nothing but a bigger asshole, Brad."
"Why are you acting this way?" Brad tried a different approach, using a softer voice.
"You know why because I'm tired of your bullshit and your constant lying. I don't have time to do this with you. I have to get back to work, so please leave me alone."
"So, what's his fucking name?" Brad demanded angrily.
"What are you talking about, Brad?" Beth responded with mock innocence.
"You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. Don't play stupid with me, Beth. Who are you fucking, and what is his name?" Brad hissed, letting his anger get the better of him.
"It's none of your business if I'm fucking somebody or not, and I wouldn't tell you if I was," Beth smirked.
"When I find out who he is, I'm going to fuck him up. So whoever he is, you better keep him hidden," Brad whispered into Beth's ear and walked off.
"What a fucking asshole," I agreed after hearing Beth tell me what took place at work earlier in the day.
"I know he's just mad I won't take him back, and probably his father told him I was quitting. It's not my fault he was kicked out of school for drinking. He needs to go to rehab."
"Why don't you just tell your job you can't work anymore, and you will not be coming back? I have enough money saved to float you for a few weeks, and we can get you moved over there, so you can get settled." I was becoming concerned with what Brad might do before she was able to leave.
"I don't want you to use all your money to support me. I would feel awful."
"Who cares? It's not like you won't pay me back with all the extra money you will be making. It will also give us some alone time for a few days. My next show is only fifty minutes from the city."
"Yeah, you're right, fuck that place. Nobody is talking to me anymore because I'm leaving, and with Brad hanging around, I really just want to move on with my life," she looked at me for reassurance.
"Dinner's ready; come eat," Mom called from the kitchen.
Beth repeated the story she told me earlier over dinner to our parents. They understood and offered to help her get a moving truck the following day. After our parents went to bed for the rest of the evening, Beth and I spent hours searching the internet and looking at different apartments. Finally, narrowing it down to two choices, we decided it would be best to make the trip over and look at both of them in person.
"I really love the one downtown. I wish it was a little bigger," Beth said.
"Yeah, me too. I want to look at both places, but I think that's the one we should go with. Yes, the other one has more of a homelike feel to it, but I worry people will be too nosey. The one downtown, people tend to keep to themselves and not worry about what the other tenants are doing, which we need for our relationship." It was a valid point.
"Well, let's just go with that one, then. It's not like we're buying the place. We can do a year lease, and if we don't like it, we'll move."
"Are you sure?" I wanted Beth to feel like she had a say in where we lived.
"Yup. I'll call them in the morning and make sure that particular apartment is the one we're going to get. It probably is since there are different pictures for each of the available apartments, but just to be on the safe side."
"We have a long day tomorrow. We should get some much-needed sleep, and I'm exhausted." I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes.
"Yeah, you're right. I love you, baby," her eyes looked weary after bending over and giving me a peck on the lips.
"Love you too, goodnight."
The silence in the room was eerie like I was in a strange place and knew no one. Why did I feel that way? I fought those thoughts half the night before getting up and making my way into the kitchen.
"She's asleep, and you need to leave her alone. I know your fucking her, and I will catch you in the act," my mother's voice was low and deep as she spoke to me in a way she never had as I reached for the cabinet door.
"What the hell? You scared the hell out of me, and we are not fucking. Why do you keep thinking that?" Feeling the pressure in my chest start to build and tighten the more she spoke to me.
"When are you going to wake up... and realize I'm not stupid?" Mom's voice seemed to carry throughout the house.
"I didn't say that," I muttered.
"Wake up, Owen, and smell the roses because you will pay for your sins."
"Is this what a heart attack feels like?" I thought, feeling my chest tighten and my breathing become erratic.
"Wake up... Owen, you're scaring me. Wake up," Beth called out to me loudly, pulling me from the nightmare I was in.
