Chapter 11
Confessions
Evan's POV
Last night just as Charlotte and I were falling asleep I heard her whisper "I love you". My heart skipped a beat to know this amazing woman laying in my arms loves me. She fucking loves me even with all the bullshit I put her through with that slut Brittany and the horrible things I said about her. I was so jealous that I couldn't see she was it for me, I fucked up big time but starting today I'm going to make things right with her. I love her too. I kissed her softly to wake her up and just as expected she kissed me back, damn her lips are so soft I can kiss her all day. I pulled away and starred into her eyes while gently rubbing my hand up and down her back. She smiled at me and said good morning handsome, I replied good morning beautiful. I then got out of bed and took her by the hand and went into the bathroom where I ran her a nice hot soothing bubble bath with lavender and vanilla bath oils. She slowly stripped out of her clothes and got into the tub. I leaned down and kissed her head before leaving to get dressed for the day. I quickly went into another room to shower and shave. After I pulled on some jeans and a fitted t-shirt I went back into our room to check on Char. She was standing over the sink looking as if she was lost in thought I saw tears running down her face, so I wrapped my arms around her from behind and kissed her shoulder whispering in her ear that I loved her too. Her breath hitched for a moment as I turned her in my arms and kissed her deeply pouring all my heart and soul and emotions as we lost ourselves in the moment. We both pull apart breathless while still holding onto each other. "Char I'm so sorry I have been an ass to you please forgive me please let me make this right.. I love you Charlotte Anderson. Baby I'm in love with you, I promise no more lies, no more girls just you and me. I want to be the man you need and want. I want to love you past your pain please take me back Char." She looks at me with tears in her eyes as she nods her head and smashes her lips once more and tell her to get dressed. We have some place important place to be. I leave her to get dressed and go down stairs to talk to my aunt Nina about my plan to get James Anderson away from Char for good. "Hey aunt Nina do you and Saniel got a second?" Sure they both reply. I sit down at the bar while aunt Nina finishes breakfast and Daniel takes a seat next to me. "So you guys know that Charlotte has been abused by her dad." Aunt Nina nods but Daniel chokes on his juice as he yells out what the actual fuck! Just then Char comes downstairs into the kitchen looking concerned. I pull her into my arms and kiss her head before asking if it's ok to talk about what happened. She nods so I continued to explain everything she endured at the hands of her dad. Daniel fucking lost it but calmed down after he saw Charlotte crying. I held her close as she fell apart on my chest. I noticed that my aunt tensed up as I was telling Daniel what all that happened. Daniel pulled aunt Nina close and told her to tell us. She shook her head no and said I can't. Daniel gently urged her to tell us and what she said I never expected.
Nina's POV
"I can't Daniel... I can't relive that horrible night over again. Oh god how to even start. One night while I was in college your mom and I were invited to a party by these two really cute guys. They seemed nice they were on the college football team. We were hanging out having a great time but then I noticed that your mom was all cuddled up to Ashton Blake. He was the one that invited us. He was totally into your mom and she liked him too so they hit it off wonderfully. Then James Anderson, the guy you know as your dad asked me to come up to his room to talk so we could get to know each other better. He said it was too loud downstairs for us to talk. I agreed I didn't think anything of it. When we got up to his room he was a perfect gentleman we laughed and talked a bit then he leaned in to kiss me. I remember thinking man he's a great kisser. He was gentle at first then he began to unbutton my shirt. I told him I was fine with kissing but I didn't want anything beyond that. He told me to relax and enjoy the ride. I pulled away and slapped him across the face god I wish I had just left because after that he hit me so hard that my vision blurred then he proceeded to rip my clothes off he was so much stronger than me but I fought him until another one of the players came in. I begged him to help me but he smirked at me and locked the door." Tears pour down my face as I continue telling them about that night. "James told his friend to hold me down so he could give me the ride of my life, I screamed and begged for them to stop but they didn't, instead they took turns with me one holding me down and the other assaulting me. I don't know how long it went on for I must've passed out because when I woke up James was passed out next to me and his friend was nowhere to be found. I got up and got dressed and left. I went back to my room and sat there crying my eyes out for days until your mom showed up at my door telling me how amazing Ashton was and how sweet and gentle he was with her. She finally took notice and asked why I was so emotional, I told her what happened but she didn't believe me because James had already told them that he slept with me and kicked me out because I was clingy and expected more than being a booty call. She told me to stop being pathetic. I broke my friendship with her that day and went to report the assault to the dean. He told me that he'd look into it. I was harassed daily by the team players little did I know that the dean was married to Jame's aunt and the other guy's dad was the police chief so we can imagine where that went. After weeks and months of harassment I finally dropped out of school and moved back home unfortunately I'm still unable to escape my torment and hell. Later I found out that your mom was pregnant and she and Ashton were so happy to become parents." Wait Charlotte says my mom had another child? "Yes and No, Ashton found out about the assault he wanted to help me but he died in a freak accident at the frat house. He fell off the balcony one night after a party apparently he was drunk and stumbled over. I never believed that I've always suspected that James killed him to protect his reputation. Your mom was so overcome with grief she miscarried. James was right there playing the ever supportive friend until he finally was able to get Sarah to date him. He took away my life, my friends and my reputation. It's taken me 18 years to finally cope with what happened that was until you guys told me what happened to you. Char honey I'm so sorry if only I had been stronger I could've stopped him. I was weak but no more. Come on kids lets go." Where are we going Nina, char asks. "To the police station, there's no statue of limitation on sexual assault so just maybe you and I together can put his ass away for good." "Aunt Nina there's not going to be anything left I'll kill him!" Evan said.
Charlotte's POV
Evan got up and ran out the house to his motorcycle he was so mad that he couldn't crank it. I ran outside behind him as did Nina and Daniel, I grabbed him tightly around the waist and begged him not to leave me as tears streamed down my face. He began to cry and scream out in anger and agony. He got off the bike and lifted me in his arms holding me as we both broke into pieces from all the anguish and pain James Anderson had caused. Evan sat down on the ground with me wrapped around him as we cried together but soon felt arms holding us, we knew it was Nina and Daniel. We finally got up to go report the assaults. The drive was quiet and neither of us spoke. I sat in the back with Evan holding his hand and Nina was in front with Daniel. We drove 15 minutes to the police station once inside and we all approached the police clerk at the front and advised her we wanted to report two assaults carried out by the same person. She said that a detective would be right with us and she took out names before being seated in the lobby. A few minutes later a detective approached us and called us by the name just as we were standing up to head back Nina gasped and dropped her phone while saying "No it's you... it can't be." We looked at the detective who looked just as shocked as Nina then as a switched flipped Evan lunged at the detective as tables went flying he punched the detective and a few times before other officers pulled Evan off of him and cuffed Evan while asking if he was okay and wanted to press charges.
