Sunny pov
After our talk with the officer who's name by the way is Trixie me and Gareth exited the station only to see lights.
There were lights everywhere.But the shocking thing was who was holding the lights.
There were people with cameras and video recorders....others with signs that said..?
Stop abuse!,Violence isn't the answer,Always seek help.
And the one that brought tears to my eyes was the big simple one that just said three words.
Your.Not.Alone!
You have no idea how good it is to know that.
I always thought that if someone was there for me earlier a lot of my pain could've been prevented.That maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad if someone had just been kind enough to help that poor bruised girl in the corner.
'But there was someone.'My heart tells me.
'Shut up Heart!We both know thinking about him will only lead to pain.'
Wait..Am I really having a conversation with myself?!
Maybe I AM crazy...But aren't we all?
"Hey Sunshine!Are you really abused?!"someone yells.
"Yeah!And why didn't you get help sooner?!"
"Are you alright?"
"Oh my god!She's even more pretty in person!"
Wow!I have to say I was not expecting this.
I glance at Gareth.He raises his eyebrows at me in a 'whatever you want' gesture.
I smile a thank you at him.Then I clear my throat to get their attention.
How do public speakers do it?!Sheesh it's unnerving having so many eyes on you!
"Well,um to answer the question you all are wondering...yes I am abused."I whisper.
I wonder what gave me the courage to say that....
"Are you okay?"
I open my mouth to say the classic of course.But whats comes out surely isn't what I expected!Or what anyone did for that matter.
"That's honestly such a stupid and complex question.Of course i'm NOT okay!After what i've been through I doubt you would be either.But will I be okay?Yes."
It becomes quiet for a while.Until they open their mouths to speak again.
Don't they ever get tired of asking questions?!
"Why didn't you seek help sooner?"someone asked.
There were some yeah's echoed.
I froze.Then thought about it."Honestly?I was scared and...I didn't think anyone would actually want to help me."
Oh boy!Shouldn't have said that..It brought along a whole other bunch of questions and sympathies which I didn't need.
I looked at Gareth pleadingly.
He nodded getting the message and turned back to the crowd asking them to leave."She's had a long day and does NOT need this right now.So please leave before I call security."He motions to the four serious and buff men waiting to step in if it got too bad.
I guess I wasn't the only one who found them intimidating because they quickly scuttled like rats after cheese.
I know,I know!Not a good comparison but trust me you would probably agree with me if you were here.
"Thanks!"I told him.And I meant it."It was getting kinda overwhelming."
"Ugh!You should be excited!You were on TV!!!Why can't I be on tv?!"
Figures Gareth would turn this into a missed fame opportunity.
"Don't worry."I assure him."I'm sure I'll be on tv for awhile."
Being in such a small town,small news?Pish!That stuff is huge!!!
So for such a big named family who was known all around and had a lot of influence this was probably equal to the world ending.
Okay!Maybe not thaaaat big;but you get my point!
I froze when I heard their familiar voices.
Speak of the devil and they shall appear!Well think actually.
Mother was livid and dad?He seemed oblivious!!!Way to hangover to even know who he was!
"Helena!Stop screaming so much!I.AM.TRYING.TO.SLEEP!!!"he says collapsing on one of the guards.
The officer he collapsed on glared at him as they rolled onto the grass.
"Hey kid!"
I looked up and met eyes with Officer Daniels.Another friendly guy I met while here.
"Uh..Seeing as you're not 18,Child Social Services will be here in a little to have a talk with you and all that."
"So she can't stay with me?"
"Sorry son.But I doubt that."
I stared at the ground."Hey kid?Cheer up!I happen to know the lady assigned to you."
"You do?"I questioned.
"Y-yeah!She's uh..nice."Was it just me or was his ears slightly pink.
"Okay."I sighed.
My parents were practically dragged inside for questioning.
My mother managed to yell one thing at me though...And it's been eating at me for the past few minutes.
"We're gonna get you back!!!This IS FAR from over.So don't even think about smiling,because it won't be long before you're crying again!!You pathetic little-"
Her profanities and name calling was cut off by one of the officers covering her mouth.He threw me an apologetic look over his shoulder.
But I barely noticed.
I swear my heart just stopped beating.
