Can she keep it a secret?

Chapter 4

"So Valeria, since we are going to share a room, do you mind if we get to know each other?" he asked in his sweet boy voice.

"Yeah of course, what do you want to know" I answered, meeting his eyes.

" Well if you don't mind me asking; why are you here?" My eyes looked away, staring at the door, I really didn't want to answear that.

"Valeria, don't do that. Don't look away, please" I could hear the concern and kindness in his voice. I slowly returned my gace towards him.

"I fell down the stairs" I answered, still not completely meeting his eyes.

"That's a massive lie, and as I told you, it doesn't suit you"

"Well I fell down 10 stairs" I really suck at this lying thing.

"Okay if you don't wanna answer me, than it's fine, but just know I'm here to listen alright?" I noded a 'thank you'.

"Well why are you here?" I asked, to keep our little conversation up.

"I was involved in a car accident. I was driving from my friend's house, when a blue Volvo came in really high speed. It hit me in the back of my motorcycle and I lost control, going right out of the road. And now I am here, with a broken leg and a broken arm" it seemed like he was always smiling, and it made me happy, just seeing him smile.

"My turn" he said,interrupting my thoughts. "What's your boyfriend's name?"

I didn't answere right away. Why did he think that I had a boyfriend? "I don't have a boyfriend" I replied, still not meeting his eyes completely.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought a beautiful girl like you, would have a boyfriend. Really sorry for asking"

Oh no, please don't tell me he is hitting on me? I really can't handle that right now. I was about to say something, but he beat me to it...

"Oh, sorry I'm not hitting on you, I just think that you are beautiful, that's all. Don't you worry, I wouldn't hit on you while you are so vulnerable as you are now. Oh God! Sorry this is coming out so wrong..."

Did he just read my thoughts? that was weird. "You know that you are saying 'sorry' very much, you know that right?"

"Oh sor... I apologize" He quickly changed the word he was gonna say, I got quite amused by this and I couldn't keep a little laugh from escaping my lips, I told him that it was fine. He returned the laugh, and we started talking. We talked about everything, like everything from why the moon was white to how many different laughs that existed.

I forgot all my problem for a while, and he was so easy to talk to. I also found out that he knew A LOT! And he had experinced very much in his life. He had tried jetski, cliff jumping, parachuted, gone to the biggest mountain in Austria and snowboarded down from the top of it. It really sounded like he was happy, he always smiled, always knew what to say to make me happy. He was just amazing.

Knock...Knock...Knock....

The door opened, revealing two tall officers. "Are you miss. Johnson?" The dark haird officer asked. Trevor looked at me confused, but I couldn't meet his eyes, so I just kept staring at the officers.

"Depends who's asking" I answered, a bit snappy but I din't care, the only thing that went through my mind was my father. 

"I know this is hard for you, but we have to ask a few questions, if that's alright?" I felt my heart going really fast, my hole body shaking. The only thing I could see was my father beating the crap out of my mum, his awful smile replaying in my mind.

"SHE'S GOING INTO SHOCK!" one of the officers yelled into the hallway.

"This is Dr.Brown, listen to me very careful now" he waited for my reply, but the only thing I managed to do, was giving him a slow nod.

"You are now going to take some deep breaths, you are going to think about good things and good things only, block everything about your father out of your mind." I did as I was told, and the heart monitor slowly went slower, till it was at a normal stage.

"We are really sorry miss. Johnson, we can come back later..." the officers started to walk away, but I just cut them off by telling them that I just wanted to get this overwith.

"If you don't feel comfortable answering some of the question, just let us know, and we will not push you, do you understand?" I nodded a 'yes' prepearing for the worst.

POV: Trevor (Trevor Reed)gutt - kreft

What the hell was happening? Suddenly two officers came in, and then she goes into shock and then they are going to have an interrogation? There were obviously a big part she hadn't told me, but I guss I'm about to find out.

"How does your father look like?" one of them asked. She answered them, still not looking at me.

"How long have this been going on?" What 'this'? was he talking about?!

"Uhm" she started, she looked so vulnerable, I hated seeing her like this. " on and off in about 8 years, we've escaped him for a few years, but he has always been able to find us again" she answered. I really wasn't sure if I wanted to hear this, but I was hell not gonna walk away from her.

They asked her a few questions about where and when, and she answered them all. The officers looked at each other, obvioulsy having a secret conversation. The dark hairet officer turned towards Valeria again.

"Miss. Johnson" he started..."have your father ever raped you or your mother?" she didn't answer right away. I was hoping that the answer was no, I was fucking begging for the answer to be no.

"Yes he have, but he used protection on me, because he didn't want anything that could be evidence" I couldn't belive what she was saying. It was awful! how could anybody do that to her?! he still hadn't looked at me once.

"I'm really sorry....have he ever assulted you in any other way?" the other officer asked. I just wanted this to stop, I could see all the pain it was inflicting her. Her eyes was red and swallen and she was crying.

"Yes" she took her arms up from under her cover. It was burn marks. IT WAS FUCKING BURN MARKS! 

Finally she took a quick glance in my direction, but turned away instantly when she saw my hurt expression.

"Have the injuries ever been so bad that you had to go to a hospital? except this time"

"Yes they have, but he didn't let me go to the hospital, so I always had to fix it myself, when he dislocated my shoulder"

"Well we don't have any more questions for now, but we'll be back. I'm really sorry miss.Johnson...we are going to get him, I promise you" the officers left, and I wanted to say something, anything, but I couldn't.

She was so strong! I felt broken, just looking at her. I had to do something, she needed me!
