Hiding In My Tears

Chapter 3

Above is Riley

Andrea

As soon as the last bell of the day rang I met up with my friends in the parking lot. We all got into Vicky's SUV and drove down to her house. Us girls already have clothes there we can wear and the boys always have a change of clothes because most of the time we stay at Vicky's house.

As we pulled up to her house I can believe how beautiful it is. It's a three story white house with a wrap around porch. The have stone path leading up and their front yard is filled with roses and tulips.

As we climb out of the car I see Mrs. Copper in the front yard gardening. "Hey mom," Vicky says as we walked up the path to the front door. "Let me guess another movie night sleepover?" She asked and we all nod our heads like crazy. We walk in and we bolt up to her room. Her room is a really big room with black and blue walls, band posters, a desk, tv and bean bags, and her huge walk in closet and bathroom.

I plop down on the dark purple bean bag she has and let out a long sigh. Everyone else sits down either on the floor or on a bean bag. "Hey Andrea can I ask you something?" Oscar asked and I nodded. "Why was the word SLUT craved on your leg when I found you behind the bleachers?" By now they were all looking at me with both worried and scared faces. And I, well I was having a panic attack.

I couldn't breath and all I could thing of was the worst things ever. What if they found out? What if they helped him and didn't care about me? What if my dad figures out they know? He'll probably beat me to death. As all these really bad things popped in my head my friends were trying to get me to stop panicking.

But it was to late. I already was in a corner, curled up into a ball and memories of my past came into my head.

Amber

As soon as that question was put into all of us snapped our heads to Andrea. She started to breath really heavy and I knew what was happening. "She's having a panic attack," Riley, Vicky, and I said in unison. The boys looked at us like we were crazy. I heard a silent whimpering and saw Andrea curled into a ball in the corner, whispering something.

"Please stop, don't hurt me, it wasn't my fault," she kept saying over and over again while rocking herself back and forth. I walked over there and kneeled in front of her. "Hey Andrea it's Amber, no one's is gonna hurt you," I whispered softly. She lifted her head and I opened my arms for a hug slowly.

She shifted and returned the gesture with a very tight hug and tears streaming down her face. Soon there was another pair of arms around us. And then another. Pretty soon it was the five of us comforting our friend.

When we pulled away Andrea had stopped crying. "I'm gonna go clean myself up," she said and she walked into the bathroom. Weirdly she grabbed her backpack but I just thought it was her time of the month.

Andrea

I walked into the bathroom and couldn't believe what I just done. They saw my weak side. The side I only show to my father.

Daddy's not gonna like that now is he. He'll get Jake to punish you even more.

I shivered at that thought. Hake was supposedly my 'boyfriend.' He works with my dad so he can also punish me. I don't even want to get started with what he does to me.

Anyway I cleaned up and walked back into the room with all my friends.

**********

"Alec get you ice cream stealing butt back here!" Amber screamed at her twin brother. Ok let's explain how we got here. So we were about to play true or dare when Alec suddenly ran out of the room. He came back with Amber's ice cream and your all caught up.

Alec ran for his life until Xavier cought her by the waist and held her up. She immediately stopped running and blushes bright red.

Riley, Vicky, and I all smirked at each other. Looks like little Amber has a crush. So Xavier put her down and we all sat in a circle. "Andy true or dare?" Alec asked.

I thought about and chicken out of doing dare for the first round so, "true," I said.

"Ok what do your parents do for a living?" He asked

Oh shit
