I hurried to get dressed and I told Seth to hurry. I went to answer the door.

Cora: Hello...mom...

Cora mother: Hello Sweetie.

Cora: You can come in.

Me and my mother walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

Cora Mother: So is Seth here?

Cora: Yeah...he's in the bedroom...

Cora Mother: Why is he not out here then?

Cora: He's probably getting ready for work.

Seth walked out of the bedroom and headed down to the living room.

Seth: Hello.

Cora Mother: Hello.

Seth: I have to go to work. You ladies have a good time.

Cora: Bye Seth.

Cora Mother: So...What is happening between you and Seth.

Cora: What do you mean?

Cora Mother: I can tell that you are having a hard time.

Cora: It's nothing serious.

Cora Mother: You can tell me.

Cora: Why would I tell you anything. You were never around when I was younger.

Cora: Sweetie...I'm sorry for not being around much. But I do care about you.

Cora: You didn't care about me because you still let my father abuse me.

Cora Mother: What??? I didn't even know that. Why didn't you say anything sooner?

Cora: I was scared of what my father would do.

Cora Mother: I'm sorry sweetie. I would tell the police of him abusing you. You might have to go to court to give testimony.

Cora: Okay...

Cora Mother: Is anything else bothering you?

Cora: Yes...but I don't know if I can say because I'm afraid of what he would do.

Cora Mother: You can tell me.

Cora: Okay...Seth has been abusing me ever since we've been together and he drugged me and raped me twice. (beginning to cry)

Cora Mother: What the fuck.

Cora Mother: I'm going to the police about this too.

Cora: Mom...please don't...

Cora Mother: I am going to the police. And you are coming to live at my place.

Cora: Mom...

Cora Mother: Go pack your bag.

Cora: Okay...
