Mum nearly killed me, dad raped me and then I got a hot boyfriend!

~*~ Part 1

My name is Imogen, but I hate my name so I get called Immy. I'm 15 years old and I have a younger brother aged 12 called Oliver, Olly for short.

Today was just like any other day; I woke up at 6:30am to get ready for school and heard my brother getting up at the same time. You see, we go to the same school, Kilman Secondary, he can be a pain by embarrassing me in front of my friends but now I've learnt to put up with it. School finished and I couldn't wait to go home, Olly had embarrassed me more than he usually would, today and I hated it. Our house was only 10 minutes away so we both walked back, Olly caught up with me and apologised for today, I accepted as I knew he did it to look cool in front of his friends, we had had that conversation not long ago. When we got to the front door we knew something was wrong, dad's car wasn't on the drive and he was always home before us.

As we pushed the front door open, we were greeted with quiet sobs coming from my mum's bedroom. We looked at each other and I told Olly to go in his room while I went and spoke to mum. As I pushed her door open she looked up at me, tears glistened on her cheeks.

'Mum, what's wrong?' I asked

'It's your dad, he left!' She replied

'Why did he go?' I asked out of shock

'Well, it's a long story so take a seat.

'He came home early today and I was in our bedroom, so he must have thought I wasn't home. He called to someone out the front door saying that the coast was clear, by now I was curious and had snuck downstairs, I was watching him from round the corner. Just as I was about to come out from my hiding place and ask him what was going on, a blonde woman came in our front door, so I stayed where I was, intrigued as to why she was here. He grabbed her round the waist and pinned her to the wall, snogging her, whilst kicking the door shut. They walked over to the sofa and carried on snogging; taking each other's tops off and I knew it had gone too far.'

Mum started to get hysterical, I had to stop her so she could calm down before carrying on.

' I came out from my hiding place just as he was about to unbutton her skirt, he stared up at me in shock and sat up, pulling his top back on. He walked up to me, apologising but I couldn't let him get away with it, so I asked him one simple question... Is this what you do every day when I'm not around? He didn't reply and I knew what the answer was, I told him I didn't want him to live here, being like that with our kids around. He nodded his head and went to pack his bags, he walked out the front door, apologising once more and then left without another word.'

I sat there in shock for a few seconds before recovering.

'How could he do that to us, we loved and cared for him all the time. That can't have really happened.' But then I realised it had, my dad had cheated on my mum and he was gone. At this point I had started crying and mum pulled me into a hug. 'He's really gone then?' I asked her through sobs. She pulled away and nodded her head. She gave me a squeeze and as she did, she whispered in my ear,

'Don't worry we'll get by, but you probably should tell your brother.'

I nodded my head in agreement and walked down the hallway to Olly's room, he looked up at me and I told him exactly what mum told me. He looked up at me from where he was looking at his lap. His eyes were puffy and he had been crying, I cuddled him as there was nothing else I could do. 'It will be alright Olly, we'll get through this, we just have to trust each other.'

'I...I...Ye...Yeah, I suppose' He stuttered 'I...Just...It will be weird without him!'

'Yeah I know, but let's stop moping around and get some dinner.' I shouted enthusiastically. He looked at me like I was mad to be in a good mood, so I just shrugged my shoulders and went downstairs to find something to eat. As soon as I was downstairs, I dropped the happy facade, leaned against the counter and sighed. I had to keep a happy face in front of Olly, but right now I could cry!

'So what are we having for tea then sis?' Olly asked from behind.

'Oh, um... I'll order some pizza 'cause there isn't anything in the cupboards.'

I ordered the pizza and when it arrived my mum freaked out, thinking it was my dad coming back. But when I assured her it wasn't, it was only the pizza man, she calmed down.
