The Fluffy Sofa ✔️

Date: Friday 10th September 2021

I heard mum on the phone tonight. I think she was talking to dad. She was very upset.

"There is no going back from this!" Silence whilst dad replied. "You let it happen though! Nothing about it was an accident!"

I had my ear pressed up against the kitchen door, trying so hard to calm my breathing so I could actually hear what was being said instead of the pounding of my heart in my ears.

"I feel violated, Ander. You chose him over me and your family." I vaguely heard dad reply something about being family too. They were talking about you. I knew it. You had to have done something to mum. I let her finish on the phone before I went in to ask.

I straight up asked if you, Uncle Zane, had done something to her. She burst into tears and from that I didn't need an answer. I knew that it was true.

She told me that one day she was in her bedroom in her underwear (not like it matters) when dad came in. Or she thought it was dad. You were dressed as dad. You purposely pretended to be him. He was due to come home any minute so it's not like you weren't expecting him. You wrapped your arms around her, feeling every inch of her body, before taking her to the bed. You didn't even put a condom on, because why would you if you were meant to be my dad? They were actively trying to have another baby. You knew that.

But it was halfway through and mum knew something wasn't right. He didn't feel like dad. That's when it clicked and she realised it was you. She told you to stop, screamed for you to stop. But you held your hand over her mouth and with the other hand, pinned her arms above her head until you finished.

Basically, Uncle Zane. You raped my mum, pretending to be my dad. And that's not even the worst part! Dad walked in just as you finished. He saw the state mum was in. How frightened she was and he laughed. He thought it was such a hilarious "prank". No. There's nothing funny about that. I am completely disgusted with you. Who are you?!

Mum was so emotionally scarred. She confided in me. Then she asked me a question which scared me to my core. Made me question everything.

She asked me : Has Uncle Zane ever touched you?

My first answer was of course not! But then I thought hard. Every time I have been alone with you in private, I always fall asleep. For as long as I can remember. It never made sense. It caused memory problems but I never said anything. I have always felt awkward down there, especially after seeing you. Like an achy feeling. Is that a coincidence?

Is this why I initially felt that weirdness when I was with Fin? Was it my subconscious telling me what had happened to me? You followed that girl. You were going to hurt her like you did mum. How many other people have you hurt?

Regardless, I chose not to say anything to my mum. What good would it have done? I told her that you haven't touched me. I mean, really I don't even know if you have. I might just be thinking these things because mum has told me something horrific.

I need you to tell me the truth. I'm not leaving without the truth. You're going to have a visit from me in the morning. I cannot believe you did this to mum. I am furious. I cuddle you. I tell you everything, Uncle Zane. You were meant to be the person who I could trust beyond everything else. I don't know if I will ever be able to look at you after this.
