"Start with the beginning... something you forgot to mention before we got together... for the first time"
"Well... it's a bit complicated.. it's something I don't mention much..."
"Just tell me... please"
"Ok... you know how I told you... I moved to Texaco while I was in Junior High"
"Yeah"
"Well... I was molested"
"By who"
"A faculty member"
"Why didn't you tell me"
"Because I was ashamed... ashamed of what I went through"
I sat up and faced towards him. My poor, I mean poor Larry. Thats way off from what was I expecting.
"Uh... how long did you wait out before telling anyone"
"I didn't wait... she told on herself"
"Why would you be ashamed... the other person who did that to you should be really ashamed"
"My parents found out and they pressed charges... now she's in prison.. for I don't know how long.. I felt embarrassed so I didn't want to go back to school... my dad sent me to my real mom in New Mexico"
"Wait.. so the one I met is your step mother"
"Yes... you haven't met my real mom yet"
"Oh my god Larry! Urm... I'm sorry... continue"
Holy shyt! I didn't expect this one bit, I calmed myself down and try not to be too loud. Because Kylie is sleeping upstairs.
"When I moved to New Mexico... I felt somewhat relieved but still hesitant to go back to school... Once I started fitting in with the crowd, it became easier to live happier... I had a lot of friends, popular and not popular... that's how I met Megan..."
"Wow... I'm sorry you had to go through that..."
"It's ok"
"This is what.. you wanted to mention before our relationship"
"This and another"
I sat there, starring down at my cup of tea. I never met anyone who was molested. The cases I heard were mainly kids and older adults. It's gross, how people can be. I thought my relationship with Jake was bad. Well, I don't know, seem kinda equal, with the forcing, the beating and the threatening. I can't imagine what he went through.
"What's the other"
"Going into my senior year... Megan told me she was expecting... it happened the summer before senior year... we did it I mean... and we were into the second or third week of school is when she told me... I couldn't handle it... I wasnt working or anything... all I did was ride bulls throughout high school... I broke it off with her... I told her I needed to get myself straighten out... it was all happening so fast... I wa-"
"Have you heard a thing called condom"
"She told me she was birth control"
"Well you were a teenager... your out raging moments"
"Oh like you haven't done anything extreme"
"I did... but it's not about me tonight... it's you.."
"We were apart for six months... she got an abortion..."
"Larry... is this why you were scared when we heard about Kylie"
He nodded his head and wiped a tear. This guy has some background, this is completely crazy. I don't blame him, guy has been through a lot. Being mallested at a young age, was nearly going to be a father while in high school.
