The Tracy Family Feud (Thunderbirds)

Chapter 43

I just felt so trapped, I didn't know what to do, my dad wouldn't stop hurting me, I was forced to wear long sleeves in high school because everyone would get worried and he would get even more angry if I told someone, even in PE people would stare, he made me feel so self conscious about my body afterwards, Virgil opened his mouth to speak

"I love you, and I would never hurt you or allow you to get hurt-" Virgil stopped speaking because Jeff entered the room, it was like Virgil stopped showing any love or affection towards me because his dad was there, it was like he was embarrassed about being with me

"Virgil can I talk to you for a second" Jeff requested

"Sure" Virgil smiled and he walked into Jeff's office

*Virgil's POV*

I knew what dad wanted to talk to me about

"What's up" I asked

"Olivia, I heard what happened, how do you feel about it" dad answered

"I don't know, I just feel down about it, she's been jumpy around me lately, I can't even touch her without her freaking out, I just wish there was something I could do" I sighed

"She's suffered five years of child abuse, she mistook you for her dad, she thought you were going to hurt her" dad explained

"I know, I guess that's why she screamed at me" I realised

"What did she say, well scream" dad wondered

"Well she said "don't hurt me daddy" I think she just kinda had a moment, I didn't understand why she did that, she even warned me to stay away" I told him

"Look after her, Virgil, do what ever it takes for you to help her recover from the abuse, she needs to learn how to forget about it, if she doesn't it could hurt her even more" dad had an concerned expression on his face

"I'll try to anyway" I nodded

*Olivia's POV*

I had a little walk down the beach, I preferred isolation because that's the conditions my dad wanted me to be in, he never let me have any friends, he always took my phone at the end of the day, he locked me in my room until my homework was done, I got so lost in thought that I tripped over my own feet and I landed in the sand, I looked up to see Gordon standing over me, he was holding a surfboard, his broken hand was bandaged up

"Hey Gordon" I smiled weakly, spitting out most of the sand that was in my mouth

"Hey, er Olivia why are you becoming one with the beach" Gordon asked

"Why do you question the logic of Dolphins" I returned the question

"Touché" Gordon smiled

I slowly got up, brushing all of the sand off me

"Right I'm gonna surf" Gordon told me, I grabbed on to his wrist

"You can't, your hand, I don't want you to get hurt" I panicked

"I'll be fine, go back to snogging Virgil" Gordon snapped

He looked angry, it was the same anger that my dad showed, I panicked and I had to run
