Flashback⏮️

Delilah's POV:
I work with victims every day, with kids who are sexually assaulted and raped by parents or step parents. I hear the traumatizing stories. I see what it does to a person. I see the effects it has on people. But I never would have thought I'd have to live through it.

You can imagine what it does to a person. You can try to put yourself in their shoes. But you'll never know what it feels like until it happens to you.

I stayed still on the couch afraid to move. He zipped up his fly while I laid there shaking.

I wanted to cry but I couldn't.
I wanted to run but I felt paralyzed.

I wondered what would have happened if I hadn't decided on the skirt today. Or If I would've worn a shirt without cleavage.

How could I be so dumb to follow him to the basement? I should have known better.

I should have.
I shouldn't have.
I could've.

But what about him.

What if he didn't rape me?
Why did he rape me?

Does anyone ever ask that.

I slowly came to my feet, my legs were sore. He had been so aggressive with it. He wanted to make sure he could finish.

It was 5 minutes.
How could someone's life change in 5 minutes.

Doug: "You did good, Delilah"
He walked up the stairs

Hearing my name in his mouth made me want to puke.

I grabbed the papers off his desk and quickly ripped them up before he could sign anything.

I quickly went up the stairs and saw Paco

Delilah: "Hey, Paco we're gonna get going okay?"
I grabbed his hand

Paco: "but I thought-"
Delilah: "okay. Let's go"

I quickly pulled him out of the door before anyone could say anything. I forgot my coat but I wasn't about to go back in there.

Paco: "I thought I was gonna be adopted?"

I nodded

Delilah: "you will be. I promise. Just not by them."

I opened the door to the car and he got in the back seats.

When I went to the front seats the wife was walking towards me

Agatha: "I thought we were taking him?"

I got a little closer to her and put my hand on her arm

Delilah: "leave. Get away from that man. I'm not sure what he's done to you, but you have to get out of there."
Agatha: "excuse me?"

If he did that to me, how much has he done to her.

Delilah: "he- he raped me. You have to leave him- hear I will give you my number if you need help-"
She slapped me hard
