TOMS POV

shit.shit.shit. I just took her virginity. She looks so peaceful sleeping on my bed under my covers, she doesn't deserve this, why did it have to be me, ME? I have to tell her in the morning, I have too.

MARLENES POV

I woke up, the sun was beaming in into my eyes. My insides hurt, and I I have a pounding headache. I look over next to me and see tom, his beautiful face, sleeping peacefully. But what happened last night shouldn't have happened. I dont regret it, but tom doesn't deserve this I have to to tell him. I snuggle close to him, I just want to enjoy this while I can he will hate me forever anyways.

NARRATORS POV

Marlene snuggles close to him, nuzzling her face into his chest, he jerks awake pulling her close, his eyes full of sadness. "tom.." Marlene say, "yes?" she looks up at him, "we should just be friends...what happened was wrong and it shouldn't have happened! I dont regret it I swear I just, I cant." she sits up looking at him with pleading eyes, she really does like him and he likes her too but even he knows that deep down inside it cant be. or can it? Tom sits up putting his hands on her shoulders softly. "Marlene, it's ok. I feel that way too." her gaze softens as she melts into his arms resting her head on his chest. "SHIT!" she yelps running from the bed and onto the floor searching for her clothes. "WHAT? what's wrong?" Tom gets up concerned and starts looking for his clothes. "what time is it?! omg..." she grabs her bra taking off toms shirt and putting it on. "its like 11 in the afternoon..why?" , "SHIT! I NEED TO GO HOME NOW!" she starts to franticly get dressed fixing her hair in a mirror before running out of his room and down the stairs, Tom quickly follows behind "MARLENE?! WHATS WRONG?" , "im so fucked!" she stops at his front door huffing and burring her head into her hands. Tom stops trying to catch his breath and rubs her back. "look its fine dont worry.. oh and you left this on the floor.." he grabs her hand putting her cash in her hand. "thanks.. ill see you on Monday." she walks out rubbing her temples stuffing the cash in her pocket.

Marlene crawls up the ladder landing carefully in her room and walking down the stairs to the kitchen to see her nan sitting at the table with tears slowly falling down her eyes. "nan.." she shamefully sits in the chair across from her nan, her eyes starting to tear up. "Wie konntest du das tun, Marlene?! Warum bist du so! Ich bin kurz davor, dich mit Tobias zu schicken!" (How could you do this Marlene?!  Why are you like this! Im this close to sending you with Tobias!) gasp "WAS? NEIN! Bitte... er hat mir wehgetan! Es tut mir Leid! Bitte! Bitte! Schicken Sie mich nicht! ich flehe dich an!" (WHAT? NO! please.. he hurt me! im sorry! please! please! don't send me! i beg of you!) she started to sob, her body felt limp, weak.

MARLENES POV

How could she? How could she look me in the eye and THREATEN to send me to TOBIAS? The man that caused me so much harm.. I was so young. I didn't deserve it! "Ich schwöre, Marlene, das wird das letzte Mal sein, dass du dieses Haus nachts verlässt, um zu tun, was immer du willst! Wenn ich jemals wieder in dein Zimmer komme und dich nicht dort und nicht in diesem Haus sehe, werde ich dir die Haut abziehen und dich sofort zu ihm schicken. Mir sind die Lügen, die du über ihn gemacht hast, egal!" (i swear Marlene this will be the last of times you have leave this house at night to do whatever you want! if i ever come into your room again and see you not there and not in this house i will skin you and ship you right away to him i dont care about the lies you made about him!) LIES? LIES? No one ever believed me, no one ever listened, he took everything away from me.. EVERYTHING. My childhood, my innocence.. I stand up abruptly, im mad, very mad, I feel hot, and my tears start to sting my skin, "Ich habe nicht gelogen! aber gut! da du einen Pädophilen mir vorziehst! Ich werde nie verstehen, warum Sie und meine Familie ihn nach all dem beschützen!" (i was not lying! But fine! Since you choose a pedophile over me! I will never understand why you and my family protect him after ALL OF IT!) I scream before clasping my hand to my mouth, I dont know why I said it but the tears started to pour out even more and my knees felt weak, my head was still pounding and everything was blurry, I could still see the look on my nans face tho, the disappointment, disgust, I quickly ran up the stairs into my room slamming the door before I fell to my knees sobbing on the floor, im so tired. im so fucking tired. black
