Mia's POV
I felt really dizzy, I thought to myself as I was starting to wake up. Correction, I am awake, but I don't know what's going on. Looking at the time I realized I was out for a good 10 hours. One thing was really odd though. Where's Justin?
I could barely walk because I still felt fuzzy. I checked in every room until I stumbled on the last step of the stairs and saw Justin come from the direction of the kitchen. I saw before he got up that he was looking at the bottle.
"Mia!" Justin says as he runs and hugs me.
"What happened? I mean like I remember, but I don't." I said a little confused.
"You don't remember anything?" Justin says confused too.
"No I do remember, but I mean who did this?" I ask, but then the messages clicked.
Then Justin hands me his phone showing my the text message Derrick sent him. Dammit, I thought to myself. I have to tell Justin.
"Mia, I thought your father was in jail?" He ask looking at me with concern.
"He is.." I said to him.
"Then why the hell is he sending you and me this?" Justin said pulling out my phone and the messages. I literally slap my forehead because I didn't want Justin to read them.
"Because.." I said not wanting to tell him the whole backstory.
"Because what Mia?" He asked again but I turned my face.
"Because he's not a good father." I said hoping it was a good enough reason.
"Not good enough, I know that obvious by the looks of it he wants to hurt you." Justin said.
"Justin not now." I begged.
"Yes now! If he's capable of doing such a thing like this, then imagine I could find you dead." He nearly screamed and I could feel the hot tears pouring down from my eyes and onto my cheek.
"I don't want to tell you." I said.
"Why not? I thought you trusted me?" He said.
"Because it's personal Justin!" I finally said.
"I know that, but your life is in danger Mia!" Justin said and I was taken back. I took a step back away from him and I just thought for a moment. Fighting with myself if I wanted to tell him something I don't tell anyone and I mean no one.
"He wants me dead, I'm the one who put him in prison.." I started as Justin looked at me. I looked up trying to get the tears to stop. My hands were shaking and I was scared. I needed to calm down before I had a panic attack.
"He um, he b- he beat me.. H-he s-s-sold me, he umm, he raped me.." I said trying to get the words out and I saw Justin's facial expression change into major sympathy. He tried to reach for me but I backed up not wanting his sympathy.
"For 5 years he did it. 5 years I delt with it and the moment I turned 18 I turned him in." I said angry.
"You were 13, but your mom passed away when you were 16?" Justin asked.
"I know what age I was dammit. Why the hell do you think she died so young." I said angrier.
"Mia.." He said looking sorry.
"I could only do so much for my mother." I said.
"He secretly beat me and sold me to strangers for 2 years and the moment my mother died 6 months later, he just drank and drank and drank." I said.
"How could he hurt his own daughter! How could he hurt you! " He says while standing up & running his hands through his hair.
" Justin.. Not everyone gets a happy family. I don't know why it happened to me but it did." I said just wanting to cry again.
"Wait, but if he's in jail, how is he getting in contact with you?" He ask wiping his own tears away.
"Cause his sentence went from 5 years to 2-3 years." I say lowly.
"Wait how do you know this? And how did he get sentence such little time? He should have been sentenced for life!" He says confused.
"The day before we went to Europe, I went to court. He had another trial, which I don't know why, but Derrick has an amazing lawyer and that's why they shortened it and why he got such little time. I'm guessing he took a plea." I say looking him in they eye.
"You what?! Okay forget it, how much time has he served?" He ask
"Almost a year, he could get out next year.. And I'm scared." I say looking down.
"He won't hurt you, because I'm here now." Justin said seriously.
I just hugged him. Little did he know one year would be on my 19th birthday.
