Life Unexpected (Previously Called Sex Slave)

Six

I picked up Amelia from the couch and carried her to bed before Leana arrived so we wouldn't wake her.

Leana arrived in exactly ten minutes, I opened the door for her, she held a small bag in her hands that im assuming held her clothes and essentials for her to stay at my apartment.
I greeted her and pulled her into my arms for hug, knowing how bad she must need that right now.

I took in her appearance, faded ripped jeans, run down black vans, ratty oversized black crewneck, her blonde hair in a messy bun with sunglasses covering her blue eyes. I knew it was bad when I saw the sun glasses. It was nearly 10:00 pm, so she must be hiding a bruise.

"Leana. What happened?"
She shook her head and pulled her glasses off, holding back a sob.

"Im gonna make some tea okay? Go sit in the living room, I'll be right there. Okay?"
She nodded her head and walked towards the living room; i put the water to boil, got everything ready and made my way back to Leana.

"Sweetheart,you've got to tell me what happened." I said to her softly. I didnt want to rush her, but I needed to know who hurt her, and who gave the horrible purple bruise around her left eye.

"It was Kevin." Kevin was her father, he was an absolute good for nothing drunk "He, he came home drunk again.I dont know what happened, but he started yelling as soon as he saw me and h-he threw me against the wall, and oh my god, it was really bad this time Vee. It was so bad" she covered her face with her hands, dropping her face into her lap. I could hear the sobs leaving her mouth.
It broke my heart seeing this happen to her, she was such an amazingly beautiful girl, inside and out; and she was always treated so horribly.
I put my arms around her, pulling her into my chest, trying my best to comfort her, rubbing her back in a soothing way.

"It'll be okay love, okay? I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, okay? Momma Vee's got you, okay?" I felt her nod her head "okay" in the crook of my neck. "Momma Vee" was what some of the younger waitresses called me at the diner since i tend to "act like a mom" and i go in "mom mode" a lot.

After a few moments, she began to calm down.
"Do you want to talk about it love?" I asked her.

She sat up, pulling her knees to her chest and wraping her arms around them.
"He. He choked me. And my stomach, he. He hit me so hard he threw me down and h-he punched and he kicked me" I looked into her face as she told me what happened. Her face blank, not showing any emotion; as if she had gone back to the moment this was happening. " He was so violent Violet. He has never been this bad. He hit me. He hit me everywhere, I can still feel all the punches and I can still hear the words he was shouting at me. He told me I was the reason my mother left him, I'm a slut, a whore; "you're nothing but a cheap whore who has sex with men for money. You're worthless no wonder your mother didn't want you." That's what he said to me Vee. My own father said that to me!" Picking up her head, she looked me in the eyes; I could she the tears brimming her eyes threatening to fall.

"He's so wrong Leana. I have been blessed with the chance to meet you nearly six months ago, and everyday I see you is a blessing. You are one of the beightest girls I know; you are so incredibly intelligent, you are in six AP classes Lea! Six! I dont know anybody who can handle six AP classes,swim practice and meets, and a part time job, all while maintaining a 3.4 GPA. You have the brain of a genius! And you are so absolutely stunning, you have the most beautiful blue eyes, the look like a deep crystal blue, with gorgeous long wavey blonde hair that everyone is jealous of, even me. And you have a rockin' body babe. You deserve to show it off every chance you get, you know who you are; you do not need some deadbeat scum to define you as something you're not. Don't listen to him Leana, please."

"I love you so much Violet."

"I love you too Lea, I'll always be here for you okay?" I reassured her, pulling her in for a tight hug"

"Violet?" She said softly

"Yeah?"

"He kicked me out. Kevin, he said he never wants to see me again, that i has to pack my bags and never go back" you could hear how much this was effecting her in her voice. You could hear how broken and torn she is about all of this, her voiced was still raspy from her crying, and it cracked consistently.

"You know you always have a home with me buttercup."

"God momma vee, i dont know what I'd do without you"

"And you are never going to find out. Now come on dear, i left the water boiling on the stove."

We made our way to the kitchen fixing ourselves some tea for the night.

"Are you hungry love? I can make you something to eat. Or maybe some comfort food? I've got ice cream in the freezer and cookies in the pantry." I told Leana.

"I'm alright Vee, but thank you." She looked absolutely fatigued.

"You don't ever have to thank me for taking care of you Leanna. You may only be a few yeara youger than me, but I Will still treat you as if youre my daughter"

She looked up from her mug, "You are such an amazing human being Violet, i just dont know how I'll ever be able to repay you for everything you do for me."

"Find happiness sweetie, that is all the payment i need." I said giving her a soft smile.

I looked at the clock noticing thay it was now nearing 11 o'clock at night.

"I made up the guest room before you came, you remember where it is right?" She nodded yes, answering my question. "Its nearly 11:00 pm, and you have school tomorrow and I have work, so feel free to freshen up before bed, alright love?"
She just nodded her head in response.
"If you need anything, do not hesitate to wake me up, okay?" I looked her in the eyes so she would know how serious i was, and how much i meant it.

"Sleep well buttercup, i hope you have sweet dreams okay? And if not, my door is always open." I told Leana, before pulling her into a tight hug, I felt her squeeze me back just as tight as i was squeezing her.
"I love you so much Violet" i heard her whisper softly.
"I love you too baby" i said, placing a kiss to the crown of her head.

I let go of the embrace, "You're gonna get through this, youre strong" i told her.

She just nodded her head in response, like before.

"Now get some rest love."

And with that, the both of us retreated to our rooms for the night to try and get some shut eye after the event that just happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wrote this in one night at 2am so its probably super sloppy and messy and im not too sure if it even makes sense, but for some strange reason i wanted this in the book; so yeah. I dont know, i just really like the character Leana. I feel like she is such an intelligent and beautiful girl that i want incorporated into this book.
And dont worry, Ashton is gonna come back, but it takes a while to build all of this up. Especially when this is soo go with the flow.

But nonetheless please enjoy xx
