Ezra

I heard tires screeching as I stood on the side walk as I stare into space.

"Ezra, baby, what happened!" I felt warm hands cupping my cheeks and I let out a painful sob as I collapsed into her arms. She immediately pulled me into her chest and whispered soothingly into my ear to calm me down.

"I-I c-can't t-take i-it anymore." I said between sobs and Valencia kissed my forehead.

"Let's go home and then you can tell me what happened, okay?" She asked softly and I nodded.

She helped me into the car and buckled me in as I just sat there emotional less.

I can't believe my own father tried to rape me. I feel disgusted and dirty as I can still feel his hands on me.

"Baby, we're here." I felt a hand on my thigh and hold back a flinch.

It's just Val.

It's just Val.

It's just Val.

Not my disgusting father.

She helped me up to her room and closed her bedroom door and locked it. She leads me to her bed and sat me down gently.

She sat next to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"What happened, baby?" She asked softly and I felt hot tears streaming down my face.

I calmed myself down before I could explain her the situation.

"My mother killer herself when I was thirteen years old because of my father who abused her day and night. She would always protect me from him she would always take the hits than me. After her funeral my father got worse, the drinking got worse at some point I think he started doing drugs. Everyday after school when I would get home he would beat me to a fucking pulp." I swallowed thickly before I continued.

"Some days I'm lucky when he would disappear for a week or two at most when I can get the time for my bruises to heal properly. But today he went too far." I choked out.

"H-He t-tried t-to t-touch m-me." I sobbed and I heard her gasp. I looked at her and saw silent tears streaming down her face.

"H-He d-did b-but I fought back." I sniffed and wiped my tears away with my sleeves.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, sweetheart?" She asked me her voice sounds broken.

"I don't want to get into the foster system since I'm almost done with my high school career." She sniffed and wiped her eyes.

"You're never going to go back to that house ever again." She said sternly as she paced in front of me.

"My mother is the best lawyer in the country she can help you to put the fucker behind bars." She's lived and all I do is nod.

"Thank you." My voice came out hoarsely and she stopped her pacing and looked at me with the softest look I've even seen.

"Does Leah know?" I shook my head.

"No, I'm too scared to tell her." She pushed me off the bed and wrapped her arms tightly around my body.

"It's okay, let's take it one day at a time." She whispered softly in my hear and I nod against her shoulder.

"From now on you'll stay with me, and no arguments." She said sternly and I gave her a small smile with a nod.

"Yes, ma'am." I salute playfully at her and she gave me a soft smile.

"Won't your parents have a problem with this." Valencia suddenly laughs and I frown.

"Baby, their the most friendliest people in the world, they wouldn't mind, plus when they hear about you being my girlfriend they will probably want to adopt you." She mumbled the last part making me chuckle nervously.

"I don't think I want to be my girlfriend's step sister." She snorted and cackled at that.

"Yeah, me neither."

"Let's get you in the bath." She said as she got some clean clothes from her closet.

I plopped down on her bed and waited for her to finish running me a bath.

"Okay the water is ready, will you be okay?" She asked softly as she walked out of her bathroom.

"Will you maybe help me, it's just my body is in a lot of pain." I explained shyly with a blush. She smiled softly at me.

"Of course, baby."
