Chapter 18

‼️Warning‼️includes abuse and sexual assault.

My grandfather pulls me by my arm and throws me on the bed. I try to get out of his grip but he's too strong. I struggle, while he has me pinned down he takes my shorts off and start to touch me. Tears start to stream down my cheeks, I'm paralyzed while he's doing it. I then wake up sweating and crying. Then I see Abby sitting on the edge of the bed. "Brooklyn are you okay?" She asks with a worried expression as she pulls me into her arms.

"Y- yeah, just a bad dream is all." I say hugging her tightly. "I haven't had one of those in a while." I add. Thinking about it and crying some more. "Aw it's okay, I'm here now." She says as she draws circles along my back trying to soothe me. "Would you like to come to my room?" She ask as she's still holding me. I just nod my head. She gets up and takes my hand in hers leading the way. I can't hardly think straight. I hadn't had one of those dreams in a while, why all of a sudden now?

I now realize that we're in her room sitting on her bed and she's holding me in her arms. "Do you want to talk about it?" She ask as she puts her head on mine while she gently strokes my hair. "Well I had a dream that." My voice crackes. "That my grandfather was touching me." I say as more tears start to fall down and there's nothing I can do to stop them. I put my head on her chest and she kisses my forehead.

I then wake up and realize, I'm alone. I just sit there staring at the ceiling. Thinking about last night. I don't ever remember falling asleep, I guess I was just so tired from crying. I then feel like I have to use the restroom. I get up and go to her bathroom. When I'm done with my business, I walk down stairs to see her in the kitchen cooking breakfast. And Jules sitting on the floor watching her. "Good morning darling." She says as she noticed I walked in.

"Good morning love." I say as I walk over to the fridge and get me a juice. I then pet Jules as I walk by. "Hey girl." I say with a smile. I then walk behind Abby and give her a hug. She puts her hand over mine. I then move and go sit at the island. "When's your birthday?" I ask as I realize I don't know it. "September 27th." She says. "When's your birthday?" She ask. "February 1st." I say. "Aww so you're turning 15 this year." She says. "Yeah, how old are you turning?" I ask. "28." She says. "Ooo okay." I add.

When I notice that she almost done cooking I get out the sliver wear and plates. "What would you like to drink?" I ask. "Apple juice." She replies. The same as me. I pour us both a cup of apple juice and she puts our food on the island. We both sit down and start eating. "How are you feeling?" She ask as she looks at me. "Better." I say as I eat some more of my food. "Thank you, you're so sweet and loving. You didn't have to hold me all night but you did." I say sincerely.

"Aw darling, you don't have to thank you. If anything I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you being obedient to God, I wouldn't even be where I am today. You truly helped me be a better person and helped me to grow more in Christ." She says as she looks at me with a smile. I smile back, we both just suck up the moment. After we both get done eating we clean up.

"Well I'm gonna go get ready and I put some clothes for you on your bed." She says. "Okay, thank you my love." I say. "Of course darling." She says as she walks up the stairs. I then get a text from Bell.
