No one's POV :
Rainbow sighed. The others looked at her, waiting.
Finally said, "I was abused".
The girls gasped. They couldn't believe it. Rainbow nodded. She wrapped her arms around her stomach.
"Any questions??".
"When did this happen??", Twilight asked.
Rainbow looked at the floor.
"From when I was three till I was 12. For 9 years".
"Who hurt you??", Spike asked.
Rainbow bit her lip, looking about ready to cry. A watery sigh was let out. Rainbow clenched her hand into a fist.
"My dad".
Spike eyes widened. He looked at Applejack. The blonde looked back at him. She looked at Rainbow.
"You didn't deserve it".
Rainbow didn't respond. She sunk down in her chair. Covering her mouth with her hand, Rainbow let tears run down her face. Applejack felt her heart break. She didn't like to see Rainbow cry.
"Rainbow", Rarity said.
The girls looked at her.
"I know it causes you alot of pain to talk about it but......what happened??".
They looked at Rainbow Dash. The girl wiped her tears away. She sat up.
"Well", she started. "My dad use to hurt my mom. I can remember seeing him hit her. So one day, she left. She packed up and left".
Applejack gave her a confused look.
"Why didn't she take ya with er??", she asked.
Rainbow shrugged. "I don't know. She never came back. Never. That was the last time I saw her. Then my dad starting drinking when she left and that led to him getting drunk one night. That led to him beating his three year old daughter for the first time. Ever since then he beat me, everyday. He slapped, kicked, punched me. Sent me to the hospital a few times but made it look like an accident that I fell down the stairs when he broke my arm or leg or ankle".
Tears ran down her face as she talked. She was shaking. The girls looked at eachother.
"Then.....one day he was found out and arrested. Then I lived with my uncle".
Applejack couldn't believe what this girl had been through. All that pain she went through. Physically and mentally. She shook her head.
"How could he??. You were a child", Rarity said.
Rainbow shrugged. Applejack couldn't help but feel like she wasn't saying something. Looking at Rainbow she could see her foot tapping, like she was nervous or something or holding something back. She had an idea.
"Rainbow. Let's go ta my house. Just me an you".
Rainbow looked at her. She sniffled and nodded. They stood up.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow", Applejack smiled. The girls nodded. They stood up. Twilight walked up to Rainbow Dash and touched her shoulder. Rainbow flinched a bit.
"Sorry", she said. She let Pinkie and Twilight hug her. She hugged back.
"We're so sorry", Twilight said.
Rainbow backed up and nodded. She looked at the blonde girl. They said bye and left. They walked to Applejack's house. Applejack lived alone. The house was quite nice and cozy. The two headed upstairs to her room. Rainbow wlked in and looked around. Everything was green and red. She smiled and looked at Applejack. The two put their stuff down. They sat on the bed.
