Ryan left and Tamara sat on the sofa with Lucy
L-tam we're going to go work okay but we can't tell anyone that Ryan hurt me okay
Ta-why they can tell him off mummy
L-I know but he didn't mean it okay let's head there just promise not to say anything okay
Ta-okay I promise mummy they go to Lucy's shift then go back home as the weeks progress Ryan gets worse he eventually even started to r@pe her so Lucy would have to send Tamara to Angela's when he did so she wouldn't see when one night Ryan was hitting Lucy really bad again leaving her with a black eye and busted lip as well as a lot of bruises on her body the next day she was at the station and Lucy and Tamara was talking whilst Lucy was getting changed just as she was pulling down her top Angela walked in
A-woah Luce where did you get those bruises
L-I'm just clumsy
A-you sure they seem like handprint bruises Lucy
L-there not
A-Lucy is someone hurting you
L-no
A-tell me what's going on I can literally see the handprints Lucy
L-I'm not being hurt god
Ta-but mummy
L-Tamara no
Ta-but
L-I said no Tamara it's fine
Ta-but mummy he-
L-Tamara that's enough Lucy said angrily glaring at Tamara
Tamara started to cry and shake
L-tam I didn't mean it baby
Ta-no leave me alone I'm just trying to say something before I loose you he hurts you mummy
L-I know baby I'm sorry okay
Ta-tell Angela she can help us get away
A-Luce
L-it's Ryan he's been hurting me and r@ping me
A-Lucy why didn't you tell me oh my goodness we're going to get him
L-okay I'll stay here with Tamara
Angela got Ryan put in jail
A-he's away now
L-thanks Ange
A-no problem but seriously if you need anything call me okay and next time say something before it's too late
L-I will thanks
They leave and arrive home
Ta-mummy why did Ryan hurt you
L-he was just being mean baby
Ta-is that okay?
L-no baby people aren't supposed to hurt others when they're sad
Ta-okay they go back home to Lucy's a few years later
When Tamara was 12 she was r@ped repeatedly by an older man she finds herself lost and sad and her life becomes overwhelming and she starts to hurt herself and have panic attacks she hid the cuts and scars from everyone they didn't know that she hurt herself.
