Take me {Paul Zimmer}

When I look at you

New home?

*One Month Later*
•April's POV•
It's been one month since we left from the lake house and Chloe's parents want me to move in with them. They know all about what happens at my house. How my mom abuses me, how her boyfriend molests my mom just sits there and laughs. My mom has been on drugs since she left my Dad. Wow every time I bring up my Dad I feel my heart break. I miss him. I wish he was still here with me. I seriously HATE going home. Knowing that my Mom moved on so quickly. She never went to see him or me at all. The only time I saw her was when he was sick.

Staying at Chloe's isn't a bad idea. I can see Paul and I will be living with by cousin who is like a sister to me. This could actually be fun. Well, I'll think about it.

I call my mom to see if she's okay with it and she said "fuck yeah! I don't want your skinny ugly ass here anymore. Get the fuck out of my house right now. I hope you die like your father!" So I guess that's a yes... My own mother tells me that. Wow what a mother right?

I run downstairs and tell Chloe and her parents that if it okay I would move in. Everyone seems happy about it. If my Dad was still here I wouldn't feel so sad like I do. My own mother tells me this shit. She could care less for me.

I text Paul and Danny the news. Paul wants to come over. He said he wants to talk to me... I'm scared. What if he wants to breakup? I don't want to lose him. I've lost so many people and I really don't want to lose him. I have gotten so close to him. He knows everything about me except for my Dad but he's seen me at rock bottom. He's helped me up when I was down. It's like he is my angel. I don't want to lose my angel.

Paul comes over and we go into my room. He hugs me tightly and I hug him back. Why is he hugging me like this? "April, I want you to tell me everything. Chloe told me about how when you said you were moving in you started crying. Please. Baby, tell me. I don't want you to be sad. I want you to be happy. I don't like knowing you're sad." He told me while we were still hugging.

I start to sob knowing what Chloe was talking about. Chloe knows I miss my Dad. I was a Daddy's girl. My Dad was my bestfriend. He had to raise me on his own. "Well when I was 13, my Dad passed away to lung cancer. My Dad was my rock, my hero, my bestfriend. My Mom had left him when I was 4. S-she didn't g-go visit m-me at all. She m-missed my tenth bir-birthday. It's like I grew up without a mom. My dad had to be a dad and a mom. He never moved on from her but she did. The way my mom treats me makes me think she hates me. She baby's my brother and she lets her boyfriend do whatever he wants with me so she can get more drugs. Last year I had to stay with Chloe for two months because what my mom had done to me. She bought me a pretty dress and curled my hair. She even put make up on me. When she was done with making me look 'pretty' she tied me to the bed and let her boyfriend come in. He raped me and she just let it happen. When he was done he gave her money for more drugs. Chloe's mom came in the house for a bit because it was my birthday. She saw me there on the bed with bruises everywhere and cuts on my legs. She took me to her house. When she left my moms boyfriend told her 'if you tell anyone I'll kill you and her too'. I have nightmares of him getting me again. When my dad died I had to move with my mom. Moving here just makes me so happy that I won't have to be scared to go home anymore."

I just sobbed in Paul's chest. "Shhh. It's okay baby, I'm here. I won't let him get you ever. I'll protect you forever I promise." Paul told me while hiding me in his arms. I looked up at him and he was crying too. I pressed our lips together and I felt sparks. I felt a warmth in my heart. I knew that I am safe with him. I know he is going to protect me. When I look into his eyes I see my happiness and safety...

I know that my Dad would be proud of me if he met Paul. I know that Chloe gets jealous of my because of my body but I can't control what my body does. She doesn't know that I'm jealous of her because she has parents that love her and each other. Her Dad is still alive and he's healthy. My Dad is gone and I can't ever get him back. My mom acts like I'm dog shit on her shoe.

I just stay there laying on my bed wrapped up in Paul's arms as I cry into his chest.

When I'm all calmed down Paul has to go home because he has work tomorrow. He kisses my forehead and tell everyone bye. I go back up to my room. I put my ear-buds in and play some music as I fall asleep.
