Chapter 78: Who Was He?

The cops showed up and Tommy right after. He was worried and angry. He came up to us immediately, disregarding the police. "Are you guys alright?! What the fuck happened?!" He asked, freaking out. Naomi explained what happened to him but I didn't say a thing. I didn't want to. Alex was sitting next to me. I made her hide after I heard a scream downstairs. She looked at me concerned. She knew something was wrong. So did Tommy. I mean I was all beat up but the man that did it, he was a person that knew me very well. I can't put my tongue on it.

The cops asked me basic questions and I answered. They left eventually, making sure we were alright and keeping other cops on the watch around our house. I got up and went to my room and layed on my bed. I began trying to think who would know me as well as that man. A named immediately popped in my head. Joe. I couldn't call the cops. I didn't want to risk my family's life, Alex' life. He would come and kill me and the people I loved. He was dangerous, probably more so now.

I remembered everything he did to me. He really fucked with my head. He manipulated me to a point were I didn't know who I was anymore. That's why I started doing a lot of drugs. I lost myself completely and then I met Naomi. She was my first real friend and then eventually I accepted her as my sister.

He knows where I live now. He knows who's all with us accept Tommy and Alex. He won't leave me alone until he gets me all to himself. I grabbed the bottle of vodka I kept under my bed for myself and drank from it. I didn't want to remember what he said and did to me tonight and I didn't want to remember what he said and did to me in the past. Tears fell down my face and I kept drinking.
