The Trade

Daddy

Railin .

One thing Rylee and My brothers always did was make sure I was safe, no matter where I was or who I was with. I never worried about bad things happening because I had them. When Ry died.. that was one less person here to protect me, in turn I gained Rod. But nobody... NOBODY could protect me tonight .I felt so low, and disgusting. The fact that I have not one memory with him, or the fact that this whole year has already been a blur, bothers me. And now I feel nothing for him but disgust and a broiling hatred that honestly scares me, I've never been so afraid of someone, but I knew when he came to Jojo's school, something wasn't right with him. I do not feel guilty about my lack of affection for him, would you if you knew your father walked out when you were only a week old and then came back 19 years later to take you.. from you?. I do worry that my fury and rage will hurt someone else in my life who is deserving of something better, tho, cause now that Im really thinking about it, maybe he's the reason Im so bitter. I'm gonna change, for me, cause I can't continue to ruin myself, for his mistakes. But he..... He deserves to be imprisoned for life,better yet, he deserves to die.

"Miss..?" The male detective kneeled in front of me as I sat on the curb of the street.

"Amos" I whispered

"I'm so sorry this happened to you tonight. But if you don't mind, I need to ask you some questions. Is that okay?"

I nodded

"Okay..what were you doing in this alley?" he asked sitting next to me

"He brought me here..." I whispered again

"Okay, did he say anything to you before bringing you here, or while you were here"

"He told me last time he saw me I was being disrespectful.. and then I don't remember anything else except lying under him"

"You've met him before?" he asked kind of surprised

I nodded again as my eyes started to water

"Miss Amos, where do you know him from?" he asked turning his body toward me

"He's my father" I said as tears finally escaped.

After I said that he stood and walked off, but I could hear someone calling my name.

"Railin!!! Rai!!!" I looked around to see Rod, they were trying to talk to him but he was trying to get to me

Who called him? I didn't want him to see me like this?

Even tho I didn't want him to see me, I ran to him and broke down in his arms

"It's okay.. Stop crying" he kept repeating as he rubbed my back

But I couldn't who could?

"Excuse me sir, if you would like you can escort her to the emergency room for a rape kit. Or we can take her" A woman in all black said to Rod

"I got it" he said and e started walking toward his car

He held my hand the whole way there, but didn't say anything. And Im happy he didn't, what could he possibly say that'll make me forget what just happened to me? Nothing

We got inside and was told to change into a hospital gown and put my clothes in the bag, and they would take them as evidence.

The detective stayed in the room and asked a few more questions as they examined me

"Rai, that cop said you know the person, who did this?" Rod asked as I got dressed in the sweats the hospital gave me

I didn't answer him, I just walked out of the room and out to the car. I was so out of it I hadn't even realized he was alone
