You walked to my bedroom door

Slowly creaked it open

And whispered my name

I replied with "Yes daddy?"

"Daddy had a long day of work sweetie."

"Oh I'm sorry. Are you tired?"

"Yes I am sweetie, and I want to feel better."

"Okay. Do you want me to warm you up some dinner?"

"No..."

Then you closed my door quietly

I thought you didn't want to wake mommy up

And I was right

But for the wrong reason

I scooched over

Making room for you

On my twin size bed

I remember the awkwardness

You feet dangling over the edge

You turned towards me

Whispering my name

In a voice as soft and dolce as a note on a violin

"Yes daddy?"

"Make me feel better."

"How daddy?"

Your reply was to pull my nightgown off

Before you got to all the way done I stopped you

"Daddy what are you doing?" I asked a little frightened

"Shhh baby it's okay...you want to make daddy happy right?"

I nodded

"So just let it happen and don't worry about."

You touched me

In places a 7 year old shouldn't be touched

Or any kid for that matter

When you finished

You put my night gown back on

And told me not to tell anybody

And that this was our little secret

You didn't do it again

I was happy

It made me feel weird

And uncomfortable

Weeks later

You came home

Bumping into things

Mumbling gibberish

Breaking mama's favorite vase

Tripping over the rug

Stumbling everywhere

Eventually

You got to my room

Bursting through the door

As if it were an emergency

You walked into my desk

Using your hands to find your way to my bed

When you found it

You ripped my covers off

The cold air splashing my body

A round of goose bumps adorning my skin

You started ripping my clothes off

No gentleness what so ever

You weren't the same

You used to be nice

Calm

Gentle

And sweet

But all traces of the old you

Were gone

I let out a startled cry

In return I was given a slap to the face

I kicked and I screamed as you raped me

My sobs wracked my body

I let out a ear piercing scream

But no one seemed to hear

It made me feel helpless

No one could help

Or would help me

I felt numb

I thought it would never end

It did

But the pain never subsided

The pain never dulled

It stayed

I don't know if it was from you hurting me

Or the pain of my heart breaking

It was intense

After

You slipped my night gown over my head

Tucked me in

Kissed me on my forehead good night

As if nothing happened

That continued for years

No one knew

Especially not mama

We walked on

Displaying a perfect image of a family

I was afraid of you

The power you had over me

It was terrifying

But that was the past

I'm stronger now

I'm better

And I just wanna say a few words

Happy death day you sick twisted bastard

Inspiration: Caught Like A Fly by Falling In Reverse and my mom randomly waking me up by yelling at 5 in the morning.

The cover says: it does my heart a world of good, to see you in this box of wood.

Tell me what you think whether its good, bad, terrible, decent. Don't forget, comment, vote, fan! My sister gave me an idea for a second part, so if I write it, I'll post it as it's own story. Or should I add it to here? Anyway I'll figure it out. Stay awesome!
