I couldn't watch my dad hurt Riker anymore. I loved him very much and I don't like seeing him hurt or getting hurt. I heard something downstairs like the door opening or something like that. Dad didn't hear it, he was too occupied on hurting Riker. I saw on the corner of my eye Jake standing there frightened but pissed off. He saw me and Riker and then looked up at my dad. He walked off to do something. I hope he is going to help me because my legs feel like they are getting torn off by handcuffs and my arms feel like wire is around them and if i try to escape I'm going to have to cut off my hands.
Jake came back with a pan and hit my dad with it on his head making him fall to the ground. Wow its the first time I've seen Jake like this.
Jake: Don't mess with this family and especially my sister you little bitch.
Dad: Wow I haven't seen you in 9 years whats up buddy.
Jake had flinched his hand when my dad touched him.
Jake: Don't think that everything is alright with us. You abused us when we were little and we had to watch our mother get abused for years. We couldn't do anything because you threatened us. I think you were better off in jail. No one had remembered you since then. I've seen Cameron happier without you in my life and that says a lot because with you we were never happy. We had to go to school knowing that every second we were there you were abusing mom.When we got home we knew we were going to get abused by our drunken father who never treated as his own kids but his servants and of we didn't do what you said we would get abused and still have to get it for you. We went to school with bruises and we had to lie to the teachers that we keep falling on our bikes. You don't know how many times I wanted to tell them to remove you from the household because every day we had to put up with your shit until Cameron and I got tired of your shit. I still have the scars from when you took the kitchen knife and started to cut me and Cameron still has hers. We will never forgive you and we never wanted to see you ever again.
I was surprised Jake had stood up for me and had hit him. Thank god he knows how to fight.
Dad: Well that was such a heart warming story but I have some unfinished business with your sister now if you will get the fuck out, take your little friend and....
I heard my dad stop talking and I just looked at him. He was looking at me and Riker going back and fourth. I hope he doesn't hate me forever. My dad knocked him out cold. He was breathing but wasn't looking.
Dad: You and him are dating aren't you.
out of know where I heard something that makes me want to kill myself.
Riker: Not anymore. We are done. I can't do this Cameron. I can defend you from my brother but what I heard from your dad I can't do this.
Cameron: Riker he's lying please believe me. I wouldn't lie about something like this. Please don't do this to me after everything.
He stared at me then at my dad.
Riker: You can let me go I'm going home. I'm done with this Cameron me and you are done. I can't believe I ever dated you. If you were the last person on earth I still wouldn't have dated you. I was just using you because I felt sorry for you.
Dad: Finally someone who has some sense about this spoiled bitch.
Jake had moved out the way letting my dad let go of Riker. Mind you I'm still handcuffed on the bed. Riker left and I couldn't go after him. After the door closed my dad let me go and Jake had knocked him out. After Jake did so I cried. I was in so much pain. My whole relationship with Riker from back then and now killed me. Jake had tied my dad in a chair and had called the cops. I got dressed and cried in the bathroom. I feel so disgusting and used. I took a razor from a drawer that had my shaving stuff and had slid it across my arm. It hurt but not like the words that Riker said or the sexual abuse my dad did to me. I did like a couple more on my left arm and switched to my right arm. After I was done I cleaned the blade and the sink. I put on a sweater and sweats. I feel so self conscious and gross.
The cops had came and took my dad back to jail. He will never come back. Hopefully. I slid my back on the wall and started to softly cry. Jake tried to comfort me.
Jake: Hey it's ok he's not coming back. He will never hurt you or this family again I promise.
Cameron: It's not only him. Riker doesn't trust me anymore because I never told him about dad and he is stuck to dad's story. He thinks I threw dad in jail for no reason but I tried to tell him that it was all a lie but he didn't listen. I don't want to lose Riker. I love him too much to ever lose him. I ended up cutting because of him and dad.
I showed Jake both of my arms and his eyes widened.
Jake: Please don't ever self harm again please I don't want to lose you. Don't ever, EVER do it again. What will mom think. She is going to be disappointed in you. But I wouldn't blame you. That's the reason I've been wearing sweaters all the time. I've been cutting too and I never stopped. I've done it since dad had left to jail 9 years ago and I guess I've been doing it ever since.
I hugged Jake. He doesn't deserve to be in this pain. None of us do. Mom came home and we told her what happened not putting the cutting part. She was happy that we threw him in jail again and she hugged both of us really tightly. I guess she was crying because I heard sniffling coming from her. I have to find a way to talk to Riker Bout this. He needs to know the truth about my past. I need to tell him everything. No more holding back. No more secrets. Just full on truth and no bluffs. I love him and he needs to know the truth about the real me and the real family that I have and had back then.
